Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a network logical layering method based on Routing In Fat Tree (RIFT) protocol, a network logical layering device, a network device and a storage medium. By exchanging Link Information Element (LIE) packets and Topology Information Element (TIE) packets with other devices, a network device can enable the other devices in the network to know a topology supported by the present device and to know neighbor information and Metric information of the present device in the supported topology, and the network device can also know the topologies supported by the other devices in the network and the neighbor information and the Metric information of the other devices in the corresponding topologies. Thus, the device can calculate a topology route corresponding to the topology supported thereby.
