Abstract

The invention provides a communication device and an FIB (Forwarding Information Base) table generation method thereof. The method comprises the steps of judging whether available ECMP (Equal-Cost Multipath) resources and FEC (Forwarding Equivalency Class) resources corresponding to the available ECMP exist or not when a target FIB table needs to be generated and the target FIB table points to a plurality of next hops; generating the target FIB table and synchronizing the target FIB table to a forwarding chip if the available ECMP resources and the FEC resources corresponding to the available ECMP exist; and selecting one or more target next hops from the plurality of next hops if the available ECMP resources and the FEC resources corresponding to the available ECMP do not exist, generating the FIB tables pointing to the target next hops and synchronizing the target FIB tables to the forwarding chip. Through application of the embodiment of the invention, the successful probability of generating the FIB tables can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of network communication, in particular to a communication device and a method for generating a FIB table thereof. Background technique [0002] The FIB (Forwarding Information Base, forwarding information base) table is used to guide IP (Internet Protocol, Internet Protocol) message forwarding. The router selects a route through the routing table, and sends the preferred route to the FIB table, and then the router can guide the forwarding of IP packets through the FIB table. Wherein, each forwarding entry in the FIB table indicates the next-hop IP address and the outgoing interface of the message to reach a certain subnet or a certain host. [0003] The FIB table usually points to a single next hop, but when there are multiple entries with the same address and the same cost, and the multiple routes have the same priority, the multiple routes will be used as ECMP (Equal-Cost Multipath, etc. valence path) t...
