摘要： Techniques are described for distributing network device tasks across virtual machines executing in a computing cloud. A network device includes a network interface to send and receive messages, a routing unit comprising one or more processors configured to execute a version of a network operating system, and a virtual machine agent. The virtual machine agent is configured to identify a virtual machine executing at a computing cloud communicatively coupled to the network device, wherein the identified virtual machine executes an instance of the version of the network operating system, to send, using the at least one network interface and to the virtual machine, a request to perform a task, and to receive, using the at least one network interface and from the virtual machine, a task response that includes a result of performing the task. The routing unit is configured to update the network device based on the result.

摘要： Routers balance network traffic among multiple paths through a network according to an amount of bandwidth that can be sent on an outgoing interface computed for each of the paths. For example, a router receives a link bandwidth for network links that are positioned between the first router and a second router of the network, and selects a plurality of forwarding paths from the first router to the second router. Upon determining that one of the network links is shared by multiple of the plurality of forwarding paths, the router computes a path bandwidth for each of the plurality of outgoing interfaces so as to account for splitting of link bandwidth of the shared network link across the multiple forwarding paths that share the network link. The router assigns packet flows to the forwarding paths based at least on the computed amount of bandwidth for each of the outgoing interfaces.

摘要： Techniques described in this disclosure relate to configuration updates, such as performing an in-service software upgrade on a device, using virtual machines. In a routing device, a routing engine utilizes a virtual machine executing on a hypervisor to provide control plane functions. In one example, an in-service software upgrade may be performed between a first virtual machine and a second virtual machine without a managing virtual machine. More specifically, a first virtual machine in the control plane of the router may control the upgrade process, including requesting initialization of the second virtual machine, installing a new software system on the second virtual machine, and replicating state data from the first virtual machine to the second virtual machine. In this example, the first virtual machine may operate as a master virtual machine and the second virtual machine may operate as a slave virtual machine that synchronizes with the master virtual machine.

摘要： Techniques are described for providing high availability for a network device, e.g., a router, using full memory replication between a primary virtual machine (VM) and a standby VM running on the network device. In one example, the techniques provide hot-standby high availability for a router by initializing a primary VM and a standby VM on the router at the same time. In another example, the techniques provide high availability for the router by initializing a standby VM on the router upon detecting a failure of the primary VM. In both examples, the primary VM controls the routing functionality and periodically stores a full memory state. Upon a failure of the primary VM, a hypervisor may perform a full memory replication between the primary VM and the standby VM. The standby VM may then take control of the routing functionality at the last stored state of the memory.
摘要翻译：描述了用于为网络设备（例如路由器）提供高可用性的技术，其使用在主虚拟机（VM）和在网络设备上运行的备用虚拟机之间的完全存储器复制。在一个示例中，这些技术通过在路由器上同时初始化主VM和备用虚拟机来为路由器提供热备用高可用性。在另一个示例中，这些技术通过在检测到主VM的故障时在路由器上初始化备用虚拟机来为路由器提供高可用性。在这两个示例中，主虚拟机控制路由功能并定期存储完整的内存状态。在主虚拟机发生故障时，管理程序可能会在主虚拟机和备用虚拟机之间执行完整的内存复制。然后，备用VM可以在存储器的最后存储状态下控制路由功能。

摘要： A system includes a storage device to store information associated with virtual nodes that correspond to network nodes. The system also includes a server to install a virtual node that corresponds to one of the network nodes, based on the information associated with the virtual node, where installing the virtual node includes creating a logical interface for sending traffic to, or receiving traffic from, other virtual nodes; start the virtual node to create an operating virtual node based on a copy of an operating system that runs on the network node, where starting the virtual node causes the operational virtual node to execute the copy of the operating system; and cause the operating virtual node to communicate with a virtual network, that includes the other virtual nodes, to allow the operating virtual node to receive or forward traffic associated with the virtual network.
