Abstract
Examples disclosed herein relate to a method comprising detecting, by a first network device, an interruption in a network stack of network devices connected to each other through a plurality of dedicated links. The method may also include identifying, by the first network device, a network device in the network stack with a highest split priority, determining, by the first network device, that the network device with the highest split priority belongs to a first fragment of the network stack and marking, by the first network device, the first fragment as an active fragment of the network stack.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- detecting, by a network device, an interruption in a network stack of network devices coupled to each other through a plurality of links, wherein a split priority value is allocated to a respective network device of the network stack, and wherein the interruption splits the network stack into two or more fragments;
- in response to detecting the interruption, identifying, by the network device, a first network device with a highest split priority value in the network stack;
- determining, by the network device, that the first network device with the highest split priority belongs to a first fragment of the network stack;
- and
- in response to the network device belonging to the first fragment, marking, by the network device, the first fragment as an active fragment of the network stack.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions, the instructions executable by a processor of a system to cause the system to:
- detect, by a network device, an interruption in a network stack of network devices coupled to each other through a plurality of links, wherein a split priority value is allocated to a respective network device of the network stack, and wherein the interruption splits the network stack into two or more fragments;
- in response to detecting the interruption, identify, by the network device, a first network device with a highest split priority value in the network stack;
- determine, by the network device, that the first network device with the highest split priority belongs to a first fragment of the network stack;
- and
- in response to the network device belonging to the first fragment, mark, by the network device, the first fragment as an active fragment of the network stack.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that when executed by the processor cause the system to:
- detect, by a network device, an interruption in a network stack of network devices coupled to each other through a plurality of links, wherein a split priority value is allocated to a respective network device of the network stack, and wherein the interruption splits the network stack into two or more fragments;
- in response to detecting the interruption, identify, by the network device, a first network device with a highest split priority value in the network stack;
- determine, by the network device, that the first network device with the highest split priority belongs to a first fragment of the network stack;
- and
- in response to the network device belonging to the first fragment, mark, by the network device, the first fragment as an active fragment of the network stack.
