Network switching systems and methods

摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed for effectuating control-plane changes at increased speeds to protect a network in which switching operations performed. Operations effectuate the can be divided between software more- rapid, dedicated hardware within line card. Examples of reserved implementation include blocking unblocking ports, flushing learned entries from switch tables, coordination through generation messages sent nodes, also cards node. Determinations about need hardware-driven, may made based on events occurring accordance with any number different protection protocols. The protocol implemented state machine determine master/slave relationship.
