    摘要: A system and method is directed to synchronizing a standby route distributor in a distributed routing platform. A route distributor is configured to operate as an active route distributor. Another route distributor is configured to operate as a standby route distributor. The standby and active route distributor may reside in the same or a different distributed routing platform. A slave route distributor communicates a route to the active route distributor. The active route distributor may update its routing tables with the route. The active route distributor forwards the route to the standby route distributor to enable their routing tables to be substantially synchronized. The standby route distributor distributes the route to the slave route distributors, where the route enables an update to another routing table. In the event of a switchover, the standby route distributor resynchronizes its routing tables and may distribute route information to each slave route distributor.

    摘要: A system and method is directed to updating a route table in a distributed routing platform, thereby enabling multiple routing protocols to be executed on different routing modules. A slave route distributor on one routing module is configured to receive a route from a local route table and flow manager. The slave route distributor communicates the route to a master route distributor on another routing module by way of an inter process communications protocol. The master route distributor provides the route to its local route table and flow manager, where a determination is made whether the route is a best route. If the route is a best route, the master route distributor updates its external routing table. The master route distributor also distributes the route to another slave route distributor on yet another routing module, where the route enables an update to a remote routing protocol, and routing table.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a device in a computer network establishes a reliable map that defines a set of packet criteria for which reliability is desired over an unreliable link to a peer device. In response to receiving a first packet from the peer device over the unreliable link, the device acknowledges the first packet to the peer device when the first packet matches the packet criteria of the reliable map. Also, in response to receiving a second packet destined via the peer device over the unreliable link, the device buffers the second packet when the second packet matches the packet criteria of the reliable map and retransmits the buffered second packet over the unreliable link to the peer device until acknowledged by the peer device.

    摘要: In one embodiment, traffic flows through a root node of a primary directed acyclic graph (DAG) in a computer network are monitored to detect whether a particular traffic flow is above a path cost threshold. If so, then a corresponding source device may be instructed to cease using the primary DAG for the particular traffic flow, and specific action may be taken based on whether the particular traffic flow is point-to-point (P2P) or point-to-multipoint (P2MP). In particular, in response to the particular traffic flow being P2P, a source route may be computed and sent to the source device to cause the source device to use the source route for the particular traffic flow, while in response to the particular traffic flow being P2MP, the source device may be instructed to create a secondary DAG for the particular traffic flow with the source device as the secondary DAG root.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a management device in a computer network determines when nodes of the computer network join any one of a plurality of field area routers (FARs), which requires a shared-media mesh security key for that joined FAR. The management device also maintains a database that indicates to which FAR each node in the computer network is currently joined, and to which FARs, if any, each node had previously joined, where the nodes are configured to maintain the mesh security key for one or more previously joined FARs in order to return to those previously joined FARs with the maintained mesh security key. Accordingly, in response to an updated mesh security key for a particular FAR of the plurality of FARs, the management node initiates distribution of the updated mesh security key to nodes having previously joined that particular FAR that are not currently joined to that particular FAR.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a technique may enable control of routing convergence in a computer network during reboot of a node of a routing topology represented by a directed acyclic graph (DAG). The rebooting node, e.g., a DAG root node, may transmit a reboot notification message to nodes of the routing topology indicating that the rebooting node is unavailable during a subsequent reboot process. In response to receiving and processing the reboot notification message, the nodes of the routing topology may enter a DAG freeze state that inhibits (prevents) routing convergence in the routing topology during the reboot process so as prevent adverse consequences on network stability, such as collapse of the DAG. Thereafter upon completion of the reboot process, the rebooting node may transmit a clear message to the nodes of the routing topology that instructs the nodes to exit the DAG freeze state.
