    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a method is performed by a software defined wide area network (SD-WAN) edge router in a hierarchical SD-WAN network comprising a plurality of edge routers and a plurality of border routers. The method comprises: originating a SD-WAN system route for advertising reachability to the edge router, the system route comprising an encryption key associated with the edge router; and transmitting the system route to one or more SD-WAN border routers. The method may further comprise: receiving a packet destined for the edge router from one of the one or more SD-WAN border routers, wherein the packet is at least partially encrypted with the encryption key associated with the edge router; and decrypting the received packet.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method by an edge router configured to operate at a first site of a software-defined wide-area network includes receiving a data packet from a first host located in the first site, where the data packet is destined to a second host located in a second site, determining that an identifier of a second group to which the second host belongs is not available at the edge router, sending a request for an identifier of the second group to a network apparatus, where the request may comprise an address of the second host, receiving a response comprising the identifier of the second group from the network apparatus, determining that the second group is a destination group, applying one or more policies associated with the destination group to the data packet, and causing the data packet to be routed to the second host.

    Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for synchronizing DHCP snoop information. In some examples, a method can include, performing, by a first PE device from a plurality of PE devices, DHCP snooping of a first plurality of DHCP messages between a DHCP client and a DHCP server, wherein the plurality of PE devices is part of an ethernet segment for multihoming the DHCP client. In some aspects, the method includes determining, based on snooping the first plurality of DHCP messages, an association between an IP address corresponding to the DHCP client and a MAC address corresponding to the DHCP client. In some examples, the method includes sending, by the first PE device to at least one other PE device from the plurality of PE devices, a first route advertisement that includes the association between the IP address corresponding to the DHCP client and the MAC address corresponding to the DHCP client.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a data packet from a first host located in the first site, where the data packet may be destined to a second host located in a second site that may be different from the first site, determining that an identifier of a second group to which the second host belongs is not available at the first network apparatus, sending a request for an identifier of the second group to a second network apparatus, where the request may comprise an address of the second host, receiving a response comprising the identifier of the second group from the second network apparatus, determining that the second group is a destination group, applying one or more policies associated with the destination group to the data packet, and causing the data packet to be routed to the second host.

    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a software defined wide area network (SD-WAN) includes a first region and a second region. The first region includes multiple first routing controllers and multiple first SD-WAN edge routers. The second region includes multiple second routing controllers and multiple second SD-WAN edge routers. Each first SD-WAN edge router of the first region is configured to establish Overlay Management Protocol (OMP) peering connections with the plurality of first routing controllers of the first region but to avoid establishing OMP peering connections with the plurality of second routing controllers of the second region. Each second SD-WAN edge router of the second region is configured to establish OMP peering connections with the plurality of second routing controllers of the second region but to avoid establishing OMP peering connections with the plurality of first routing controllers of the first region.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes methods of operating a leaf node device, such as a switch device, connected to a switch fabric of a network. The leaf node device receives, from another leaf node device via the switch fabric, an indication of a secure route to a host device. In response to receiving the indication of the secure route, the leaf node device creates or updates a routing entry for the host device in a routing information base of the leaf node device and creates or updates an entry for the host device in a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) snoop database of the leaf node device. The leaf node may thereby communicate with the host device that is attached to the leaf node device as a result of moving from the other leaf node device.
