Abstract: An enhanced, flooding-based link state routing protocol is described that provides pruning of link state data and, when needed, rate-controlled refresh of the pruned link state data from other routers of the flooding domain. A routing device comprises a network interface to send and receive packets over a layer-two (L2) communication medium. The routing device includes a control unit coupled to the network interface, and a flooding-based link state routing protocol executing on a processor of the control unit. The link-state routing protocol establishes an adjacency with a peer router. A database of the routing device includes entries that store a plurality of link state messages for a flooding domain of the link state routing protocol, wherein at least one of the entries in the database stores a partial link state message having a header portion and a payload having pruned link state data.

Abstract: A mechanism for locating information about a target entity in disparate multilevel hierarchical knowledge repositories. Upon occurrence of an event associated with a target entity comprising an information technology solution, disparate multilevel hierarchical knowledge repositories are searched for metadata about the target entity. A determination is made from the metadata about the target entity whether the repositories comprise entities related to the target entity. If so, links in the metadata are used to search the repositories to locate the related entities. Upon locating a resolution to the event in the repositories, a link to the resolution is stored in the metadata. The repositories are also searched to determine owners of the target entity and related entities, and these owners are then notified of the event and the resolution to the event.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises logic for optimizing network resources usage. The logic is operable to store IGP information, where the IGP information includes a set of attribute values associated with each of a set of content servers. When the logic receives a request for content from a remote peer, the logic determines one or more content servers that can provide the requested content. The logic then retrieves, from the IGP information, a plurality of attribute values associated with a non-looping path from each of the one or more content servers. For each of the one or more content servers, the retrieved attribute values include: one or more capacity values indicating capacities of one or more communication links on the non-looping path from that content server; and one or more utilization values indicating utilizations of the one or more communication links on the non-looping path from that content server. The logic then selects a content server based on the retrieved attribute values, and causes the request for the content to be sent to the selected content server.

Abstract: A system for resolving address conflicts in a network. In an illustrative embodiment, the system includes an address-configuration module that is adapted to assign addresses to one or more devices. The one or more devices are connected to the network via device interfaces. An interface-monitoring module communicates with the address-configuration module. The interface-monitoring module is adapted to determine when an address conflict involving plural addresses occurs and to provide a signal in response thereto. A conflict-resolution module is adapted to selectively terminate one or more device interfaces associated with the plural addresses in response to the signal and based on the addresses and one or more predetermined precedence rules. In a more specific embodiment, the system further employs a user interface for facilitating selectively adjusting the precedence rules. The conflict-resolution module runs one or more routines adapted to implement a static conflict-resolution policy, a longest-prefix policy, a highest-address policy, and/or an interface-identifier policy for Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.
