    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to a method comprising receiving, at a first label manager of a first network device, a first request to allocate a first label for a first route prefix for a first protocol, wherein the first network device and a second network device are part of a virtualized network device. The method includes receiving, at a second label manager of the second network device, a second request to determine the first label for the first route prefix for the first protocol, wherein the second request originates from the first label manager and determining, at the second label manager, the first label for the first route prefix for the first protocol. The method includes transmitting, the first label to the first label manager and transmitting, by the first label manager, the first label to a label management protocol corresponding to the first protocol, in response to the first request.

    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to a grace link state advertisement (LSA) from a virtual stack device. In an example, a first member network device of a virtual stack device may an input from a Multi-Active Detection (MAD) device. The virtual stack device may be a logical network device comprising the first member network device and a second member network device. Based on the input from the MAD device, the first member network device may determine whether a grace link state advertisement (LSA) is to be sent to a neighbor Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) enabled router by the first member network device, wherein the neighbor OSPF enabled router is an OSPF neighbor to the virtual stack device.

    Abstract: A switch that can report unavailability in a label-switched network is provided. During operation, the switch can determine that a label-switched path is unavailable for forwarding a packet. The switch can then generate a notification message for collecting unavailability information at a respective upstream hop of the label-switched path. The notification message includes a depth indicator indicating the depth of collected unavailability information and an ingress label of the packet at the switch. If the switch is an intermediate switch on the label-switched path, the switch can forward the notification message to an upstream switch on the label-switched path, thereby allowing the upstream switch to collect further unavailability information in the notification message.

    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to black hole filtering. In an example, a dynamic routing protocol on a network device may determine whether a route learned by the dynamic routing protocol is a black hole route. In an example, the route may be learned through another source. In response to a determination that the route learned by the dynamic routing protocol is the black hole route, the dynamic routing protocol may generate a routing update that indicates the route as the black hole route. The dynamic routing protocol may then advertise the routing update to each neighbor network device.

    Abstract: Methods and systems configured for fast failover in ISP peering are disclosed herein. One method comprises: establishing a fault detection protocol session between a first router and a second router, the first and second routers being computing network peers; the first router responding to a data communication connection between the first router and a first provider edge router going down by altering a status of the fault detection protocol session to a changed status; and the second router responding to the changed status of the fault detection protocol session by rerouting traffic served by the first provider edge router to a second provider edge router.

    Abstract: In some examples, a first router establishes a fault detection session between the first router connected to a routing area and an outside router assigned a forwarding address, the outside router located outside the routing area, and the forwarding address used by a second router of the routing area to send a data packet to the outside router. The first router detects, in the fault detection session, a fault associated with the outside router, and in response to detecting the fault associated with the outside router in the fault detection session, provides an indication to the routing area that the forwarding address is no longer accessible.
