62 results about "Label switching router" patented technology

A label switching router (LSR) makes up the core of a label-switched network. Label-switched networks are made up of predetermined paths, called label-switched paths, (LSPs) which are the result of establishing source-destination pairs by the process called Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS).

Detecting data plane liveliness of a label-switched path

Detecting if a label-switched path (LSP) is functioning properly. To test that packets that belong to a particular Forwarding Equivalence Class (FEC) actually end their MPLS LSP on an label switching router (LSR) that is an egress for that FEC, a request message carrying information about the FEC whose LSP is being verified may be used. The request message may be forwarded like any other packet belonging to that FEC. A basic connectivity test as well as a fault isolation test are supported. In a basic connectivity test mode, the packet should reach the end of the LSP, at which point it is sent to the control plane of the egress LSR. The LSR then verifies that it is indeed an egress for the FEC. In a fault isolation test mode, the packet is sent to the control plane of each transit LSR, which performs various checks that it is indeed a transit LSR for the LSP. The transit LSR may also return further information that helps check the control plane against the data plane, i.e., that forwarding matches what the routing protocols determined as the path. A reliable return path is used for the reply.

Communicating constraint information for determining a path subject to such constraints

Path determination constraints may be encoded in the form of a program having one or more instructions. Each of instructions may include an operation code, and operands (or pointers to locations where operands are stored). In this way, an extensible, interoperable way for a nodes (e.g., label-switching routers) to communicate constraints within a network is provided. Such constraints may be inserted (e.g., as one or more CONSTRAINT objects) into signaling messages (e.g., a PATH RSVP message). By enabling the signaling of constraints, the determination of constraint-based (label-switched) paths can be distributed among a number of (label-switching) routers or other nodes. Upon receiving a message with constraints (e.g., a CONSTRAINT object(s)), a node may (i) ignore the constraints if the node is a tail-end node (label-switching router), (ii) apply the constraints to a link if the next hop in the (label-switched) path is strict, and / or (iii) perform a constraint-based path determination to a next hop if the next hop is loose.

Communication connection bypass method capable of minimizing traffic loss when failure occurs

Backup LSPs (label switched path) are established from LSRs (label switching router) except the egress LSR of a main LSP. Each backup LSP is established between an LSR that functions as a starting node and the egress LSR so as not to include any link or node on the main LSP to be protected. When the backup LSP is established such that it merges into another pre-established backup LSP protecting the same main LSP, merging is performed at the LSR located at the merge point.

Backhaul multicasting using Ethernet-based radio access networks

The present invention sets forth a methodology for providing improved downlink backhaul services from a radio network controller (RNC) to a plurality of base stations via a backhaul network that provides Ethernet services. The Ethernet services are provided by a group of provider edge (PE) switches and regular label switch routers (referred to as P switches). Base stations within the network are assigned into clusters, each of the clusters having a cluster ID. The RNC transmits packets to a given switch or switches out on the network based on a cluster ID included within the transmitted packet. The communications traffic is then multicast from at least one last hop switch in the network to candidate base stations on the basis of the cluster ID and an active set within the cluster. Advantageously, the clusters act as subgroups for more easily directing the transmission of the backhaul multicast traffic. Significant advantages are realized through use of the present invention, including the ability to allow faster and smoother handoffs, as well as backhaul bandwidth savings since intelligence regarding cell switching is extended out at a point farther along the network than was previously enabled.

Trigger for packing path computation requests

A technique triggers packing of path computation requests (PCRs) for traffic engineering (TE) label switched paths (LSPs) that are sent from one or more label-switched routers (LSRs) to a path computation element (PCE) of a computer network. According to the novel technique, incoming PCRs are packed into sets in response to a certain event, and one or more TE-LSPs (paths) are computed for each PCR of a particular set based on the PCRs of that set. Specifically, the PCE detects an event in the network (“network event”) indicating that an increase in the number of incoming PCRs has occurred, or that an increase is likely to occur due to, e.g., a change in a network element. Once the net-work event has been detected, the PCE packs the incoming PCRs into configured-length sets, such as, e.g., for a specified time interval or a certain number of PCRs. The PCE computes paths for each PCR of a particular set while considering the other PCRs of that set, thereby reducing race conditions, signaling overhead, and set-up failures.

Disclosed is a technique which reduces the packet loss and the band consumption for data transfer when a mobile terminal conducts the handover between a fixed base station and a mobile base station for group movement. According to this technique, when an MH (mobile terminal) 320 conducts the handover from a fixed base station (E-LSR 230) positioned at an edge of an access network 200 to a mobile base station (MEB 310) located in a train or the like, a predetermined flag is appended to a frame addressed to the MH in a label switching router (P-LSR 210) positioned at a core network 100 side edge of the access network. The frame having the appended flag is copied in the E-LSR 230. One frame after copied is transmitted directly from the E-LSR to the MH while the other frame after copied is transferred from the E-LSR to the MEB and then transmitted from the MEB to the MH, thus realizing the soft handover.

Automation fallback to P2P LSPs for mLDP built multipoint-trees

A method of using a point-to-point (P2P) label switched path (LSP) to transmit multicast data packets partially through a multiprotocol label switched (MPLS) network when one or more label switched routers (LSRs) of the MPLS are not multicast label distribution protocol (mLDP) enabled. The P2P LSP can be used to transmit multicast data packets to the head end of a point-to-multipoint (P2MP) LSP created with mLDP enabled LSRs. The P2MP LSP can be used to transmit the multicast data packets through the MPLS network to intended receivers that are external to the MPLS network. When configuring the P2MP LSP, an mLDP enabled LSR receives a first message from a non-mLDP enabled MPLS core router in response to sending a label mapping message to the non-mLDP enabled MPLS core router. In response, a directed LDP session is created between the mLDP enabled LSR and an edge LSR in one embodiment in response to receiving the first message from an MPLS enabled core router. The directed LDP session can be used to transmit a label mapping message to an ingress LSR.
