Abstract
An Egress Tunnel Router (ETR) may establish a neighbor connection with a Map Server (MS). After the ETR establishes the neighbor connection with the MS, or after the ETR detects a status update of the MS from inaccessible to accessible, the ETR may register all Endpoint Identifiers EIDs configured on the ETR with the MS. After the ETR receives a register acknowledgement message with regard to a registered EID from the MS, the ETR may stop registering the registered EID with the MS.
Claims15
An Endpoint Identifier (EID) registration method, comprising:
- after an Egress Tunnel Router (ETR) establishes a neighbor connection with a Map Server (MS) or detects a status update of the MS from inaccessible to accessible, registering, by the ETR, all EIDs configured on the ETR with the MS;
- and
- after the ETR receives a register acknowledgement message with regard to a registered EID from the MS, stopping, by the ETR, registering the registered EID with the MS.
An Endpoint Identifier (EID) registration method, comprising:
- establishing, by a Map Server (MS), a neighbor connection with an Egress Tunnel Router (ETR) or receiving an accessible detection message from the ETR;
- receiving, by the MS, EIDs from the ETR;
- registering, by the MS, the EIDs in a database on the MS after the neighbor connection is established between the MS and the ETR or the MS is changed from inaccessible to accessible;
- sending, by the MS, a register acknowledgement message with regard to registered EIDs to the ETR, so that the ETR stops registering the registered EIDs with the MS.
An Egress Tunnel Router (ETR), comprising:
- a non-transitory storage and a processor, wherein the processor executes machine readable instructions on the non-transitory storage, to
- establish a neighbor connection with a Map Server (MS);
- send an accessible detection message to the MS;
- after the ETR establishes the neighbor connection with the MS or detects a status update of the MS from inaccessible to accessible, register all End Point Identifiers (EIDs) configured on the ETR with the MS;
- and
- after the ETR receives a register acknowledgement message with regard to a registered EID from the MS, stop registering the registered EID with the MS.
