A method and system for an aggregated virtual local area network (VLAN) architecture in which several VLANs in a network share the same default router address and subnet mask, but remain isolated from one another's network traffic. Instead of the traditional method of assigning one subnet to a VLAN, each VLAN is assigned only a portion of a subnet's IP address space, and is further grouped into a super-VLAN uniquely associated with that subnet. Intra-VLAN traffic is forwarded only to host IP addresses assigned to that same VLAN according to a VLAN identifier carried in the data packet. Inter-VLAN traffic is processed by a virtual router interface which routes the data packet by applying the routing configuration for the subnet uniquely associated with the super-VLAN, according to a super-VLAN identifier carried in the data packet. The routing configuration used by the virtual router interface includes routing protocols, static routes, redundant router protocols and access-lists. Since each VLAN shares the same virtual router interlace, the traditional address overhead of a subnet is minimized, requiring only one default router and subnet mask, as well as only one pair of subnet broadcast addresses for all hosts on the subnet and the subnet itself. The aggregated VLAN architecture provides for the efficient use and management of a network's IP address space.

If no existing routing profile is found for a customer, routing to an agent by a default routing strategy.

A content delivery network system is disclosed. The system comprises a communication network, a first network node for providing services for clients to access network, a second network node for managing hosts for network content providers and a third network node, wherein said third network node sets a default route and a VPN tunnel between the first and second network nodes, and provides a cache server at the bandwidth outlet of the first network node, said cache server stores a information content which has been requested and transmitted. When the client request an information content, the third network node searches the cache server. If the information content is found, the cache server provides said information content to the client directly. If the information content is not found, the cache server sends a request for catching the information content to the second network via the VPN tunnel, and transmits the information content to the client via the default route. The cache server records the data of the transmitted information content. The recorded data is provided to the second network node, so that the second network node can bill the network content provider accordingly.

The default routing strategy is altered responsive to detection of overutilization of a particular path of one or more links, and at least some traffic is re-routed by distributing the traffic among multiple paths (which may include the default path). An alternative path may require a greater number of link traversals to reach the destination node.

In a data communication internetwork including a source station, an end station, and a default router for the source station, a default communication path including the default router is defined between the source station and the destination station. During operation of the data communication internetwork, a shortcut data communication path by passing the default router is established between the source station and the destination station, such that data packets transmitted by the source station are not received by the default router. After the shortcut communication path has been established, a control frame containing source-route information regarding the source station is transmitted to the router, and the source-route information is stored at the router. In this manner, the default router can efficiently direct data packets to the source station and facilitate the establishment of shortcut communication paths terminating at the source station even though the default router is bypassed by a shortcut communication path.

A multi-level lookup table includes a plurality of search levels with each search level including a plurality of subtrees, each subtree representing a plurality of nodes. A search of the multi-level lookup table for an entry corresponding to a search key results in a value stored in an entry associated with the node in a subtree. A default value is associated with the root of the subtree. Multiple entries for the subtree can store the default value. To minimize route update time, the default value associated with the subtree is stored in a single location. Instead of storing the default value in multiple entries, each entry stores a use default indicator to indicate that the default value stored in the single location is to be used. To further reduce the number of locations to modify to update the default route, the single location can store an inherit indicator to indicate that the default value for the subtree is inherited from another subtree.
