摘要:
A network system that reduces the computational resources to centrally-control network nodes in a border gateway protocol (BGP) network. More particularly, the systems and methods describe the control of a plurality of individual network nodes by a centralized controller, and the use of a route control server (RCS), which is connected to the centralized controller, or OpenFlow Controller (OFC). By treating the plurality of individual network nodes as a single combined network node, the route control server is able communicate using a single BGP speaker, and hence, reduce the computational resources from that required to run an individual BGP speaker for each individual network node.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus for efficiently enabling routing states to be recovered after a failover or during a software upgrade in a system which supports graceful restart and stateful switchover are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, a method for restarting a network device which has a plurality of routers and is in communication with a first peer being arranged to support graceful restart and a second peer includes performing a graceful restart with respect to the first peer. A peer transparent failover is performed with respect to the second peer. The graceful restart and the peer transparent failover are performed in response to a failure associated with the network device.
摘要:
A system, apparatus, and method for link layer address resolution of overlapping network addresses is disclosed. In one aspect, the method performed on a first device includes receiving a first address resolution request from a second device, the first address resolution request having a sender network address and a target network address, wherein the target network address is an overlapping network address that is a gateway address of the second device and a network address of a third device, creating a first address resolution response having a sender link layer address associated with the first device, and sending the first address resolution response to the second device.
