Reducing or eliminating routing microloops in networks having a clos topology, such as data center clos networks employing the exterior border gateway protocol (EBGP) for example

The problem of routing micro-loops in networks having a CLOS topology, such as data center CLOS networks employing the exterior border gateway protocol (eBGP) for example, is solved by: (a) receiving, on an interface of one of the nodes, a datagram, the datagram including destination information; (b) determining a next hop and an egress interface using (1) an identifier of the interface on which the datagram was received, (2) the destination information of the received datagram, and (3) stored forwarding information such that a routing micro-loop is avoided without discarding the datagram; and (c) forwarding the datagram via the egress interface. For example, this problem may be solved by (a) receiving, on an interface a node of the CLOS network, a datagram, the datagram including destination information; (b) looking up, using the destination information of the received datagram and stored forwarding information, a next hop egress interface on the node; (c) determining whether or not the next hop egress interface on the node is the same as the interface on which the datagram was received; and (d) responsive to a determination that the next hop egress interface on the node is the same as the interface on which the datagram was received, (1) replacing the next hop egress interface with a safe multipath next hop egress interface, and (2) forwarding the datagram via the safe multipath next hop egress interface, and otherwise, responsive to a determination that the next hop egress interface on the node is not the same at the interface on which the datagram was received, simply forwarding the datagram via the next hop egress interface.

Decoupling storage controller cache read replacement from write retirement

In a data storage controller, accessed tracks are temporarily stored in a cache, with write data being stored in a first cache and a second cache and read data being stored in a second cache . Corresponding least recently used (LRU) lists are maintained to hold entries identifying the tracks stored in the caches. When the list holding entries for the first cache (the A list) is full, the list is scanned to identify unmodified (read) data which can be discarded from the cache to make room for new data. Prior to or during the scan, modified (write) data entries are moved to the most recently used (MRU) end of the list, allowing the scans to proceed in an efficient manner and reducing the number of times the scan has to skip over modified entries. Optionally, a status bit may be associated with each modified data entry. When the modified entry is moved to the MRU end of the A list without being requested to be read, its status bit is changed from an initial state to a second state, indicating that it is a candidate to be discarded. If the status bit is already set to the second state, then it is left unchanged. If a modified track is moved to the MRU end of the A list as a result of being requested to be read, the status bit of the corresponding A list entry is changed back to the first state, preventing the track from being discarded. Thus, write tracks are allowed to remain in the first cache only as long as necessary.

Bandwidth resource saving method

The invention discloses a method of saving the bandwidth resource, comprising the following: a source node or an access node constructs a path detection requesting message carrying information according to the maximum available bandwidth from a local node to the inyoite interface link of a destination node, and sends the message to a middle node on a path from the local node to the destination node; after the middle node receives the path detection requesting message, the middle node compares the maximum available bandwidth from the local node to the inyoite interface link of the destination node with that in the requesting message to replace the maximum available bandwidth value or directly forwards the maximum available bandwidth value to a next node; and after the destination node receives the path detection requesting message, the destination node constructs a path detection reversion message, carries the maximum available bandwidth in the requesting message, and sends the reversion message to the source node or the access node. The invention perceives the path bandwidth in advance, controls the flow bandwidth at the source node or the access node, and saves the bandwidth resource of the middle node, thereby making the flow on the network link reach the optimum rate of utilization and throughput and improving the availability and the safety of the network.
