摘要:
A network processing device is configured to receive a configuration message from a host device and forward the configuration message to a server. The configuration message can be configured to request the server assign an Internet Protocol (IP) address to the host device. The network processing device can be configured to send at least one probe message to the host device responsive to receiving the configuration message. The network processing device can be configured to determine whether the host device intends to continue utilizing a previously assigned IP address in addition to the IP address requested by the configuration message based, at least in part, on any responses to the at least one probe message received from the host device.

Techniques are provided herein for receiving synchronization messages at a second network device that is in a hot standby configuration from a first network device that is maintaining Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) state machines for one or more neighbor devices. The synchronization messages are configured to indicate an IPv6 state for each state machine maintained in the first network device. An IPv6 state for corresponding state machines is updated in the second network device based on the synchronization messages such that the IPv6 states in the second network device allows the second network device to actively process IPv6 traffic for the one or more neighbor devices upon traffic switchover from the first network device to the second network device without restarting the corresponding IPv6 state machine associated with each of the one or more neighbor devices in the second network device. The roles of the first and second device with respect to active and standby state are reversed after a switchover.

A method is provided in one example and includes determining that an access concentrator has lost customer premise equipment information. The method also includes obtaining the customer premise equipment information that is lost by evaluating Neighbor Discovery data and dynamic host configuration protocol version six (DHCPv6) query data. In more specific implementations, the method may include communicating a Bulk Leasequery message; receiving a response to the Bulk Leasequery message; and filtering out cable modem identifiers from the response to the Bulk Leasequery message.

A network device is to receive traffic including neighbor discovery messages from requesting customer devices, and can detect the neighbor discovery messages within the traffic according to a distributed inspection scheme that includes the network device and a remote component. The network device is to then examine the neighbor discovery messages to determine if the neighbor discovery message should be forwarded to other of the customer devices, and respond to the requesting customer devices.

摘要:
A system includes a forwarding engine to schedule when replicas of a received multicast packet are forwarded towards one or more multicast recipients. The system also includes an egress interface device to replicate the multicast packet and forward the multicast packet replica towards the one or more multicast recipients when prompted by the forwarding engine based on the scheduling.
