US Patent:

20060007925, Jan 12, 2006

Filed:

Jul 12, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/889475

Inventors:

Steven Wright - Roswell GA, US
Thomas Anschutz - Alpharetta GA, US
James Rembert - Atlanta GA, US
Andrew Vernon - Atlanta GA, US

International Classification:

H04L 12/28

US Classification:

370389000, 370521000, 709247000

Abstract:

A multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) packet stream is processed by establishing a packet communication context between a first node and a second node in an MPLS network. The context is an uncompressed version of an MPLS shim header. The MPLS shim header in each of the packets is compressed at the first node and the packets with the compressed MPLS shim headers are transmitted to the second node. The MPLS shim headers are decompressed at the second node using the context.

Abstract:

A multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) packet is processed by modifying the packet so as to push or pop a plurality of MPLS shim headers at a network node. An MPLS network is operated by pushing a plurality of MPLS shim headers onto a packet at network node. The packet is replicated to obtain a plurality of packets for transmission on a plurality of paths associated with a plurality of nodes, respectively. At least one MPLS shim header is popped from respective ones of the plurality of packets. The one or more MPLS shim headers that are popped correspond to at least one of the plurality of nodes that is not associated with one of the plurality of paths for which one of the plurality of packets comprising the one or more MPLS shim headers is destined for transmission. The plurality of packets is-then transmitted on the plurality of paths, respectively.
