    Abstract: A first network device associated with a network may establish an Internet protocol version 6 Multiprotocol BGP session with a second network device associated with the network. The first network device and second network device are both capable of forwarding both IPv4 and IPv6 packets with only an IPv6 address configured on the interface of both the first network device and second network device. The first network device may exchange Multiprotocol Reachability capability with second network device for corresponding 2-tuple Address Family Identifier/Subsequent Address Family Identifier. The first network device may advertise Internet protocol version 4 network layer reachability information and may advertise Internet protocol version 6 network layer reachability information with IPv6 extended next hop encoding using Internet Assigned Numbering Authority assigned capability code value 5 to second network device.

    Abstract: A BIER packet forwarding method is applied to a packet sending node and includes: setting node information of a BIER forwarding neighboring node in a BIFT forwarding entry; in a case of determining according to the node information that the BIER forwarding neighboring node has a capability of processing a target packet format, encapsulating a BIER packet according to the target packet format; and sending an encapsulated BIER packet to the BIER forwarding neighboring node.

    Abstract: A Proxy Forwarding node configured to advertise Segment Routing (SR) proxy forwarding capability of the Proxy Forwarding node for neighboring nodes of the Proxy Forwarding node using extensions to interior gateway protocol (IGP) for Proxy Forwarding for enabling an ingress node to the SR Traffic Engineering (SR-TE) path to continue to forward the traffic without modifying a segment list of the SR-TE path that includes a node segment identifier (SID) of a failed neighboring node of the Proxy Forwarding node. When the Proxy Forwarding node receives traffic targeting the failed neighboring node, the Proxy Forwarding node performs SR proxy forwarding for the failed neighboring node by forwarding the traffic towards a destination of the traffic in a direction that avoids the failed neighboring node for a period of time after the IGP has converged.

    Abstract: Various example embodiments for supporting stateless multicast in communication networks are presented. Various example embodiments for supporting stateless multicast in communication networks may be configured to support stateless multicast in multi-domain packet distribution networks. Various example embodiments for supporting stateless multicast in communication networks may be configured to support stateless multicast in multi-domain packet distribution networks which may be based on Internet Protocol (IP). Various example embodiments for supporting stateless multicast in a multi-domain packet distribution network may be configured to support multicast of packets based on use of internal multicast packets for multicast communication of the multicast packets within sub-domains of the multi-domain packet distribution network and use of external multicast packets for unicast communication of the multicast packets across or between sub-domains of the multi-domain packet distribution network.

    Abstract: A method includes, at a node associated with a multiprotocol label switching system (MPLS) network, identifying information associated with an application flow based on one or more unencapsulated packet headers of the application flow or based on an ingress data stream that includes the application flow. The method further includes, in response to identifying the information, and based on stored data that maps application flows with pseudowires, determining a number of pseudowires corresponding to paths through the MPLS network, where the stored data indicates, for a sending device application, a distributed mapping of the application flow via at least one of the number of pseudowires, and communicating data related to the sending device application via at least one of the number of pseudowires.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the technical field of communications, and in particular, to a forwarding method, a forwarding system, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium. The forwarding method includes: acquiring a packet to be forwarded, and detecting whether the packet to be forwarded contains a preset indicator, wherein the preset indicator is used for indicating that the packet to be forwarded has a designated forwarding path; when the packet to be forwarded contains the preset indicator, acquiring information of a protocol header following a Bit Indexed Explicit Replication (BIER) header of the packet to be forwarded, wherein the information of the protocol header is at least used for indicating the designated forwarding path; determining a next hop according to the information of the protocol header; and forwarding the packet to be forwarded according to the next hop.
