Abstract: In one example, a method includes receiving a plurality of network probes originating from a first provider edge router in a service provider network, calculating a plurality of network performance metrics, based on the plurality of network probes, and storing the network performance metrics associated with each network probe of the plurality of network probes in a path metric table, wherein an entry in the path metric table for the each network probe includes a path traveled by the each network probe from the first provider edge router to the processing system, the network performance metrics associated with the each network probe, a community value associated with the each network probe, and a traffic classification value associated with the each network probe.

Abstract: Managing prefix lists at edge devices can include detecting, at an edge device, a traffic flow that can include a packet that specifies a destination address. The edge device can measure a bandwidth associated with the traffic flow, identify a flow bandwidth threshold defined for the edge device, and determine if the bandwidth associated with the traffic flow satisfies the flow bandwidth threshold. If a determination is made that the bandwidth associated with the traffic flow satisfies the flow bandwidth threshold, the edge device can include the destination address in a prefix list stored at the edge device. If a determination is made that the bandwidth associated with the traffic flow does not satisfy the flow bandwidth threshold, the edge device can omit the destination address from the prefix list stored at the edge device.

Abstract: A routing structure is defined for provider edge (PE) routers that will create the ability to recompute best paths based on application criteria. The routing structure may include the use of a network controller which is connected with the internet to receive requests from applications to trigger path re-computation. The controller will peer with PEs to send re-computation information used by the PE to construct an application-aware BGP table and forwarding instance. The PE also defines a new BGP and packet filter to replicate specific BGP paths into the application-aware table. The application-aware BGP and forwarding instance is unique to the requesting application. Thus, each request with a different source/destination combination obtains a discrete table providing separation. When a packet enters the PE from customer edge (CE) or core interface the packet traverses a packet filter that when matched against source/destination is redirected to the appropriate application-aware forwarding table. Once in the application-aware table the packet is then forwarded along the application-aware path achieving the objective. The instantiation of the application-aware BGP and forwarding table is be done based on BGP updates learned from the controller.

Abstract: A recovery route reflector with a monitoring module and a BGP state establishment module is peered with a plurality of primary route reflectors. Each of the plurality of primary route reflectors is peered with a set of provider edge devices. The BGP state between the recovery route reflector and the plurality of primary route reflectors is periodically monitored. When a primary route reflector fails the BGP state between the recovery route reflector and the failed primary route reflectors is idle, and the recovery route reflector establishes a peer session with the provider edge devices that had been peered with the failed route reflector.

Abstract: A system comprising a BAFX adapted to provide a route exchange between dissimilar address family interfaces; wherein the BAFX is a control plane BGP speaker that connects directly to each address family interface specific route reflector and wherein each address family interface specific route reflector advertises its BGP content to the BAFX for translation; and the BAFX translates a received address family interface format into a destination address family interface format and announces a reformatted route address to a destination route reflector.

Abstract: A system and method for software defined network (SDN) management. Route information is received from a customer edge (CE) device. The route information is parsed to identify at least one virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) instance for which the route information is intended. The route information is imported into the VRF instance.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to route traffic in a virtual private network are disclosed herein. Example methods include replacing, by executing an instruction with a processor at a first provider router, a first next hop address included in first route information with a second next hop address. The first next hop address identifies a first edge router of a plurality of edge routers in a first region and the second next hop address identifies the first provider router. The provider router is not at an edge of a provider network included in the virtual private network and the first route information identifies a first route to a customer address in a customer network coupled to the first edge router. The methods also include advertising the first route information having the second next hop address to the plurality of edge routers if data traffic is to access a service.
