Abstract

See full text

Techniques are provided for assisting in the processing of failure detection protocol (FDP) packets. Techniques are provided that assist a CPU of a network device in processing incoming FDP packets. In one embodiment, only a subset of FDP packets received by the network device is forwarded to the CPU for processing, the other FDP packets are dropped and not forwarded to the CPU. The processing is performed using dual memory structures that enable receipt of FDP packets by the network device to be decoupled from the processing of FDP packets by the CPU of the network device.
