Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for improving policy distribution in a network. The policy distribution may be improved based on a conversation between devices of the network. The techniques include initiating a policy download trigger based on the conversation. The policy download trigger may specify a particular destination device for a data transfer across the network. Therefore, policies specific to the destination device may be downloaded and/or installed at points of enforcement in the network. In this way, the techniques described herein may improve the efficiency of network resource use.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for maintaining reachability of an application moving between a central cloud network and a fog network using duplicate endpoint identifiers. Network characteristics of a cloud environment are monitored. The cloud environment includes a central cloud network and a fog network. A server in the central cloud network hosts an application that serves a client device. The application is assigned an endpoint identifier that is mapped to a locator identifier associated with the central cloud network. It is determined that a condition for moving the application to the fog network is satisfied based on the monitored network characteristics. An instance of the application is installed on a server in the fog network. The endpoint identifier is assigned to the application instance and mapped to a locator identifier associated with the fog network.
