Systems and methods for providing I-SID translation in SPB networks

Last updated:

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and apparatuses are disclosed herein for providing an Individual Service Instance identifier ("I-SID") translation service for accessing services on different networks. Packets designated for specific services via an I-SID Tag may be received at an edge network device and a lookup may be performed to locate the service on another network via the I-SID corresponding to the service, the I-SID being mapped at another network. The I-SID may be updated with the newly-located I-SID in order for the packet to reach an appropriate service on the other network.
