    摘要: In one embodiment, distributed path computation elements (PCEs) collaboratively build local portions of an inter-domain P2MP path to each path destination or to each ingress border router of one or more respective successor domains based on a cost associated with using one or more local ingress border routers received from each predecessor domain. Once a furthest destination is reached, each PCE may recursively return a list of local ingress border routers used in the P2MP path to each predecessor domain, where each PCE receiving the list correspondingly prunes segments of its computed local portion of the P2MP path that lead to unused successor ingress border routers, and sends a prune message to its predecessor domains accordingly. A root PCE receives the final prune message(s) and a representation of each locally computed portion of the inter-domain P2MP path, and combines the portions into a final inter-domain P2MP path.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a target bandwidth, a lower bandwidth boundary constraint, and an upper cost boundary constraint for a constrained path are configured. A set of paths are computed that have bandwidth within the lower bandwidth boundary constraint and cost within the upper cost boundary constraint. A determination is made whether one or more paths of the set of paths has bandwidth that provides at least the target bandwidth and, if so, a path from the one or more paths of the set of paths having bandwidth that provides at least the target bandwidth is selected to use as the constrained path, and, if not, a path from the one or more paths of the set having bandwidth that does not provide at least the target bandwidth that has bandwidth closest to the target bandwidth is selected to use as the constrained path.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a target bandwidth, a lower boundary constraint on bandwidth, and an upper boundary constraint on cost are configured on a path computation device. The device may then compute a set of paths that is within the lower bandwidth boundary and upper cost boundary constraints. If the set of paths contains one or more paths, the device may select a path having a bandwidth value that is closest to the target bandwidth. However if the set of paths contains no paths, the device may search amongst paths that violate either the maximum cost or minimum bandwidth limits, selecting the path closest to the violated constraint (e.g., whose combined violation is minimized). Also, a weighting factor may be configured to establish the relative importance for a cost violation in comparison to a bandwidth violation.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a routing node (e.g., a head-end node) determines a desire to route a selected tunnel (e.g., reroute), and computes a path for the selected tunnel. The routing node probes the path to discover information about tunnels that would be displaced by the selected tunnel if routed over the path (e.g., a number of tunnels), and correspondingly determines whether to establish the selected tunnel based on the information about the tunnels to be displaced. In another embodiment, intermediate nodes along the probed path of the selected tunnel may receive a probe (e.g., signaling message) requesting information about the tunnels that would be displaced by the selected tunnel. In response, each intermediate node inserts the information about the tunnels to be displaced at the intermediate node into the probe, and forwards the probe (e.g., toward the routing node initiating the probe).

    摘要: In one embodiment, a tunnel mesh probe, initiated for a computer network having a tunnel mesh, may be received at a first tail-end node of a probed tunnel. In response, the first tail-end node processes the probe, and forwards the probe to another tail-end node of a non-probed tunnel selected from a plurality of tunnels of the tunnel mesh for which the first tail-end node is a head-end node. Illustratively, once the probe is received at its initiating node, and in response to determining that the initiating node is a head-end node for only probed tunnels, the tunnel mesh probe is completed, having probed all tunnels of the tunnel mesh.
