Abstract
Unified mapping tables with source/destination labels for packet forwarding systems are disclosed. In certain embodiments, local source/destination records are stored, and information from these local source/destination records are exchanged. Source/destination records from different packet forwarding systems are then combined to form unified mapping tables. Source records include general labels, descriptions of packet sources, and packet parameters to identify the source packets. Destination records include general labels, descriptions of packet destinations, and packet parameters to identify the packet destinations. The general source/destination labels are human-readable generalized descriptors that allow users/administrators of packet forwarding systems to more easily configure and define filters that determine how packets are forwarded by the packet forwarding systems. A management component can also be used as part of a central management system to receive local source/destination records and to form a master unified mapping table that can be accessed by the different packet forwarding systems.
