  • Router table scaling in modular platforms
    Patent number: 9992111
    Abstract: In one embodiment an approach is provided to efficiently program routes on line cards and fabric modules in a modular router to avoid hot spots and thus avoid undesirable packet loss. Each fabric module includes two separate processors or application specific integrated circuits (ASICs). In another embodiment, each fabric module processor is replaced by a pair of fabric module processors arranged in series with each other, and each processor is responsible for routing only, e.g., IPv4 or IPv6 traffic. The pair of fabric module processors communicates with one another via a trunk line and any packet received at either one of the pair is passed to the other of the pair before being passed back to a line card.
