摘要： Systems, methods, apparatus and computer-readable medium are described for improving efficiency and robustness for processing network packets at a network device, such as a customer premises equipment (CPE). The network device may include a plurality of physical network interfaces for receiving and transmitting network packets, and one or more processing entities. The one or more processing entities may provide a first router for providing routing functionality, wherein the first router is not virtualized, enable a virtual machine to execute a second router for providing routing functionality and forward a network packet using the first router or the second router from the device. The one or more processors may be configured to execute instructions associated with the first router from user space.

摘要： A distributed multilayered network routing architecture comprises multiple layers including a controller layer comprising a controller, a control plane layer comprising one or more control plane subsystems, and a data plane layer comprising one or more data plane subsystems. A controller may be coupled to one or more control plane subsystems. A control plane subsystem may in turn be coupled to one or more data plane subsystems, which may include one or more software data plane subsystems and/or hardware data plane subsystems. In certain embodiments, the locations of the various subsystems of a distributed router can be distributed among various devices in the network.
