摘要： Methods for controlling a Designated Forwarder (DF) election in a multicast network are described herein. The multicast network includes a plurality of multicast network devices, including a first network device and a second network device. A Designated Forwarder is determined. It is determined whether to initiate a Designated Forwarder election based on a comparison of a metric measuring a distance to a Rendezvous Point Address from a first network device and a metric measuring the distance to the Rendezvous Point Address from the second network device.

摘要： A method for checking expected network traffic is disclosed. The method for checking expected network traffic includes accessing pre-registered expected results of a network traffic checking exercise that include expected packet content verification information for individual packets of the network traffic. In addition, the method includes accessing network traffic where individual packets of the network traffic include actual packet content verification information. Individual packets are identified that have expected packet content verification information that does not match their actual packet content verification information and individual packets are identified that have expected packet content verification information that does match their actual packet content verification information.

摘要： Systems, devices, and methods, including executable instructions are provided for content addressable memory (CAM). One method includes defining the CAM into an array of data words having M rows and N columns, with each of N and M being greater than one. The data words of the CAM are arranged according to a 2-dimensional priority scheme. Data words outside a selected 1×M column are masked to be ignored in determining a match, and the CAM is searched. Each search includes N compare cycles and each compare cycle having a different 1×M column selected. A highest priority match per compare cycle is pipelined from a priority encoder with the pipelined matches arranged to communicate a priority order in a first dimension of the 2-dimensional priority scheme.

摘要： In an embodiment of the invention, a method and system for a per-port penalty queue system in a network device includes: selecting a state for a port in the network device; wherein the selected state comprises either a normal state or a restricted state; wherein the normal state permits a packet received at the port to be copied to a first queue; and wherein the restricted state causes the packet to be copied to a penalty queue which has lower priority than the first queue or causes the packet to not be copied to a queue. In another embodiment of the invention, a method and system permit using the port state for modifying a forwarding decision for a packet, so that the penalized packet will use a sub-optimal or less optimal routing path to the packet destination. In another embodiment of the invention, a method and system permit using the port state as a search key into an access control list (ACL) operation related to packet forwarding decisions or packet filtering decisions.

摘要： One embodiment disclosed relates to a method for remote mirroring of network traffic. A data packet to be remotely mirrored is received by an entry device. The entry device is pre-configured with a destination Internet Protocol (IP) address to which to mirror the data packet. An IP header is generated and added to IP encapsulate the data packet. The IP header includes the aforementioned destination IP address. The IP-encapsulated packet is forwarded to an exit device associated with the destination IP address. Subsequently, the exit device may decapsulate the IP-encapsulated packet to reproduce the original data packet.

摘要： Dynamic hardware address assignment to network devices in a switch mesh is described. In an example, a network device in a switch mesh dynamically assigns a hardware address to a network interface. The network device receives an address request from a client through the switch mesh. The network device calculates an index value for the client based on data in the address request. The network device selects the hardware address of a plurality of hardware addresses assigned to the network interface based on the index value. The switch mesh includes a plurality of traffic paths respectively for the plurality of hardware addresses. The network device sends the hardware address in a reply to the client through the switch mesh.
