According to examples, a system for enabling user authentication may include a processor and a memory storing instructions. The processor, when executing the instructions, may cause the system to receive user login credentials and initiate a user authentication process by receiving a challenge configured using an attribute of a system including the processor. The processor executes further instructions to determine the attribute value and to derive a zero-knowledge proof in response to the challenge. The zero-knowledge proof is provided to the challenge issuer to access services of one or more applications.

A datacenter cabling issue addressing system includes computing devices interconnected by cabling subsystems. Cabling locator devices are associated with each of the cabling subsystems. A cabling management system receives cabling issue identification information through a network that identifies a cabling issue with a first cabling subsystem. A cabling issue location of the first cabling subsystem is determined using the cabling issue identification information and a first cabling locator device location received through the network from a first cabling locator device that is associated with the first cabling subsystem. A current location is received through the network from each of the cabling servicing devices and, in response, a first cabling servicing device is determined to include a current location that is closest to the cabling issue location. The cabling issue location of the first cabling subsystem is then provided through the network for display on the first cabling servicing device.

Embodiments of the present invention include systems and methods for detecting status of network elements, such as, applications, information handling systems, links, and the like, in a network. In embodiments, a system for detecting status of network elements in a network includes an agent that monitors status of one or more network elements related to a first information handling systems and sends a status notice to a status controller. In embodiments, the status controller receives status information from a number of status agents operating on other information handling systems in the network and uses that information to generate one or more reachability graphs. In embodiments, the status controller sends at least part of a reachability graph to one or more of the status agents in the network. In embodiments, an application on an information handling systems may query the local status agent to obtain status information regarding a network element.

A programmable data plane hardware load balancing system includes a plurality of server devices and an edge networking device that is located on an edge of a local area network. The edge networking device includes programmable data plane hardware that integrates each of at least one communications port, a server device table, and a load balancing engine. The at least one communications port is coupled to the plurality of server devices. The server device table includes health information about the plurality of server devices. The load balancing engine is configured to receive traffic directed to the plurality of server devices through the at least one communication port, and has been programmed to forward the traffic to one of the plurality of server devices in response to performing health based load balancing on the traffic using the health information about the plurality of server devices in the server device table.

A multiple persistent load balancer system includes a routing sub-network having a plurality of routing sub-network nodes that are coupled to a plurality of load balancer devices. A controller provides a common routing algorithm and a destination distribution list to each of the routing sub-network nodes and the load balancer devices. A first persistent load balancer device receives a first data flow from at least one of the routing sub-network nodes, and uses the common routing algorithm and the destination distribution list to determine whether the first data flow should be redirected to a second persistent load balancer device. If not, the first persistent load balancer device processes the first data flow to retrieve a resource from a server. If so, the first persistent load balancer device forwards the first data flow through at least one of the sub-network nodes to the second persistent load balancer device.

A peer-to-peer wireless controller topology provisioning system includes plurality of networking devices. A plurality of peer-to-peer wireless controllers are included in each networking device and are each configured to control a portion of a single wireless link with another peer-to-peer wireless controller. A management subsystem determines relative locations for each of the networking devices, and a number of peer-to-peer wireless controllers available in each of the networking devices. The management subsystem then uses a maximum hop constraint and a minimum bandwidth constraint to generate a peer-to-peer wireless controller topology for at least some of the peer-to-peer wireless controllers that are available in the networking devices. The management subsystem then provides the peer-to-peer wireless controller topology to each of the networking devices to cause each of the networking devices to configure their available peer-to-peer wireless controllers to provide wireless links according to the peer-to-peer wireless controller topology.

In an embodiment, a method comprises: detecting a change in a multiple-switch configuration in a data communications network comprising a plurality of packet data switches configured as roots of multicast trees. In response to detecting that the multiple-switch configuration has changed, a first value, a second value and a third value representing limits on a number of multicast trees supported in the network and prioritization of the switches are retrieved. The method further comprises determining a type of the multiple-switch configuration change. In response to determining that the type indicates that a first switch was added to the multiple-switch configuration, using at least the first, second and third values, it is determined whether to configure the first switch as a first root in the multiple-switch configuration. The method is performed by one or more computing devices.

Embodiments herein achieve proxy FHRP for anycast routing services through the coordination of L2MP edge switches to allow load balancing for the use of routing services. Such embodiments may avoid duplicity and coordinate control planes between the edge switches to present a proxy interface to the rest of the network for the routing services. As such, multipathing and load-balancing for efficient use of crucial services may be provided for client nodes inside the network.
