The method also includes generating a list of network elements to be notified based on the failure, the second network element is included on the list. The method further includes generating an alarm indication signal (AIS) message, the AIS message identifies a plurality of tunnels affected by the failure. The AIS message is communicated to the second network element. In more detailed embodiments, each link between the first network element and the second network element includes a globally unique link identifier, which includes an associated autonomous system number. The globally unique link identifier can represent a string to be associated with the plurality of tunnels, the globally unique link identifier includes a source address and a destination address.

摘要： A technique may improve LDP-IGP synchronization in a MPLS network when an interface of a router coupled to a communications link along a shortest path between a source router and a destination router becomes newly active. Specifically, an IGP adjacency may be held down over the newly active link while a LDP adjacency is established over the link. The router may inject a temporary, non-redistributable route having a large administrative weight into its routing table utilizing addresses learned during establishment of the LDP adjacency. The injected route ensures that there is a reachable route to a peer router so that LDP may converge. After LDP has converged and all needed label bindings have been distributed in the MPLS network utilizing the injected route, IGP executing on the router may advertise a normal cost metric for the link associated with the newly active interface, and IGP convergence may be completed.

摘要： In one embodiment, an initiating maintenance end point (MEP) may transmit a lock message to lock a circuit traversing one or more maintenance intermediate points (MIPs) between the initiating MEP and an end MEP. The initiating MEP may then transmit an in-band packet containing a loopback request to a particular MIP along the circuit using a particular time-to-live (TTL) value in the packet to reach the particular MIP. Upon receiving the packet at the particular MIP, and in response to determining that the TTL has expired, the particular MIP inspects the packet to discover the loopback request, and correspondingly operates in a loopback mode.

摘要： Improved connectivity verification is disclosed. A root in a point-to-multipoint network can establish parameters for a connectivity-verification session with each endpoint in the network. The root then sends verification-request messages to each endpoint in accordance with the parameters. Each endpoint signals an alarm (e.g., sends a reply to the root) if the verification-request messages are not received at the endpoint in accordance with the established parameters. In this manner, endpoints send verification-reply messages to the root much less frequently, greatly reducing the congestion at the root and greatly reducing the chance that the root gets congested or even overwhelmed when the network includes large numbers of endpoints.

摘要： In one embodiment, a connection verification (CV) message is initiated from an initiating maintenance end point (MEP) for an MPLS LSP, the CV message carried in a packet having a time-to-live (TTL) value of 1. Each maintenance intermediate point (MIP) along the MPLS LSP receives the packet and decrements the TTL, and in response to determining that the TTL equals 0, examines a payload of the packet to determine that the packet carries the CV message. The MIP may then append its MIP ID to a route record field of the payload having any previous MIP IDs of upstream MIPs, and forwards the CV message downstream along the MPLS LSP in a packet having a TTL value of 1. The end MEP receives the CV message, and sends a CV reply having the route record field with MIP IDs and an end MEP ID to the initiating MEP.

摘要： A network communications tunnel is established by assigning a unique label to each communications link between adjacent nodes in a pre-defined network path. A node's unique label is used to forward a data packet to the adjacent node in the pre-defined path. The unique labels for all the nodes in the pre-defined path are stored by each node in the tunnel. A bypass tunnel to bypass a node in the pre-defined path may be established to reroute data packets around a failed communication link in the tunnel. The bypass tunnel may be established before the communication link failure providing fast tunnel restoration.

摘要： A method for processing token identifiers for Layer 3 (L3) control channels when encapsulated in a tunneling protocol. Rather than encapsulating an L3 control channel with a secondary L3 (or Layer 4 ‘L4 ’) header, a generic (non-Layer 3 header) identifier, or token identifier, is used to encapsulate the control channel. For example, the token identifier may be a simple bit pattern that does not require a complex, confusing or redundant IP/UDP routing table lookup. Instead, the token identifier simply alerts the forwarding entity that local processing of the packet's data is required (e.g., that the packet contains control channel data).
摘要翻译：一种用于在封装在隧道协议中时处理第3层（L3）控制信道的令牌标识符的方法。使用辅助L3（或层4'L4'）报头封装L3控制信道，而不是使用通用（非第3层报头）标识符或令牌标识符来封装控制信道。例如，令牌标识符可以是不需要复杂，混淆或冗余的IP / UDP路由表查找的简单位模式。相反，令牌标识符简单地提醒转发实体，需要对分组的数据进行本地处理（例如，该分组包含控制信道数据）。

摘要： A method of forwarding data in a data communications network having a plurality of nodes comprises the steps, performed at a repairing node, of computing the repair path around a network component to a target node and forwarding data along the repair path. The computing step comprises the step of computing an intermediate node reachable by the repairing node and from which the target node can be reached. The forwarding step includes the step of constructing a Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) packet for forwarding to the intermediate node.
