    摘要: In one embodiment, micro-loops are avoided in ring topologies of packet switching devices by changing the order of propagation of link state information concerning failed communications between a particular packet switching device and a neighbor packet switching device. In one embodiment, the particular packet switching device communicates link state information of a high cost of the particular communications (e.g., in the direction from particular to neighbor packet switching devices) such that this link state information will propagate towards the particular packet switching device from at least from the furthest packet switching device in the ring topology that is currently configured to forward packets having a destination address of the neighbor packet switching device through the particular packet switching device.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a packet switching device is configured to convert an Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) destination address, of a received particular IPv6 packet, to a second, shorter destination address. This second destination address is then used to determine forwarding information for the received IPv6 packet, which is forwarded accordingly. In one embodiment, this second address is a 32-bit address, and in particular, an Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) address. Thus, one embodiment can use the IPv4 forwarding infrastructure of a packet switching device for determining how to forward IPv6 packets. In a network according to one embodiment, packets are encapsulated in an IPv6 packet using an IPv6 destination address (that can be converted to an IPv4 address) of an egress edge packet switching device. Thus, core packet switching devices can forward IPv6 packets using IPv4 lookup operations.
