Abstract:
A first network device in a first device group receives a first packet that is sent by a first terminal device connected to the first network device and whose destination address is an IP address of a second terminal device connected to a second network device in a second device group. When a first inter-group interconnection link exists between the first network device and the second device group, and congestion does not occur on the first inter-group interconnection link, the first network device sends the first packet to the second network device through the first inter-group interconnection link.

Embodiments of this application disclose a configuration method that may be applied to a software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN). The method includes: receiving a correspondence between a device identifier of a first device and a first location; sending, to the first device, a verification request related to verifying whether the first device is located at the first location; receiving a verification response to the verification request; and determining, based on the verification response, whether to send configuration information corresponding to the first location to the first device. The methods in the embodiments of this application may be implemented by a software-defined network (SDN) controller.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, a device, and a system for creating a bidirectional multicast distribution tree based on an interior gateway protocol, the method includes: generating, according to a root address of a first node flooded by the first node through an IGP and a shortest path tree algorithm, a shortest path to another node with the first node as a source node, and constructing a flooding tree according to the shortest path; and when receiving layer 3 multicast group information flooded by an edge node, determining, according to the layer 3 multicast group information and a multicast group range that is supported by the first node, a flooding tree corresponding to each layer 3 multicast group, and performing pruning, according to the layer 3 multicast group information, to the flooding tree corresponding to each layer 3 multicast group, to generate a bidirectional multicast distribution tree.
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:
A gateway receives a link state packet (LSP) that includes a network identifier of a Layer 2 virtual network and a multicast address and that is sent by each routing bridge (RB) that is on the Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) network; separately performs calculation on the network identifier and the multicast address that are in each LSP, to obtain a calculation result corresponding to each combination of the network identifier and the multicast address; if the gateway determines that information preconfigured on the gateway matches a calculation result corresponding to a combination of the network identifier and the multicast address, sends a notification message including the network identifier and the multicast address that are in the matched combination to each RB; receives from at least one RB, a multicast packet corresponding to the multicast address in the matched combination, and forwards the multicast packet.
Abstract:
A method for sending a Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) data frame, comprising acquiring a user virtual local area network (VLAN) or a combination of a user VLAN and a user multicast medium access control (MAC) address in a first protocol packet, and a first port identifier; storing a correspondence there-between in a forwarding table; searching, according to the user VLAN or the combination of the user VLAN and the user multicast MAC address in a TRILL data frame received, the forwarding table for a second port identifier corresponding to the VLAN or the combination of the user VLAN and the user multicast MAC address in the TRILL data frame, and forwarding the TRILL data frame from a pseudo wire (PW) port corresponding to the second port identifier.
Abstract:
A packet forwarding method and apparatus are described that pertain to the field of communication technologies. During selecting, from outbound interfaces of a plurality of forwarding chips, an outbound interface used for packet forwarding, a chassis-shaped device considers both: a role of the outbound interface (whether the outbound interface is an outbound interface of a shortest path or an outbound interface of a non-shortest path), and a congested state of the outbound interface. As such, the chassis-shaped device flexibly selects a forwarding path for a data packet based on a congestion situation of the forwarding path. In this way, an application of an adaptive routing technology is extended to the chassis-shaped device.
Abstract:
A first network device obtains a first route, where a first route prefix of the first route includes an identifier of a route advertiser. The first network device generates a first route entry based on the first route. The first network device obtains a second route, where the second route includes a second route prefix and the identifier of the route advertiser. The first network device generates a second route entry based on the identifier of the route advertiser and the second route prefix, to associate the first route entry with the second route entry.
Abstract:
A data packet forwarding method and an apparatus, where the method includes: receiving, by a forwarding device, a first default flow entry of the virtual network from a controller, where the first default flow entry of the virtual network instructs the forwarding device to send a data packet to a specified forwarding device when the forwarding device looks up a first flow table based on a match item of the data packet but no flow entry is hit; receiving, a first data packet from an end system; and when the controller is faulty and the forwarding device looks up the first flow table based on a match item of the first data packet but no flow entry is hit, sending, by the forwarding device, the first data packet to the specified forwarding device using the first default flow entry of the virtual network.
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.
