Resiliency and high availability

• HP Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) technology - HP Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) technology is HP’s innovative technology that connects multiple routers through physical IRF ports to achieve system virtualization. All routers appears as one node on the network to allow for simplified configuration, while achieving high resiliency and increased system expandability at lower cost.
• Separate data and control planes - Provide greater flexibility and enable continual services.
• Hot-swappable modules - Facilitates the replacement of hardware interface modules without impacting the traffic flow through the system.
• Optional redundant power supply - Provides uninterrupted power; allows hot-swapping of one of the two supplies when installed.
• Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) - Allows groups of two routers to dynamically back each other up to create highly available routed environments.
• Graceful restart - Supports graceful restart for OSPF, IS-IS, BGP, LDP, and RSVP; the network remains stable during the active-standby switchover; after the switchover, the device quickly learns the network routes by communicating with adjacent routers; forwarding remains uninterrupted during the switchover to achieve nonstop forwarding (NSF).
• Hitless software upgrades - Allow patches to be installed without restarting the device, increasing network uptime and simplifying maintenance.
• IP Fast Reroute Framework (FRR) - Nodes are configured with backup ports and routes; local implementation requires no cooperation of adjacent devices, simplifying the deployment; solves the traditional convergence faults in IP forwarding; achieves restoration within 50 ms, with the restoration time independent of the number of routes and fast link switchovers without route convergence.

Product architecture

• Distributed processing - Two kinds of engines are hardware-separated: main controller engine (routing engine) and service engines (Flexible Interface Platform [FIP] and Service Aggregation Platform [SAP]); the main controller engine is used for route computing and system management, and service engines are used for processing services.
• HP Apollo Processor - HP in-house designed service/forwarding processor supporting powerful parallel processing, encryption and comprehensive HQoS functionalities.

• Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) - Uses BGP to advertise routes across Label Switched Paths (LSPs), but uses simple labels to forward packets from any Layer 2 or Layer 3 protocol, which reduces complexity and increases performance; supports graceful restart for reduced failure impact; supports LSP tunneling and multilevel stacks.
• Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Layer 3 VPN - Allows Layer 3 VPNs across a provider network; uses MP-BGP to establish private routes for increased security; supports RFC 2547bis multiple autonomous system VPNs for added flexibility.
• Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Layer 2 VPN - Establishes simple Layer 2 point-to-point VPNs across a provider network using only MPLS Label Distribution Protocol (LDP); requires no routing and therefore decreases complexity, increases performance, and allows VPNs of non-routable protocols; uses no routing information for increased security; supports Circuit Cross Connect (CCC), Static Virtual Circuits (SVCs), Martini draft, and Kompella-draft technologies.
• Policy routing - Allows custom filters for increased performance and security; supports ACLs, IP prefix, AS paths, community lists, and aggregate policies.
• Multicast VPN - Supports Multicast Domain (MD) multicast VPN, which can be distributed on separate service cards, providing high performance and flexible configuration.
• Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) - Establishes point-to-multipoint Layer 2 VPNs across a provider network.
