摘要： A path verification protocol (PVP) which enumerates a series of messages sent to a set of nodes, or routers, along a suspected path identifies forwarding plane problems for effecting changes at the control plane level. The messages include a command requesting interrogation of a further remote node for obtaining information about the path between the node receiving the PVP message and the further remote node. The node receiving the PVP message replies with a command response indicative of the outcome of attempts to reach the further remote node. The series of messages collectively covers a set of important routing points along a path from the originator to the recipient. The aggregate command responses to the series of PVP messages is analyzed to identify not only whether the entire path is operational, but also the location and nature of the problem.

摘要： A data communication device (e.g., a router) originates a network configuration message in response to a network topology change or so as to refresh a configuration message. The data communication device encodes a timestamp in the network configuration message. The timestamp indicates a time of originating the network configuration message. Further, the data communication device transmits the network configuration message over the network to other network devices that, in turn, initiate further broadcast of at least a portion of contents of the network configuration message. Based on the timestamp of the network configuration message, the data communication devices receiving the network configuration message identify transmission time value indicating how long the network configuration message takes to be conveyed over the network to the other network devices. The data communication devices utilize the transmission time value as a timeout period for determining whether a data communication device failure occurs.

摘要： A path verification protocol (PVP) which enumerates a series of messages sent to a set of nodes, or routers, along a network path identifies connectivity and transmission characteristic attributes by defining, implementing, and analyzing path verification messages (PVMs) in a VPN environment. Typical VPN environments are characterized by service level agreements (SLAs) between service providers which specify particular service level and/or bandwidth level guarantees, typically in terms of megabits per second (MB/s) or other qualitative transfer criteria. Such guarantees are often expressed in contractual terms as Quality of Service (QoS) criteria. Configurations herein provide a mechanism for determination of paths and/or routes that satisfy a QoS or other delivery speed/bandwidth guarantee. Such a mechanism may therefore be employed to perform routing decisions for QoS based traffic. Further, such a mechanism is employable to verify QoS levels and related attributes related to contractual terms between service providers and customers.
摘要翻译： 路径验证协议（PVP），其列举沿着网络路径发送到一组节点或路由器的一系列消息，通过在VPN环境中定义，实现和分析路径验证消息（PVM）来识别连接性和传输特性属性 。 典型的VPN环境的特征在于服务提供商之间的服务级别协议（SLA），其指定特定服务级别和/或带宽级别保证，通常以兆比特每秒（MB / s）或其他定性传输标准。 这种保证通常以合同条款表示为服务质量（QoS）标准。 本文中的配置提供了用于确定满足QoS或其他传送速度/带宽保证的路径和/或路由的机制。 因此可以采用这种机制来执行基于QoS的业务的路由决策。 此外，这种机制可用于验证与服务提供商和客户之间的合同条款相关的QoS等级和相关属性。

摘要： Customer edge (CE) to CE device verification checks initiate routes from available CEs as a set of path verification messages, destined for remote CE routes serving a remote VPN. An extended community attribute, included among the attributes of the path verification message, stores the identity of the originating CE router. The path verification message propagates across the network, and transports the identity of the originating CE router because the originator identity is not overwritten by successive routing. Upon receipt by the remote CE, the originator is determinable from the extended community attribute. A further reachability field is also included in the extended community attribute and indicates whether per CE or per prefix is appropriate for the particular route in question. In this manner, CE-CE connectivity checks identify CEs which are reachable from other CEs. Accordingly, such a mechanism allows for route reachability aggregation on a per-CE or per-prefix reachability basis.

摘要： In one embodiment, a particular device in a computer network maintains a locally owned tunnel-state table, and joins a distributed hash table (DHT) ring. In addition, the locally owned tunnel-state table is shared with other devices of the DHT ring to establish a DHT-owned tunnel-state table. The particular device (and other devices) determines ownership of link-state advertisements (LSAs) for a specific portion of a traffic engineering database (TED) according to the DHT ring. As such, when the particular device (or any device) computes a path for a tunnel using a local TED, the particular device may request permission to use resources along the computed path that were advertised in particular LSAs from owners of those particular LSAs when not owned by the particular device.

摘要： A technique dynamically resizes Traffic Engineering (TE) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) at a head-end node of the TE-LSPs in preparation to receive redirected traffic in response to an event in a computer network. The novel dynamic TE-LSP resizing technique is based on the detection of an event in the network that could cause traffic destined for one or more other (“remote”) head-end nodes of one or more TE-LSPs to be redirected to an event-detecting (“local”) head-end node of one or more TE-LSPs. An example of such a traffic redirection event is failure of a remote head-end node or failure of any of its TE-LSPs. Specifically, the local head-end node maintains TE-LSP steady state sampling and resizing frequencies to adapt the bandwidth of its TE-LSP(s) to gradual changes in the network over time. Upon detection of an event identifying possible traffic redirection, the local head-end node enters a Fast Resize (FR) state, in which the sampling and resizing frequencies are increased to quickly adapt the TE-LSP bandwidth(s) to any received redirected traffic.

摘要： A local fast reroute (FRR) technique is implemented at the edge of a computer network. In accordance with the technique, if an edge device detects a node or link failure that prevents it from communicating with a neighboring routing domain, the edge device reroutes at least some data packets addressed to that domain to a backup edge device which, in turn, forwards the packets to the neighboring domain. The rerouted packets are designated as being “protected” (i.e., rerouted) data packets before they are forwarded to the backup edge device. The backup edge device identifies protected data packets as those which contain a predetermined “service” label in their MPLS label stacks. In other words, the service label is used as an identifier for packets that have been FRR rerouted. Upon receiving a data packet containing a service label, the backup edge device is not permitted to reroute the packet a second time, e.g., in response to another inter-domain node or link failure, thereby preventing loops from developing at the edge of the network.

摘要： A fast reroute (FRR) technique that may be deployed at the edge of a network having first and second edge devices coupled to a neighboring routing domain. If the first edge device detects a node or link failure that prevents it from communicating with the neighboring domain, the first edge device reroutes at least some data packets addressed to the neighboring domain to the second edge device. The second edge device receives the rerouted packets and then forwards the packets to the neighboring domain. Notably, the second edge device is not permitted to reroute the received packets a second time, e.g., upon identifying another inter-domain node or link failure. As such, loops are avoided at the edge of the network and packets are rerouted to the neighboring routing domain faster and more efficiently than in prior implementations.

摘要： A technique for calculating local repair paths through a computer network using one or more dynamically measured parameters in place of, or in addition to, statically assigned cost metrics. The dynamically measured parameters include various statistical measures of resources and attributes associated with data links and/or network nodes in the computer network. In operation, an intermediate node monitors a set of local link and/or node parameters. The node may generate an advertisement in response to at least one of its monitored parameters crossing a predetermined threshold value or changing value by a predetermined percentage or amount. The advertisement is “flooded” so as to advertise the dynamically measured parameter value to other neighboring intermediate nodes. After receiving the advertisement, each node may recalculate one or more local repair paths based on the advertised parameter value. The node may utilize a recalculated repair path if it provides an appreciably lower-cost path, e.g., by a predetermined percentage, as compared with the currently deployed repair path.

摘要： A system and method for advertising out-of-resources (OOR) conditions for entities, such as nodes, line cards and data links, in a manner that does not involve using a maximum cost to indicate the entity is “out-of-resources.” According to the technique, an OOR condition for an entity is advertised in one or more type-length-value (TLV) objects contained in an advertisement message. The advertisement message is flooded to nodes on a data network to inform them of the entity's OOR condition. Head-end nodes that process the advertisement message may use information contained in the TLV object to determine a path for a new label switched path (LSP) that does not include the entity associated with the OOR condition.
