A traffic forwarding method includes determining, by a first network device, a first address resolution protocol (ARP) entry of the access device, where the first ARP entry is used to indicate a mapping relationship among a media access control (MAC) address, an Internet Protocol (IP) address, and an egress port, the egress port includes a standby egress port, and the first network device is connected to the protection link through the standby egress port, receiving traffic sent by a network side, determining whether a fault exists in the first multi-chassis link aggregation group (MC-LAG) link, and when the first network device determines that a fault exists in the first MC-LAG link, sending the traffic to the second network device through the protection link based on a standby egress port number in the first ARP entry, where the standby egress port number is used to indicate the standby egress port.

Rapid channel failure detection and recovery in wireless communication networks is needed in order to meet, among other things, carrier class Ethernet channel standards. Thus, resilient wireless packet communications is provided using a physical layer link aggregation protocol with a hardware-assisted rapid channel failure detection algorithm and load balancing, preferably in combination. This functionality may be implemented in a Gigabit Ethernet data access card with an engine configured accordingly. In networks with various topologies, these features may be provided in combination with their existing protocols.

A system and method to transmit frames from a first node to a second node over a plurality of radio links comprising a classifier to classify said frames according to one of a plurality of flow and a sequence number within said one of said plurality of flow and adding said flow and sequence number in a header of said classified frame a splitter receiving said classified frames from said classifier and distributing said classified frames on one of said plurality of radio links for transmission to said second node, a joiner receiving said classified frames and reordering them using an indexed sequence queue corresponding to each of said plurality of flows, a timer for waiting for frames missing in the sequence in one of said indexed sequence queue, wherein when said timer expires, if said frame has not arrived it is deemed lost and a forwarder to extract frames from said sequence queue to forward.

A system, method, and computer-readable medium for performing a traffic routing operation. The traffic routing operation includes: establishing a plurality of virtual private network (VPN) connections within an information handling system; obtaining a configuration policy for each of the plurality of VPN connections, the configuration policy for each of the plurality of VPN connections comprising an indication of at least one type of supported link of a plurality of links; configuring a plurality of queues for packets being communicated via the plurality of virtual private network connections, the plurality of queues being greater than the plurality of VPN connections; creating a tunnel indication for each of the plurality of VPN connections; mapping the tunnel indication for each of the plurality of VP connections to a respective queue of the plurality of queues; and, mapping each queue of the plurality of queues to a link of a particular VPN connection.

A system and method for distributing packets in a network arc disclosed. The method comprises a step of receiving at least one data packet at a first node front a second node. The method also comprises a step of determining a current set of weights which are applied by the second node to distribute data packets across the first plurality of links. The received data packets are analysed to determine if the current set of weights are to be adjusted (step S102). When it is determined that the current set of weights is to be adjusted, an adjusted set of weights is generated by determining an adjustment factor (step S104). The adjustment factor is applied to the current weight for the selected link and at least one other current w eight in the current set of w eights.

An apparatus includes a low noise amplifier (LNA) multiplexer configured to receive a plurality of radio frequency (RF) signals at a plurality of input terminals and to combine the plurality of RF signals into a combined RF signal that is output at an output terminal. The LNA multiplexer includes a plurality of input signal paths, and each input signal path is coupleable to a respective input terminal of the plurality of input terminals and is configured to receive a respective RF signal of the plurality of RF signals. The apparatus further includes an LNA demultiplexer configured to receive the combined RF signal at an input port coupled to the output terminal and to distribute the combined RF signal to a plurality of output ports, each output port of the plurality of output ports configured to output the combined RF signal to a respective downconverter of a plurality of downconverters.

The routing of data received from a first network device into a second network device, each having a link aggregation engine, includes detecting whether or not the data has already undergone a link aggregation operation in the first device or upstream, based on markers present in the data, and then selecting an output link from all the output links of the second device participating in link aggregation if the data has not already undergone link aggregation, or selecting the output link from all the output links of the second device participating in link aggregation except for the output link towards the first device if the data has already undergone link aggregation, and transmitting the data on the output link selected.

A link group configuration method includes obtaining first status information of M links between a source end device and a receive end device, where the first status information indicates a status of a differential delay between any two of the M links, obtaining first capability information of the receive end device, where the first capability information indicates a first capability of performing differential delay compensation on the M links by the receive end device, grouping N of the M links into a first link group based on the first status information and the first capability information, and sending first configuration information to a second device, where the first configuration information includes information used to indicate the first link group.

A TSN-based distributed antenna system including a headend unit, one or more TSN switches, and one or more remote units and a fronthaul transport network constituted by the headend unit, the TSN switch, and the remote unit is provided. The packet-based fronthaul network constituted by the headend unit, the TSN switch, and the remote unit transmits traffic in a time-deterministic manner while minimizing packet loss through Ethernet to which TSN standards are applied.

An electronic device, a method for domain name query, and related products are provided, which are for an electronic device. The method includes the following. Whether the electronic device enables a link aggregation (SLA) is detected in response to detecting an Internet protocol (IP) address query request for a target domain name. Multiple communication links enabled by the SLA are determined in response to detecting that the SLA is enabled. An IP address corresponding to the target domain name is obtained by querying multiple domain name system (DNS) servers through at least one target communication link of the multiple communication links.
