  • System and method for providing improved failover performance for pseudowires
    Patent number: 9025437
    Abstract: Grouping pseudowires based on hardware interfaces and configured control paths enables improved pseudowire failover performance. Signaling status changes (e.g., from standby to active status) is facilitated by using group IDs for the pseudowire groups, thereby enabling improved failover performance when there is disruption in the network.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 2, 2013
    Date of Patent: May 5, 2015
    Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.
    Inventors: Adam Laurence Taylor, Muhammad Yousuf, James Ronald Holland, Jr., Neil McGill, Sudhir Kumar Rustogi

  • TRANSFER OF NETWORK TRAFFIC FOR MULTI-HOMED DEVICES
    Publication number: 20100246404
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a method is provided for transferring network traffic for multi-homed devices. In this method, capacity information is received from a network device. This capacity information identifies a network capacity of the network device. Upon detection of network traffic to exceed a threshold, an excess capacity of the network device is identified based on the capacity information. A portion of the network traffic is then transferred to the network device by way of a link aggregation protocol, and the portion of network traffic is transferred based on the identified excess capacity of the network device.
