Forwarding information base caching

Abstract:

A network device may determine a control plane session type associated with a control plane session. The control plane session may be associated with the network device. The network device may determine whether the control plane session type is associated with a forwarding information base (FIB) cache on the network device. The network device may obtain, based on determining that the control plane session type is associated with the FIB cache, forwarding information associated with the control plane session. The forwarding information may be stored in a FIB, associated with the FIB cache, on the network device. The network device may store the forwarding information in the FIB cache and process the control plane session using the forwarding information stored in the FIB cache.
