    Abstract: An enterprise controller of an enterprise network sends to a service gateway of a service provider network a request for network slice information about network slices provisioned on a data plane of the service provider network. Responsive to the sending, the enterprise controller receives from the service gateway the network slice information including identifiers of and properties associated with the network slices. Responsive to receiving a request for the network slice information from a network device at a border of a forwarding plane of the enterprise network, the enterprise controller sends the network slice information to the network device to cause the network device to perform configuring network traffic in the forwarding plane with identifiers of ones of the network slices that match the network traffic, and to perform forwarding the network traffic configured with the identifiers to the data plane of the service provider network.

    Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for distributing (advertising) segment identifiers in network functions virtualization and/or software defined networking environments. An exemplary method includes receiving a route advertisement that includes a prefix with a forwarding address for a first network element and receiving a segment identifier (SID) advertisement that includes a prefix SID for the prefix. The route advertisement may be received from a second network element proxying control plane functions for the first network element. Reachability information for the first network element is updated based on the route advertisement and the SID advertisement.

    Abstract: This technology enables normalized lookup and forwarding for diverse virtual private networks in multi-site network fabric deployments. A source device on a first Layer 2 site transmits a frame to a destination device on the same subnet, but on a second Layer 2 site. The frame is encapsulated and routed to a fabric border node. The fabric border node matches the source subnet to the destination subnet and transmits an address request protocol (“ARP”). In response to not receiving a reply to the ARP, the fabric border node transmits a map request to a Layer 3 transit fabric control plane node. The control plane node extracts a destination identifier from the map request and determines that the destination identifier is a Layer 2 identifier. The control plane node transmits a map reply to the fabric border node, where the frame is re-encapsulated and forwarded to the destination device.

    Abstract: One embodiment of a method includes receiving at a first network node traffic from a second network node; and sending by the first network node to a third network node information identifying the second network node via a Local Area Network (“LAN”) connection between the first and third network nodes. Subsequent to receipt of the information identifying the second network node, the third network node updates a locator table maintained by the third network node to include an entry including the information identifying the second network node received by the third network node from the first network node. Upon receipt by the third network node of a notification that the first network node has failed, the third network node sends an update only to network nodes that have an entry in the locator table indicating that the first network node has failed.
