    摘要: Methods of balancing network packet traffic among multiple checking functionalities (CFs) are described. A network has at least one client operatively connected to at least one source switch and multiple available CFs operatively connected to at least one destination switch. Each available CF has predetermined, but possibly different inspection capabilities. A source switch receiving packets from a client inspects each packet and can optionally choose an available CF having at least the minimum necessary inspection capabilities to inspect the particular packet, and tunnel the packet to the chosen CF.

    摘要: Methods for controlling a Designated Forwarder (DF) election in a multicast network are described herein. The multicast network includes a plurality of multicast network devices, including a first network device and a second network device. A Designated Forwarder is determined. It is determined whether to initiate a Designated Forwarder election based on a comparison of a metric measuring a distance to a Rendezvous Point Address from a first network device and a metric measuring the distance to the Rendezvous Point Address from the second network device.

    摘要: A method for checking expected network traffic is disclosed. The method for checking expected network traffic includes accessing pre-registered expected results of a network traffic checking exercise that include expected packet content verification information for individual packets of the network traffic. In addition, the method includes accessing network traffic where individual packets of the network traffic include actual packet content verification information. Individual packets are identified that have expected packet content verification information that does not match their actual packet content verification information and individual packets are identified that have expected packet content verification information that does match their actual packet content verification information.

    摘要: A network, network devices, and methods are described for packet processing indication. A method includes tunneling a packet from a first network device to a second network device associated with a first checking functionality. The second network device has an address different than an original destination address of the packet. The method also includes return-tunneling the packet from the second network device to the first network device with an indication of whether the packet was processed by the first checking functionality. The method includes tunneling the packet from the first network device to a third network device associated with a second checking functionality in response to the indication being that the packet was not processed by the first checking functionality. The third network device has an address different from the original destination address of the packet.
