Application: Avoiding loops by preventing further fast reroute (FRR) after an earlier frr (Patent ID: US20240080268A1)
The patent filed by Juniper Networks Inc. describes a mechanism to prevent further Fast Reroute (FRR) in cases where it may be harmful or detrimental after an initial FRR has already taken place, such as for MPLS protection. The system involves a data forwarding device that receives data packets to be forwarded over a label-switched path (LSP), determines the next hop, checks if it is reachable, and if not, identifies a backup next hop and forwarding label to avoid loops in the network. This mechanism helps in avoiding unnecessary FRR and ensures efficient data packet forwarding.
Additionally, the patent includes claims related to the system being used in a provider edge device of a transport network where a customer edge device is multihomed, setting up backups between provider edge devices, using loop prevention labels to prevent data packet loops, and implementing the mechanism on protection rings. The system also involves the use of special purpose labels, extended special purpose labels, or allocated labels as loop prevention measures. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive method for avoiding loops in a communications network, particularly in scenarios where multiple FRR instances could be detrimental, ensuring smooth and efficient data packet forwarding.
