Abstract

A method is implemented by a network device executing a local computation engine and a link state routing protocol. The local computation engine and the link state protocol support automatic establishment of redundant paths and cautious restoration in a packet network. The method includes receiving an explicit path (EP) type length value (TLV) via a link state routing protocol, executing a shortest path algorithm to obtain a shortest path for loose hops of a path identified by the EP TLV, the shortest path to be a primary path, updating a network graph to prune links of the primary path or bias links of the primary path, and calculating a backup path using the shortest path algorithm on the updated network graph.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61 / 863,337, filed August 7, 2013. technical field [0003] Embodiments of the invention relate to methods and apparatus for providing path establishment and restoration in packet networks. In particular, embodiments of the invention relate to methods for path restoration in media access control (MAC) bridges and virtual bridged local area networks. Background technique [0004] Forwarding paths within a network are usually automatically controlled by a path control protocol, which provides a single kind of path, such as the shortest path, between selected endpoints. For example, the Spanning Tree Protocol is traditionally used in Ethernet networks for path control. Link state control protocols such as Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) or Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing protocols are used for path control in IP n...
