    Abstract: In a source provider edge (PE) router, a method for supporting protocol independent multicast sparse-mode (PIM-SM) using multicast resource reservation protocol-traffic engineering (mRSVP-TE) comprising the steps of creating a protocol independent multicast (PIM) state, sending a first unicast data message to a rendezvous point (RP) PE router using the PIM state, wherein the first unicast data message is a PIM register message encapsulated as a unicast multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) packet, receiving a PIM join message from the RP PE router, wherein the PIM join message triggers creating a second PIM state, sending a second unicast data message to the RP PE router via a default multicast distribution tree (MDT) using the second PIM state, receiving a PIM register-stop message from the RP PE router, wherein the PIM register-stop message suspends sending the second unicast data message.

    Abstract translation: 在源提供商边缘(PE)路由器中,使用组播资源预留协议流量工程(mRSVP-TE)支持协议独立的组播稀疏模式(PIM-SM)的方法,包括创建协议无关组播(PIM) 状态,使用PIM状态向聚集点(RP)PE路由器发送第一单播数据消息,其中所述第一单播数据消息是封装为单播多协议标签交换(MPLS)分组的PIM注册消息,接收PIM加入消息 从RP PE路由器,其中PIM加入消息触发创建第二PIM状态,通过使用第二PIM状态的默认组播分发树(MDT)向RP PE路由器发送第二单播数据消息,接收PIM注册停止 来自RP PE路由器的消息,其中PIM注册停止消息暂停发送第二单播数据消息。

    Abstract: A network element (NE) configured as a local cloud switch point (CSP) comprises a memory configured to store remote virtual routing information in association with an identifier (ID) of a remote CSP in a mapping table, wherein the remote virtual routing information is associated with a remote virtual network associated with the remote CSP, and wherein the remote virtual routing information comprises a virtual extensible network (VXN) type identifier (ID), an address family ID (AFI), and a subsequent AFI (SAFI). The NE further comprises a processor coupled to the memory and configured to perform encapsulation on a data packet to generate a encapsulated data packet by adding an outer header to the data packet based on the AFI, adding a virtualization header to the data packet based on the VXN type ID, and adding an inner header to the data packet based on the SAFI. The NE further comprises a transmitter coupled to the processor and configured to transmit the encapsulated data packet to the remote CSP.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a mechanism for discovering SDN specific topology information in a SDN interconnection network. SDN specific topology information may comprise SDN IDs, SDN member router ID lists, and SDN address lists. A SDNC associated with a local SDN domain in the SDN interconnection network may determine a set of routers and/or links in the local SDN domain for link advertisement and may associate the set of routers with the local SDN domain. The SDNC may further determine a set of border routers in the local SDN domain for broadcasting the link advertisements and SDN specific topology information to other interconnected SDN domains. The SDNC may receive link advertisement and SDN specific topology information from other interconnected SDN domains and may compute a best path through each router and/or link across the SDN domains.
