    Abstract: Examples described herein provide for associating a network device to a network management system (NMS). Examples herein include determining, by a network orchestrator, a set of embeddings indicative of characteristics of the network device and each of a plurality of instances of the NMS. Examples herein include determining, by the network orchestrator for each of the plurality of instances, a probability score based on the set of embeddings, wherein the probability score is indicative of a likelihood of the network device to be associated with the instance. Examples herein further include, based on the probability score for each of the plurality of instances, selecting, by the network orchestrator, a first instance of the plurality of instances to associate with the network device. Examples herein include associating, by the network orchestrator, the network device to the first instance.

    Abstract: Dynamic path steering utilizing automatic generation of user threshold profiles is described. An example of a storage medium includes instructions for obtaining a threshold policy for a first application, the threshold policy including a set of threshold values for operational parameters; generating a migration score for a first user, the migration score based at least in part on a user score for the first user; generating a set of secondary threshold values for the first user based at least in part on the migration score and the set of threshold values; enabling operation of the first application for the first user using a first network uplink; monitoring network parameter values in operation of the first application; and upon detecting an operational parameter value exceeding a secondary threshold value, migrating operation of the first application for the first user from the first network uplink to a second network uplink.

    Abstract: Some examples relate to managing multicast group traffic. In an example, a switch anchor controller receives a request for a multicast group from an associated network switch in a multicast-capable network. The associated network switch registers to the switch anchor controller in the multicast-capable network. In response to the request, the switch anchor controller selects a non-anchor controller in the multicast-capable network to serve the multicast group to the associated network switch. The switch anchor controller provides the information related to the non-anchor controller to the associated network switch, which in response creates a specific multicast tunnel between the associated network switch and the non-anchor controller to transfer multicast traffic related to the multicast group.

    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to generation of radio frequency (RF) plans for network deployments. Examples described herein may receive an input RF plan with modified set of features of a network deployment area. A first machine learning (ML) model generates an intermediate RF plan indicating candidate AR locations based on the modified set of features and a first set of parameters. A second ML model determines a network optimization score for the intermediate RF plan. Based on the optimization score, the first set of parameters are optimized. The first ML model generates an output RF plan indicating optimized AP locations based on the optimized first set of parameters and the modified set of features.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for seamless and automatic upgrade of access points in a facility with minimal disruption, particularly, for important users of a network. The access points may be ranked, and the rankings may be aggregated to identify a sub-region of the facility with the lowest ranked access points. Various sub-sets of the access points in the identified sub-region can be updated separately so that spatial coverage by the other sub-sets maintains continuous access within the sub-region during the updates. Updates to later sub-sets and/or sub-regions can be performed contingent on the success of the earlier updates. In this way, updates can be verified on access points used by lower-priority users such as guest users of the network to avoid disruption of access to more important users such as executives or safety workers on the network.

    Abstract: A forced upgrade technique for airgapped network management system (NMS) deployments utilizes a package upgrade record. The package upgrade record includes metadata about a target major version of a software package for the NMS deployment, and is generated by an update server that is airgapped from the NMS deployment. A control server of the NMS deployment determines whether the package upgrade record has been provided to the control server. Access to a user interface of the control server is denied in response to the package upgrade record not having been provided to the control server within an upgrade check window, while access to the user interface of the control server is permitted in response to the package upgrade record having been provided to the control server. Additionally, the NMS deployment may be forced to upgrade the software package to the target major.
