    摘要: A method is provided for generating a backup route. Here, a route and a route distinguisher type associated with the route are received and a backup route is generated based on attributes of the route. A particular backup route distinguisher type that is associated with the route distinguisher type is assigned to the backup route. The backup route with the backup route distinguisher type are then advertised. Another method is provided that identifies the backup route. When the route and its route distinguisher type are received from the advertisement, an identification is made as to whether the route distinguisher type is assigned to a backup route. The route may then be designated as a backup route based on the identification.

    摘要: A novel fast reroute (FRR) technique is provided for quickly and efficiently rerouting selected types of network traffic in response to a node or link failure at the edge of a computer network. According to the technique, the network includes first and second edge devices that function as “FRR mates,” such that network traffic originally destined for one FRR mate may be quickly rerouted to the other without having to wait for conventional network convergence. When an edge device receives rerouted packets originally destined for its FRR mate, the device responds by forwarding only those rerouted packets matching the selected traffic types; rerouted packets that do not match the selected traffic types are dropped or otherwise discarded. The first and second edge devices may be statically configured as FRR mates, e.g., by a network administrator, or they may be configured to automatically detect their compatibility as FRR mates.

    摘要: A method and system for protecting valuable resources within an autonomous system network. Address prefixes within the system are designated as valuable and a flag bit is associated with the address within routing tables of routers of the network. Interfaces to border routers are identified and when packets are received at those interfaces, the packets are flagged with a flag or tag bit. The destination address of the received packet is compared to the flag bit associated with the valuable resource prefix, and if the packet is directed to that resource the packet is dropped and/or logged, but the packet is not forwarded to that resource. In specific cases an interface from an external source may be configured to not create the flag or tag bit, wherein that packet will be delivered to the destination prefix of the packet.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a trigger to add a leaf node to a multicast group of a computer network is detected, and the leaf node may determine a root node of the multicast group to request a path between a tunnel tree and the leaf node of the multicast group. In response to the multicast group having an existing tree, a reply is received from the root node with a computed path to add the leaf node to the tree at a selected node of the tree. The leaf node may then be added to the multicast group tunnel tree over the computed path at the selected node.

    摘要: A fast reroute (FRR) technique is implemented at the edge of a computer network. If an edge device detects a node or link failure that prevents it from communicating with a neighboring routing domain, the edge device reroutes at least some data packets addressed to that domain to a backup edge device which, in turn, forwards the packets to the neighboring domain. The backup edge device is not permitted to reroute the packets a second time. According to the inventive technique, the edge device first identifies a group one or more possible backup edge devices and then selects at least one preferred backup edge device from the group. The edge device makes its selection based on the values of one or more metrics associated with the possible backup edge devices. The metrics are input to a novel selection algorithm that selects the preferred backup edge device(s) using a hierarchical selection process or a weighted-metric selection process, or some combination thereof.

    摘要: A technique incorporates an efficient means for avoiding micro-loops on a backup path associated with a failed protected link. An intermediate node delays updating a forwarding database (FDB) contained in the intermediate node based on the intermediate node's distance from the failed link. Specifically, intermediate nodes near the failed protected link delay updating their FDBs for a longer period of time than nodes farther away from the failed link. By updating FDBs in this manner, micro-loops may be avoided on the failed link's backup path as nodes on the backup path that are close to the failed link do not update their FDBs ahead of nodes farther away on the backup path.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are disclosed for establishing adjacencies on a network, the method comprising, at a first node of the network, sending hello packets on the network and receiving hello packets from other nodes on the network on the basis of the received hello packets. The node then sends a link-state packet without adjacency information and without an overload bit set. The node then interrogates a link-state adjacency table and, when only one adjacency is listed in the link-state table, sends a further link-state packet with the adjacency information and the overload bit set. On convergence of a forward cache, the node sends a further link-state packet with adjacency information and without the overload bit set.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a node identifies a plurality of equal cost best paths to a destination, the best paths having one or more associated links. The node receives dynamic link utilization information for the associated links, and determines an amount of traffic to the destination to forward over each of the equal cost best paths, the amount being dynamically dependent upon the dynamic link utilization of the associated links for each equal cost best path.
