Data replication and access in subnetworks

The patent US12015666B2 describes a device designed for use within a subnetwork, which includes memory circuitry and one or more processors. The device is configured to obtain a specific portion of a data set from a central repository, which is dynamically assigned to the subnetwork. This data set contains attributes related to nodes within the subnetwork, and the device replicates this data in a local repository. In scenarios where the central repository is deemed unavailable—based on predefined network policies—the device can intercept data requests from nodes within the subnetwork. Instead of forwarding these requests to the central repository, the device accesses the requested data from its local repository and provides it directly to the requesting node.

Additionally, the patent outlines various functionalities of the device, including the ability to handle public keys and node attributes, and the option for the device to act as a gateway. The device can also receive updates to the data set from the central repository, which may be initiated by the repository itself. Furthermore, it can generate digital signatures based on the requested data using a private key associated with the central repository. The claims emphasize the device's capability to provide requested data efficiently, either by delivering the obtained portion of the data set or by generating new data based on it, ensuring continuity of service even when the central repository is not accessible.
