    Abstract: A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes receiving a request to create a path through a network, wherein the path originates on a first network device and terminates on the second network device; identifying a first controller associated with the first network device, wherein the first controller proxies control plane functions for the first network device; identifying a second controller associated with the second network device, wherein the second controller proxies control plane functions for the second network device; and computing the path using the first controller as a source and the second controller as a destination. The first controller installs the computed path on the first network device and the second controller installs the computed path on the second network device.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a particular PE device of a plurality of multi-homing PE devices between a core network and a local network determines a subset of traffic for which the particular PE device is responsible. The particular PE also establishes, with itself as root, a multicast tree within the local network for underlay multicast groups. Traffic received at the particular PE from the core network is admitted into the local network only if the core traffic corresponds to the subset of traffic for which the particular PE device is responsible (and mapped into one of the underlay multicast groups for which the particular PE device is the root). Also, multicast traffic received at the particular PE from the local network is forwarded into the core network only if the multicast traffic corresponds to the subset of traffic for which the particular PE device is responsible.

    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 source transmits one or more data packets to a destination over a primary pseudowire (PW). When a device on the primary PW detects a downstream failure of the primary PW, and in response to receiving one or more data packets from a source from the failed primary PW, the device adds a loopback packet identifier to the one or more received data packets, and returns the one or more data packets with the loopback packet identifier to the source upstream on the primary PW. Accordingly, in response to receiving the data packet returned with a loopback packet identifier from the primary PW (in response to the downstream failure), the source retransmits the one or more data packets to the destination over a backup PW.

    Abstract translation: 在一个实施例中,源将主要伪线(PW)发送一个或多个数据分组到目的地。 当主PW上的设备检测到主PW的下游故障时,并且响应于从故障主PW接收到来自源的一个或多个数据分组,该设备向一个或多个接收的数据分组添加环回分组标识符 并将具有环回分组标识符的一个或多个数据分组返回到主PW上游源。 因此,响应于从主PW(响应于下游故障)接收到以环回分组标识符返回的数据分组,源通过备份PW将一个或多个数据分组重传到目的地。

    Abstract: A system and method for advertising out-of-resources (OOR) conditions for entities, such as nodes, line cards and data links, in a manner that does not involve using a maximum cost to indicate the entity is “out-of-resources.” According to the technique, an OOR condition for an entity is advertised in one or more type-length-value (TLV) objects contained in an advertisement message. The advertisement message is flooded to nodes on a data network to inform them of the entity's OOR condition. Head-end nodes that process the advertisement message may use information contained in the TLV object to determine a path for a new label switched path (LSP) that does not include the entity associated with the OOR condition.
