摘要:
A method may include receiving, at a network interface of a first network element, an Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) message from a second network element. The method may also include updating first multicast group data associated with the network interface based on the received IGMP message, the first multicast group data including one or more entries setting forth a multicast group and one or more other network elements which are members of the multicast group. The method may additionally include determining whether the second network element is the sole member of its multicast group based on the IGMP message and the first multicast group data. The method may further include forwarding the IGMP message to a switching element of the first network element in response to determining that the second network element is the sole member of its multicast group, the switching element communicatively coupled to the network interface.

In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a method is provided for communicating multicast traffic. The method may include in response to receipt of multicast control traffic at a network element to be communicated to a protection switching group, communicating the multicast control traffic to each of a working path and a protection path of the protection switching group. The method may also include in response to receipt of multicast control traffic via either of the working path and the protection path, processing the multicast control traffic as if the multicast control traffic was received via both the working path and the protection path.

A computational method and system for estimating port delays in a network may use a data-driven estimation with quadratic programming based on available network path data that is already collected. In this manner, port delays for each individual port in the network may be estimated without having to measure each individual port using sensors.

According to one embodiment, a method for processing heartbeat messages includes processing heartbeat messages received at a first network interface integral to a first network element from a second network element to determine a first status parameter associated with the second network element. The method may also include processing heartbeat messages received at a second network interface integral to the first network element from the second network element to determine a second status parameter associated with the second network element. The method may further include determining a status of the second network element based on the first status parameter and the second status parameter.

In one embodiment, informing nodes of traffic management resource availability includes establishing whether there is an available traffic management resource at a first node, where a traffic management resource tracks usage of bandwidth by a tunnel at the first node. Whether there is an available traffic management resource is recorded in a traffic management link attribute. The traffic management link attribute is sent to second nodes to inform the second nodes of whether there is an available traffic management resource at the first node.

A method and system for performing synthetic loss measurements (SLM) includes methods for single-ended and dual-ended synthetic loss measurements. The methods include maintaining a session number indicative of a physical network component at each maintenance point used to perform synthetic loss measurements. The session numbers are maintained according to a novel protocol and are used to detect a change in the network component, such as resulting from a protection switch event. The session numbers enable the synthetic loss measurements to continue irrespective of changes in the values for the session numbers and to remove errors when computing frame loss that may arise when physical network components change. The disclosed methods and systems may be used when a link aggregation group exists between a local maintenance point and a remote maintenance point.

A method may include determining a first number of events occurring during a first threshold detection duration. The method may further include causing processing of events to cease for a particular throttling duration in response to determining that the first number of events occurring during the threshold detection duration is greater than a predetermined threshold. The method may also include determining a second number of events occurring during a second threshold detection duration. Additionally, the method may include, in response to determining that the first number of events occurring during the first threshold detection duration is greater than the predetermined threshold and that the second number of events occurring during the second threshold detection duration is greater than the predetermined threshold: increasing the time of the particular throttling duration; and causing processing of events to cease for the increased particular throttling duration.

According to one embodiment, a method may include instantiating a first maintenance end point on a first port of a first network element. The first maintenance end point may determine whether a heartbeat message has been received from a second maintenance end point instantiated on a second port of a second network element. In response to determining that the heartbeat message has been received, the maintenance end point may analyze the heartbeat message to determine an identifier for the second network element and an identifier for the second port. Based on the determination of the identifier of the second network element and the identifier of the second port, the network element may store information to an adjacency list, the information indicating at least one of an adjacency of the first port to the second port and an adjacency of the first network element to the second network element.
