    摘要: Fast Reroute capability is added to an IP network to guarantee fast recovery to IP traffic in case of link or node failure without the need to deploy a full mesh of MPLS Traffic Engineering Label Switched Paths (LSPs). In one implementation, to protect a link, a 1-hop primary LSP is configured for the protected link and in addition a backup tunnel is configured to protect the 1-hop primary LSP. To protect a node, 2-hop primary LSPs are established for the link pairs traversing the node and backup tunnel(s) are configured to protect these 2-hop primary LSPs.

    摘要: A technique triggers packing of path computation requests (PCRs) for traffic engineering (TE) label switched paths (LSPs) that are sent from one or more label-switched routers (LSRs) to a path computation element (PCE) of a computer network. According to the novel technique, incoming PCRs are packed into sets in response to a certain event, and one or more TE-LSPs (paths) are computed for each PCR of a particular set based on the PCRs of that set. Specifically, the PCE detects an event in the network (“network event”) indicating that an increase in the number of incoming PCRs has occurred, or that an increase is likely to occur due to, e.g., a change in a network element. Once the network event has been detected, the PCE packs the incoming PCRs into configured-length sets, such as, e.g., for a specified time interval or a certain number of PCRs. The PCE computes paths for each PCR of a particular set while considering the other PCRs of that set, thereby reducing race conditions, signaling overhead, and set-up failures.

    摘要: Systems and methods for computing the paths of MPLS Traffic Engineering LSPs across Autonomous System and/or area boundaries. A distributed path computation algorithm exploits multiple path computation elements (PCEs) to develop a virtual shortest path tree (VSPT) resulting in computation of an end-to-end optimal (shortest) path. In some implementations, the VSPT is computed recursively across all the Autonomous Systems and/or areas between the head-end and tail-end of the Traffic Engineering LSP.

    摘要: A mechanism to alleviate bandwidth fragmentation in a network employing path computation element(s) to place MPLS Traffic Engineering tunnels. One application is a multiple Autonomous System or multiple area network employing distributed computation of MPLS Traffic Engineering LSPs. A particular path computation element may determine that bandwidth fragmentation is present based on monitoring of path computation failures where desired paths are blocked due to bandwidth constraints. In response to the detected bandwidth fragmentation condition, the path computation element floods a routing notification within its Autonomous System or area. Nodes respond to the routing notification by requesting reoptimization of their own previously requested Traffic Engineering LSPs allowing the path computation element an opportunity to alleviate bandwidth fragmentation.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are disclosed for performing a shortest path first network routing path determination in a data communications network based in part on information about links that are associated as shared risk link groups. Micro-loops are avoided in computing shortest path first trees by considering whether links are within shared risk link groups. In a first approach, for each link state packet in a link state database, listed adjacencies are removed if the link between the node originating the LSP and the reported adjacency belongs to a shared risk link group for which one component (local link) is known as down, and a shortest path first computation is then performed. In a second approach, during the SPT computation and after having added a first node to a path, each neighboring node is added to a tentative tree if and only if, a link between the first node and the neighboring node does not belong to a shared risk link group for which one component (local link) is known as down.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for unambiguously identifying merge points associated with backup label switched paths (LSPs) which substantially bypass border routers included along a primary LSP are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, a method for finding a merge point between a primary LSP and a backup LSP which has a head-end and a tail-end in different regions includes obtaining identifying information, which identifies nodes on the path of the primary LSP, from a record route object associated with the primary LSP. The method also includes comparing a node address of the identifying information with a destination address of the backup LSP or a node address present in a node identifier (node-ID) subobject of the backup LSP to identify the merge point.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a node (e.g., a root-node) of a currently known directed acyclic graph (DAG) topology of a computer network can identify a sub-DAG of one or more nodes that are unreachable. The node can further determine a scope of the unreachable nodes of the sub-DAG and tunnel a redirected message to a reachable node of the DAG topology that is adjacent to at least one of the unreachable nodes of the sub-DAG. The redirected message may cause the reachable node to distribute the redirected message to one or more of the unreachable nodes of the sub-DAG based on the scope.

    摘要: A method, apparatus and computer program product for determining a preferred backup path to protect a point-to-multipoint label switching path is presented. A point-to-multipoint backup path is computed for each node located upstream from a branching node, the backup path originating at the node and including a set of nodes downstream from said branching node. A cost metric associated with each backup path is determined, as is a distance metric associated with each backup path. From the cost and distance metrics associated with each backup path a preferred backup path is selected using a distributed algorithm.
