DISTRIBUTING NON-UNICAST ROUTES INFORMATION IN A TRILL NETWORK |
摘要 |
The present invention discloses a method for processing non-unicast routes information in a TRILL network and a corresponding RBridge, wherein the RBridge has a neighbor relation with a plurality of other RBridges in the TRILL network, and the RBridge is the RBridge which computes non-unicast routes information in the neighbor relation, and in the method, the RBridge executes steps of: sending an acknowledgement message to the plurality of other RBridges, wherein the acknowledgement message acknowledges that the RBridge is the RBridge which computes the non-unicast routes information; obtaining a network topology related to the non-unicast routes information in the TRILL network; computing the non-unicast routes information based on the network topology; and distributing the computed non-unicast routes information to the plurality of other RBridges. The method and the corresponding RBridge are capable of reducing consumption of CPU resource of RBridges in the TRILL network. |

1. A method for processing non-unicast routes information in a Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) network, wherein a Routing Bridge (RBridge) having a routing forwarding feature and a plurality of other RBridges have a neighbor relation in the TRILL network, and the RBridge is a RBridge which computes non-unicast routes information in the neighbor relation, and in the method, the RBridge executes steps of:
sending an acknowledgement message to the plurality of other RBridges, wherein the acknowledgement message acknowledges that the RBridge is the RBridge which computes the non-unicast routes information; obtaining a network topology related to the non-unicast routes information in the TRILL network; computing the non-unicast routes information based on the network topology; and distributing the computed non-unicast routes information to the plurality of other RBridges. |
