    Abstract: A device receives network information associated with a network and server information associated with one or more server devices, wherein the network is associated with a network device and the one or more server devices. The device generates, based on the network information and the server information, an encapsulation profile for a tunnel encapsulation path and a route profile for the tunnel encapsulation path. The device provides, to the network device, the encapsulation profile for the tunnel encapsulation path and the route profile for the tunnel encapsulation path, and provides, to the one or more server devices, the encapsulation profile for the tunnel encapsulation path. The tunnel encapsulation path is provided between the network device and the one or more server devices, via the network, based on the encapsulation profile for the tunnel encapsulation path and the route profile for the tunnel encapsulation path.

    Abstract: A network device receives a packet with a multicast nexthop identifier, and creates a mask that includes addresses of egress packet forwarding engines, of the network device, to which to provide the packet. The network device divides the mask into two portions, generates two copies of the packet, provides a first portion of the mask in a first copy of the packet, and provides a second portion of the mask in a second copy of the packet. The network device also forwards the first copy of the packet to an address of a first egress packet forwarding engine provided in the first portion of the mask, and forwards the second copy of the packet to an address of a second egress packet forwarding engine provided in the second portion of the mask.

    Abstract translation: 网络设备接收具有多播下一标识符的分组,并创建包括提供分组的网络设备的出站分组转发引擎的地址的掩码。 网络设备将掩码分成两部分,生成分组的两个副本,在分组的第一副本中提供该掩码的第一部分,并在分组的第二副本中提供该掩码的第二部分。 网络设备还将分组的第一副本转发到在掩码的第一部分中提供的第一出口分组转发引擎的地址,并将分组的第二副本转发到提供的第二出口分组转发引擎的地址 掩模的第二部分。
