    Abstract: A system for efficiently determining a set of next-hop switches from a switch is provided. During operation, the system can determine the plurality of next-hop switches for an Internet Protocol (IP) address prefix. The system can then store, in an entry of a forwarding data structure of the switch, a list of identifying information indicating the plurality of next-hop switches corresponding to the IP address prefix. The identifying information for the plurality of next-hop switches can be stored in the list in an order of preference for forwarding traffic matching the IP address prefix. Upon receiving a packet with a destination IP address matching the IP address prefix, the system can select the entry from the forwarding data structure for determining a next-hop switch for forwarding the packet. The system can then determine the next-hop switch for the packet from the entry based on the order of preference.

    Abstract: A system for layer-2 path tracing is provided. During operation, the system can send, from an originating device, a layer-2 trace packet with a packet type in a layer-2 header of the layer-2 trace packet. The packet type can indicate the trace packet to be a tracing packet. The system can then receive a layer-2 response packet from a respective participating device, which supports layer-2 path tracing, on a path to a target device of the trace packet. Subsequently, the system can obtain, from a payload of the response packet, trace information of a forward path to the participating device traversed by the trace packet and a reverse path from the participating device traversed by the response packet. The trace information can identify one or more layer-2 devices along the forward and reverse paths, and include one or more layer-2 identifiers corresponding to the identified one or more layer-2 devices.

    Abstract: Methods and systems configured for fast failover in ISP peering are disclosed herein. One method comprises: establishing a fault detection protocol session between a first router and a second router, the first and second routers being computing network peers; the first router responding to a data communication connection between the first router and a first provider edge router going down by altering a status of the fault detection protocol session to a changed status; and the second router responding to the changed status of the fault detection protocol session by rerouting traffic served by the first provider edge router to a second provider edge router.
