Abstract: In general, techniques are described for deploying virtualized cell site routers (vCSRs). In an example, a method comprises receiving, at a forwarding plane of a virtualized cell site router (vCSR) of a first Distributed Unit (DU) of a plurality of DU servers of a cell site for a 5G radio access network, the vCSR having a containerized routing protocol process and a forwarding plane configured to perform Layer 2 (L2) switching, L2 packets on a second interface for a second physical link connecting the first DU server to an L2 switch; and switching, by the forwarding plane of the vCSR of the first DU, the L2 packets on a first interface for a first physical link connecting the first DU server to a second DU server of the plurality of DU servers.

Abstract: The disclosure describes techniques for concurrently operating multiple network stacks, one operating natively and one operating remotely, to control the routing table within a router of a network. An example network device includes a control unit comprising one or more processors. A native routing stack executes on the control unit to exchange routing protocol advertisements with a peer network device in accordance with a routing protocol. The native routing stack is configured to insert first routing entries into a routing table. The first routing entries are based on the routing protocol advertisements. A controller interface executed by the control unit receives second routing entries from a network controller and inserts the second routing entries into the routing table. A routing process generates a forwarding table based on the first and second routing entries.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to computer networking and, more specifically, to service chaining a containerized network function (CNF) using a containerized router, the CNF and containerized router both deployed to the same server. In an example, a method comprises executing, with a computing device: a containerized network function; a virtual router to implement a data plane for a containerized router; and a containerized routing protocol daemon to implement a control plane for the containerized router, wherein the containerized network function and containerized routing protocol daemon execute on the same computing device, and wherein a first virtual network interface of the computing device enables communications between the containerized network function and the virtual router; and forwarding, by the virtual router, based on a static route, traffic destined for a prefix to the first virtual network interface to send the traffic to the containerized network function.
