Abstract:
In some embodiments, a global tree structure identifying rendezvous points between a layer 1 network area and a layer 2 network area may be created. When the rendezvous point receives a data packet associated with a destination for the layer 1 network area from the layer to network area, it may forward the data packet to the destination. Non-rendezvous point devices may discard copies of the data packet.
Abstract:
Control plane analytics and policing may be provided. First, packets that traverse a port may be parsed. Next, based on the parsed packets, metrics for each of a plurality of hosts on a per-protocol basis may be created. The created metrics may then be analyzed and at least one restriction on at least one of the plurality of hosts may be applied based on the analysis.
