    摘要: A method and apparatus are presented supporting shortest path first (SPF) routing of data packets over a network by establishing link-state data at an router. Link-state data indicates direct links between the router and a different router and establishes an adjacency relationship with the different node. Initial link-state data is stored at a first router. After the initial link-state data is stored, a hello message is received at the first router. The hello message indicates a direct connection with a different second router on one network segment. Based on the initial link-state data, it is determined whether establishing an adjacency relationship with the second router is sufficiently valuable. If not, then an adjacency relationship is not established with the second router in response to the hello message. A shortest path first routing for a data packet traversing the network is determined based on one or more adjacency relationships indicated in link-state data stored at the first router.

    摘要: Each router in a network is configured for generating router advertisement messages according to a flooding distance vector routing protocol. Each router advertisement message output according to the flooding distance vector routing protocol includes reachability information for at least one destination, and an originating router identifier indicating a router having originated the reachability information. If any router receiving the router advertisement message detects a match between the originating router identifier and the corresponding assigned router identifier, the received router advertisement message is disregarded during calculation of the best paths from the network. If the originating router identifier identifies another router, the router floods the received router advertisement message to other ports, and output its own router advertisement message based on the received router advertisement message and that specifies the originating router identifier from the received router advertisement message.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are presented for determining network nodes for aggregating addresses in routing information used for routing data packets over a network. Link data and reachability data are received. Link data indicates direct links between each of multiple candidate routers of a network and a different router or a network segment. Reachability data indicates a set of one or more contiguous network addresses that can be reached on each link described in the link data. A measure of possible aggregation of contiguous network addresses is determined at the candidate routers based on the link data and the reachability data. A preferred router to aggregate addresses in routing information sent between routers in the network is determined among the candidate routers based on the measure of possible aggregation at each candidate router.

    摘要: A method for communicating packets in a network environment is provided that includes receiving a packet at a network element and identifying a sequence number included in the packet that correlates to awareness information associated with one or more adjacent network elements. A table included in the network element may be updated in order to account for the awareness information included within the packet that has not been accounted for by the network element. In cases where the awareness information included in the packet has already been accounted for, the packet may be ignored.

    摘要: Techniques for synchronizing routing data include determining whether conditions are satisfied for one-way transfer with an adjacent router. If it is determined that conditions are satisfied for one-way transfer of routing table data with the adjacent router, then a refresh-notice message is sent from the initiating router to the adjacent router. The refresh-notice message includes data that indicates a particular direction for transfer of routing table data. If the particular direction is inbound, then a copy of an adjacent routing table is received without sending a copy of the initiating router's own routing table. If the particular direction is outbound, then a copy of the own routing table is sent without receiving a copy of the adjacent routing table.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving on a first communication link at a local router all routing information at a certain level of detail for each router of multiple routers communicating in a first flooding domain. A measure of distance is determined from a particular router in the first flooding domain to the local router. It is determined whether the measure of distance exceeds a threshold. If the measure of distance exceeds the threshold, then summary routing information with less than the certain level of detail is determined for the particular router. Also, certain routing information is sent over a different second communication link at the local router. The certain routing information includes the summary information for the particular router, and all routing information at the certain level of detail for a subset of routers communicating in the first flooding domain, which subset excludes the particular router.
