Abstract: Techniques are described for providing targeted selection of cascade ports of an aggregation device. In one example, the disclosed techniques enable dynamic assignment of active and backup cascade ports of an aggregation device for each extended port of satellite devices. In this example, rather than allocating resources for each of the extended ports of the satellite devices on all of the cascade ports of the aggregation device, the aggregation device instead allocates resources for each of the extended port only on the assigned active and backup cascade ports for the respective one of the extended ports of the satellite devices. The techniques are also described for providing traffic steering to a backup cascade port in the event the assigned active cascade port is unreachable, and, if the cascade port remains unreachable for a specified duration, the aggregation device may assign new active and backup cascade ports for the extended port.

Abstract: The techniques describe directly forwarding a packet from an ingress packet forwarding engine to a particular destination packet forwarding engine (PFE) when internal packet load balancing may otherwise result in an increased number of fabric hops. For example, a source PFE may receive incoming packets destined for a router reachable only by a particular destination PFE (e.g., egress PFE). Rather than load balancing the incoming packets to a destination PFE that is likely to be a non-egress PFE, a source PFE obtains fabric path information associated with the egress PFE from a destination PFE such that source PFE may forward incoming packets directly to the egress PFE.

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.

Abstract: The techniques describe forwarding multicast traffic using a multi-level cache in a network device forwarding plane for determining a set of outgoing interfaces of the network device on which to forward the multicast traffic. For example, a multi-level cache is configured to store a multicast identifier of a multicast packet and multicast forwarding information associated with the multicast identifier, such as identification of one or more egress packet processors of the network device to which the multicast packet is to be sent for forwarding to the set of one or more egress network devices, and/or outgoing interfaces of the network device toward each egress network device of the set of one or more egress network devices. The multi-level cache is also configured to store respective multicast identifiers that are to be encapsulated with outgoing multicast packets that are forwarded to the set of one or more egress network devices.

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: 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.
