Redundancy of network services in restricted networks

摘要

Methods, systems, and devices are described for managing virtual network services provided to a network. Network services may be provided to a client network having a first network fabric at a self-contained network services system implementing a number of redundant instances of a network service application. The self-contained network services system may have a second network fabric. The second network fabric may be adapted to distribute network service tasks received from the client network which are associated with the network service application among the redundant instances of the network service application.

1. A method of managing network services, comprising:
providing network services to a client network comprising a first network fabric at a self-contained network services system implementing a number of redundant instances of a network service application, the self-contained network services system comprising a second network fabric; and reconfiguring at least one policy-based forwarding device of the second network fabric in response to a change in the redundant instances of the network service application to distribute network service tasks received from the client network which are associated with the network service application among the redundant instances of the network service application.
