    摘要: A technique enables an intermediate network node to efficiently process link-state packets using a single running context (i.e., process or thread). The intermediate network node floods received link-state packets (LSP) before performing shortest path first (SPF) calculations and routing information base (RIB) updates. In addition, the node limits the number of LSPs that are permitted to be flooded before the node performs its SPF calculations. More specifically, if the number of link-state packets that are flooded during a flooding cycle exceeds a first predetermined threshold value, the node performs the SPF calculations before additional packets may be flooded. The intermediate network node also limits how long its RIB update may be delayed in favor of flooding operations. When the number of LSPs flooded after the SPF calculations exceeds a second predetermined threshold value or there are no more packets to be flooded, the node updates the contents of its RIB based on the SPF calculations.

    摘要: A technique optimizes routing of application data streams on an Internet Protocol (IP) backbone in a computer network. According to the novel technique, a client router learns of server states (e.g., number of pending requests, etc.) of a plurality of application servers and also determines metrics of intermediate links between the application servers and the client router (intermediate link metrics), e.g., particularly link metrics in a direction from the application servers to the client router. Upon receiving an application request from an application client (“client request”), the client router determines to which of the application servers the client request is to be sent based on the server states and intermediate link metrics, and sends the client request accordingly.

    摘要: In one embodiment, each proximity server of a proximity network computes a distance from each particular location-community for which the proximity server is responsible to each location-community within the proximity network, wherein each distance is from a root location-community to a leaf location-community. The proximity servers may then share each computed distance with the other proximity servers within the proximity network, such that each proximity server in the proximity network maintains a distance between each location-community in the proximity network. Accordingly, a proximity server may then service proximity requests for content through performance of a lookup operation into the shared computed distances based on a root location-community being a location-community of an originator of the content requested within the proximity request and a leaf location-community being a location-community of a receiver of the content requested within the proximity request.

    摘要: A technique efficiently avoids transient routing disturbances in link state routing protocols with fragmented link state packets (LSPs) in a computer network. According to the novel technique, a link state router (LSR) specifies which of two or more links are to be advertised in each of two or more corresponding LSP fragments. The LSR advertises the states of the specified links in the corresponding LSP fragments to one or more other LSRs. In other words, each link of the LSR is assigned to a particular LSP fragment, and the state of the link is always to be advertised in that particular LSP fragment (i.e., no fragment wrapping). Upon receiving the LSP fragments, the other LSRs may update the correct link states based on the individual LSP fragments, i.e., without transient routing disturbances caused by fragment wrapping.

    摘要: A technique efficiently determines acceptable link-based loop free alternates (LFAS) in a computer network. According to the novel technique, a protecting network device configured to protect a link (“protected link”) distinguishes other network devices (e.g., of the same domain as the protecting network device) as either network edge devices (i.e., an end point for external network traffic) or network core devices (i.e., not an end point for external network traffic). The protecting network device may then determine whether a neighboring network device loops toward a network edge device. If not, the protecting network device may determine that the neighboring network device is an acceptable LFA (e.g., for external network traffic). Notably, traffic directed to core devices may still loop, however, this traffic is generally internal (e.g., signaling) traffic, and may not be subject to the same operational constraints (e.g., protection) as external traffic.

    摘要: A method of managing forwarding of data in a first autonomous system (AS) is described. The first AS includes a plurality of border routers having inter-domain links to one or more remote AS's and an associated exterior communications protocol. The border routers use an interior communications protocol with other border routers in the first AS using primary tunnels. The method comprises the steps, performed at a first border router having a primary route via an inter-domain link to a remote AS, of constructing an alternate route to the remote AS via second border router in the first AS, instigating a backup tunnel to the second border router upon failure of the primary route and sending a failure message to the other border routers.
