A data packet is received at a network switch. The packet has a destination address that is reached via a Link Aggregation group on a virtual local area network (VLAN). A forwarding database lookup is performed to determine a Link Aggregation port reference number for the data packet on the VLAN. A Link Aggregation port table is then searched to determine the primary Link Aggregation port and a backup Link Aggregation port for forwarding the packet. A port array for ports in the Link Aggregation group is searched to determine if the primary Link Aggregation port is valid. If the primary port is valid, then the packet is forwarded on the primary Link Aggregation port. If the primary port is not valid, then the packet is forwarded on the backup Link Aggregation port.

A system and method for introducing a loopback capability for Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) bi-directional traffic trunks are discussed. MPLS is an emerging technology, which integrates Internet Protocol (IP) routing with label switching techniques. MPLS intends to provide new capabilities in the area of traffic engineering for IP networks. These traffic engineering capabilities will have to be combined with a set of complementary operation, administration and maintenance (OA&M) functions for effectively managing and operating MPLS-based networks. One such function is loopback. A loopback function provides the capability to transmit a OA&M packet on one or more segments of a bi-directional traffic trunk (BTT) in a MPLS network. Using a loopback function, parameters of a BTT, such as connectivity, delay and other Quality of Service (QoS) parameters, can be tested. The system and method provide different techniques for implementing loopback in an MPLS network.

An approach is provided for auto-bandwidth adjusting bandwidth allocations for traffic-engineered tunnels used to carry traffic along a network. Traffic over the tunnel is sampled at a first interval period and at a second interval period, where the second interval period is shorter than the first interval period.

Also, a determination can be made as to whether the sampled traffic taken using the first interval period is less than the bandwidth allocation, and the bandwidth allocation can be adjusted downward based upon a determination that the sampled traffic taken using the first interval period is less than the bandwidth allocation.

Methods and apparatus for allowing routers in an autonomous system to implement LDP and RSVP at the same time. RSVP can be used in the network core with LDP being used in network regions surrounding the core. LDP LSPs are tunneled through the RSVP network core using RSVP LSPs and label stacking techniques. During route selection LDP LSPs which use an RSVP LSP tunnel are preferred over alternative LDP LSPs having an equal cost associated with them to create a preference for traffic engineered routes.

Techniques are described for detecting failure or degradation of a service enabling technology function independent from an operational state of a service node hosting the service enabling technology function. For example, a service node may provide one or more service enabling technology functions, and service engineered paths may be traffic-engineered through a network to service node network devices that host a service enabling technology function.

The monitor component reports detection of failure or degradation to a fault detection network protocol in a forwarding plane of the service node. The fault detection network protocol communicates with an ingress router of a service engineered path to trigger fast reroute by the ingress of traffic flows to bypass the affected service enabling technology function.

Traffic Engineered (TE) paths may be created over a link state protocol controlled Ethernet network by causing explicit paths to be installed by network elements on the link state protocol controlled Ethernet network and used to forward traffic on the network. The network elements exchange routing information using link state advertisements to enable each node on the network to build a link state database that may be used to determine shortest paths through the network. The shortest paths are used as a default forwarding state for traffic that is not associated with one of the traffic engineered paths. The link state advertisements 'may also be used to carry the TE path definitions. Where the TE paths are to be used exclusive of other routes, forwarding state for particular service instances may be removed to prevent traffic from traversing the network other than over the TE path.
