    摘要: Techniques are described which facilitate multi-destination forwarding in a Layer 2 Multipath (L2MP) network which includes an emulated switch. The emulated switch may correspond to two or more underlying peer link switches in the L2MP network, in which each of the peer link switches is linked to a Classical Ethernet (CE) switch over a virtual port channel (vPC). Traffic received by one of the peer link switches over the vPC is automatically forwarded to the other peer link switch (or switches). Multi-destination frames originating from the L2MP network addressed to hosts within the CE network are sent over only one of the peer link switches.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a method includes obtaining an indication that a state associated with a node is to be changed and preventing data from being received on a first link. The method also includes updating at least one selected from a group including an incoming interface check (IIC) table and an outgoing interface (OIF) table to reflect the state. The state indicates that a second link is to be activated. Finally, the method includes allowing the data to be received on the second link after updating either or both the IIC table and the OIF table and after the timer duration for the NULL value for IIC has expired.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a method includes establishing a link between two N_Port Identifier Virtualization (NPIV) switches, the link having a high cost assigned thereto. The NPIV switches are in communication with a plurality of hosts through an N_Port Virtualization (NPV) device. The method further includes receiving at a first of the NPIV switches, an indication of a failure at a second of the NPIV switches, receiving data at the first NPIV switch, the data destined for one of the hosts associated with a domain of the second NPIV switch, and forwarding the data to the NPV device for delivery to the host, wherein a Fibre Channel Identifier (FCID) of the host is the same before and after the failure at the second NPIV switch. An apparatus is also disclosed.

    摘要: Consistent with embodiments of the present disclosure, systems and methods are disclosed for providing per-group ECMP for multidestination traffic in a DCE/TRILL network. Embodiments enable per-group load balancing of multidestination traffic in DCE/L2MP networks by creating a new IS-IS PDU to convey the affinity of the parent node for a given multicast group. For broadcast and unknown unicast flooded traffic, the load balancing may be done on a per-vlan basis.
