Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In one embodiment, a method comprises creating, in a computing network, a loop-free routing topology for reaching a destination device, the loop-free routing topology comprising distinct paths for reaching the destination device; generating a set of serialized representations describing the loop-free routing topology, each serialized representation describing a corresponding one of the paths; and propagating the set of serialized representations from the destination device to network nodes in the computing network, enabling the network nodes to establish loop-free label switched paths for reaching the destination device via the loop-free routing topology.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: creating, in a computing network, a loop-free routing topology for reaching a destination device, the loop-free routing topology comprising a set of distinct paths for reaching the destination device, wherein the loop-free routing topology provides, to each network node having at least two data links in the network topology, at least two respective non-congruent paths that do not share any common data link for reaching the destination…
