    Abstract: The present technology is directed to a scalable solution for end-to-end performance delay measurement for Segment Routing Policies on both SR-MPLS and SRv6 data planes. The scalability of the solution stems from the use of distributed PM sessions along SR Policy ECMP paths. This is achieved by dividing the SR policy into smaller sections comprised of SPT trees or sub-paths, each of which is associated with a Root-Node. Downstream SID List TLVs may be used in Probe query messages for signaling SPT information to the Root-Nodes Alternatively, this SPT signaling may be accomplished by using a centralized controller. Root-Nodes are responsible for dynamically creating PM sessions and measuring delay metrics for their associated SPT tree section. The root-nodes then send the delay metrics for their local section to an ingress PE node or to a centralized controller using delay metric TLV field of the response message.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a node in a communication network receives a label switched path (LSP) request and in response, the node determines at least two equal cost paths, each path having one or more path-nodes. The node may then further determine a total bandwidth-based transition value for each path of the at least two equal cost paths and selects the path having a lower total transition value. Once selected, the node may establish the requested LSP over the selected path.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device in a network determines that traffic sent via a first label switched path should be sent via a new label switched path. The device sends the traffic along the new label switched path using a label stack that indicates one or more adjacency segments or interface binding labels. A particular node along the new label switched path is configured to forward the traffic via a particular interface of the node based on a corresponding interface binding label or adjacency segment indicated by the traffic. The device completes a switchover from the first path to the new path.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, network devices are configured to route traffic and signaling onto co-routed bypass tunnels. Co-routed bypass tunnels protect against node or link failures in a label switched paths. The co-routed bypass tunnels provide bidirectional protection. In one example, a node acting as the point of local repair (PLR) receives a resource reservation state message at a first node and extracts a tunnel sender address from the reservation state message. The PLR is configured to identify a bypass tunnel to a second node in the reverse direction of the label switched path and signal resource reservation messages over the bypass tunnel in the reverse direction. In another example, a PLR receives a resource reservation message with bypass tunnel identification and the PLR is configured to identify a bypass tunnel to a second node in the reverse direction.

    Abstract: In an embodiment, a method is disclosed for minimizing soft preemptions of LSPs. Upon receiving a reservation message for an LSP whose requested bandwidth that exceeds the available bandwidth of downstream links, a network node may select a set of LSPs for soft preemption and share the selection with other nodes along their paths, both upstream and downstream. By coordinating the selection of LSPs to soft-preempt among nodes on the path, fewer LSPs may require soft preemption, which may result in minimizing excessive network disruptions, and thus, allowing the network to function more efficiently.

    Abstract translation: 在一个实施例中,公开了一种用于最小化LSP的软抢占的方法。 一旦接收到请求的带宽超过下游链路的可用带宽的LSP的预留消息,网络节点可以选择一组用于软抢占的LSP,并与上游和下游沿着其路径的其他节点共享选择。 通过将LSP的选择协调为在路径上的节点之间进行软抢占,较少的LSP可能需要软抢占,这可能导致最小化过度的网络中断,从而允许网络更有效地运行。
