  • Platform agnostic abstraction for forwarding equivalence classes with hierarchy
    Patent number: 11811901
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable mediums for managing forwarding equivalence class (FEC) hierarchies, including obtaining a forwarding equivalence class (FEC) hierarchy; making a first determination that a first hardware component supports a maximum levels of indirection (MLI) quantity; making a second determination that the FEC hierarchy has a hierarchy height; based on the first determination and the second determination, performing a comparison between the MLI quantity and the hierarchy height to obtain a comparison result; and based on the comparison result, performing a FEC hierarchy action set.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: November 7, 2023
    Assignee: Arista Networks, Inc.
    Inventors: Trevor A. W. Siemens, Mayukh Saubhasik
