    摘要: The present disclosure provides for carrying downstream mapping information in an echo request message and/or echo reply message, which can describe both IP (Internet Protocol) multipath information and label multipath information. A transit node (e.g., an LSR element) that receives an echo request message from an initiator node determines downstream mapping information, which is returned to the initiator node. Transit node determines whether a newly defined type of multipath information (type 10) should be generated to return the downstream mapping information, based on whether transit node performs load balancing based on labels or IP header information, and whether transit node imposes entropy labels. A multipath information type 10 element includes either IP multipath information or label multipath information, as well as associated label multipath information that includes one or more entropy labels that map to the IP or label multipath information being returned.

    摘要: A method, apparatus, and computer-readable storage medium are disclosed for processing shared risk group (SRG) information in communications networks. The method includes processing, at a domain in a network, first network information comprising a plurality of SRG identifiers. The processing includes producing second network information comprising a smaller number of SRG identifiers than that of the plurality of SRG identifiers. The method further includes sending at least a portion of the second network information to a second domain in the network. The apparatus includes a network interface adapted to send network information comprising SRG information, a processor coupled to the network interface, and a memory coupled to the processor and adapted to store program instructions operable to carry out steps of the method. The storage medium is configured to store program instructions that when executed are configured to cause a processor to carry out steps of the method.

    摘要: In an embodiment, a method comprises: receiving a data communications packet comprising one or more labels in a label stack; determining whether a table identifier is present in the label stack. In response to determining that the table identifier is present in the label stack: based, at least in part, on the table identifier, a label table is determined; a next hop for the data communications packet is determined by performing a next-hop lookup in the label table using at least one of the one or more labels; and the data communications packet is forwarded to the next hop. In an embodiment, the method is performed by one or more computing devices.
