    Abstract: First and second egress nodes are each multi-homed to a customer edge (CE) that participates in virtual routing and forwarding (VRF). First forwarding information is configured on the first egress node. The first information includes VRF labels and defines forwarding of traffic based on the VRF labels and a status of a primary path to the CE. The VRF labels include a per-VRF label for the VRF and a per-CE label for the CE. Second forwarding information is configured on the second egress node. The second forwarding information includes the per-VRF label and the per-CE label, and defines traffic forwarding based on the VRF labels. Upon receiving traffic for the CE that carries the per-VRF label, the first egress node determines the status of the primary path, and forwards the traffic to either the CE over the primary path or to the second egress node, depending on the status.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus to provide network-wide enhanced load balancing. In one embodiment a first message comprising a first value and an address is generated. The first message is transmitted to a first node via a first communication link. A second message comprising a second value and the address is generated. The first and second values are unequal. The second message is transmitted to the first node via a second communication link. Packets are received, wherein each of the packets comprises the address. A first percentage of the packets are forwarded to a first device via the first communication link, wherein the first percentage is proportional to the first value. A second percentage of the packets are forwarded to a second device via the second communication link, wherein the second percentage is proportional to the second value.

    Abstract: Devices, methods and instructions encoded on computer readable medium for implementation of a dual-adjacency between edge devices of a network site. A first edge device comprises one or more local interfaces configured for communication, via a local network, with one or more network devices co-located in a first network site. The first edge device also comprises one or more overlay interfaces configured for communication, via a core network, with one or more network devices located in one or more other network sites connected to the core network. The first edge device comprises a processor configured to establish, via at least one of the local interfaces, a site communication channel with a second edge device co-located in the first network site. The processor is further configured to establish an overlay communication channel, via at least one of the overlay interfaces, with the second edge device.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes storing a service topology route at a network device interconnecting at least two zones comprising a plurality of hosts, and propagating the service topology route to create a service chain comprising a service node in communication with the network device. The service topology route creates a forwarding state at network devices in the service chain for use in inter-zone routing in a virtual private network. An apparatus and logic are also disclosed herein.
