    摘要: Particular embodiments described herein provide for a communication system that can be configured to identify a system that includes network traffic, where at least a portion of the network traffic includes packets, at least a portion of the packets include a stack, and at least a portion of each stack includes one or more previously allocated labels. The communication system can further be configured to determine a synonymous label that triggers an action and to replace a label from the one of the one or more previously allocated labels in a specific stack of a specific packet with the synonymous label. In an example, the synonymous label can be used to identify a subset of packets in the network traffic or a source of the specific packet.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving at a node in a first network, information identifying a spare interface between a first network device in the first network and a second network device in a second network, and using the spare interface to create a path in the first network if the spare interface is compatible. The spare interface information includes connectivity and compatibility information.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides for carrying downstream mapping information in an echo request message and/or echo reply message, which can describe both IP (Internet Protocol) multipath information and label multipath information. A transit node (e.g., an LSR element) that receives an echo request message from an initiator node determines downstream mapping information, which is returned to the initiator node. Transit node determines whether a newly defined type of multipath information (type 10) should be generated to return the downstream mapping information, based on whether transit node performs load balancing based on labels or IP header information, and whether transit node imposes entropy labels. A multipath information type 10 element includes either IP multipath information or label multipath information, as well as associated label multipath information that includes one or more entropy labels that map to the IP or label multipath information being returned.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a source transmits one or more data packets to a destination over a primary pseudowire (PW). When a device on the primary PW detects a downstream failure of the primary PW, and in response to receiving one or more data packets from a source from the failed primary PW, the device adds a loopback packet identifier to the one or more received data packets, and returns the one or more data packets with the loopback packet identifier to the source upstream on the primary PW. Accordingly, in response to receiving the data packet returned with a loopback packet identifier from the primary PW (in response to the downstream failure), the source retransmits the one or more data packets to the destination over a backup PW.

    摘要: 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.
