Systems and methods include receiving data associated with monitoring network communication traffic associated with a plurality of network devices; analyzing network communication flows of the plurality of network devices to group similar network devices together; analyzing patterns, frequency, relevance, and origination of words in the network communication traffic to auto-label the plurality of network devices; and assigning one or more words to any of a given network device and a group of similar network devices.

Network device identification via similarity of operation and auto-labeling

Briefly, embodiments described herein include those for managing a network comprising a plurality of logical broadcast domains, wherein the network may be overlaid on another network.

Managing a network overlaid on another network

Briefly, methods and/or apparatuses of virtual deployment of network-related features are disclosed.

Deployment of network-related features over cloud network

Briefly, methods and/or apparatuses are described for network management via a graphical user interface (GUI).

Management of a network via a GUI of user relationships

Briefly, embodiments, such as methods and/or systems for network device identification, for example, are described.

Network device identification

Communications between broadcast domains are described. In an embodiment, a broadcast domain configuration of one broadcast domain is generated and transmitted for receipt by a device in another broadcast domain.

Transmitting broadcast domain configurations

This relates to connecting a network of logical broadcast domains to the Internet. In an embodiment, selected signal packets are transmitted between two logical broadcast domains via a tunnel server. Outbound signal packets are communicated to the Internet via network address translation as to the outbound signal packets which are different than the selected signal packets.

Connecting a cloud network to the internet

Briefly, methods and/or apparatuses of overlaying a secure, connected, flexible networking structure, such as on cloud infrastructure, are described.

Private networks overlaid on cloud infrastructure

Briefly, methods and apparatuses are described that link two or more logical broadcast domains.

Linking logical broadcast domains

Briefly, methods and/or apparatuses for implicit traffic engineering, such as for the Internet, are described.
