Method for Generating Entry, Method for Sending Packet, and Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18148549 titled 'Method for Generating Entry, Method for Sending Packet, and Device
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for generating an entry in a network device based on a received advertisement packet. The entry includes information about the source device and the egress through which the packet was received.
- The method involves a network device receiving an advertisement packet.
- The advertisement packet contains a source autonomous system (AS) identifier.
- The source AS identifier corresponds to the source device of the packet.
- The network device generates a forwarding entry based on the source AS identifier.
- The forwarding entry includes the identifier of a specific egress.
- The network device receives the advertisement packet through the specified egress.
Potential Applications
- Network routing and forwarding systems
- Internet service providers (ISPs)
- Data centers
Problems Solved
- Efficient routing and forwarding of network traffic
- Identification and management of source devices in a network
Benefits
- Improved network performance and efficiency
- Enhanced control and management of network traffic
- Simplified routing and forwarding configurations
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for generating an entry includes a first network device that receives a first advertisement packet, where the first advertisement packet includes a source autonomous system (AS) identifier, and the source AS identifier corresponds to a source device of the first advertisement packet; and the first network device that generates a forwarding entry based on the source AS identifier, where the forwarding entry includes an identifier of a first egress, and the first network device receives the first advertisement packet through the first egress.
