This feature provides a mechanism to mark specific routes as resilient ECMP (RECMP) eligible using BGP RCF policies. A policy based mechanism provides a lot of flexibility in choosing the RECMP eligible routes using criteria such as:

This feature allows failover to the backup path to occur in constant time per interface going down for features such as RSVP link protection, RSVP node protection, TI-LFA link protection, and BGP PIC. Without this feature enabled, it would take time proportional to the number of paths going over the interface experiencing the link down event to failover to the backup path. With this feature enabled, the failover time would be constant regardless of the number of paths.

Currently when programming ECMP routes only one path is programmed in the kernel. There exists an environment variable (KERNELFIB_PROGRAM_ALL_ECMP) that allows users to program all paths from an ECMP route in the kernel. However, setting the variable requires restarting the KernelFib agent. This restart then reprograms all the routes.

ECMP Hash visibility CLI determines the output interface for an ECMP set based on the flow parameters supplied by the user. Ingress interface, source IP address, destination IP address and IP protocol are the required parameters. L4 source and destination ports and VLAN identifier are optional, but should be specified if the packet has them.

This document describes the CLI introduced to reallocate ECMP FEC banks on different levels in a hierarchical FEC configuration. Users may run out of entries on a certain level with other levels having little to no usage, and this CLI reconfigures the ECMP FEC entries to meet the requirements of the user.

A forwarding equivalence class (FEC) entry is the data structure that holds all reachable vias where the packets should be sent to, for certain routes. Before this feature, a FEC could not contain both IPv4 next hop vias and IPv6 next hop vias. This feature starts supporting FECs that have both IPv4 next hop vias and IPv6 next hop vias. In an Equal Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) FEC, some of the vias may have IPv4 next hop and others may have IPv6 next hop.

Routes covered by a resilient equal-cost multi-path (RECMP) prefix are types of routes that make use of hardware tables dedicated for equal-cost multi-path (ECMP) routing. Resilient ECMP deduping is a new feature wherein the switch will reactively attempt to reduce the number of ECMP hardware table entries allocated by forcing routes that share the same set of next hops but point to different hardware table entries to point to the same hardware table entry when hardware resource utilization is high. Forcing RECMP routes to change the hardware table entry that they point to may potentially cause a traffic flow disruption for any existing flows going over that route. The deduping process will attempt to minimize the amount of potential traffic loss caused.

RSVP-TE, the Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) for Traffic Engineering (TE), is used to distribute MPLS labels for steering traffic and reserving bandwidth. The Label Edge Router (LER) feature implements the headend functionality, i.e., RSVP-TE tunnels can originate at an LER which can steer traffic into the tunnel.
