    摘要: Various systems and methods are disclosed for providing support for responding to location protocol queries within a network node. One such method involves associating a location with a network identity by associating a network port with a network identity and also associating the network port with the location. The association between the network port and the network identity is created in response to a network identity, which can include an IP address, being assigned to a device coupled to the network port by an identity protocol such as DHCP. The packet is sent in response to detecting a request for the device's location. The method can be performed by various devices, including a first hop node coupled to the device, a location server, and an identity server.

    摘要: Various systems and methods for integrating ring-protocol-compatible devices into network configurations that also include non-ring-protocol-compatible devices are disclosed. One such method, which can be performed by a network node that supports a ring protocol, involves generating a ring protocol packet and sending that ring protocol packet to a neighboring node. The ring protocol packet includes information, and the presence of this information within the packet causes a network device that receives the ring protocol packet to drop the ring protocol packet unless the network device supports a ring protocol. The information can include a reserved address (e.g., in the destination address field of the packet) as well as a ring protocol identifier.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a subnet-scoped multicast packet is received on an interface of a forwarding device that is connected to a host device of a subnet of a forwarding domain. The received subnet-scoped multicast packet is transmitted from one or more other interfaces of the forwarding device that are connected to one or more other host devices of the subnet. The received subnet-scoped multicast packet is also encapsulated with an additional header. The encapsulated subnet-scoped multicast packet is forwarded from the forwarding device to an intermediate router which routes the encapsulated subnet-scoped multicast packet to one or more other forwarding devices configured to decapsulate the encapsulated subnet-scoped multicast packet and transmit the decapsulated subnet-scoped multicast packet to one or more connected host devices of an additional portion of the subnet.

    摘要: A cross stack rapid transition protocol is provided for permitting multiple network devices organized as a stack to rapidly transition their ports in response to network changes so as to minimize traffic flow disruptions while avoiding loops. Each switch in the stack has a stack port that connects the switch to another switch in the stack, and a plurality of ports for connecting the switch to other entities of the computer network. Each switch includes a Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) entity that transitions the ports of the switch among a plurality of states including a forwarding state and a blocking state. Each switch also tracks which other switches are members of the switch stack. The stack port of each switch is transitioned to the forwarding state, and a single switch having connectivity to a root is elected to be a Stack Root. One or more other switches may have Alternate Stack Root Ports, that provide alternate paths to the root. If the current Stack Root loses connectivity to the root, the switch whose Alternate Stack Root Port represents the next best path to the root issues one or more proposal messages to the other members of the switch stack. These other members respond with an Acknowledgement, and the former Stack Root transitions its port to the blocking state. Once the proposing switch receives an Acknowledgment from all other active members of the switch stack, it transitions its Alternate Stack Root Port to the forwarding state so that network messages can be forwarded to and from switch stack.
