    摘要: Techniques for virtual private network (VPN) services over optical networks. Client data is received from a source device connected to a first node in an optical communication network. The client data is for transmission over the optical communication network to a destination device connected to a second node in the optical communication network. The client data is transmitted from the source device to the destination device using a layer 2 (L2) virtual network connection between the source device and the destination device. This includes transmitting the client data from the first node to the second node over an optical transport network (OTN) path through the optical communication network using a frame. The second node is configured to receive the frame and transmit the client data to the destination device based on an identifier in the frame.

    摘要: In one example, an autonomous system boundary router (ASBR) forms part of a first autonomous system (AS). The ASBR is between a first provider edge (PE) router of the first AS and a second PE router of a second, different AS. The first PE router and the second PE router form a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) path. The ASBR includes an interface communicatively coupled to a routing device external to the first AS, a memory configured to store a forwarding table associated with the interface, and one or more processing units configured to receive a packet via the interface, determine that the packet is encapsulated by an MPLS label, select a forwarding table based on the interface by which the packet was received, and forward the packet according to forwarding information of the forwarding table when the forwarding table includes the MPLS label.

    摘要: Techniques are described for applying double experimental (EXP) quality of service (QoS) markings to Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) packets. According to the techniques, an edge router of an MPLS network is configured to map a Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) marking for customer traffic to at least two EXP fields of at least two different labels included in a MPLS packet encapsulating the customer traffic. In this way, the edge router may map the full DSCP marking across the first and second EXP fields to provide full resolution QoS for the customer traffic over the MPLS network. The techniques also include a core router of an MPLS network configured to identify a QoS profile for a received MPLS packet based on a combination of a first EXP field of a first label and a second EXP field of a second label included in the MPLS packet.

    摘要: Embodiments of the disclosure are related to routing or switching data of a customer network over a provider's network in Provider Backbone Bridge (PBB) to another customer network such that the traffic in the communication channel between the two customer networks is reduced and thus prevents packet loss. The architecture model for routing or switching data of a customer network over a provider's network is a B-component bridge used in backbone networks which performs Σn1 data path protection to prevent packet loss, data aggregation for load sharing, TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) to Ethernet Circuit Emulation.

    摘要: An apparatus comprising a processor configured to store a first upstream label in a forwarding table upon receipt of a first message encapsulating the first upstream label from a first adjacent node, store a first downstream label in the forwarding table upon receipt of a second message encapsulating the first downstream label from a second adjacent node, send a third message encapsulating a second downstream label to the first adjacent node, send a fourth message encapsulating a second upstream label to the second adjacent node; and forward data received from a plurality of adjacent nodes over a MP2MP LSP using at least a portion of the labels stored in the forwarding table, wherein each adjacent node is associated with only one upstream label and only one downstream label, and wherein the maximum state complexity of the forwarding table is linear relative to the number of adjacent nodes.

    摘要: An architecture for providing service mediation in a network having a Layer-2 domain and an MPLS domain includes at least one Layer-2 provider edge device in communication with a first customer site; at least one Layer-2 edge device in communication with the Layer-2 provider edge device; at least one MPLS mediation edge device in communication with the Layer-2 edge device; and at least one MPLS provider edge device in communication with both the MPLS mediation edge device and a second customer site. An end-to-end connection is established using native Layer-2 signaling, if any, in the Layer-2 domain and PWE3 signaling protocols in the MPLS domain. The MPLS mediation edge device resolves associations between Layer-2 edge devices and MPLS provider edge devices. The service is “mediated” in the sense that native Layer-2 signaling is terminated at the MME, and a new domain, i.e., pseudowire, is established across the MPLS domain.
