System and method for next hop BGP routing in a network

Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems for providing multiple egress routes from a telecommunications network for a client of the network. In general, the system provides for a client of the network to receive intended packets of information through multiple connections to the network such that load balancing and failover services for traffic to the customer are provided. The process and system allow for telecommunications network to utilize a common next-hop value of announced border gateway protocol (BGP) routes to advertise multiple routes to reach a destination customer network or address. By utilizing a common next-hop value in the announced BGP information, the devices of the network may load balance communication packets to the destination customer or address among the multiple egress locations from the network, as well as providing fast failover to alternate routes when a failure at the network or customer occurs.

Path computation for unordered inclusion and regional revisit constraints

Systems and methods include receiving a request for a path from a source node to a destination node in a network with the request including N unordered inclusion nodes, N≥1; adding a virtual vertex in a graph with edges connected to each of the N inclusion nodes, wherein the graph includes the virtual vertex, vertices representing nodes in the network, and edges representing links; determining a shortest path from the source node to the virtual vertex and removing an edge from a first inclusion node, that is on the shortest path, from the virtual vertex; if N>1, determining a shortest path N times to find path segments between the N inclusion nodes, removing an edge from each of the N inclusion nodes from the virtual vertex when on a corresponding shortest path; and determining a shortest path from a last inclusion node to the destination node.

A system and method for FIB aggregation. FIB Aggregation with Quick Selections (FAQS) is a FIB aggregation algorithm that leverages compact data structures and three unique optimization techniques to quickly and incrementally select next hops when handling route updates. As a result, FAQS can run up to 2.53 and 1.75 times faster for IPv4 and IPv6, respectively, than the optimal FIB aggregation algorithm while achieving a near-optimal aggregation ratio. Meanwhile, it consumes much less memory and generates much smaller number of FIB changes when carrying out frequent updates. The performance enhancement of the new algorithm addresses many concerns from ISPs regarding performance issues, and enhances the probability to push FIB aggregation techniques further to the level of production adoption by the industry.

DISTRIBUTED DATA GRID ROUTING FOR CLUSTERS MANAGED USING CONTAINER ORCHESTRATION SERVICES
20230074530 · 2023-03-09 ·

A cloud-native architecture for containerized systems using consistent hashing routing is described. A reverse proxy server executing on a container-based cluster of compute nodes managed using a container orchestration service may determine a current data grid topology. The reverse proxy server may receive a first request from a first client device to retrieve first data from the container-based cluster of compute nodes. The request may be parsed to determine a key of a key-value pair and a hash value may be computed using the key. A consistent hashing algorithm may be executed to determine a node associated with the hash value. The first data may be retrieved from the node using the hash value. The first data may be sent to the first client device.
