    Abstract: A network device may receive policy data identifying a first segment routing (SR) policy and a second SR policy. The first SR policy may be associated with a first path through a network and a first next hop, and the second SR policy may be associated with a second path through the network and a second next hop. The network device may advertise, to another device, reachability associated with the first next hop and the second next hop, and may receive, from the other device, a packet with a header. The network device may determine, from the header, data identifying the first next hop or the second next hop, without performing a lookup, and may cause the packet to be routed to a destination address, via the first path or the second path, based on the policy data associated with the first next hop or the second next hop.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for providing end-to-end segment routing paths across metropolitan area networks. For example, a method comprises receiving, by an area border router (ABR) connected to one or more metropolitan area networks and a core network, a packet including a segment routing label stack including at least a label of the ABR, a context label associated with a routing instance of the ABR, and a subsequent label identifying a device in the segment routing path, determining, from a lookup of the context label in the metro routing table, a table next hop to the core routing table (or metro routing table); in response to determining the table next hop, determining, from a lookup of the subsequent label in the core routing table (or metro routing table), a next hop in the segment routing path; and sending, by the ABR, the packet toward the device in the segment routing path.

    Abstract: A routing device coupled to a remote routing device via a link on which a flood reduction technique is used, such as a demand circuit, is configured to store an indication of a link state of the remote routing device and a first sequence number associated with the link state, receive an indication that the remote routing device is performing a graceful restart, and then receive data indicative of a new link state of the remote routing device and a second sequence number. The routing device determines whether the new link state is different than the stored indication of the link state, and if not, avoids requesting the current link state from the remote routing device. In this manner, the routing device may reduce link-state protocol traffic within an autonomous system including the routing device and the remote routing device.

    Abstract: In one example, a method includes by a first network device positioned on a border of a first area of a multi-area hierarchical network and a second area of the multi-area hierarchical network, determining a cost associated with sending network traffic from a client group to the first network device, wherein the client group is positioned in the first area, the first area and the second area being distinct routing domains of the multi-area hierarchical network; and outputting, by the first network device to a second network device positioned in the second area, a routing advertisement that specifies the determined cost as a reverse metric. In some examples, a route reflector receives the routing advertisement and based on the cost from the client group to the area border network device, selects an egress point from among a plurality of egress points of the multi-area hierarchical network.

    Abstract: In general, techniques are described for managing routing information in a hub-and-spoke network in a manner that reduces flooding of link information. A hub router of the hub-and-spoke network including a memory and a processor may perform the techniques. The memory may be configured to store a representation of a topology of the hub-and-spoke network. The processor may be configured to utilize a separate instance of a multi-instance version of a link state protocol to communicate with each of a plurality of spoke routers of the hub-and-spoke network. Each separate instance of the multi-instance version of the link state protocol may include the hub router and a different one of the plurality of spoke routers. The processor may process link state advertisements from the separate instances of the multi-instance version of the link state protocol to maintain the representation of the topology of the hub-and-spoke network.
