    Abstract: Techniques for utilizing in-band telemetry (INT) in network fabrics are provided. A packet is received at a leaf node in a first logical group of nodes. Upon determining that the first packet was received from a node outside of the first logical group of nodes, the packet is encapsulated with a first header indicating an internal virtual extensible local area network (iVXLAN) identifier associated with the packet, and a second header indicating a policy group is added to the packet. Further, upon determining that a destination of the packet is associated with a second logical group of nodes, a third header is added to the first packet, where the third header stores in-band network telemetry (INT) for the packet, and telemetry data is added to the third header. The packet is transmitted to a spine node in the first logical group of devices.

    Abstract: Embodiments provide techniques for synchronizing forwarding tables across forwarding pipelines. One embodiment includes receiving, in a network switch comprising a plurality of forwarding pipelines, a plurality of data packets. Each of the plurality of data packets corresponds to a respective one of the plurality of forwarding pipelines. Each of the plurality of forwarding pipelines maintains a respective forwarding table corresponding to a respective plurality of ports managed by the forwarding pipeline. A plurality of update operations to be performed on the forwarding tables are determined, based on the received plurality of data packets. Embodiments further include performing the plurality of update operations on the forwarding tables, such that the forwarding tables across all forwarding pipelines of the plurality of forwarding pipelines are synchronized.

    Abstract translation: 实施例提供了用于在转发管线之间同步转发表的技术。 一个实施例包括在包括多个转发流水线的网络交换机中接收多个数据分组。 多个数据分组中的每一个对应于多个转发流水线中的相应一个。 多个转发管线中的每一个维护与由转发流水线管理的相应多个端口对应的相应的转发表。 基于接收到的多个数据分组来确定要对转发表执行的多个更新操作。 实施例还包括对转发表执行多个更新操作,使得跨多个转发流水线的所有转发流水线的转发表同步。
