A method and apparatus for encoding data from heterogeneous sources and structuring them into a common format using bitmap techniques for integration, storage, access, and performing Boolean operations to derive new meaningful results is provided. A new control layer is added to a linear bitmap to provide data compression and management. Boolean operations are efficiently performed by first at the control bits level and will perform at the data bits only if necessary. The bitmap structures can be created independently on separate computing platforms and are operable interchangeably on different platforms, without the restricted need of using a separate database management system.

A method associated with particular embodiments comprises establishing a connection between a first node and a network composed of a plurality of nodes supporting a plurality of services. Each of the services is supported by at least one of the nodes. The method further includes receiving at a first node a frame from a second node of the plurality of nodes. The frame comprises at least two labels attached to the frame by the second node. The method also includes extracting a first label value and a second label value from the two labels. The method further includes determining that the frame was sent by the second node based on an extracted first label value and that the frame is associated with a first service based on the extracted second label value. The method additionally includes processing the frame based on both of the determinations.

A method, in accordance with particular embodiments, includes receiving a configuration message for configuring a first node with an IP address. The configuration message comprises a subnet portion associated with a group of nodes and a host portion associated with the first node. The method also includes detecting a second node in a routing table maintained by the first node. The method further includes determining that the second node has an IP address comprising a subnet portion matching the subnet portion of the IP address associated with the first node. The method additionally includes determining that the second node is a member of the group of nodes based on the matching subnet portion of the IP address of the second node. The method also includes transmitting a message to at least the second node identifying a service supported by the first node for the group of nodes.

A network controller for a network implementing a virtual network overlay determines a network gateway via which a service appliance accesses the network. The network controller determines a network gateway via which an application server accesses the network. The network controller distributes first policy data to the network gateway via which the service appliance accesses the network. This first policy data indicates a network policy such that when the policy is executed, the network gateway via which the service appliance accesses the network is configured to forward return packets addressed to a client device sent from an application server to the service appliance. The network controller distributes second policy data to the network gateway via which the application server accesses the network. This second policy data indicates a network policy such that when the policy is executed, the network gateway via which the application server accesses the network is configured to forward return packets addressed to the client device sent from the application server to the network gateway via which the service appliance accesses the network.

Presented herein are techniques for actively monitoring, at a network controller, a network location of an endpoint connected to the network based on control plane updates. The network controller is configured to archive the network location of the endpoint, along with local information for the endpoint, in an endpoint tracking database of the network controller.

Presented herein are methods for advertising an IP prefix to address the connectivity problem in multi-chassis link aggregation scenario. A peer switch will advertise two VTEP addresses. It will use a physical IP (PIP) address as a next hop (NH) for a prefix route, while continuing to use a VIP for host IP and MAC route advertisement. A new virtual MAC is introduced and it is derived from the VIP as the router MAC associated with VIP. A switch is made to use a VIP for prefix advertisement when a device detects that the same prefix is reachable both locally and from its peer. This saves adjacency entries consumed in the remote VTEPs. These techniques fix the connectivity issue for prefix routes that is exposed with current EVPN, without requiring any additional adjacency resource consumption.

A new fiber optic bundle with new features, designs and manufacturing processes, specifically related to the configurations and the special manufacturing methods of High Density Multi-fiber Bundles for fiber optic interconnection applications has been developed for 19 fibers and 37 fibers. Fiber bundles greater than 37 fibers are also included.The Bundle [A] and Bundle [B] Pigtails for multi-fiber connectors or device applications are used in pairs. The 19 or 37-fiber Bundle Pigtail Pairs are concentric to the outside diameter of a metal ferule. The individual fibers in the Pigtails are numbered according to the fiber orientation.The orientation of the fibers in Bundle [A] must be clockwise and the orientation of the fibers in Bundle [B] must be counterclockwise.For device application such as fiber optics splitters, MEMs, and optical switches, a single bundle is aligned and attached to the chip.
