PACKET FORWARDING METHOD AND DEVICE, AND SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18366920 titled 'PACKET FORWARDING METHOD AND DEVICE, AND SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method and device for packet forwarding in communication networks.

  • The method involves receiving a route to a destination node from a second node, which includes an identifier and multiple tunnel attributes.
  • Multiple tunnels are established between the first and second nodes, each corresponding to a specific tunnel attribute.
  • The first node forwards packets with different attributes to the same destination node through different tunnels.
  • This allows for traffic steering at the routing layer, improving the flexibility of packet forwarding.
  • The innovation enables efficient and optimized routing of packets based on their attributes.


Original Abstract Submitted

A packet forwarding method and device, and a system are provided, and belong to the field of communication technologies. The method includes: A first node first receives a route to a destination node sent by a second node, where the route carries an identifier of the second node and a plurality of tunnel attributes. A plurality of tunnels from the first node to the second are in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of tunnel attributes. The first node forwards packets with different packet attributes destined for same destination node through different tunnels. In this application, packets having different packet attributes can be forwarded over different tunnels, so that traffic steering is implemented at a routing layer, and flexibility of packet forwarding is improved.
