Abstract
A networking device can include a packet processing pipeline circuit and a processor. The packet processing pipeline circuit can be configured to implement a data plane and the processor can be configured to implement a control plane. The packet processing pipeline circuit and the processor can also be configured to send a plurality of heartbeat packets on multiple paths to a second networking device. The data plane can produce and send the heartbeat packets to the second networking device within a heartbeat period. The data plane may send a second plurality of heartbeat packets on multiple paths to the second networking device with a second heartbeat period. The heartbeat packets can have unique packet five tuples that include an IP address of the second networking device.
