System resource management in self-healing networks

Abstract:

The present disclosure provides for system resource management in self-healing networks by grouping End Point Groups (EPGs) into a plurality of policy groups based on shared security policies; identifying a first policy group with a highest resource demand; assigning a first security policy corresponding to the first policy group to a first switch of a plurality of switches; identifying a second plurality of EPGs from the remaining EPGs that were not included in the first policy group; grouping the second plurality of EPGs into a second plurality of policy groups based on shared security policies; identifying a second policy group with a highest resource demand of the second plurality of policy groups; and assigning a second security policy corresponding to the second policy group to a second switch of the plurality of switches.
