Abstract:
In one embodiment, a first routing device establishes a virtual channel with a remote routing device in a G.8032 protocol Ethernet network ring. The first routing device and the remote routing device each being linked to a multi-homed routing device having Layer 2 connectivity to a core network. The multi-homed routing device is not configured with the G.8032 protocol. The first routing device identifies a link state from the first routing device to the multi-homed routing device. Layer 2 connectivity of the first routing device to the core network is controlled based upon the identified link state of the first routing device.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, one or more point-to-point (P2P) services are established between attachment circuits on provider edge (PE) devices in a computer network, and each of the one or more P2P services (e.g., Virtual Private Wire Service, VPWS) are associated with an Ethernet virtual private network (E-VPN) Ethernet Auto-Discovery (A-D) route, where links between the PE devices and customer edge (CE) devices are configured as Ethernet interfaces with Ethernet tagging. As such, the Ethernet A-D route may then be exchanged for each P2P service attachment circuit, and forwarding can be performed on the one or more P2P services without performing a media access control (MAC) address lookup and without performing MAC learning.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method includes obtaining a first indication from a first source included in an Ethernet ring and obtaining a second indication from a second source associated with a provider edge (PE) node The method also includes determining when the first indication and the second indication are indicative of a direct failure of the PE node and determining when the first indication and the second indication are indicative of a ring partition failure associated with the Ethernet ring. The direct failure of the PE node is identified when it is determined that the first indication and the second indication are indicative of the direct failure of the PE node, and the ring partition failure associated with the Ethernet ring is identified when it is determined that the first indication and the second indication are indicative of the ring partition failure associated with the Ethernet ring.
Abstract:
One embodiment is a source router that monitors the performance of an Ethernet network. The source router generates an Ethernet connectivity check request frame that includes a transmission timestamp, and transmits the Ethernet connectivity check request frame to a destination router. The source router receives a reply from the destination router that is transmitted in response to receiving the Ethernet connectivity check request frame and determines a round trip time between the source router and the destination router based on a time of receipt of the reply and the transmission timestamp.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for identifying a spanning tree loop in a network environment. Spanning tree loop indicators occurring in a network environment that utilizes a spanning tree protocol are identified. The spanning tree loop indicators are correlated to identify correlated spanning tree loop indicators within the network environment. A potential spanning tree loop is recognized from a plurality of the correlated spanning tree loop indicators based on indicator types of the correlated spanning tree loop indicators. The potential spanning tree loop is remedied in the network environment in response to recognizing the potential spanning tree loop in the network environment.
Abstract:
An example method for facilitating conflict avoidant traffic routing in a network environment is provided and includes detecting, at a network element, an intent conflict at a peer network element in a network, and changing a forwarding decision at the network element to steer traffic around the conflicted peer network element. The intent conflict refers to an incompatibility between an asserted intent associated with the traffic and an implemented intent associated with the traffic. In specific embodiments, the detecting includes mounting rules from the peer network element into the network element, and analyzing the mounted rules to determine intent conflict. In some embodiments, a central controller in the network deploys one or more intentlets on a plurality of network elements in the network according to corresponding intent deployment parameters.
