摘要： MPLS networks offering PW or VPLS services may be interconnected with Ethernet networks implemented according to 802.1ah or 802.1Qay. The MPLS network may be a core and offer services to the Ethernet access networks, or vise-versa. Additionally, a mixture of different types of access networks may be interconnected by an MPLS core or an Ethernet core. Both network interworking and service interworking are provided. OAM fault detection may be implemented via maintenance entities extending across the network or end to end depending on the combination of networks and services offered by the networks.

摘要： Nodes on an Ethernet network run a link state protocol on the control plane and install shortest path forwarding state into their FIBs to allow packets to follow shortest paths through the network without requiring MAC header replacement at each hop through the network. When a node learns an IP address, it will insert the IP address into its link state advertisement to advertise reachability of the IP address to the other nodes on the network. Each node will add this IP address to its link state database. If a packet arrives at an ingress node, the ingress node will read the IP address, determine which node on the link state protocol controlled Ethernet network is aware of the IP address, and construct a MAC header to forward the packet to the correct node. The DA/VID of the MAC header is the nodal MAC of the node that advertised the IP address. Unicast and multicast IP forwarding may be implemented.

摘要： Nodes on a link state protocol controlled Ethernet network implement a link state routing protocol such as IS-IS. Nodes assign an IP address or I-SID value per VRF and then advertise the IP addresses or I-SID values in IS-IS LSAs. When a packet is to be forwarded on the VPN, the ingress node identifies the VRF for the packet and performs an IP lookup in customer address space in the VRF to determine the next hop and the IP address or I-SID value of the VRF on the egress node. The ingress node prepends an I-SID or IP header to identify the VRFs and then creates a MAC header to allow the packet to be forwarded to the egress node on the link state protocol controlled Ethernet network. When the packet is received at the egress node, the MAC header is stripped from the packet and the appended I-SID or IP header is used to identify the egress VRF. A customer address space IP lookup is then performed in the identified VRF on the egress node using the information in the client IP header to determine how to forward the packet. Customer reachability information within a VPN may be exchanged between VRFs using iBGP, or directly by using link state protocol LSAs tagged with the relevant I-SID.

摘要： Multicast capabilities of a link state protocol controlled network are used to accelerate the flooding advertisement of topology change notifications within portions of the network. This flooding mechanism may be particularly efficient in a network with a large number of two-connected nodes such as a ring network architecture. A control plane specific multicast group address is used when flooding topology change notifications, and a process such as reverse path forwarding check is used as an additional control on forwarding of the notification to prevent looping of control plane packets. Two-connected nodes insert a forwarding entry into their FIB to enable frames containing the control message to be forwarded via the data plane on to the downstream node so that propagation of the control message along a chain of two-connected nodes may occur at data plane speeds.
摘要翻译：链路状态协议控制网络的组播功能用于加速网络部分内的拓扑变化通知的泛洪广告。这种洪泛机制在具有大量双连接节点（例如环网架构）的网络中可能是特别有效的。泛洪拓扑变化通知时使用控制平面特定的组播组地址，并且使用诸如反向路径转发检查之类的过程作为通知转发的附加控制，以防止控制平面分组的循环。双连接节点将转发条目插入到其FIB中，以使包含控制消息的帧能够经由数据平面转发到下游节点，使得控制消息沿双连接节点链的传播可能发生在数据平面速度。

摘要： Routes may be installed across multiple link state protocol controlled Ethernet network areas by causing ABBs to leak I-SID information advertised by BEBs a L1 network area into an L2 network area. ABBs will only leak I-SIDs for BEBs where it is the closest ABB for that BEB. Where another ABB on the L2 network also leaks the same I-SID into the L2 network area from another L1 network area, the I-SID is of multi-area interest. ABBs will advertise I-SIDs that are common to the L1 and L2 networks back into their respective L1 network. Within each L1 and L2 network area, forwarding state will be installed between network elements advertising common interest in an ISID, so that multi-area paths may be created to span the L1/L2/L1 network areas. ABBs may summarize BEB multicast trees such that the set of trees for a given I-SID transiting the ABB is condensed into a common tree. The L2 network may further be implemented as a second layer implemented using a L1/L2/L1 network structure, so that the L1/L2/L1 network structure may recurse an arbitrary number of times.
摘要翻译：可以通过使ABB将由L1B网络区域发布的I-SID信息泄漏到L2网络区域中，将多个链路状态协议控制的以太网网络上的路由安装到L2网络区域。 ABB只会泄漏BEB的I-SID，而该BEB是该BEB最接近的ABB。在L2网络上的另一个ABB也从另一个L1网络区域将相同的I-SID泄漏到L2网络区域中，I-SID具有多方面的兴趣。 ABB将通过将L1和L2网络通用的I-SID广播回各自的L1网络。在每个L1和L2网络区域内，转发状态将被安装在对ISID广播共同兴趣的网元之间，从而可以创建多区域路径来跨越L1 / L2 / L1网络区域。 ABB可能会总结BEB组播树，以便将通过ABB的给定I-SID的树组合成一个公共树。 L2网络还可以被实现为使用L1 / L2 / L1网络结构实现的第二层，使得L1 / L2 / L1网络结构可以递归任意次数。

摘要： An OAM link trace message is sent from a source node to a target node in a link state protocol controlled Ethernet network. The link trace message uses an 802.1ag format except, as a destination address, it uses either the unicast Ethernet MAC node ID of the target node or the multicast destination address of the service instance. Network topology verification in a link state protocol controlled Ethernet network checks the link state protocol database at a node to ascertain the control plane topology view of at least part of the network. One or more Ethernet OAM commands from the node are executed to ascertain the data plane topology view of the same part of the network. The control plane topology view of the network is compared to the data plane topology view of the network to see if they match. An error is flagged if they do not match.
