摘要： In one embodiment, when a frame is directed to one or more customer instance ports (CIPs) of a switch having received the frame, the frame (a “local frame”) may be forwarded on the one or more CIPs based on only a customer space (C-space) lookup operation. Also, if the frame is not directed to any CIPs of the switch, the frame (a “transient frame”) may be forwarded on at least one or more provider backbone ports (PBPs) of the switch based on only a backbone space (B-space) lookup operation. For example, a unicast frame may be forwarded based on whether the frame terminates at the switch having received the frame (to a CIP of the switch), while a multicast frame may be forwarded based on determining whether an instance service identifier (I-SID) of the frame maps to a local VLAN ID (L-VID) at the switch (to any CIPs servicing that L-VID).

摘要： A method and apparatus for establishing multicast and unicast forwarding are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes transmitting path messages to a plurality of receivers, receiving a plurality of messages in response to the path messages and establishing unicast and multicast forwarding based on received unicast and multicast labels. Each of the receivers is associated with a sub-LSP (Label Switched Path) in a Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP) LSP and the response messages include a multicast label and at least one unicast label corresponding to a unicast path to one of the receivers.

摘要： A network device has a network interface to allow the device to send and receive traffic across a network. The device also has a cable connection to allow the device to exchange data with at least one cable modem and a processor to associate a cable interface and cable service identifier with a cable modem; receive a packet from the cable modem; and insert a layer 2 network identifier, the identifier comprising two service provider VLAN (SP-VLAN) tags, into the packet. The processor in the network device identifies a virtual trunk interface based on the outer SP-VLAN tag and identifies the virtual private network based on the inner SP-VLAN tag.

摘要： In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, by a first autonomous system border router (ASBR) of a first autonomous system (AS), a first plurality of provider-provisioned media access control (B-MAC) addresses via Interior Border Gateway Protocol (I-BGP). Each of first plurality of B-MAC addresses is associated with a provider edge (PE) device of the first AS. The first ASBR sends the first plurality of B-MAC addresses to a second ASBR of a second AS using Exterior Border Gateway Protocol (E-BGP). The first ASBR also receives via E-BGP a second plurality of B-MAC addresses each of which is associated with a PE device of the second AS. The first ASBR then distributes the second plurality of B-MAC addresses to each of the PE devices of the first AS using I-BGP.

摘要： A provider edge (PE) node of a network operates to send a trace path message over the network to a receiver PE node, the trace path message recording a list of intermediate nodes of a unicast path from the PE node to the receiver PE node; and receive a join message initiated from the receiver PE node, the join message using the list to propagate to the source PE node through the intermediate nodes such that a branch of a multicast tree is aligned with the unicast path. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. 37 CFR 1.72(b).
