OPTIMIZED LINK FAILURE CONVERGENCE FOR RESILIENT ETHERNET PROTOCOL NETWORKS |
| 摘要 |
Embodiments provide techniques for optimizing link failure convergence for Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) networks. Embodiments include monitoring for link failure events within the REP environment. Additionally, upon determining, at a first network switch within the REP environment, that a link failure event has occurred within the REP environment, embodiments include transmitting a Hardware Flood Layer (HFL) notification data packet specifying a Time-to-Live (TTL) value of 2 to a second network switch within the REP environment and purging contents of a Media Access Control (MAC) table on the first network switch. |

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer program code that, when executed, performs an operation comprising:
monitoring for link failure events within a Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) environment; and upon determining, at a first network switch within the REP environment, that a link failure event has occurred within the REP environment:
transmitting a Hardware Flood Layer (HFL) notification data packet specifying a Time-to-Live (TTL) value of 2 to a second network switch within the REP environment; andpurging contents of a Media Access Control (MAC) table on the first network switch. |
