  • Distributed, packet-mediated, packet routing
    Patent number: 11075835
    Abstract: A network switch holds a routing table and a network topology table so that when a link failure is detected at the network switch, the network switch may independently reroute a packet intended for that failed link using the network topology table. This processing can be performed in the data plane at a speed that can eliminate dropped packets. Intercommunication with a central controller is not required and intercommunication with other network switches may be accomplished through data plane communication by embedding the link failure information in the affected packet.
    Type: Grant
