Abstract:
The present invention discloses a method, an apparatus, and a system for detecting connectivity. A node receives connectivity detection request information; determines, according to nicknames of target nodes, whether the is one of the target nodes; if the node is one of the target nodes, sends connectivity detection reply information to a source node; if the node is not one of the target nodes, performs corresponding processing according to a value of a hop count and whether the node is on a path that is in the multicast distribution tree and is from the source node to any one of the target nodes. With the present invention, a source node is capable of receiving only a feedback of a node on a true path, thereby making it easier to identify a path.
Abstract:
A first multihoming network virtualization edge (NVE) configured to receive a first multicast packet sent by a multihomed tenant end system (TES), acquire an ingress port of the first multicast packet and a virtual local area network (VLAN) identifier (ID) of the first multicast packet, acquire a virtual overlay network (VN) ID of the first multicast packet according to the ingress port and the VLAN ID, determine whether the ingress port is a designated forwarder (DF) of the VN ID, encapsulate the first multicast packet with an extended NVO3 header when the ingress port is not the DF of the VN ID, and send the first multicast packet that is encapsulated with the extended NVO3 header to another NVE that includes a second multihoming NVE, where the extended NVO3 header carries the VN ID and a link aggregation group (LAG) ID that corresponds to the ingress port.
Abstract:
The objective of the embodiments of the present invention is to provide a method and an apparatus of sending address correspondence information and updating a MAC table in a data link layer protocol of applying Link State Routing for solving the problem that too much bandwidth is occupied by broadcasting address correspondence information solicitation in a data link layer of applying link state routing. Through adopting the technical solution of the embodiments of the present invention, since besides the ingress network node, other network nodes also store address correspondence information in their address correspondence information tables, so when they receive an address correspondence information solicitation, they can directly reply with an address correspondence information response without broadcasting the solicitation, decreasing the bandwidth occupied by broadcasting address correspondence information solicitation in a data link layer of applying link state routing.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provide a packet processing method, a related apparatus, and an NVO3 network system. A first NVE receives a first packet sent by a first CE, where the first packet includes a MAC address of the first CE and a VLAN ID; the first NVE determines a VNI of the first CE according to an inbound interface of the first packet and the VLAN ID; the first NVE performs NVO3 encapsulation on the first packet to obtain an NVO3 encapsulated first packet, where the NVO3 encapsulated first packet includes the VNI of the first CE, and a source IP address in an NVO3 header of the NVO3 encapsulated first packet is a first shared VTEP IP address shared by the first NVE and a second NVE; and the first NVE forwards the NVO3 encapsulated first packet to a remote NVE.
Abstract:
Embodiments provide a service instance mapping method, apparatus and system. The service instance mapping method includes: correlating a layer-2 service instance with a service access port of the service instance, and determining correspondence between the service access port and a service instance identifier. The method also includes mapping the service instance identifier to a service label of a packet.

The service instance mapping method includes: correlating a layer-2 service instance with a service access port of the service instance, and determining correspondence between the service access port and a service instance identifier; and mapping the service instance identifier to a service label of a packet. In embodiments of the present invention, because the service label is adopted to carry the service instance identifier, a higher service label supporting capability may be included, more service instances may be supported, and a multi-tenant requirement in a large-scale public cloud environment can be met; control protocol support is extended, and extension of a TRILL protocol can fulfill a higher service development capability.
Abstract:
The present application provides a method and a device for clearing a MAC forwarding entry. The method includes: detecting, by a first RB, that a topology of a network accessed by a local terminal changes; and sending, by the first RB, a first packet to a second RB, so that the second RB clears a corresponding forwarding entry after receiving the first packet, where the second RB refers to an RB configured with at least one VLAN the same as that of the first RB.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for forwarding a packet, where a first network virtualization edge (NVE) receives a first packet sent by a first tenant end system (TES), where a destination Internet Protocol (IP) address of the first packet is an IP address of a second TES, a destination media access control (MAC) address of the first packet is a gateway MAC address corresponding to the first NVE. The first NVE acquires an access virtual network identifier (VN ID) and a layer 3 virtual private network (VPN) instance identifier of the first TES, and searches a routing and forwarding table, to obtain an entry corresponding to the IP address of the second TES. Then the first NVE encapsulates the first packet into a network virtualization overlays (NVO3) packet according to the entry, and forwards the NVO3 packet to a second NVE to forward to the second TES.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a virtual machine migration method, a switch, a virtual machine system. A switch receives a message sent by a server, where the message is used to enable the switch to discover a connected virtual machine interface; obtains, from the message, an identifier for indicating whether a virtual machine is migrating; and determines whether the virtual machine is a virtual machine migrated to the server according to the identifier indicating whether the virtual machine is migrated. According to the embodiments of the present invention, it may be determined whether an added virtual machine on a server is a newly created one or a migrated one.
