Abstract:
Some embodiments provide a method for a first data compute node (DCN) operating in a public datacenter. The method receives an encryption rule from a centralized network controller. The method determines that the network encryption rule requires encryption of packets between second and third DCNs operating in the public datacenter. The method requests a first key from a secure key storage. Upon receipt of the first key, the method uses the first key and additional parameters to generate second and third keys. The method distributes the second key to the second DCN and the third key to the third DCN in the public datacenter.

International Classification:
H04L 12/721
H04L 12/931
Abstract:
The disclosure provides an approach for decentralizing control plane operations in a network environment that includes transport nodes configured to implement a logical overlay network. A method includes transmitting a global list of transport nodes to each of the plurality of transport nodes from a management plane, the global list including an ordered list of the plurality of transport nodes. The method also includes transmitting a neighbor index value to each of the plurality of transport nodes, where the transport nodes each compute a corresponding list of neighbor transport nodes based on the neighbor index value and the global list of transport nodes. The method also includes, based on determining an update to a state of the logical overlay network has occurred by a first transport node, transmitting an update message from the first transport node to each transport node in the first transport node's list of neighbor transport nodes.

H04L 12/947
H04L 12/713
H04L 29/08
G06F 9/455
H04L 12/24
Abstract:
A system provisions global logical entities that facilitate the operation of logical networks that span two or more datacenters. These global logical entities include global logical switches that provide L2 switching as well as global routers that provide L3 routing among network nodes in multiple datacenters. The global logical entities operate along side local logical entities that are for operating logical networks that are local within a datacenter.

International Classification:
H04L 29/06
H04L 12/66
Abstract:
A system and method for managing a trusted connection within a public cloud comprises transmitting a first token and a second token from a cloud service manager to a public cloud controller, initializing a public cloud manager in response to receipt of the first token and the second token, and generate a cloud certificate, and transmitting the cloud certificate and the second token from the public cloud manager to a management plane. The method further comprises establishing a trusted connection between the public cloud controller and the management plane in response to receipt of the cloud certificate and the second token by the management plane.

Assignee:
Nicira, Inc. - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
H04L 29/06
G06F 9/455
Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to deploying a proxy control plane and/or north-south data plane in a control virtual private cloud of a logical network implemented on a software-defined datacenter. The control virtual private cloud is shared by a plurality of compute virtual private clouds of the network. In some embodiments, a proxy control plane is deployed on the control virtual private cloud and disseminates policies directly to endpoints of the logical network. In some embodiments, a north-south data plane is deployed on the control virtual private cloud and directly manages north-south network traffic from endpoints of the logical network. In some embodiments, a proxy control plane and a north-south network data plane are deployed on the control virtual private cloud.

Logical Port Authentication For Virtual Machines

US Patent:
20180181417, Jun 28, 2018
Filed:
Dec 22, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/387828
Inventors:
- Palo Alto CA, US
Akshay Katrekar - Mountain View CA, US
International Classification:
G06F 9/455
Abstract:
A computer system authenticates a logical port for a virtual machine. A logical network maintains logical network data for a logical switch having the logical port. A virtual switch identifies a logical port authentication request for the virtual machine and transfers the logical port authentication request. A logical port authenticator receives the logical port authentication request and transfers the logical port authentication request for delivery to an authentication database. The logical port authenticator receives a logical port authentication response transferred by the authentication database that grants the logical port authentication request for the virtual machine and transfers authorization data for the logical port. The virtual switch transfers user data for the virtual machine when the virtual machine uses the logical port responsive to the authorization data.
