DISJOINT MULTI-PATHING FOR A DATA CENTER NETWORK
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for determining disjoint multi-paths in a data center fabric network system, the method comprising:
- creating a topology of a data center fabric network system, wherein the system comprises a plurality of switches;
determining paths between the plurality of switches;
calculating one or more disjoint multi-paths from a source device to a destination device in the system; and
writing the one or more disjoint multi-paths into a forwarding table of at least one of the source device and a nearest shared switch to the source device.

Abstract
A method for determining disjoint multi-paths in a data center fabric network system, according to one embodiment, includes creating a topology of a data center fabric network system, wherein the system comprises a plurality of switches; determining paths between the plurality of switches; calculating one or more disjoint multi-paths from a source device to a destination device in the system; and writing the one or more disjoint multi-paths into a forwarding table of at least one of the source device and a nearest shared switch to the source device.
