Abstract
A system and a method for providing conversational learning is implemented in a network environment. An exemplary method includes receiving a subnet route advertisement that includes an attribute that triggers glean behavior for routing decisions; and installing a subnet entry in a Forwarding Information Base/Adjacency (FIB/ADJ) table. The subnet entry includes a subnet associated with the subnet route advertisement and a corresponding glean adjacency. The corresponding glean adjacency is configured to trigger installation of a host entry associated with a host in an active conversation in a network.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving a subnet route advertisement that includes an attribute that triggers glean behavior for routing decisions;
- and
- installing a subnet entry in a Forwarding Information Base/Adjacency (FIB/ADJ) table, wherein the subnet entry includes a subnet associated with the subnet route advertisement and a corresponding glean adjacency, wherein the corresponding glean adjacency is configured to trigger installation of a host entry associated with a host in an active conversation in a network.
Logic encoded in non-transitory media that includes instructions for execution and when executed by a processor, is operable to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a subnet route advertisement that includes an attribute that triggers glean behavior for routing decisions;
- and
- installing a subnet entry in a Forwarding Information Base/Adjacency (FIB/ADJ) table, wherein the subnet entry includes a subnet associated with the subnet route advertisement and a corresponding glean adjacency, wherein the corresponding glean adjacency is configured to trigger installation of a host entry associated with a host in an active conversation in a network.
An apparatus comprising:
- a memory element for storing data;
- and
- a processor operable to execute instructions associated with the date, wherein the processor and the memory element cooperate such that the apparatus is configured for:
- receiving a subnet route advertisement that includes an attribute that triggers glean behavior for routing decisions;
- and
- installing a subnet entry in a Forwarding Information Base/Adjacency (FIB/ADJ) table, wherein the subnet entry includes a subnet associated with the subnet route advertisement and a corresponding glean adjacency, wherein the corresponding glean adjacency is configured to trigger installation of a host entry associated with a host in an active conversation in a network.
