    摘要: A method for applying network services to data traffic forwarded between virtual private network (VPN) sites includes: receiving a data packet addressed to a target site associated with the VPN, determining services to be applied to the data packet according to a service chain, where the determining is a function of at least one of the VPN, the origin site or the target site, adding an indication of a VPN forwarding context onto the data packet, encapsulating the data packet with Network Service Header encapsulation, where a header for the encapsulated data packet indicates at least the service chain; forwarding the encapsulated data packet in accordance with the service chain, receiving the encapsulated data packet at the end of the service chain, terminating the service chain, removing the encapsulation, and forwarding the data packet to a target destination per the indication of a VPN forwarding context.

    摘要: A mechanism for ASBRs to identify the originating node, or router, in an LSP conversant autonomous system (AS), such as an MPLS VPN environment, maintains the identity of the originating node and successive nodes in subsequent autonomous systems along the path to the node to be pinged. The identity of the transporting nodes is stored in a stack or other object associated with the ping request (ping), such that the pinged node may employ the stored identity as a set of return path routing information. Successive ASBRs store their identity on the stack, in an ordered manner, along the path to the destination. Upon reaching the destination (ping) node, the destination node employs the identity of the first node on the stack to send the acknowledgment, or ping response. Each successive ASBR, therefore, pops (retrieves) the next node identity from the stack and redirects (sends) the ping response to the retrieved node.

    摘要: A given router in the core of a label-switching network identifies a group of routers to receive common label binding information for later routing packets along respective paths through the label-switching network. One way to identify which of multiple routers to include as a member of the group to receive the same label information is to analyze egress policies associated with downstream routers in the label-switching network. Based on this analysis, the given router identifies group members as routers having a substantially same egress policy as each other. The given router then allocates memory resources to store a common set of label information to be distributed to each member in the group of routers having the same egress policy. After populating the memory resources with label information, the given router distributes a common set of label information to each router in the group of routers.

    摘要: A computer system includes functionality enabling a provider edge router to determine whether network data such as VRF information is properly associated with a corresponding virtual private network. A first node through which the network data is transmitted generates a signature value uniquely associated with the virtual private network. The first node forwards the signature value along with the network data to a second node of the physical network. The second node, in turn, verifies that the network data (such as VRF information) is properly associated with the second node (and virtual network) based on its own generation of a signature value, which is compared with the signature value received from the first node.

    摘要: A routing mechanism provides network segmentation preservation by route distribution with segment identification, policy distribution for a given VPN segment, and encapsulation/decapsulation for each segment using an Ethernet VLAN_ID, indicative of the VPN segment (subnetwork). Encapsulated segmentation information in a message packet identifies which routing and forwarding table is employed for the next hop. A common routing instance receives the message packets from the common interface, and indexes a corresponding VRF table from the VLAN ID, or segment identifier, indicative of the subnetwork (e.g. segment). In this manner, the routing instance receives the incoming message packet, decapsulates the VLAN ID in the incoming message packet, and indexes the corresponding VRF and policy ID from the VLAN ID, therefore employing a common routing instance over a common subinterface for a plurality of segments (subnetworks) coupled to a particular forwarding device (e.g. VPN router).

    摘要: A method and apparatus for providing routing protocol support for distributing encryption information is presented. Subnet prefixes reachable on a first customer site in an encrypted manner are identified, as are security groups the subnet prefixes belong to. An advertisement is received at a first Customer Edge (CE) device in the first customer site, the advertisement originating from a Customer (C) device in the first customer site. The advertisement indicates links, subnets to be encrypted, and security group identifiers. The prefixes and the security group identifiers are then propagated across a service provider network to a second CE device located in a second customer site. In such a manner, encryption and authentication is expanded further into a customer site, as customer devices are able to indicate to a service provider network infrastructure and other customer devices in other customer sites which local destinations require encryption/authentication.
