Technology Introduction

Reference

FRR

Fast Reroute (FRR) provides a quick per-link or per-node protection
on an LSP. In this approach, once a link or node fails on a path, FRR
comes up to reroute the path to a new link or node to bypass the

failed link or node. This can happen as fast as 50 milliseconds

minimizing data loss. Protocols such as RIP, OSPF, IS-IS, static

routing, and RSVP-TE support this technology.

GR

Graceful Restart (GR) ensures the continuity of packet forwarding
when a protocol, such as BGP, IS-IS, OSPF, IPv6 BGP, IPv6 IS-IS,

OSPFv3, LDP, or RSVP-TE, restarts or during an active/standby
switchover process. It needs other devices to implement routing

information backup and recovery.

NSR

Non-stop Routing (NSR) is a new feature used to ensure non-stop
data transmission during an active/standby switchover. It backs up

IP forwarding information from the active MPU to the standby MPU.
Upon an active/standby switchover, NSR can complete link state

recovery and route re-generation without requiring the cooperation

of other devices. OSPF supports this feature.

VRRP

Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is an error-tolerant
protocol that provides highly reliable default links on multicast and

broadcast LANs such as Ethernet, avoiding network interruption

due to failure of a single link.

the High Availability

Configuration Guide

A single availability technology cannot solve all problems. Therefore, a combination of availability

technologies, chosen on the basis of detailed analysis of network environments and user requirements,

should be used to enhance network availability. For example, access-layer devices should be connected

to distribution-layer devices over redundant links, and core-layer devices should be fully meshed. Also,
network availability should be considered during planning prior to building a network.
