Heterogenous network device extension and standardization with device instrumentation

Abstract

Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media for extending and standardizing heterogeneous network devices using instrumentation. A method includes: receiving, by a client device using a first network interface, instrumentation bytecode to supplement with a data link layer from a management device, wherein a verifier of the client device verifies that the instructions of the bytecode are constrained for security based on a plurality of rules; in response to detecting a trigger at the client device, executing the instrumentation bytecode at the client device to perform at least one function associated with the trigger; and sending a response from the client device based on an execution result of the instrumentation bytecode.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
