Abstract: The techniques describe a network device comprising one or more processors configured to: receive configuration data configuring a plurality of virtual network nodes, wherein the configuration data configures a virtual client node including a corresponding line card having a port connected to a first customer network device, and configures a virtual core node including a corresponding line card having a port connected to a core network; provision a layer-2 (L2) circuit that includes, as an access interface, an interface logically connecting the virtual client node and virtual core node, wherein the L2 circuit provides connectivity between the virtual client node and a remote virtual client node; and forward, via the L2 circuit, packets between the virtual client node and the remote virtual client node to realize a logical network between the first customer network device and a second customer network device connected to the remote virtual PE node.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for an Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) Virtual Private Wire Service (VPWS) network with service interface-aware forwarding. In one example, a first network device signals to a second network device, using EVPN route advertisements, a multi-service service tunnel to transport network packets for a plurality of services. The services are identifiable by virtual local area network (VLAN) identifiers in the packets. The first network device is configured with a single transport interface for the service tunnel and the single transport interface is configured with respective service interfaces for the services. The first network device detects failure of a failed service interface of the service interfaces and outputs, in response to the failure, an EVPN route withdrawal message for the service tunnel that identifies the service corresponding to the failed service interface.

Abstract: Techniques are described to provide split-horizon packet forwarding so as to ensure that packets from the customer network that are injected into the provider backbone bridging Ethernet Virtual Private Network (PBB-EVPN) by one of the provider edge (PE) devices of the multi-homed Ethernet segment are not forwarded back toward the customer network by a different PE device connected to the same multi-homed Ethernet segment. For example, a method may comprise receiving a packet via a core-facing interface of a first PE device, determining the Ethernet segment associated with the PE devices by a lookup operation based on keys of the packet; in response to determining the Ethernet segment, supplanting the core-facing interface of the first PE device with a virtual interface associated with the keys, and forwarding the packet to a second CE device without forwarding the received packet back to the Ethernet segment associated with the first PE device.

Abstract: The techniques describe adaptive load-balancing based on traffic feedback from packet processors. In one example, a source virtual network node of the network device may determine whether a particular destination packet processor is or may become oversubscribed. For example, source packet processors of the source virtual network node may exchange feedback messages including traffic flow rate information. The source virtual network node may compute a total traffic flow rate and compare the total traffic flow rate with a bandwidth of the particular destination packet processor. In response to determining that the bandwidth of the destination packet processor is oversubscribed, the source virtual network node may update a forwarding plane data structure to reduce a likelihood of selecting the destination packet processor to which to forward packet flows.

Abstract: The techniques describe packet reordering for packets flowing on a new path in response to a change in internal forwarding paths in a network device. For example, a network device may dynamically change the selection of an internal forwarding path to achieve fabric path optimization (“OFP”) or to ensure optimized load balancing. Packets forwarded on the new path are buffered such that the transmission of packets forwarded on the new path are delayed for a buffering time period of at least the time in which a packet is being sent from the source packet processor to the initial destination packet processor.

Abstract: In one example, a management component executing on a single-chassis network device configures a virtual node with an abstract fabric interface having, as a destination address, identifiers of packet processors (e.g., PTFE-IDs) assigned to the virtual node on the other end of the abstract fabric interface. The management component of the single-chassis network device pre-creates an underlay network by using the fabric links at the packet processor. When the management component creates and connects an abstract fabric interface on the virtual nodes, the management component forms an overlay network and attaches the overlay network to the underlay network, e.g., by programming the forwarding plane packet processor, to connect the virtual nodes. However, users of the network device, external devices, and routing protocols will not view the abstract fabric interface as an overlay interface, but as a regular Ethernet interface (e.g., a Gigabit Ethernet interface).

Abstract: Techniques are described to provide layer 2 (L2) circuit failover in the event connectivity to an Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) instance is lost. For example, if one of multi-homed provider edge (PE) devices loses connectivity to the EVPN instance, the PE device may mark its customer-facing interface as down and propagate the interface status to the access node such that the access node may update its routing information to switch L2 circuits to another one of the multi-homed PE devices having reachability to the EVPN instance. In some examples, the plurality of PE devices may further implement Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) techniques to propagate the interface status to the access node such that the access node may update its forwarding information to send traffic on a different L2 circuit to another one of the multi-homed PE devices having reachability to the EVPN instance.
