Abstract:
The present technology is directed to signaling unreachability of a network device, more specifically, a prefix of the network device in network that utilizes route summarization. A pulse trigger agent can detect an unreachability of at least one Provider Edge (PE) device in a network domain of a network and determine that a route summarization is being used within the network where the unreachability of the at least one PE device is hidden by the route summarization. A pulse distribution agent can transmit a failure message informing other PE devices of the unreachability of the at least one PE device.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method for link state flooding between a network node and a receiving node includes determining a current transmit rate that Link State Protocol Data Units (LSPs) are being transmitted from the network node to the receiving node. The method further includes determining an LSP acknowledgment rate that indicates a rate at which a plurality of LSP acknowledgments are received at the network node from the receiving node. The method further includes determining a new transmit rate based on the current transmit rate and the LSP acknowledgment rate. The method further includes transmitting a plurality of LSPs from the network node to the receiving node using the new transmit rate.
Abstract:
An example method for convergence of multi-destination traffic in a network environment is provided and includes receiving a first type-length-value (TLV) message from a true broadcast root in a Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) network, where the first TLV message indicates a first subset of multi-destination trees in the TRILL network, receiving a second TLV message from the true broadcast root indicating a second subset of multi-destination trees in the TRILL network, such that a union of the first subset and the second subset indicates at least one inactive multi-destination tree in the TRILL network, and deleting the inactive tree from a hash table of active trees.

Abstract:
Techniques are described for providing a method and apparatus for determining source address validation of a data packet in a network in the presence of asymmetric routing. When a data packet is received by a node such as a router, a reverse path forwarding lookup is performed to determine if the data packet was received on a next-hop interface and if the reverse path forwarding fails, a Shortest Path First (SPF) computation at the router advertising the source route will be performed using the link state database to determine whether the data packet arrived from a valid path of the network.
