  • Low latency protection switching
    Patent number: 11979272
    Abstract: Various embodiments described herein support or provide for low latency protection switching, such as detecting a failure in a network associated with a network topology; determining a node that is affected by the failure; identifying a recovery scenario that is preconfigured for the node in an event of the detected failure; setting a value for a protection mode identifier associated with the node; and determining an alternate data transmission path for each node in the group of nodes based on the protection mode identifier.

  • Protocol independent data unit forwarding
    Patent number: 11818236
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for protocol independent data unit forwarding. A packet forwarding system receives a data unit comprising a header byte string via an input port. The packet forwarding system parses the data unit based on a header type determined based on the input port, yielding a parsing output describing the header byte string of the data unit. The packet forwarding system updates a metadata item associated with the data unit based on the parsing output and determines a packet forwarding instruction for forwarding the data unit to a destination based on the metadata item associated with the data unit. The packet forwarding system forwards the data unit to the destination based on the packet forwarding instruction and the metadata item associated with the data unit.
