Localized connectivity management for isolation networks
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- establishing, by a networking device in a local area network (LAN), a virtual network overlay in the LAN to redirect traffic associated with a particular node in the LAN to a server for analysis;
receiving, at the networking device, an indication from the server that at least a portion of the traffic associated with the particular node is trusted for local sending within the LAN;
adjusting, by the networking device, the virtual network overlay to locally send the trusted portion of the traffic associated with the particular node to one or more other nodes in the LAN without redirection to the server;
collecting, by the networking device, characteristic information regarding the trusted portion of the traffic sent locally within the LAN via the adjusted virtual network overlay;
sending, by the networking device, the collected characteristic information to the server for analysis.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a networking device in a local area network (LAN) establishes a virtual network overlay in the LAN to redirect traffic associated with a particular node in the LAN to a server for analysis. The networking device receives an indication from the server that at least a portion of the traffic associated with the particular node is trusted for local sending within the LAN and adjusts the virtual network overlay to locally send the trusted portion of the traffic associated with the particular node to one or more other nodes in the LAN without redirection to the server. The networking device collects characteristic information regarding the trusted portion of the traffic sent locally within the LAN via the adjusted virtual network overlay and sends the collected characteristic information to the server for analysis.

10. An apparatus comprising:
-
one or more network interfaces to communicate with a local area network (LAN); a processor coupled to the network interfaces and configured to execute one or more processes; and a memory configured to store a process executable by the processor, the process when executed configured to; establish a virtual network overlay in the LAN to redirect traffic associated with a particular node in the LAN to a server for analysis; receive an indication from the server that at least a portion of the traffic associated with the particular node is trusted for local sending within the LAN; adjust the virtual network overlay to locally send the trusted portion of the traffic associated with the particular node to one or more other nodes in the LAN without redirection to the server; collect characteristic information regarding the trusted portion of the traffic sent locally within the LAN via the adjusted virtual network overlay; send the collected characteristic information to the server for analysis. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing program instructions that, when executed by a networking device in a local area network (LAN) to perform a process comprising:
-
establishing, by the networking device, a virtual network overlay in the LAN to redirect traffic associated with a particular node in the LAN to a server for analysis; receiving, at the networking device, an indication from the server that at least a portion of the traffic associated with the particular node is trusted for local sending within the LAN; adjusting, by the networking device, the virtual network overlay to locally send the trusted portion of the traffic associated with the particular node to one or more other nodes in the LAN without redirection to the server; collecting, by the networking device, characteristic information regarding the trusted portion of the traffic sent locally within the LAN via the adjusted virtual network overlay; sending, by the networking device, the collected characteristic information to the server for analysis. - View Dependent Claims (20)
