Patent number: 11411859Abstract: A network device (PE), a network control method and program which can reduce a BUM traffic packet loss even when a time is taken for route recalculation according to a routing protocol due to a malfunction in a network infrastructure are provided. A network device according to the present invention requests each PE connected to the same ES as that of the network device to perform DF reelection on the basis of a redundant PE list from which the network device has been deleted when cease of a BGP session is detected. In addition, the PE requested to perform the DF reelection executes the DF reelection based on the redundant PE list from which the aforementioned PE has been deleted. In the present invention, BUM traffic can be immediately forwarded from a PE that has become a new DF even when a time is taken for route recalculation according to the routing protocol because another PE connected to the same ES is caused to serve as a DF when the BGP session is ceased.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2019Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE CORPORATIONInventors: Erina Takeshita, Akihiro Morita, Hideaki Kimura, Gou Yazawa
