摘要： A technique efficiently selects a Path Computation Element (PCE) to compute a path between nodes of a computer network. The PCE selection technique is illustratively based on dynamic advertisements of the PCE's available path computation resources, using (i) a low-pass filter algorithm to compute such resources, and (ii) threshold determinations to control distribution of those advertisements. To that end, the novel technique enables one or more PCEs to dynamically send (advertise) their available path computation resources to a Path Computation Client (PCC) by way of the controlled advertisements. In addition, the technique enables the PCC to efficiently select a PCE (or set of PCEs) to service a path computation request based upon those available resources.

摘要： A technique for calculating local repair paths through a computer network using one or more dynamically measured parameters in place of, or in addition to, statically assigned cost metrics. The dynamically measured parameters include various statistical measures of resources and attributes associated with data links and/or network nodes in the computer network. In operation, an intermediate node monitors a set of local link and/or node parameters. The node may generate an advertisement in response to at least one of its monitored parameters crossing a predetermined threshold value or changing value by a predetermined percentage or amount. The advertisement is “flooded” so as to advertise the dynamically measured parameter value to other neighboring intermediate nodes. After receiving the advertisement, each node may recalculate one or more local repair paths based on the advertised parameter value. The node may utilize a recalculated repair path if it provides an appreciably lower-cost path, e.g., by a predetermined percentage, as compared with the currently deployed repair path.
摘要翻译：一种用于通过使用一个或多个动态测量参数来代替静态分配的成本度量来计算通过计算机网络的局部修复路径的技术。动态测量的参数包括与计算机网络中的数据链路和/或网络节点相关联的资源和属性的各种统计测量。在运行中，中间节点监视一组本地链路和/或节点参数。该节点可以响应于其所监视的参数中的至少一个与预定阈值相交或者以预定百分比或数量改变值来生成广告。广告被“淹没”，以便将动态测量的参数值通告给其他相邻的中间节点。在接收到广告之后，每个节点可以基于所通告的参数值重新计算一个或多个本地修复路径。如果节点可以使用重新计算的修复路径，如果其与当前部署的修复路径相比提供了明显较低成本的路径，例如，以预定百分比。

摘要： In one embodiment, a loss of communication is detected between a first edge device of a computer network and a neighboring routing domain. A data packet is received at the first edge device, where the received data packet contains a destination address that is reachable via the neighboring routing domain. A determination is made whether a service label is located in a Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) label stack included in the received data packet. A service label in the MPLS label stack indicates that the received data packet was previously rerouted in accordance with fast reroute (FRR) operations. In response to a determination that the received data packet does not include a service label in the MPLS label stack, the received data packet is rerouted to a second edge device of the computer network for forwarding to the neighboring routing domain.

摘要： A local fast reroute (FRR) technique is implemented at the edge of a computer network. In accordance with the technique, if an edge device detects a node or link failure that prevents it from communicating with a neighboring routing domain, the edge device reroutes at least some data packets addressed to that domain to a backup edge device which, in turn, forwards the packets to the neighboring domain. The rerouted packets are designated as being “protected” (i.e., rerouted) data packets before they are forwarded to the backup edge device. The backup edge device identifies protected data packets as those which contain a predetermined “service” label in their MPLS label stacks. In other words, the service label is used as an identifier for packets that have been FRR rerouted. Upon receiving a data packet containing a service label, the backup edge device is not permitted to reroute the packet a second time, e.g., in response to another inter-domain node or link failure, thereby preventing loops from developing at the edge of the network.

摘要： A technique gracefully shuts down network resources, such as nodes, interfaces and protocols, in a data network in a manner that minimizes network disruption. The technique may be used with both connectionless and connection-oriented networking systems. A node gracefully shuts down a network resource associated with the node by i) notifying other nodes in the network that the resource is being gracefully shutdown, ii) waiting for a condition to occur, and iii) when the condition occurs, shutting down the resource. The condition may include the expiration of a predetermined amount of time and/or monitoring the resource to determine if the resource has reached a certain level of activity. In response to receiving a notification that a resource is being gracefully shutdown, a node takes action to reroute traffic around the resource. If no alternative route is available, the node may continue to route traffic to the resource until it is shut down.

摘要： A technique protects against failure of a network element using Multi-Topology Repair Routing (MTRR) in a computer network. According to the novel technique, a protecting node (e.g., a router) maintains Multi-Topology Routing (MTR) databases for a first topology and at least a second topology. The protecting node determines whether any acceptable repair paths are available in the first topology for a protected network element (e.g., node, link, etc.) of the first topology. If not, the protecting node may establish a repair path (e.g., for Fast ReRoute, FRR) in the second topology for the protected network element.

摘要： A technique triggers optimization of a traffic engineering (TE) label switched path (LSP) that spans multiple domains of a computer network from a head-end node of a local domain to a tail-end node of a remote domain. The technique is based on the detection of an event in the remote domain (“event domain”) that could create a more optimal TE-LSP, such as, e.g., restoration of a network element or increased available bandwidth. Specifically, a path computation element (PCE) in the event domain learns of the event and notifies other PCEs of the event through an event notification. These PCEs then flood an event notification to label switched routers (LSRs) in their respective domain. Upon receiving the notification, if an LSR has one or more TE-LSPs (or pending TE-LSPs), it responds to the PCE with an optimization request for the TE-LSPs. The PCE determines whether a particular TE-LSP may benefit from optimization based on the event domain (i.e., whether the TE-LSP uses the event domain), and processes the request accordingly.
摘要翻译：一种技术触发跨越计算机网络的多个域从本地域的头端节点到远程域的尾端节点的流量工程（TE）标签交换路径（LSP）的优化。该技术基于对远程域（“事件域”）中的事件的检测，其可以创建更优化的TE-LSP，例如网络元件的恢复或增加的可用带宽。具体地，事件域中的路径计算元素（PCE）学习事件并通过事件通知通知其他PCE事件。然后，这些PCE将事件通知泛滥到其各自域中的标签交换路由器（LSR）。在收到通知后，如果LSR有一个或多个TE-LSP（或待处理的TE-LSP），则对该TEE的优先请求响应PCE。 PCE确定特定TE-LSP是否可以从基于事件域的优化（即，TE-LSP是否使用事件域）获益，并且相应地处理该请求。

摘要： A technique treats a protected forwarding adjacency (FA) as a dynamic entity in that it allows a backup tunnel associated with the FA to carry traffic for the FA, when it's primary tunnel has failed, up to a predetermined amount of time. If after the predetermined amount of time has elapsed and the FA has not recovered (e.g., the primary tunnel has not been reestablished), a network topology change is automatically triggered causing the network to converge on a new network topology. By triggering the network topology change, a path that is more optimal than the path associated with the backup tunnel may be subsequently determined to carry the traffic.
摘要翻译：一种技术将受保护的转发邻接（FA）视为动态实体，因为当主隧道发生故障时，它允许与FA相关联的备用隧道携带FA的流量，直到预定的时间量。如果经过了预定的时间量并且FA没有恢复（例如，主隧道没有被重新建立），则自动地触发网络拓扑变化，导致网络收敛在新的网络拓扑上。通过触发网络拓扑变化，可以随后确定比与备用隧道相关联的路径更优化的路径来承载流量。

摘要： In one embodiment, an edge device in a first routing domain is configured to communicate with a second routing domain via a data link. The edge device receives a data packet containing a destination address that is reachable via the second routing domain and an indication that the data packet is a protected packet that was previously rerouted from another edge device in the first routing domain via a Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Fast Reroute (FRR) backup path. The edge device determines if communication with the second routing domain is still available via the data link, and if so, removes the indication that the data packet is a protected packet and forwards the data packet to the second routing domain, and, if not, drops the data packet to prevent the data packet from being rerouted a second time in the first routing domain on another MPLS FRR backup path.
