    Abstract: A network device in a network may determine a tentative network address for a network interface of the network device and may determine whether the tentative network address is duplicative of any one of the network addresses in the network. If the tentative network address is duplicative of a network address assigned to another network interface in the network, the network device may store an indication of the other network interface. In response to receiving an indication that a new network address is assigned to the other network interface, the network device may re-determine whether the tentative network address is duplicative of any one of the network addresses in the network. If the network device determines that the tentative network address is not duplicative of any one of the plurality of network addresses in the network, the network device may assign the tentative network address to the network interface.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for redirecting network traffic of virtualized application workload to a host-based firewall. For example, a system comprises a software defined networking (SDN) controller of a multi-tenant virtualized data center configured to: receive a security policy expressed as one or more tags to redirect traffic of a virtualized application workload to a host-based firewall (HBF) of the multi-tenant virtualized data center; configure network connectivity to the HBF in accordance with the security policy; a security controller that manages the HBF configured to: obtain the one or more tags from the SDN controller; receive one or more firewall policies expressed in terms of the one or more tags, wherein each of the one or more firewall policies specifies a function of the HBF; and configure the function of the HBF in accordance with the one or more firewall policies.

    Abstract: In general, this disclosure describes techniques for a containerized router operating within a cloud native orchestration framework. In an example, a computing device comprises a containerized routing protocol process executing on processing circuitry of the computing device and configured to receive routing information; a containerized set of workloads; a data plane development kit (DPDK)-based virtual router executing on the processing circuitry and configured to forward traffic to and from the workloads based on the routing information from the containerized routing protocol; and a virtual router agent for the virtual router, the virtual router agent executing on the processing circuitry and configured to expose a generic data plane interface.
