    摘要: A system comprising a plurality of service nodes, a controller and a network device in communication with the controller. Each of the plurality of service nodes is configured to support one or more service functions to establish a service function chain that includes a plurality of service functions to be performed by routing traffic among the plurality of service nodes. The controller is configured to generate provisioning information for the service function chain. The provisioning information includes at least one condition upon which a service function reclassification or branching operation is to be performed by at least one service node. The network device is in communication with the controller, and is configured to distribute the provisioning information for the service function chain to the plurality of service nodes using a distributed routing protocol.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a controller device in a computer network domain learns border gateway protocol (BGP) egress peering segments from one or more border routers of the domain, and determines a selected flow to segment route via a particular egress peering segment, the selected flow from a given routing device within the domain to a given destination of a remote domain. As such, the controller device may then instruct the given routing device to segment route the selected flow via the particular egress peering segment. In another embodiment, an egress border router shares its BGP egress peering segments, and receives a flow to segment route. The egress border router may determine, from a segment route contained within the flow, to which particular egress peering segment of the border router to segment route the flow, and forwards the flow out of the domain via the particular egress peering segment.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a router located at an exit edge of an autonomous system (AS) receives a data packet in a data plane, and determines a destination of the data packet and an associated AS-path information to the destination. The router may then insert the AS-path information into the data packet, and forwards the data packet with the AS-path information toward the destination, such that a receiving device in a destination AS can validate whether the data packet was routed through a path that was secure from a control plane perspective based on a collection of one or more insertions of AS-path information.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a router selects a particular peer from an original update group used with an Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). The original update group includes a plurality of peers of the router that share a same outbound policy and that receive common update messages, from the router, of routing table information. The router determines that the particular peer is a potential slow peer based on a first type of indicia, wherein a slow peer is a peer that cannot keep up with a rate at which the router generates update messages over a prolonged period of time. The router confirms that one or more second types of indicia are consistent with the particular peer being a slow peer. In response to the confirmation, the router determines that the particular peer is a slow peer.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a validation server in a computer network determines that an edge router of the computer network has blocked access to a desired server address based on the edge router not having authentication information for the desired server address. In response, the server creates a white-listing policy to temporarily allow access to the desired server address at the edge router, and sends the white-listing policy to the edge router. The validation server may then proceed with performing server fetching operations to the desired server address from the validation server while the white-listing policy is in effect, and instructs the edge device to remove the white-listing policy once the server fetching operations are completed.
