Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for providing a MAC-based redistribution policy between networks in a multi-area network. A network can have a boundary node that communicates to neighboring networks. Boundary nodes can receive policy updates that identify which services are redistributable across network boundaries. Boundary nodes can receive a packet for a service, translate the packet's encapsulation, and forward the packet across the boundary towards a destination node. Boundary nodes can forward the packet such that it originates in the second network from a virtual node.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for managing redistribution and remapping of multicast services between networks in a multi-area network. Multicast streams can be sent through networks from a source node towards a boundary node. The boundary node can receive the multicast stream, remap a source node identifier and service instance identifier, and forward the multicast stream into a second network. The boundary node can receive a route for the multicast stream. The route can be installed in a link-state database and can be used to send the multicast stream through the multi-area network from the source node to a destination node.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer readable media for link aggregation using digests are described. In some implementations, the method can include obtaining information about each port in a group of one or more ports. The method can also include computing a digest corresponding to each port in the group of one or more ports, the digest being based on the information about the corresponding port. The method can further include determining whether each port in the group of one or more ports is suitable for aggregation in a link aggregation group by comparing the digest corresponding to each port with a digest of a port in the link aggregation group.
