摘要: A packet forwarding method includes obtaining, by a network device, a first tunnel identifier of a first packet. When the first tunnel identifier is a first value, and forwarding, by the network device, the first packet based on a first routing group in a virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) table. The first routing group consists of one or more local routes, and each next-hop outbound interface of the one or more local routes is a local outbound interface. The network device forwards the packet based on a local routing group including only a local route in the VRF table such that the packet is forwarded to a local virtual machine for processing, and is not forwarded to another tunnel endpoint device during packet forwarding.

摘要: Some embodiments provide a method for maintaining a virtual network that spans at least one cloud datacenter separate from multi-machine edge nodes of an entity. This method configures a gateway in the cloud datacenter to establish secure connections with several edge devices at several multi-machine edge nodes (e.g., branch offices, datacenters, etc.) in order to establish the virtual network. The method configures the gateway to assess quality of connection links with different edge devices, and to terminate a secure connection with a particular edge device for a duration of time after the assessed quality of the connection link to the particular edge device is worse than a threshold value. In some embodiments, the gateway is configured to distribute routes to edge devices at the edge nodes, and to forgo distributing any route to the particular edge device along the connection link for the duration of time when the assessed quality of the connection link is worse than (e.g., less than) a threshold value. In different embodiments, the gateway assesses the quality of the connection link based on different factors or different combinations of factors. Examples of such factors in some embodiments include the following attributes of a connection link: packet loss, latency, signal jitter, etc. Also, the routes that the gateway distributes in some embodiments include routes that the edge devices distribute to the gateway, as well as routes that the gateway learns on its own.

摘要: The disclosure provides an approach for in-place conversion of a virtual switch on a host. Techniques are provided for in-place conversion of a virtual switch from a first type of virtual switch to a destination type of virtual switch. A method includes rekeying, by a second manager agent, one or more uplink ports associated with one or more logical switches implemented by the virtual on the host with the unique identifier. The rekeying includes updating one or more existing uplink port identifiers assigned to the one or more uplink ports with the unique identifier associated with a first manager agent. The method includes removing, by the first manager agent, an association of the one or more uplink ports with the opaque network; and informing the first manager and the second manager that the virtual switch is of the destination type of virtual switch.

摘要: A method for generating an application-aware virtual topology (AAVT) routing table for a network device among network devices connected via a wide area network is provided. The method is executed by a network controller connected to the network and includes: receiving, from the network devices, path information of the network devices; generating, using the path information, an underlay graph specifying a path topology of the network device; generating, based on the path topology specified in the underlay graph, the AAVT routing table for the network device where the AAVT routing table includes a set of paths; and transmitting, in response to generating the AAVT routing table, the AAVT routing table to the network device to cause the network device to program the set of paths.

摘要: Described herein are systems, methods, and software to manage state information and failover between edge gateways (edges) in a computing environment. In one example, a first edge receives state information associated with one or more logical routers on a second edge. The first edge further identifies a failure in association with the second edge and, in response to the failure, make one or more logical routers available in the first edge to operate in place of the one or more logical routers in the second edge based on the state information.

摘要: The present application relates to traffic routing for overlay paths in a public cloud network. A path orchestrator receives a configuration of a set of overlay paths for a wide area network virtualization from a client, each overlay path including virtual routing nodes associated with respective geographic regions and at least one policy for a link between the virtual routing nodes. The path orchestrator is configured to instantiate a plurality of virtual routers on computing resources of the public cloud network located within the respective geographic regions based on the configuration, each virtual router configured to route traffic according to the policy for each link associated with the virtual routing node corresponding to the virtual router. The path orchestrator is configured to scale the plurality of virtual routers based on traffic for the client on the set of overlay paths.

摘要: In one embodiment, a method is performed at a node in a multi-site enterprise fabric. The method includes obtaining map entries from a fabric control plane of the multi-site enterprise fabric, where the map entries are associated with identifiers of endpoints in external networks, site and virtual network identifiers of sites in the multi-site enterprise fabric, location identifiers of border nodes, and characteristics of the border nodes. The method further includes receiving a request from a source to connect to an external endpoint. After deriving an external endpoint identifier and source parameters, the method additionally includes establishing at least one connection between the source and the external endpoint via border node(s) that are selected from the map entries based at least in part on the source parameters, the external endpoint identifier, and characteristics of the border node(s) with their site and virtual network identifier(s) along the at least one connection.

摘要: One embodiment of the present invention provides a switch system. The switch includes a port that couples to a server hosting a number of virtual machines. The switch also includes a link tracking module. During operation, the link tracking module determines that reachability to at least one end host coupled to a virtual cluster switch of which the switch is a member is disrupted. The link tracking module then determines that at least one virtual machine coupled to the port is affected by the disrupted reachability, and communicates to the server hosting the affected virtual machine about the disrupted reachability.
