A device configured to or programmed to instantiate an isolated sub-fabric is presented. A network configuration device uses a virtual air gap policy to instantiate a sub-fabric from a fabric of networking nodes. The sub-fabric is configured with an internal routing policy that respects the nature of the defined isolation. Further, the fabric is provisioned with a virtual air gap that ensures the external networking nodes respect the isolation of the sub fabric.

Fabric-based virtual air gap provisioning, system and methods

Dynamic packet routing based on fabric awareness information is presented. Networking nodes in a networking fabric observe environmental properties across the fabric. When differences in environment properties between portions of the fabric are detected, differences in power consumption costs for example, the fabric generates corresponding routing tables. The networking nodes can then route traffic in a manner that is sensitive to the environment properties, power consumption or the cost of power for example.

Dynamic packet routing

Networks comprising multiple non-overlapping communication topologies are presented. The networks can include a fabric of interconnected network nodes capable of providing multiple communication paths among edge devices. A topology manager constructs communication topologies according to restriction criteria based on required security levels (e.g., top secret, secret, unclassified, etc.). Established topologies do not have overlapping networking infrastructure to within the bounds of the restriction criteria as allowed by the security levels.

Non-overlapping secured topologies in a distributed network fabric

A first fabric abstraction layer couples to a data link layer and a physical layer of a network fabric device. The network fabric device is connected to other network elements within a network via at least one network connection, such as a fiber optic connection. A second fabric abstraction layer couples to the data link layer and an application of the network device. The second fabric abstraction layer provides an application programming interface (API) to the application. The API allows the application to generate configuration instructions for configuring the at least one network connection. Upon receiving the configuration instructions generated by the application, the second abstraction layer sends the configuration instructions to the first abstraction layer via the data link layer. The first abstraction layer then configures the at least one network connection to transmit data according to the configuration instructions.

Software-based fabric enablement

A hybrid-fabric apparatus comprises a black box memory configured to store a plurality of behavior metrics and an anomaly agent coupled to the black box. The anomaly agent determines a baseline vector corresponding to nominal behavior of the fabric, wherein the baseline vector comprises at least two different behavior metrics that are correlated with each other. The anomaly agent disaggregates anomaly detection criteria into a plurality of anomaly criterion to be distributed among network nodes in the fabric, the anomaly detection criteria characterizing a variation from the baseline vector, and each of the plurality of anomaly criterion comprising a function of a measured vector of behavior metrics. The variation can be calculated based on a variation function applied to a vector of measured behavior metrics having elements corresponding to member elements of the baseline vector. Anomaly criterion statuses calculated by at least some of the network nodes are aggregated.
