  • Publication number: 20230054738
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media for secure network routing. A method includes: receiving, at a network node, an advertisement message for a network route including an IP address prefix; receiving, at the network node, a route origin authorization associated with the IP address prefix, the route origin authorization including a digital signature and a security requirement of a route to a destination that corresponds to the IP address prefix; determining, by the network node, one or more network nodes satisfies the security requirement to yield a determination; and determining, by the network node, to route network traffic to the IP address prefix based on the determination. In one example, the method can include, when the one or more network nodes satisfies the security requirement, advertising the route to the one or more network nodes that satisfies the security requirement.

  • Publication number: 20220360470
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10951463
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides Border Gateway Protocol route aggregation in a Clos fabric when one or more communication failures are detected. A method includes receiving a prefix component of a first aggregate route from a first next hop node, the prefix component being associated with a failed network element; announcing, to one or more neighboring nodes, the first aggregate route along with the prefix component and the first next hop node associated with the failed network element; identifying, by the one or more neighboring nodes, a second aggregate route, the second aggregate route being a shortest aggregate route that contains the first aggregate route; and generating, from the second aggregate route, one or more Chad routes to the prefix component of the first aggregate route, wherein the one or more Chad routes are associated with one or more next hop nodes that are different from the first next hop node.
