    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for configuring data plane behavior on network forwarding elements. SOLUTION: The method includes receiving, within a network element control plane, protocol configuration information extracted from a protocol application utilizing a network protocol application programming interface. The received information is processed using a control interface corresponding to the network protocol. Once the protocol configuration information is processed, the control interface programs one or more data plane forwarding elements of the network element according to protocol configuration information. Accordingly, by providing similar control interfaces for several network protocols, inter-operability between components from several vendors is enabled. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

    Abstract: Es werden ein Verfahren und eine Einrichtung zum Konfigurieren des Datenebenenverhaltens auf Netzwerkweiterleitungselementen beschrieben. In einer Ausführungsform beinhaltet das Verfahren den Empfang von einer Protokollanwendung entnommenen Protokollkonfigurationsinformation innerhalb einer Netzwerkelement-Steuerebene, wobei eine Programmierschnittstelle (API) der Netzwerkprotokoll-anwendung zum Einsatz kommt. Nach Empfang der Protokoll-konfigurationsinformation wird diese unter Einsatz einer Steuerschnittstelle verarbeitet, wobei eine Steuerschnittstelle verwendet wird, die dem von der Protokollanwendung implementierten Netzwerkprotokoll entspricht. Nach Verarbeitung der Protokoll-konfigurationsinformation programmiert die Steuerschnittstelle eine oder mehrere Datenebenen-Weiterleitungselemente des Netzwerkelements gemäß der Protokollkonfigurationsinformation. Durch diese Vorgehensweisetellen für verschiedene Netzwerkprotokolle die Zusammenarbeit von Bauteilen verschiedener Lieferanten ermöglicht.
