Patent number: 11979256Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, by a route reflector, a subscription request from a first provider edge node in a network and generating a subscription policy for the first provider edge node. The method also includes receiving a first Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) Type 2 Route from a second provider edge node, assigning a sequence number to the first EVPN Type 2 Route, and communicating the first EVPN Type 2 Route with the sequence number to the first provider edge node. The method further includes receiving a second EVPN Type 2 Route from a third provider edge node, generating an updated sequence number in response to receiving the second EVPN Type 2 Route from the third provider edge node, and communicating the second EVPN Type 2 Route with the updated sequence number to the first provider edge node and the second provider node.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Neeraj Malhotra, Balaji Pitta Venkatachalapathy, Krishnaswamy Muddenahally Ananthamurthy, Ali Sajassi, Dhananjaya Kasargod Rao

Patent number: 11811546Abstract: A networking environment includes a first node and a second node configured as Ethernet Virtual Private Networking (EVPN) peers on an EVPN subnet that is coupled to a Layer 3 VPN over a core network. The first node receives a first multicast join request from a third node in the core network, the first multicast join request including a source address and multicast group address of a source of a multicast stream. The first node determines that the source address and the multicast group address for the source are behind the EVPN subnet at the second node. The first node sends to the second node, a control plane join request message that includes a receiver identifier that identifies the third node as a receiver of the multicast stream, the receiver identifier enabling the second node to forward the multicast stream directly into the core network to the third node.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2021Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Mankamana Prasad Mishra, Ali Sajassi, Ijsbrand Wijnands, Krishnaswamy Muddenahally Ananthamurthy, Jayashree Subramanian

Patent number: 11190394Abstract: In one embodiment, a first computer networking device executes an election algorithm to determine whether at least the first computer networking device or a second computer networking device is responsible for forwarding, to at least one receiving device, communications addressed to a specified group of computing devices. The first computer networking device may further store first data indicating that the first computer networking device is responsible for forwarding the communications. However, in response to the first computer networking device determining that it is no longer receiving the communications, it may store second data indicating that the first computer networking device is no longer responsible for forwarding the communications and may send, to the second computer networking device, third data indicating that the first computer networking device is not receiving the communications.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2019Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Mankamana Prasad Mishra, Ali Sajassi, Krishnaswamy Muddenahally Ananthamurthy, Samir Thoria, Suma Kachinthaya, Swadesh Agrawal
