    摘要: Synchronization of traffic multiplexing in link aggregation is described. In an embodiment, a first link aggregator and a second link aggregator are associated with a plurality of links. The first link aggregator maintains an identifier for each link indicating at least a state of enabled or disabled. A synchronized clock is established between the first link aggregator and the second link aggregator. A particular link of the plurality of links is transitioned. Wherein, the transitioning is performed by the first link aggregator sending, to the second link aggregator, a first message identifying a particular time to transition the particular link. The first link aggregator receives, from the second link aggregator, a second message indicating that the particular time is acceptable. In response to a determination that the second message indicates that the particular time is acceptable and that the synchronized clock has reached the particular time, transitioning the link.

    摘要: In one embodiment, one or more indicia of stress are monitored. Based on the one or more indicia of stress, it is determined a stress condition exists. In response to the stress condition, one or more link aggregation actors and partners are caused to enter a grace state for a grace period. While the one or more link aggregation actors and partners are in the grace state, link aggregation formation is paced on a plurality of links by delaying formation of one or more new link aggregation groups on the plurality of links until a hold is released. Upon expiration of the grace period, the grace state is exited.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a plurality of leaf switches that include host facing ports are configured as a cloud switch. An indication of connectivity between the leaf switches of the cloud switch and routing bridges (RBridges) external to the cloud switch may be added to link state packets (LSPs) sent over the at least one logical shared media link. A lookup table may be generated that specifies next hop leaf switches. The generated lookup table may be used to forward frames to one or more particular nexthop leaf switches. Further, traffic engineering parameters may be collected. Equal cost multipath (ECMP) nexthop leaf switches and distribution trees to reach one or more destinations may be examined. Traffic may be distributed across ones of them based on the traffic engineering parameters.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a layer-2 network that includes a cloud switch is partitioned into a plurality of segments, each segment including one or more cloud switch domains that are coupled via a logical port to a corresponding one of a plurality of internal logical shared media links. One of the internal logical shared media links is provisioned as a hub. One or more remaining internal logical shared media links are defaulted to be spokes. A spanning tree protocol (STP) is executed within each segment. The logical port of each cloud switch domain advertises a pseudo root bridge identifier (ID) to cause the internal logical shared media link to appear attached to a Root. The advertised pseudo root bridge ID of the hub is chosen to have a higher priority than the pseudo root bridge ID of the spokes to establish a hub and spoke relationship among the segments.

    摘要: An example method includes storing a portion of virtual PortChannel (vPC) information in a TRansparent Interconnect of Lots of Links network environment, deriving, from the portion of vPC information, a physical nickname of an edge switch to which a frame can be forwarded, and rewriting an egress nickname in a TRILL header of the frame with the physical nickname. In example embodiments, the vPC information can include respective vPC virtual nicknames, EtherChannel hash algorithms, hash values, and physical nicknames of edge switches associated with vPCs in the network environment. In some embodiments, the portion of vPC information can be derived from an Interested vPC Type Length Value (TLV) information of an Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) routing protocol data unit (PDU).
