Abstract: Aspects of the disclosed technology address limitations relating to packet replication for multi-destination traffic, by providing methods for performing hardware-based replication in network infrastructure devices, such as switches. In some aspects, application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) resident in physical devices can be used to perform packet replication. Depending on implementation, a hardware-based replication process can include steps for receiving a first packet that includes a first outer header containing first address information, receiving a second packet including a second outer header containing a hardware replication flag, forwarding the first packet to all virtual tunnel endpoints (VTEPs) connected with the TOR switch, and performing hardware replication for the second packet based on the hardware replication flag to generate one or more unicast packets. Systems and machine readable media are also provided.

Abstract: Various embodiments are disclosed for increasing Layer-3 LPM (longest prefix match) routing database in a network platform. In some embodiments, chipsets in fabric modules (FMs) can be partitioned into multiple banks. Network traffic can be directed towards a corresponding bank in the FMs by using a LPM table on a line card (LC). Entries in the LPM table on the LC can be programmed either statically or dynamically based upon LPM routes that are dynamically learned.

Abstract: A plurality of equal cost paths through a network from a source node to a destination node are determined. A maximum bandwidth capacity for each link of each of the plurality of equal cost paths is determined, and a smallest capacity link for each of the plurality of equal cost paths is determined from the maximum capacity bandwidths for each link. An aggregated maximum bandwidth from the source node to the destination node is determined by aggregating the smallest capacity links for each of the plurality of equal cost paths. Traffic is sent from the source node along each of the plurality of equal cost paths according to a value of a capacity for the smallest capacity link for each of the plurality of equal cost paths, wherein a total of the sent traffic does not exceed the aggregated maximum bandwidth.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for generating and updating flooding tree paths in a network. At a particular node device in a network, a first flooding tree is generated by performing a first shortest path first (SPF) operation from a first selected node device in the network to a plurality of other node devices in the network. A second flooding tree is generated by performing a second SPF operation from a second selected node device in the network to the plurality of other node devices in the network. A network topology change event is detected in either the first or second flooding tree, and a packet sequence exchange is initiated between the particular node device and another node device in the network in response to the detected network topology change. The first and second flooding trees are then updated based on information obtained during the packet sequence exchange.

Abstract: A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes receiving a first pseudo-node identifier associated with a first network node via a network. The first pseudo-node identifier is generated by the first network node in a first designated intermediate system (DIS) operation. The method further includes detecting a loss of connectivity to the first network node, and receiving a second pseudo-node identifier associated with a second network node via the network. The second pseudo-node identifier is generated by the second network node in a second DIS operation. The method further includes executing a first network path determination operation using the first pseudo-node identifier and the second pseudo-node identifier when an elapsed time between the detecting of the loss of connectivity with the first network node and the executing of the first network path determination operation is within a predetermined threshold.
