    摘要: In one embodiment, a device-independent label is associated with multiple network devices such that the packet switching devices in a network will forward a packet based on the device-independent label to one of these multiple network devices. In one embodiment, these device-independent labels include, but are not limited to, domain-identifying labels and forwarding-punt labels. In one embodiment, a domain-identifying label is defined as a label that identifies a plurality of network nodes without identifying a single particular network node, single particular interface, nor single particular link. In one embodiment, a first-domain forwarding-punt label is placed at the top of the label stack to identify to forward the label-switched packet to any one of a plurality of designated forwarding nodes corresponding to the first-domain forwarding-punt label (e.g., for sending to a packet switching device which will have forwarding information for the second domain-identifying label.).

    摘要: In one embodiment, packet labels are used to identify synchronization groups of packets, such as for, but not limited to, performing processing of packets based on their corresponding synchronization group, as the synchronization label of a packet may define a current characteristic of the packet stream which is taken into account performing processing related to the packet. A plurality of synchronization groups of packets are generated and sent, by a first packet switching device, to a second packet switching device, with each particular packet of the plurality of synchronization groups of packets including a same synchronization label in a label stack of said particular packet that is different than a synchronization label used with another of the plurality of synchronization groups of packets, and with each synchronization group of the plurality of synchronization groups of packets including a plurality of packets.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a replacement network communications path is determined using dedicated resources of an existing path. One or more network elements in a network determines a new communications path between a first network node and a second network node in the network while an existing communications path is currently configured in the network to carry traffic between the first and second network nodes. The existing communications path includes one or more exclusive physical resources dedicated to the existing communications path. The new communications path includes at least one of said exclusive physical resources dedicated to the existing communications path. One embodiment includes: subsequent to said determining the new communications path, removing the existing communications path from service, and then instantiating the new communications path, with the new communications path including said at least one of said exclusive physical resources.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a list of border node next hop options is maintained in a memory. The list of border node next hop options includes one or more of border nodes that may be utilized to reach one or more prefixes. An index value is associated with each border node of the list of border node next hop options. A list of labels is also maintained in the memory. The index value of each border node is associated with a corresponding label for a path to reach that border node. When a change to the one or more border nodes is detected, the list of border node next hop options is updated to remove a border node. However, a label for the path to reach the border node is maintained in the list of labels for at least a period of time.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a device (e.g., a path computation element, PCE) monitors a tunnel set-up failure rate within a computer network, and determines whether to adjust an accuracy of routing information based on the tunnel set-up failure rate. For instance, the tunnel set-up failure rate being above a first threshold indicates a need for greater accuracy. In response to the tunnel set-up failure rate being above the first threshold, the device may then instruct one or more routers to shorten their routing update interval in the computer network.

    摘要: In one embodiment, an edge device of a core network may receive a plurality of packets from a peripheral network having a plurality of active connections to the core network, where each packet has a destination address and a source address. The edge device may compute a hash on the destination address or the source address of each packet, and determine whether the computed hash corresponds to the edge device. In response to the computed hash not corresponding to the edge device, the edge device may drop the packet, and in response to the computed hash corresponding to the edge device, the edge device may process the packet to forward the packet, where the dropping and processing load balances the plurality of packets over the active connections and prevents formation of loops in the core network.
