    摘要: The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for transmitting packet in a Virtual Network. In the method, an access switch receives a Layer 3 packet carrying a VNID (Virtual Network IDentifier) from a VM in a remote Data Center. The access switch determines a DN (Designated Node) corresponding to the VNID and generates a Layer 2 frame according to the Layer 3 packet, where the Layer 2 frame includes the MAC (Media Access Control) address of the DN. The access switch to the DN transmits the Layer 2 frame according to the MAC address of the DN such that the DN determines a Layer 3 destination address according to the Layer 2 frame. This avoids packet flooding in Data Center when VM was migrated.

    摘要: The present invention discloses communication methods, apparatuses and a system for sharing network resources in a communications network. It enables a path computation element (PCE) to notify path computation clients (PCCs) about the shared resources of independent label switch paths by allowing a PCE to send an association object with a new association type to PCC. A Path Computation Element (PCE) Communication Protocol extension that associates LSP's whose ingress, or egress, or both ingress and egress are different for resource sharing to avoid path computation failures or duplicate allocation of resources during common links for new LSP's created during an update of E2E LSP. The PCC employs Resource ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP) for LSP signalling, PCC forwards path message information along with association object to the RSVP for LSP signalling. The RSVP uses the association object in its reservation message for LSP setup.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a mechanism to support the creation of an SR policy using PCEP extensions. In one implementation, a PCE is in communication with a PCC using PCEP mechanisms. The PCE sends a first PCEP initiate message, PCInitiate, to the PCC, where the first PCEP message carries the central controller instruction with CC-ID for creating an SR policy. The PCC receives the first PCEP initiate message from the PCE, creates the SR policy using the SR policy parameters where the SR policy is a container independent of any candidate path. Further, the PCC sends a first PCEP report message, PCRpt, to the PCE to report the acknowledgement of the CC-ID and the newly created SR policy.

The PCC employs Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) for LSP signalling, PCC forwards path message information along with association object to the RSVP for LSP signalling. The RSVP uses the association object in its reservation message for LSP setup.
