Presented herein are techniques for adding a secure control layer to a distributed communication fabric that supports publish-subscribe (pub-sub) and direct query (synchronization) communication. The secure control layer is configured to perform policy-based authentication techniques to securely manage the exchange of data/information within the communication fabric and enable registration/discovery of new capabilities.

Policy-based control layer in a communication fabric

Presented herein are object filtering techniques that optimize the communication of information over an infrastructure that supports publish-subscribe (pub-sub) and direct query (synchronization) communication. In the object filtering techniques, a single information publisher can share that information in an associated object graph with many different consumers over the infrastructure without sharing the entire object graph.

Object filtering in a computing network

A computer-based system is configured for aggregating multiple router configurations into a single router configuration, enabling transfer of functionality from routers configured according to the respective router configurations to a single router having the single router configuration. The system includes a configuration determination resource configured for determining the router configurations from the multiple routers, and a device analyzer resource configured for determining for each router configuration a corresponding candidate configuration to be utilized in the single router configuration. Any conflict detected between the router configuration and the corresponding candidate configuration is managed by a conflict resolution resource, which determines the availability of a resolved configuration in the single router configuration to replace the corresponding router configuration. An router configuration aggregation resource is configured for generating the single router configuration based on the determined candidate configurations and resolved configurations.
