Packet Forwarding |
| 摘要 |
An ED within EVI network establishes an EVI tunnel for bearing Ethernet packets and an EVI extension tunnel for bearing IP packets, where both the EVI tunnel and the EVI extension tunnel are connected to a peer ED. The ED sends an Ethernet packet for layer 2 forwarding in an EVI forwarding instance through the EVI tunnel; and sends an IP packet for layer 3 forwarding in the EVI forwarding instance through the EVI extension tunnel. |

1. A method for forwarding a packet by an Edge Device (ED), comprising:
establishing a first Ethernet Virtual Interconnection (EVI) tunnel for bearing Ethernet packets and a first EVI extension tunnel for bearing IP packets, both the first EVI tunnel and the first EVI extension tunnel being connected to a peer ED; sending, through the first EVI tunnel, an Ethernet packet for layer 2 forwarding in an EVI forwarding instance; and sending, through the first EVI extension tunnel, an IP packet for layer 3 forwarding in the EVI forwarding instance. |
