    摘要: A method and apparatus for providing information in a network by way of a Pseudowire switching TLV is presented. A second device in the network receives a first message having information relating to a first device in the network. The second device appends information relating to the second device (by way of a Pseudowire switching TLV) to the first message, resulting in a second message. The second message is then forwarded to a third device in the network.

    摘要: Conventional network packet traffic loss/drop monitoring mechanisms, such as that employed for pseudowire, IP flow and tunnel traffic monitoring, do not process or diagnose the aggregate counts from both endpoints of a particular pseudowire. A packet loss and detection mechanism periodically exchanges traffic packet counts to maintain an accurate diagnosis of the pseudowire health from either endpoint. Further, the raw packet counts are analyzed to identify misrouted and lost packets, as both should be considered to assess network health and congestion. The pseudowire statistics are maintained for each pseudowire emanating from a particular edge router, providing a complete view of pseudowire traffic affecting a particular edge router. Such statistics are beneficial for problem detection, diagnosis, and for verification of throughput criteria such as those expressed in Quality of Service (QOS) terms and/or SLAs (service level agreements).

    摘要: In an example embodiment, a method is provided to receive a request message. A client that transmitted the request message then is identified. Here, the client is associated with a client identifier. The client identifier is inserted into a response message, and this response message includes a redirect to a portal. The response message then is transmitted.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for configuring a network interface to support a virtual private network includes storing configuration data at a server on a host computer on the provider network. It is determined whether conditions are satisfied for sending the configuration data to a particular node at an edge of the provider network. If it is determined that conditions are satisfied, then the configuration data is sent to the particular node to cause the particular node to configure a particular interface for supporting a virtual private network over the provider network based on the configuration data without human intervention. The provider network is a packet-switched network and the particular virtual private network is a link layer virtual private network. The particular node is different from the host. The particular interface is for a direct communication link to a customer network node outside the provider network.

    摘要: A method and system for verifying the availability of a back-up virtual private network IP security (IPSec) tunnel between two network elements by originating a plurality of connection tests between the network elements. The first network element transmits a backup tunnel verification test message to the second network element over the back-up secure tunnel upon receipt of a backup tunnel verification test command. The back-up secure tunnel includes two unidirectional tunnels. The second network element receives the back-up tunnel verification test message over the first back-up unidirectional secure tunnel and transmits a response back to the first network element over the second back-up unidirectional secure tunnel. The number of failures to respond by the second network element to the backup tunnel verification tests performed during an active verification period specified in the backup tunnel verification test command are reported back to the source that initiated the back-up secure tunnel verification test.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for processing a signal on an intermediate network node at an edge of a provider packet-switched network to support a link-layer virtual private network includes receiving a signal on a particular interface. The particular interface is for a direct communication link to a customer network node outside the provider network. It is determined whether the signal indicates that the particular interface is changing from an inactive state to an active state, whereby the signal is called first sign of life (FSOL). If it is determined that the signal is FSOL, then configuration data is determined for configuring the particular interface for the particular virtual private network. The signal is processed based on the configuration data. These techniques allow a dynamic response to new signals on a customer interface without human intervention by the provider.

It is determined without human intervention whether conditions are satisfied for sending the configuration data to a particular node at an edge of the provider network without receiving a request message from the particular node. If it is determined that conditions are satisfied, then the configuration data is sent to the particular node to cause the particular node to configure a particular interface for supporting a virtual private network over the provider network based on the configuration data. The particular node is different from the host. These techniques allow changes in configuration data to be pushed to provider edge nodes without human intervention.
