Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, detecting whether a bandwidth capacity loss occurs on a first link bundle connecting one or more first core routers of a core Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) network with one or more first provider routers, resulting in a detected capacity loss, wherein communication between the one or more first core routers of the core IGP network and the one or more first provider routers utilizes a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), wherein a second link bundle connects one or more second core routers of the core IGP network with one or more second provider routers, and wherein communication between the one or more second core routers of the core IGP network and one or more second provider routers utilizes the BGP; responsive to the detected capacity loss, automatically increasing a cost associated with selected network traffic that was to be carried between the one or more first provider routers and the one or more first core routers of the core IGP network and that will instead be re-directed for communication via the second link bundle; and causing communication via the second link bundle of the selected network traffic, wherein the communication via the second link bundle of the selected network traffic is between the one or more second provider routers and the one or more second core routers of the core IGP network. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: In one example, a method for monitoring the state and health of a centralized software defined networking controller includes detecting, by a standby software defined networking controller, when a number of path computation client sessions reported by an active software defined networking controller fails to match an expected number; verifying, by the standby software defined networking controller after expiration of a predefined delay implemented after the detecting, that the number of path computation client sessions reported by the active software defined networking controller still fails to match the expected number; and assuming, by the standby software defined networking controller after the verifying, a role of the active software defined networking controller.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture (e.g., physical storage media) to reroute tunnel traffic in a network are disclosed. Example methods disclosed herein include, in response to detecting an event associated with routing first traffic in the network, determining a plurality of paths to carry respective traffic for a plurality of tunnels between pairs of routers in the network, the plurality of paths being determined based on a quality metric characterizing an aggregate tunnel bandwidth to be carried by the plurality of paths for the plurality of tunnels. Such disclosed example methods also include sending first routing information describing the plurality of paths to the routers in the network to cause the routers to route the respective traffic for the plurality of tunnels using the plurality of paths.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining for a first path carrying first network traffic a corresponding first alternate path; obtaining for a second path carrying second network traffic a corresponding second alternate path, at least a first portion of the first alternate path being the same as at least a second portion of the second alternate path; responsive to a first detected failure on the first path, causing communication of first re-directed network traffic via the first alternate path instead of via the first path; responsive to a second detected failure on the second path, detecting whether total traffic, including the first re-directed network traffic, on the first portion of the first alternate path meets a threshold; responsive to the detected meeting of the threshold, obtaining for the second path a corresponding back-up alternate path; and causing communication of second re-directed network traffic via the back-up alternative path instead of via the second path. Other embodiments are disclosed.
