Dynamic Path Selection (DPS) feature selects a path to deliver customer traffic to the destination that meets or

In order for forwarding equivalence classes (FECs) to get programmed in the ASIC, they must have some form of a

EOS supports the ability to match on a single VLAN tag (example: encapsulation dot1q vlan 10)  or a VLAN tag pair (example: encapsulation dot1q vlan 10 inner 20) to map matching packets to an interface. In this case, the encapsulation string is considered consumed by the mapped interface before forwarding, which means that the tags are effectively removed from the incoming packet for the purposes of any downstream forwarding.

This feature introduces the hardware forwarding support for IPv4 over IPv4, GRE-Tunnel interfaces on Arista Switches. A GRE-Tunnel interface acts as a logical interface which performs the GRE encapsulation or decapsulation.

NAT (Network Address Translation) is a feature that allows each packet's addresses to be rewritten according to the

For network monitoring and troubleshooting flow related issues, it is desirable to know the path, latency, queue and congestion information for flows at different times. The inband telemetry feature(INT), based on Inband Flow Analyzer RFC draft -IFA 2.0 and IFA 1.0(on some platforms) , is used to gather per flow telemetry information like path, per hop latency and congestion. INT is supported for both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic.

IPv6 routes of certain prefix lengths can be optimized for enhanced route scale on R3. This TOI explains the usage of these optimizations.

Normally, a switch traps L2 protocol frames to the CPU. However, certain use-cases may require these frames to be forwarded or dropped. And in cases where the L2 protocol frames are forwarded (eg: Pseudowire), we may require the frames to be trapped to the CPU or dropped.

MAP T is a double stateless NAT64 translation technology. It allows an internet service provider to share IPv4

This feature allows classification of packets based on the inner CoS value in a double tagged packet.

Multicast EVPN IRB solution allows for the delivery of customer BUM (Broadcast, Unknown unicast and Multicast)

A router keeps track of the total number of LSAs for each OSPFv3 instance. The LSA Limit feature provides a mechanism to

Policy-based routing (PBR) is a feature that is applied on routable ports, to preferentially route packets. Forwarding is based on a policy that is enforced at the ingress of the applied interface and overrides normal routing decisions. In addition to matches on regular ACLs, PBR policy-maps can also include “raw match” statements that look like a single entry of an ACL as a convenience for users.

The postcard telemetry(GreenT - GRE Encapsulated Telemetry) feature is used to gather per flow telemetry information like path and per hop latency. For network monitoring and troubleshooting flow related issues, it is desirable to know the path, latency and congestion information for flows at different times.

This feature extends the existing functionality to set explicit next hop addresses for vpn ipv4 and vpn ipv6 routes.

This feature adds a SNMP CLI knob to allow an interface’s speed, as shown in IF MIB, to reflect its shaped bandwidth.

This feature extends the capabilities of Tap Aggregation traffic steering to allow for using traffic policies.

This TOI supplements the Ingress Traffic Policy applied on ingress interfaces. Please refer to that document for a description of Traffic Policies and field-sets. This TOI explains the Traffic Policies as applied in the egress direction on interfaces

Access Control Lists (ACL) use packet classification to mark certain packets going through the packet processor pipeline and then take configured action against them. Rules are defined based on various fields of packets and usually TCAM is used to match packets to rules. For example, there can be a rule to match the packet source IP address against a list of IP addresses, and drop the packet if there is a match. This will be expressed in TCAM with multiple entries matching the list of IP addresses. Number of entries is reduced by masking off bits, if possible. TCAM is a limited resource, so with classifiers having a large number of rules and a big field list, TCAM runs out of resources.

Timestamping is an important tool for network engineering and performance analysis. The timestamp can be applied to a packet as either an inserted header or replacing the source MAC address of the original packet. Timestamps are recorded on ingress and applied on egress.
