FAST FORWARDING RE-CONVERGENCE OF SWITCH FABRIC MULTI-DESTINATION PACKETS TRIGGERED BY LINK FAILURES

A network device receives multi-destination packets from a first node and forwards at least a first of the multi-destination packets to another network device using a first multi-destination tree with respect to the network device. The network device detects that a link associated with the first multi-destination tree satisfies one or more criteria and, in response to detecting that the link satisfies the one or more criteria, selects a second multi-destination tree with respect to the network device. The network device forwards at least a second of the multi-destination packets to the other network device using the second multi-destination tree. 网络设备从第一节点接收多目的地分组，并且使用用于所述网络设备的第一多目的地树将所述多目的地分组中的至少第一个转发到另一网络设备。所述网络设备检测与第一多目的地树相关联的链路满足一个或多个判据，并且响应于检测到所述链路满足所述一个或多个判据，选择用于所述网络设备的第二多目的地树。所述网络设备使用第二多目的地树将所述多目的地分组中的至少第二个转发到所述另一网络设备。
