86 results about "Ingress router" patented technology

An "ingress router" is a Label Switch Router that is a starting point (source) for a given Label Switched Path (LSP). An ingress router may be an egress router or an intermediate router for any other LSP(s). Hence the role of ingress and egress routers is LSP specific. Usually, the MPLS label is attached with an IP packet at the ingress router and removed at the egress router, whereas label swapping is performed on the intermediate routers. However, in special cases (such as LSP Hierarchy in RFC 4206, LSP Stitching and MPLS local protection) the ingress router could be pushing label in label stack of an already existing MPLS packet (instead of an IP packet). Note that, although the ingress router is the starting point of an LSP, it may or may not be the source of the under-lying IP packets.

Router, frame forwarding method, and lower layer frame virtual forwarding system

In an MPLS network, multicast, broadcast and address learning belonging to the layer 2 functions are realized. An ingress router comprises a frame receiving unit, a determining unit, a first frame transmitting unit, a physical address table for multicast, a label switching unit, a tunnel label table, a VCID giving unit, a L2 header creating unit and a second frame transmitting unit. The load on the network is suppressed, the band is efficiently used, and wasteful frame duplication and frame forwarding between edge routers are avoided.

Methods and apparatus for implementing bi-directional signal interfaces using label switch paths

Methods and apparatus for implementing bi-directional logical signal interfaces (LSIs) in communications systems which use uni-directional label switched paths (LSPs), e.g., MPLS networks, are described. To implement an LSI, two uni-directional LSPs between the same end points, e.g., routers, and extending in opposite directions, are associated together. The association of LSPs may be done by setting LSI configuration information in the routers at both ends of an LSI. Each router at the end of an LSI serves as an egress router for one of the LSPs associated with the LSI and an ingress router for the other LSP associated with the LSI. To enable an egress router to determine which, if any, LSI a packet or message corresponds to, a real as opposed to a null label is used when sending packets over an LSI LSP to an LSI LSP egress router.

Content based data packet routing using labels

Disclosed is a content based router, system and method of operation. Upon receipt of a data packet at in ingress router, the ingress router matches the content of the data packet against stored user subscriptions. In one embodiment, the content is described using XML data and the user subscriptions are defined by XML queries. The router assigns a routing label to the data packet based on the matching, and transmits the data packet to a second network router. Intermediate routers along the packets path then use the assigned label in combination with stored routing tables in order to determine next hop routing. Upon receipt at an egress router, the content of the message is matched against user subscriptions for those users serviced by the egress router, and the egress router provides the data packet to those end users whose subscriptions match the content. The assigned routing labels may define routing paths or routing trees.

The present invention includes the functionality of both large IP routers and optical cross-connects combined with a unique, non-blocking optical switching and routing techniques to obtain benefits in speed and interconnected capacity in a data transport network. The present invention can utilize a TWDM wave slot transport scheme in conjunction with a just-in-time scheduling pattern and a unique optical switch configuration that provides for non-blocking transport of data from ingress to egress.One embodiment of the present invention includes a router comprising an ingress edge unit with one or more ports and an egress edge unit with one or more ports connected by a switch fabric. The ingress edge unit can receive optical data and convert the optical data into a plurality of micro lambdas, each micro lambda containing data destined for a particular egress edge port. The ingress edge unit can convert the incoming data to micro lambdas by generating a series of short-term parallel data bursts across multiple wavelengths. The ingress edge unit can also wavelength division multiplex and time domain multiplex each micro lambda for transmission to the switch fabric in a particular order. The switch fabric can receive the plurality of micro lambdas and route the plurality of micro lambdas to the plurality of egress edge units in a non-blocking manner. The router can also include a core controller that receives scheduling information from the plurality of ingress edge units and egress edge units. Based on the scheduling information, the core controller can develop a schedule pattern (i.e., a TWDM cycle) to coordinate the time domain multiplexing of micro lambdas at the plurality of ingress edge units and non-blocking switching of the micro lambdas at the switch fabric.

Egress protection for label switched paths

This disclosure describes techniques for protecting an endpoint of a label switched path. In one embodiment, a system includes an ingress router, a primary egress router, backup router, and a point of local repair (PLR) router. The ingress router, the PLR router, and the first egress router form a first label switched path. The backup router provides protection for the primary egress router such that the backup router provides routing services for the first egress router when the first egress router is not available. The primary egress router and the backup router share an anycast IP address. The backup router advertises a route to reach the primary egress router, but upon receiving a packet intended for the primary egress router, the backup router identifies the destination of the packet and forwards the packet to the destination instead of the primary egress router along a different route.

Switching system

A data switching device has ingress routers and egress routers interconnected by a switching matrix controlled by a controller. Each ingress router maintains one or more virtual output queues for each egress router. The switching matrix itself maintains a head-of queue buffer of cells which are to be transmitted. Each of these queues corresponds to one of the virtual output queues, and the cells stored in the switching matrix are replicated from the cells queuing in the respective virtual output queues. Thus, when it is determined that a connection is to be made between a given input and output of the switching matrix, a cell suitable for transmission along that connection is already available to the switching matrix. Upon receipt of a new cell by one of the ingress routers, the cell is stored in one of the virtual output queues of the ingress router corresponding to the egress router for the cell, and also written the corresponding head of queue buffer, if that buffer has space. If not, the cell is stored, and written to the head of queue buffer when that buffer has space for it.
