IEEE 802.1aq

IEEE 802.1aq is an amendment to the IEEE 802.1Q networking standard which adds support for Shortest Path Bridging (SPB). This technology is intended to simplify the creation and configuration of Ethernet networks while enabling multipath routing. SPB is designed to replace the older spanning tree protocols: IEEE 802.1D STP, IEEE 802.1w RSTP, and IEEE 802.1s MSTP. These block any redundant paths that can result in a switching loop, whereas SPB allows all paths to be active with multiple equal-cost paths, provides much larger layer-2 topologies, supports faster convergence times, and improves the efficiency by allowing traffic to load share across all paths of a mesh network. It is designed to preserve the plug-and-play nature that established Ethernet as the de facto protocol at layer 2. The technology provides VLANs on native Ethernet infrastructures using a link-state protocol to advertise both topology and VLAN membership. Packets are encapsulated at the edge either in MAC-in-MAC per IEEE 802.1ah or tagged per IEEE 802.1Q or IEEE 802.1ad and transported only to other members of VLAN. Unicast, multicast, and broadcast are supported and all routing is on symmetric shortest paths. The control plane is based on the Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) routing protocol, leveraging a small number of extensions defined in . On 4 March 2006 the working group posted 802.1aq draft 0.1. In March 2012 the IEEE approved the 802.1aq standard. In May 2013, the first public multi-vendor interoperability was demonstrated as SPB served as the backbone for Interop 2013 in Las Vegas. In 2013 and 2014 SPB was used to build the InteropNet backbone with only one-tenth the resources of prior years. During Interop 2014 SPB was used as the backbone protocol which can enable software-defined networking (SDN) functionalities. The 2014 Winter Olympics were the first "fabric-enabled" Games using SPB "IEEE 802.1aq" technology. During the games this fabric network could handle up to 54 Tbit/s of traffic. IEEE 802.

MATH-502: Distribution and interpolation spaces

The aim of this course is to provide a solid foundation of theory of distributions, Sobolev spaces and an introduction to the more general theory of interpolation spaces.

Link-state routing protocol

Link-state routing protocols are one of the two main classes of routing protocols used in packet switching networks for computer communications, the others being distance-vector routing protocols. Examples of link-state routing protocols include Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) and Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS). The link-state protocol is performed by every switching node in the network (i.e., nodes that are prepared to forward packets; in the Internet, these are called routers).

IEEE 802.1aq

Shortest Path Bridging (SPB), spécifié par la norme IEEE 802.1aq, est une technologie de réseau informatique destinée à simplifier la création et la configuration des réseaux, tout en permettant un routage à trajets multiples. Shortest Path Bridging est le remplacement des anciens protocoles Spanning Tree ( STP, RSTP, MSTP) ne permettant qu'un seul chemin vers le commutateur racine tout en bloquant les chemins redondants qui pourraient introduire une boucle de niveau 2.

Switching loop

A switching loop or bridge loop occurs in computer networks when there is more than one layer 2 path between two endpoints (e.g. multiple connections between two network switches or two ports on the same switch connected to each other). The loop creates broadcast storms as broadcasts and multicasts are forwarded by switches out every port, the switch or switches will repeatedly rebroadcast the broadcast messages flooding the network. Since the layer-2 header does not include a time to live (TTL) field, if a frame is sent into a looped topology, it can loop forever.
