DEFAULT GATEWAY REDUNDANCY SUPPORT ACROSS SPB NETWORKS

摘要

Methods, systems and computer readable media for default gateway redundancy support across SPB networks are described. In some implementations, the method can include enabling peer network information exchange on a per-network basis between a plurality of switches in a network and advertising a first address and a second address from each switch in the plurality of switches to the other switches. The method can also include storing, at each switch, the first address and the second address received from the other switches in the plurality of switches. The method can further include routing, at a first switch, traffic for a second switch when the first switch detects that the traffic can be routed more efficiently without being sent to the second switch.

1. A method comprising:
enabling peer network information exchange on a per-network basis between a plurality of switches in a network; advertising a first address and a second address from each switch in the plurality of switches to the other switches; storing, at each switch, the first address and the second address received from the other switches in the plurality of switches; and routing, at a first switch, traffic for a second switch when the first switch detects that the traffic can be routed more efficiently without being sent to the second switch.
