    摘要: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for communicating policy changes in a Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) based network deployment include receiving, at a first routing device, a first notification from a map server, the first notification indicating a change in a policy for LISP based communication between at least a first endpoint device and at least a second endpoint device, the first endpoint device being connected to a network fabric through the first routing device and the second endpoint device being connected to the network fabric through a second routing device. The first routing device forwards a second notification to the second routing device if one or more entries of a first map cache implemented by the first routing device are affected by the policy change, the second notification indicating a set of one or more endpoints connected to the second routing device that are affected by the policy change.

    摘要: A packet processing method and apparatus are presented. The method includes: generating, by a first node, a first packet based on first data of the first node, where the packet header of the first packet includes a service type, a final destination address, and residual times to aggregation (RTA); when the RTA of the first packet is not 0, determining, by the first node, a remaining capacity in a first cache corresponding to the service type and the final destination address; and when a data length of the first packet is not greater than the remaining capacity, aggregating, by the first node, the first packet and the second packet into a third packet, where the RTA of the third packet is a minimum value in the RTA of the second packet and a value obtained after 1 is subtracted from the RTA of the first packet.

    摘要: A method, apparatus, switch, device for packet forwarding and storage medium are disclosed. The method includes: obtaining a packet to be forwarded; detecting whether a first data table contains connection cache information corresponding to the packet; obtaining a first identifier of the connection cache information from the first data table if the first data table contains the connection cache information corresponding to the packet; obtaining connection information corresponding to the connection cache information from a second data table, and determining a second identifier of the connection cache information, wherein the second identifier is a current connection identifier corresponding to the connection cache information and changes when the connection information changes; and forwarding the packet based on the connection cache information if the second identifier is the same as the first identifier. The method for packet forwarding according an embodiment of the present application can reduce errors in packet forwarding.

    摘要: A network device receives a packet from a client device, and identifies, based on receiving the packet, a destination of the packet. The network device determines, based on information included in an application cache, an application associated with the destination of the packet, where the first network device, the client device, and the application cache are included in a first local network. The network device determines, based on the information included in the application cache, a policy rule associated with the application, and applies the policy rule to the packet.
