Scheduling traffic over aggregated bundles of links
Nitin Kumar,Alex Baban,Nimmagadda Surya Chandra Sekhar,Alok Khambatkone,Saravanan Masilamani,Anand S. Athreya,Vipul Deokar +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe techniques for scheduling traffic for delivery over an aggregated bundle of links, where the data plane monitors transmission of the packets via the links to determine a representation of an amount of data sent per link.
Patent
Fast reroute for multiple label switched paths sharing a single interface
Nitin Kumar,Alex Baban +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a forwarding information base (FIB) within a packet-forwarding engine (PFE) of a router is described, along with a hardware version of the FIB.
Patent
Data structure-less distributed fabric multicast
TL;DR: In this paper, a network device receives a packet with a multicast nexthop identifier, and creates a mask that includes addresses of egress packet forwarding engines, of the network device, to which to provide the packet.
Patent
Packet forwarding path programming using a high-level description language
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a high-level forwarding path description language (FPDL) for describing internal forwarding paths within a network device. The FPDL provides syntactical elements for specifying the allocation of forwarding path structures as well as enabling the run-time construction of internal forwarding path to interconnect the forwarding path structure in a manner specific to packet, packet flow, and/or interface properties.
Patent
Member link status change handling for aggregate interfaces
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for handling member link state changes in an aggregate interface is provided for handling link state change in the aggregate interface, where the mask identifies the current state of each link in the aggregated interface.
