AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

As the number of servers increases, so does the size of the routing table and the complexity of computing the network routes for the routing table
As a result, both the hardware cost and operational complexity of the router increase to unmanageable levels when the number of servers reaches millions or tens of millions

Embodiment Construction

[0017] Certain embodiments of systems, devices, components, modules, routines and processes for configuring and operating computer networks are described below. In the following description, specific details of components are included to provide a thorough understanding of certain embodiments of the technology. Those skilled in the relevant art will also appreciate that the technology may have additional embodiments. This technique can also be used without the following reference Figure 1A-Figure 10 Practice with some details of the described embodiments.

[0018] As used herein, the term "computer network" generally refers to an interconnected network having a plurality of network nodes connecting endpoints to each other and to other networks (eg, the Internet). The term "network node" generally refers to a physical or software emulation of a network device. Example network nodes include routers, switches, hubs, bridges, load balancers, security gateways, firewalls, netwo...

Abstract

Various techniques for partitioning a computer network is disclosed herein. In certain embodiments, control plane functions (e.g., computation of network routes) and / or forwarding plane functions (e.g., routing, forwarding, switching) may be partitioned and performed individually on per domain basis based on (1) a network configuration of a particular domain (e.g., end points and / or lower-level domains in the particular domain); and (2) one or more higher-level domains connected to the particular domain in the hierarchy. Thus, a particular domain can manage various network operations of the domain without concerns regarding end points or network nodes in other domains of the hierarchy. Thus, network configuration and operation may be partitioned to reduce hardware costs and operational complexity even as the size of the overall computer networks increases.

Description

Background technique [0001] A computer network may have a large number of physical or virtual servers interconnected with each other via wired or wireless network links through routers, switches, bridges, or other network nodes. Network nodes may enable communication between servers by exchanging messages over network links according to one or more network protocols. [0002] One difficulty associated with designing and operating computer networks is scalability. As the number of servers increases, the amount of resources required and operational complexity increase. For example, modern routers often host routing tables in memory that specify network routes to specific servers in a computer network. As the number of servers increases, so does the size of the routing table and the complexity of computing the network routes for the routing table. As a result, both hardware cost and operational complexity of routers can increase to unmanageable levels when the number of server...
