    摘要: A path verification protocol (PVP) which enumerates a series of messages sent to a set of nodes, or routers, along a suspected path identifies forwarding plane problems for effecting changes at the control plane level. The messages include a command requesting interrogation of a further remote node for obtaining information about the path between the node receiving the PVP message and the further remote node. The node receiving the PVP message replies with a command response indicative of the outcome of attempts to reach the further remote node. The series of messages collectively covers a set of important routing points along a path from the originator to the recipient. The aggregate command responses to the series of PVP messages is analyzed to identify not only whether the entire path is operational, but also the location and nature of the problem.

    摘要: A method, apparatus and computer program product for providing convergence for a dual-homed site in a network is presented. An occurrence of a failure between a first Provider Edge (PE) device and a first Customer Edge (CE) device in communication with a dual-homed site is detected. A determination is made whether an alternate route exists for the dual-homed site in a routing table associated with the first PE device. When an alternate route exists then a routing entry associated with the first CE device in a routing table of said first PE device is kept from being deleted for a predetermined amount of time, the routing table is modified to reference the alternate route, the routing entry is rewritten to perform a POP and lookup in a VRF table of the first PE device, and the routing entry is deleted after the predetermined amount of time has elapsed.
