  • Micro SID packet processing
    Patent number: 11991081
    Abstract: An example first network device includes a control unit configured to execute at least one application and a forwarding unit. The forwarding unit includes an interface configured to receive packets, at least one packet processor operably coupled to a memory, and a forwarding path, wherein at least a portion of the forwarding path is stored in the memory and is executable by the at least one packet processor. The forwarding unit is configured to receive an advertisement originated by a second network device in a network, wherein the advertisement specifies a second micro segment identifier (SID), and store, in a destination lookup table, a route entry comprising a first micro SID associated with the first network device and the second micro SID.
    Type: Grant

  • Cell sharing to improve throughput within a network device
    Patent number: 8509069
    Abstract: A method includes receiving packets from a network with a plurality of packet-forwarding engines (PFEs) of a router, wherein the plurality of PFEs are interconnected by a switch fabric, determining an egress one of the PFEs for each of the packets, and forming fixed-sized fabric cells that share data associated with the packets that are destined for the same egress PFE while preventing packets destined for different egress PFEs to share any of the fabric cells. The fabric cells are transmitted through the switch fabric to communicate the packets to the egress PFEs.
