Patent
System and methods for detecting network failure
James N. Guichard,Jean-Philippe Vasseur,Clarence Filsfils,David D. Ward,Stefano Previdi,Thomas D. Nadeau +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a path verification protocol (PVP) enumerates a series of messages sent to a set of nodes, or routers, along a suspected path, identifies forwarding plane problems for effecting changes at the control plane level.
Patent
Fast reroute (frr) protection at the edge of a rfc 2547 network
Clarence Filsfils,Stefano Previdi,John Galen Scudder,David D. Ward,Jean-Philippe Vasseur,Jim Guichard +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a fast rerout (FRR) technique that may be deployed at the edge of a network having first and second edge devices coupled to a neiboring routing domain.
Patent
BFD rate-limiting and automatic session activation
TL;DR: In this article, a system and method for rate-limiting and automatic BFD session activation includes tracking a total bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD) packet rate for a line card (LC) of the node, and rejecting operations associated with creation of new BFD sessions that would cause the total BFD packet rate to exceed a predetermined maximum rate.
Patent
Distinguishing between connectivity verification availability and forwarding protocol functionality in a computer network
TL;DR: In this paper, a local network device may send at least one connectivity verification protocol echo message to the remote network device destined to be returned to the local device and forwarded using a forwarding protocol.
Patent
System and methods for identifying network path performance
TL;DR: In this paper, a system and method for aggregating performance characteristics for core network paths allows computation of message traffic performance over each of the available candidate paths through the core for identifying an optimal core network path.
