    Abstract: A method is described and in one embodiment includes receiving a packet of a traffic flow at an ingress node of a communications network; routing the packet to an egress node of the communications network via a first path comprising a tunnel if the packet was received from a node external to the communications network; and routing the packet to the egress node of the communications network via a second path that does not traverse the tunnel if the packet was received from a node internal to the communications network. The first path is identified by a first Forwarding Information Base (“FIB”) entry corresponding to the flow and the second path is identified by a second FIB entry corresponding to the flow.

    Abstract: The present technology is directed to a scalable solution for end-to-end performance delay measurement for Segment Routing Policies on both SR-MPLS and SRv6 data planes. The scalability of the solution stems from the use of distributed PM sessions along SR Policy ECMP paths. This is achieved by dividing the SR policy into smaller sections comprised of SPT trees or sub-paths, each of which is associated with a Root-Node. Downstream SID List TLVs may be used in Probe query messages for signaling SPT information to the Root-Nodes Alternatively, this SPT signaling may be accomplished by using a centralized controller. Root-Nodes are responsible for dynamically creating PM sessions and measuring delay metrics for their associated SPT tree section. The root-nodes then send the delay metrics for their local section to an ingress PE node or to a centralized controller using delay metric TLV field of the response message.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device in a network determines that traffic sent via a first label switched path should be sent via a new label switched path. The device sends the traffic along the new label switched path using a label stack that indicates one or more adjacency segments or interface binding labels. A particular node along the new label switched path is configured to forward the traffic via a particular interface of the node based on a corresponding interface binding label or adjacency segment indicated by the traffic. The device completes a switchover from the first path to the new path.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for reducing border gateway protocol (BGP) signaling for multi-homed devices. In one aspect, the method comprises: receiving one or more signals from one or more provider edge devices. The one or more signals include an address of a membership group associated with a multi-homed device. A router receives, from a provider edge device of the one or more provider edge devices, a service prefix. The service prefix is associated with the multi-homed device and the membership group. The router may store the service prefix and the one or more provider edge devices and connect, according to the service prefix and the one or more provider edge devices, to the multi-homed device associated with the membership group.

    Abstract: A method, network device, and computer program product for network traffic diversion are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method according to the present disclosure includes receiving a frame at a core edge node that is a member of a redundancy group (where the frame comprises network address information and a packet), and determining whether a link is affected by a network failure. The frame was sourced by a remote core edge node that is not a member of the redundancy group, and the network address information indicates that the packet is to be forwarded via the link. In response to the link being affected by the network failure, the method further includes generating a modified frame and forwarding the modified frame to another core edge node. The generating comprises including a redirect label in the modified frame. The another core edge node is another member of the redundancy group.

The frame was sourced by a remote core edge node that is not a member of the redundancy group, and the network address information indicates that the packet is to be forwarded via the link. In response to the link being affected by the network failure, the method further includes generating a modified frame and forwarding the modified frame to another core edge node.

    Abstract: Utilizing the systems disclosed herein, a network element (in a network) controls, within another network, the constraints of a service, timing of the creation of the service, and selection a service on which a packet is transmitted. For example, a first network element (located in a first network) receives a request associated with initiating a service. The request is received from a second network element located in a second network and includes at least one path constraint. The first network element controls creation of the service in the first network on behalf of the second network element located in the second network by, e.g., identifying a path based, at least in part, on the at least one path constraint; and binding an identifier and an interface to the path, wherein the interface is associated with one or more operation to perform on any traffic that is labeled with the identifier.
