    摘要: A SoftRouter architecture deconstructs routers by separating the control entities of a router from its forwarding components, enabling dynamic binding between them. In the SoftRouter architecture, control plane functions are aggregated and implemented on a few smart servers which control forwarding elements that are multiple network hops away. A dynamic binding protocol performs network-wide control plane failovers. Network stability is improved by aggregating and remotely hosting routing protocols, such as OSPF and BGP. This results in faster convergence, lower protocol messages processed, and fewer route changes following a failure. The SoftRouter architecture includes a few smart control entities that manage a large number of forwarding elements to provide greater support for network-wide control. In the SoftRouter architecture, routing protocols operate remotely at a control element and control one or more forwarding elements by downloading the forwarding tables, etc. into the forwarding elements. Intra-domain routing and inter-domain routing are also included.

    摘要: The SoftRouter architecture separates the implementation of control plane functions from packet forwarding functions. In this architecture, all control plane functions are implemented on general purpose servers called the control elements (CEs) that may be multiple hops away from the forwarding elements (FEs). A network element (NE) or a router is formed using dynamic binding between the CEs and the FEs. There is a protocol failover mechanism for handling failovers initiated by FEs to transfer control from one CE to another CE.

    摘要: The invention includes methods for controlling transmission of a plurality of packets from a sending device to a receiving device. A first method includes determining an expected path for a packet having associated with it a packet size, determining a Media Transmission Unit (MTU) size for the expected path, and, in response to a determination that the packet size is greater than the MTU size, propagating to the sending device a message adapted to reduce packet sizes of subsequent packets to be less than or equal to the MTU size. Other methods include generating a link state advertisement (LSA) for a link including a link TLV having a sub-TVL conveying MTU information associated with the link, transmitting the LSA toward a router, receiving the LSA at the router, and updating a table entry associated with the link using the MTU information conveyed by the sub-TLV.
