    摘要: A method and apparatus that operates two bridging protocols in a hybrid bridging node is described. The operation of the two bridging protocols in the hybrid node allows for an incremental transition of a provider bridging network from operating a legacy bridging protocol that shares MAC addresses to a bridging network that operates VPLS and/or PBB bridging protocols. The hybrid bridging node selectively broadcasts address resolution packets and unicast packets with unknown MAC addresses from the nodes operating VPLS and/or PBB to nodes operating a legacy bridging protocol.

    摘要: Techniques for providing connectivity fault management (CFM) for a multi-tiered network are described herein. In one embodiment, a link trace message (LTM) is received at a provider edge (PE) router and originated from a first Ethernet node and destined to a second Ethernet node, where the PE router interfaces an Ethernet and a multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) network. In response, the PE router initiates an MPLS trace session, including generating an MPLS trace message based on the LTM message to one or more MPLS nodes along a path between the first and second Ethernet nodes within the MPLS network. Subsequently, in response to one or more MPLS trace reply messages from the MPLS nodes of the MPLS network, the PE router generates a first link trace reply (LTR) message and sends the first LTR message to the first Ethernet node over the Ethernet. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for reducing the number of CC messages transmitted in a provider network. In one embodiment of the invention, a first service provider network element receives CC messages from a first customer network at a first periodicity rate. The first service provider network element stores the received CC messages and reduces the first periodicity rate to create a second periodicity rate that is smaller than the first periodicity rate. The first service provider network element transmits CC messages to a second service provider network element through the provider network at the second periodicity rate. Other methods and apparatus are also described.

    摘要: IP addresses are efficiently assigned and advertised across the boundary of two network domains. The two network domains include an access network that implements MPLS-TP and a core network that implements IP, MPLS, or a combination of both. A primary BN at the domain boundary receives an assignment of an IP prefix for a VPN that connects a set of CEs to one or more SNs. The IP prefix represents a pool of IP addresses. The primary BN assigns only one IP address to both itself and a standby BN for the VPN to minimize the use of assigned IP addresses. The primary BN assigns the other IP addresses to the CEs in the VPN. The primary BN then advertises the IP prefix into the core network to enable routing of network data traffic across the network domain boundary.

    摘要: A first network element in an MPLS network receives a first label advertised from a second network element in the network. The first network element computes a shortest path tree (SPT) to reach a destination network element under a potential failure condition. The second network element is a nexthop of the first network element in the computed SPT and is not upstream from the potential failure condition in the computed SPT. The first network element determines that a third network element in the network is a Point of Local Repair (PLR) when the potential failure condition is realized. The first network element distributes a second label to the third network element for a backup LDP Label Switched Path (LSP) that will serve as a backup path when the potential failure condition is realized. The first network element installs a swap action from the second label to the first label.

    摘要: Techniques for recovering from hierarchical virtual private LAN service (HVPLS) hub connectivity failure are described herein. In one embodiment of the invention, a provider edge network element reuses an HVPLS spoke connectivity failure recovery mechanism in an MTU to protect against a failure of HVPLS hub connectivity. The PE network element monitors hub facing connectivity elements and declares a hub connectivity failure upon a certain amount of those hub facing connectivity elements failing, and fabricates a failure of its spoke facing connectivity elements causing the MTU to detect an HVPLS spoke connectivity failure and switch to a secondary HVPLS spoke connection. Other methods and apparatuses are described.
