The apparatus for implementation of ECMP in Network Processor

摘要

The present invention relates to a device for implementing an EMP (Equal Cost Multipath Protocol) of an Internet Protocol (IP) packet in a network processor. In particular, the present invention prevents data loss due to a failure of an output port when transmitting data from a router. The present invention relates to an Equal Cost Multipath Protocol (ECMP) implementation apparatus. The present invention allows each data received from a plurality of nodes to be evenly distributed to a plurality of output ports, thereby significantly reducing the frequency of data loss by preventing overloading to a single port, and the output port for specific data is switched or In case of disconnection, data loss can be prevented by obtaining an alternative output port from the output port list in the forwarding route tree entry.;      Router, ECMP, Unicast Routing
