There is disclosed a distributed platform that includes a plurality of nodes for controlling a data flow. According to this distribution platform, at least one of the plurality of nodes supports multiple instances. Also according to this platform, there is provided means for distributing classification rules for any given instance between nodes sharing the instance.
摘要:
In an implementation, a packet is received from a network device. A group identifier is retrieved from the received packet. A plurality of layer-2 switch identifiers that are associated with the retrieved group identifier is determined. A switch identifier is selected from the plurality of layer-2 switch identifiers. The received packet is forwarded to a layer-2 switch identified by the selected switch identifier.
摘要:
A system and method is directed to synchronizing a standby route distributor in a distributed routing platform. A route distributor is configured to operate as an active route distributor. Another route distributor is configured to operate as a standby route distributor. The standby and active route distributor may reside in the same or a different distributed routing platform. A slave route distributor communicates a route to the active route distributor. The active route distributor may update its routing tables with the route. The active route distributor forwards the route to the standby route distributor to enable their routing tables to be substantially synchronized. The standby route distributor distributes the route to the slave route distributors, where the route enables an update to another routing table. In the event of a switchover, the standby route distributor resynchronizes its routing tables and may distribute route information to each slave route distributor.
