H04L 12/741
H04L 12/46

Abstract:

A plurality of switches may be arranged according to a spine and leaf topology in which each spine switch is connected to all leaf switches. A leaf switch includes a memory configured to store a plurality of policies, each of the plurality of policies being associated with a respective source identifier value and a respective destination address; a network interface communicatively coupled to one of the spine switches; and a processor implemented in circuitry and configured to: receive a packet from the spine switch via the network interface, the packet being encapsulated with a Virtual Extensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) header; extract a source identifier value from the VXLAN header; determine a destination address for the packet; determine a policy of the plurality of policies to apply to the packet according to the source identifier value and the destination address; and apply the policy to the packet.

Abstract:

In some cases, once Fast Reroute (FRR) has taken place (e.g., for MPLS protection), a further FRR is undesirable, and even detrimental. A mechanism to prevent a further FRR, once such a further FRR is determined to be potentially harmful, is described.

Abstract:

Techniques are described for avoiding traffic black-holing in a multi-homed Ethernet virtual private networks (EVPNs) in which a customer device (CE) is multi-homed to a plurality of multi-homing provider edge devices (PEs) via respective links of an Ethernet segment. An overlay network is created over the Ethernet segment, and the multi-homing PEs of the EVPN are configured with a common anycast IP address for respective virtual network interfaces. Upon election as active designated forwarder (DF) for the EVPN, the DF PE of the multi-homing PEs advertises toward the customer network an IGP metric for the anycast IP address that is lower than the IGP metric(s) advertised by any of the non-DF standby PE routers segment to direct the CE to forward network packets from the customer network to the DF PE over the respective link of the Ethernet segment.

Abstract:

For use in an Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) in which a site including at least one MAC-addressable device is multihomed, via a customer edge device (CE), to at least two provider edge devices (PE and PE), the potential problem of one of the at least two provider edge devices (PE) dropping or flooding packets designed for a MAC-addressable device of the multihomed site is solved by controlling advertisements of an auto-discovery per EVPN instance (A-D/EVI) route (or an auto-discovery per Ethernet segment identifier (A-D/ESI) route) to a remote provider edge device (PE), belonging to the EVPN but not directly connected with the CE. Such advertisements may be controlled by: (a) determining, by PE, whether or not a MAC-learning condition is met; and (b) responsive to a determination that the MAC-learning condition is met, advertising, by PE, an A-D/EVI route (or an A-D/ESI route) to the remote provider edge device (PE), and otherwise, responsive to a determination that the MAC-learning condition is not met, suppressing, by PE, an A-D/EVI route advertisement (or an A-D/ESI route advertisement).

Abstract:

A device may receive, from a provider edge device, a packet to be provided to one or more other provider edge devices. Some of the one or more other provider edge devices may be multi-homed with a same customer edge device as the provider edge device. The device may configure a source IP address of the packet based on a capability of an assisted replicator device after receiving the packet. The capability may relate to whether the assisted replicator device is capable of retaining the source IP address of the packet as received from the provider edge device. The device may provide the packet to at least some provider edge devices, of the one or more other provider edge devices, after configuring the source IP address of the packet.
