Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for service-based tunnel selection for forwarding network traffic. In one example, a network device obtains, based on service parameters associated with a network service, a service-specific tunnel selection scheme. The tunnel selection scheme identifies a primary mapping mode for mapping the network service to a primary transport tunnel and fallback mapping modes for mapping the network service to fallback transport tunnels. The primary mapping mode is categorized according to a first type comprising tunnel colorization, while the fallback mapping modes are categorized according to types other than tunnel colorization. In response to determining that the network service cannot be mapped to the primary transport tunnel according to the primary mapping mode, the network device, maps, based on the fallback mapping modes, the network service to the fallback transport tunnels.

Abstract: A method for setting a system interface of a mobile terminal includes: determining a pressure value; dividing sub-regions; determining a reduced or enlarged ratio of an icon; determining a layout of the icon; and determining a value of an operating parameter. Thus, the sub-regions may be divided targetedly according to characteristics of the sliding operation of each user, so that an icon position laid out for each system interface, according to the divided sub-regions, may be more adaptive to operation requirements of the user and may targetedly reduce operation difficulty of the user.

Abstract: This disclosure is related to devices, systems, and techniques for controlling a flow of network traffic between two or more devices. For example, a network device includes a control unit, a forwarding unit including a forwarding manager including a server configured to store a tunnel hierarchy structure, and a packet processor. The packet processor is configured to receive, via an interface card of a set of interface cards, a packet including a packet header. The forwarding manager is configured to parse the packet header in order to identify a service corresponding to the packet, wherein the service is associated with a service color, identify, based on the tunnel hierarchy structure, a set of tunnels, wherein each tunnel of the set of tunnels is associated with a tunnel color, and determine whether at least one tunnel of a set of tunnels associated with the tunnel color is in an online state.

Abstract: In general, techniques are described for flooding VPLS traffic with a network device according to flood groups. The network device resides within a layer 3 (L3) network and includes a control unit that executes a virtual private LAN service (VPLS) protocol that enables a VPLS domain to operate over the L3 network. The network device further includes a plurality of packet forwarding engines, each of which include a plurality of interface cards that receive a layer 2 (L2) message originating from the L2 network. The packet forwarding engines associate the L2 packet with a configurable flood group, wherein the flood group defines criteria to determine which messages to associate to the flood group and indicates a set of the interface cards for forwarding the associated messages. The packet forwarding engines further flood the L2 packet via each interface card indicated by the associated flood group.

Abstract: A forwarding component of a routing node floods copies of a packet to a plurality of next hops associated with the same layer two (L2) network as an interface on which the packet was received. The plurality of next hops excludes a next hop that corresponds to the interface that received the packet. The forwarding component requires that forwarding information installed by a control unit specify the plurality of next hops to which to flood the copies of the packet, and the forwarding component is not capable of deriving the plurality of next hops to which to flood the copies of the packet from a single flooding next hop identifier after the packet is received. Prior to receiving the packet, a flooding next hop control module derives the plurality of next hops based on the flooding next hop and installs the derived next hops into the forwarding information.
