Abstract: A method enabling symmetric routing between a first host within a first AS and a second host within a second AS is disclosed. The method includes detecting that a first routing message was received at an edge router of the first AS from an edge router of the second AS. The first message identifies the second host as a source and the first host as a destination of a forward route. The method further includes determining that the first message further comprises an indication to implement symmetric routing between the first and second hosts and generating a second routing message for propagating to router(s) within the first AS. The second message identifies the first host as a source and the second host as a destination of a return route, and indicates that data is to be sent via the edge router of the first AS that received the first message.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a passive type low-temperature heat sources organic working fluid power generation method. The organic working fluid absorbs heat and evaporates in the first evaporator and the second in turn evaporator. When the pressure of organic working fluid reaches the set pressure, the self-operated pressure regulator valve at the outlet of the evaporator opens triggered by operating pressure. The organic working fluid vapor flows into the turbine and pushes the turbine to rotate with a high speed, driving the generator to provide output power. The low-temperature low-pressure exhaust gas flows into the condenser and condenses into liquid working fluid. Through the first and second evaporator in turn providing working steam, the turbine can maintain continuous work and provide output power. Compared with the prior technology, the present invention has reliable performance, relying on the evaporation of the working fluid in a closed space to achieve increased pressure.
