Abstract:
The present disclosure describes systems and methods for propagating port state to intermediary devices of a cluster in a static link aggregation environment. The methods and systems include a cluster comprising a plurality of intermediary devices in communication with a network device via a static link aggregation comprising aggregated ports from different intermediary devices of the cluster. A first device of the static link aggregation is configured to detect that a health of the first device is below a predetermined threshold and, responsive to the detection, identify one or more ports in the aggregated ports as down. A second device of the link aggregation is configured to, responsive to the identification, remove the ports from a distribution list for the static link aggregation. Upon detection that a health of a device is above a predetermined threshold, the first device may identify the ports as up.
Abstract:
Described embodiments provide for minimizing packet discarding in case of spiky traffic reception by using adaptive buffers. Transmission buffers may be adjusted based on traffic behavior, with the buffer size dynamically expanding or shrinking as needed, providing a cushion to hold extra packets when a buffer drain rate is slower than the buffer arrival rate.
