A system, method and apparatus for adapting operation of a router configured to receive commonly sourced traffic via primary and secondary Upstream Multicast Hop (UMH) links, wherein the secondary path is cached for a predetermined period of time to avoid data loss upon restoration of the primary path.

System and method for reducing traffic loss while using loop free alternate routes for multicast only fast reroute (MoFRR)

A method for using OpenFlow protocol to configure an OpenFlow-enabled switch is disclosed. In the embodiment, the method involves decoding an OpenFlow flow entry from a flow mod message, the flow entry including two or more actions, searching a Service Access Point (SAP) match table for an outgoing interface having attributes that match the two or more actions, and updating a flow table on the OpenFlow-enabled switch to include the decoded flow entry when an outgoing interface having attributes that match the two or more actions is found.

Method and system for identifying an outgoing interface using openflow protocol

A method for using the OpenFlow protocol to configure an OpenFlow-enabled switch is disclosed. In the embodiment, the method involves decoding an OpenFlow flow entry from a flow mod message, the flow entry including two or more components comprising at least one of a match field and an experimenter field, searching a service access point (SAP) match table for an incoming interface having attributes that match the two or more components, and updating a flow table on the OpenFlow-enabled switch to include the decoded flow entry when an incoming interface having attributes that match the two or more components is found.

Method and system for identifying an incoming interface using openflow protocol

A system, method and apparatus for causing network routers such as Area Border Routers (ABRs) to use a preferred tie-breaking mechanism to select one path in the event of an ERO expansion operation resulting in multiple equal cost paths.

System and method for inter-domain RSVP-TE LSP load balancing

A system, method and apparatus for source redundant MVPN in which a number of Interface Indices is reduced by leaf node Incoming Label Maps (ILM) including one or more Interface Indices common to multiple tunnels.
