摘要： In general, techniques are for providing a direct forwarding path between virtual routers within a single virtualized routing system. In one example, a method includes combining forwarding information from a plurality of virtual routers into collapsed forwarding information that comprises one or more direct forwarding paths between the respective virtual routers. The method also includes determining a direct forwarding path to an egress interface of the second virtual router, in response to receiving a network packet at an ingress interface of a first virtual router. The method also includes forwarding the network packet from the ingress interface of the first virtual router to the egress interface of the second virtual router using the direct forwarding path, wherein the network packet traverses a switch fabric directly from the ingress interface of the first virtual router to the egress interface of the second virtual router.

摘要翻译： 通常，技术用于在单个虚拟化路由系统内的虚拟路由器之间提供直接转发路径。 在一个示例中，一种方法包括将来自多个虚拟路由器的转发信息组合成包括在各个虚拟路由器之间的一个或多个直接转发路径的折叠转发信息。 响应于在第一虚拟路由器的入口接口处接收到网络分组，该方法还包括确定到第二虚拟路由器的出口接口的直接转发路径。 该方法还包括使用直接转发路径将网络分组从第一虚拟路由器的入口接口转发到第二虚拟路由器的出口接口，其中网络分组从第一虚拟路由器的入口接口直接穿越交换结构 到第二虚拟路由器的出口接口。
