Abstract

Included are embodiments for advanced routing. At least one embodiment of a method includes receiving a message from a first device at a first backbone controller. The message may be configured to indicate a second device as a desired recipient and sending the message to a network controller. The message includes a request to a second backbone controller for a route to the second device, the second backbone controller related to the second device. Some embodiments include receiving the route from the network controller.

Claims

1. A method for advanced routing, comprising:

receiving a message from a first device at a first backbone controller, the message indicating a second device as a desired recipient;

sending the message to a network controller, the message including a request to a second backbone controller for a route to the second device, the second backbone controller related to the second device; and

receiving the route from the network controller.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising storing the received route.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising sending the received route to the second backbone controller.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the second device is configured to receive the message.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the second device is further configured to calculate a reverse route from the second device to the first device.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the second device is further configured to send an acknowledgement to the first device via the calculated reverse route.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the first device is located on a different network plane than the second device.

8. A system for advanced routing, comprising:

a first receiving component configured to receive a message from a first device at a first backbone controller, the message indicating a second device as a desired recipient;

a sending component configured to send the message to a network controller, the message including a request to a second backbone controller for a route to the second device, the second backbone controller related to the second device; and

a second receiving component configured to receive the route from the network controller.

9. The system of claim 8, further comprising a storing component configured to store the received route.

10. The system of claim 8, further comprising a sending component configured to send the received route to the second backbone controller.

11. The system of claim 8, wherein the second device is configured to receive the message.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the second device is further configured to calculate a reverse route from the second device to the first device.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the second device is further configured to send an acknowledgement to the first device via the calculated reverse route.

14. The system of claim 8, wherein the first device is located on a different network plane than the second device.

15. A computer readable storage medium for advanced routing, comprising:

first receiving logic configured to receive a message from a first device at a first backbone controller, the message indicating a second device as a desired recipient;

sending logic configured to send the message to a network controller, the message including a request to a second backbone controller for a route to the second device, the second backbone controller related to the second device; and

second receiving logic configured to receive the route from the network controller.

16. The computer readable storage medium of claim 15, further comprising storing logic configured to store the received route.

17. The computer readable storage medium of claim 15, further comprising sending logic configured to send the received route to the second backbone controller.

18. The computer readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the second device is configured to receive the message.

19. The computer readable storage medium of claim 18, wherein the second device is further configured to calculate a reverse route from the second device to the first device.

20. The computer readable storage medium of claim 19, wherein the second device is further configured to send an acknowledgement to the first device via the calculated reverse route.
