Publication number: 20210367883Abstract: Techniques are described by which a routing protocol, such as border gateway protocol (BGP), is extended to control propagation and importation of information using route targets (RTs) specified as bitmasks that encode link administrative group information. For example, a network control device (e.g., controller) is configured to allocate one or more subset of resources (e.g., nodes or links) of an underlay network to each of one or more virtual networks established over the underlay network. The controller generates a bitmask encoded with link administrative group information of the one or more links. The controller then outputs, to a plurality of provider edge (PE) routers that are participating in a respective virtual network, a routing protocol message to advertise the one or more subset of resources, wherein the routing protocol message includes a route target specified as the bitmask.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2020Publication date: November 25, 2021Applicant: Juniper Networks, Inc.Inventors: Zhaohui Zhang, Jeffrey Haas, Srihari Ramachandra Sangli, Shraddha Hegde

Patent number: 10193807Abstract: In general, techniques are described for dynamically controlling host-bound traffic by dynamically adding and updating, within the forwarding plane of a network device, network packet policers that each constrains, for one or more packet flows, an amount of host-bound traffic of the packet flows permitted to reach the control plane in accordance with available resources. In one example, a control plane of the network device detects internal congestion in the communication path from the forwarding plane to control plane (the “host-bound path”), identifies packet flows utilizing an excessive amount of host-bound path resources, computes limits for the identified packet flows, and adds “penalty-box policers” configured with the computed limits for the identified packet flows to the forwarding plane. The forwarding plane subsequently applies the policers to the identified packet flows to constrain the amount of traffic of the packet flows allowed to reach the control plane to the computed limits.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2016Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignee: Juniper Networks, Inc.Inventors: Alia Atlas, John Galen Scudder, Ross W.
