Route Transmission Method and Apparatus - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18338820 Titled 'Route Transmission Method and Apparatus'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a process in which a network device can obtain a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) route and send it to another network device. There are two possible scenarios:
1. In the first scenario, the first network device directly sends the BGP route to the second network device without further processing or analysis.
2. In the second scenario, the first network device analyzes the BGP route and performs a recursive process to gather additional information. However, even if the recursion fails or is not performed, the first network device still forwards the received BGP route to the second network device.
In summary, the abstract explains how a network device can handle BGP routes and ensure their transmission to another device, regardless of whether additional analysis is performed or not.
Original Abstract Submitted
When obtaining a first Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) route, a first network device may directly send the first BGP route to a second network device without recursing the first BGP route. Alternatively, the first network device recurses the first BGP route. The first network device still sends the first BGP route to the second network device when the first BGP route fails to be recursed. That is, regardless of whether the first network device performs recursion or if the recursion fails, the first network device can forward the received first BGP route to the second network device.
