摘要:
One embodiment provides a method to interconnect virtual network segments (VNETs) defined for a local-area network (LAN) infrastructure separated by a wide-area network infrastructure. The technique involves the routing device at the LAN-WAN interconnection points to impose or dispose the VNET-shim, which encodes the VNET-id information in a Layer 4 portion of the packet. In a data plane, a new IP protocol value may be used to signify the presence of the VNET-shim followed by cryptography specific information in an IP packet. In a control plane, the routing protocol is expanded to exchange the routing information along with the VNET information.

Method and apparatus including registering a first spoke router with a hub router, forwarding an Internet Protocol version Four (IPv4) data packet from the first spoke router to a second spoke router over an Internet Protocol version Six (IPv6) multipoint tunnel via the hub router, transmitting a binding information associated with the first spoke router from the hub router to the second spoke router, and establishing a direct communication path by the second spoke router with the first spoke router based on the received binding information are provided.

In one embodiment, label distribution sessions are established between a Modular Cable Modem Termination System (M-CMTS) core and one or more remote PHYs. The label distribution sessions facilitate association of labels with either Radio Frequency (RF) channels or groups of the RF channels that extend from the remote PHYs to one or more cable modems. The labels are then used to facilitate communications between the M-CMTS core and the remote PHYs over a MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS) network.

A method is provided in one example implementation and includes sending a PIM join message to the second spoke router by the hub router. The second spoke router dynamically determines each interested remote spoke router by parsing a hub-sent PIM message and accordingly constructs the multicast routing entry such that the first and second spoke routers establish multicast communication independent of a hub router. In more specific embodiments, the PIM join/prune messaging includes a list of each downstream spoke router that sent a PIM join/prune, in a new attribute. The PIM join/prune message is sent by the hub router towards a multicast source. A new receiver-list attribute is created that the hub router populates with a non-broadcast multi-access (NBMA) address for each interested spoke router.

A system transmits, to a hub from a first spoke, first routing information associated with the first spoke. The system receives, at the first spoke, from the hub, second routing information associated with a plurality of spokes in communication with the hub. The plurality of spokes includes a second spoke. The system resolves, at the first spoke, a next hop determination for the packet based on the second routing information received from the hub. The system routes the packet from the first spoke to the second spoke using the next hop determination.

A method for IP Security within Multi-Topology Routing is disclosed. Disclosed methods may also include IKE extensions. A route eligible for IPSec protection is injected into a topology routing table. Network traffic can then be protected in accordance with a security session, such as an IPSec session, between a first network node and a second network node and forwarded through a selected topology to take advantage of the service-differentiation capabilities of MTR.

Systems and methods for using routing protocol extensions to improve spoke to spoke communication in a computer network are disclosed. Embodiments provide systems and methods to establish a tunnel between a first spoke and a hub, exchange routing information between the first spoke and the hub using a routing protocol, extend the routing protocol and an associated database to include next hop mapping information, and establish a tunnel between the first spoke and a second spoke according to information in the database.
摘要:
In one embodiment, a technique for updating an address associated with a first entity in a communications network with a second entity in the communications network wherein the address is used to forward information to the first entity from the second entity. The first entity registers a first address associated with the first entity with the second entity. The first entity determines that a second address associated with the first entity is to be used instead of the first address to communicate with the first entity. The first entity generates an update message containing the second address, the update message obviating having to register the second address with the second entity. The first entity forwards the update message to the second entity to cause the second entity to use the second address instead of the first address to forward information to the first entity.

In one embodiment, a QoS manager process that receives, at an EzVPN server device, connection speed data from an EzVPN client device. In addition, the QoS manager process processes, at the EzVPN server device, the connection speed data to determine a QoS policy for a communications session between the EzVPN client device and the EzVPN server device. Furthermore, the QoS manager process applies, at the EzVPN server device, the QoS policy to the communications session between the EzVPN client device and the EzVPN server device as determined by the processing of the connection speed data.
摘要:
A method, apparatus and computer program product for limiting Virtual Private Network (VPNv4) prefixes per VPN in an inter-autonomous system environment are presented. A limit on the number of VPNv4 routes per VPN for a Route Distributor (RD) or a group of RDs associated with a VPN is defined, at an Autonomous System Border Router (ASBR). When the number of received routes at the ASBR exceeds the limit, then a soft notification is sent to a neighboring ASBR and routes exceeding the limit are discarded at the ASBR.
