Embodiment
For making purpose of the present invention, technical scheme and advantage clearer, below with reference to the accompanying drawing embodiment that develops simultaneously, the present invention is described in further detail.
In embodiments of the present invention, being example, the monitoring of bearing resource among the MGW is described the bandwidth on the IP tunnel among the MGW.Here, described IP tunnel is: the source IP address of setting up for bearer service from local MGW IP the purpose IP address in the purpose MGW connects.At this, need limit to be set and exhales threshold value according to the bandwidth that can carry on the IP tunnel, when the bandwidth of carrying on the IP tunnel exceeds limit and exhales threshold value, think that then this IP tunnel has been in congestion state.Limit exhales the setting of threshold value both can be: exhale threshold value for each IP tunnel is provided with identical limit, also can be: each IP tunnel be provided with different limits and exhales threshold value, concrete big I is according to the actual conditions of network operation, and the user determines the requirement of network service quality.
Simultaneously, can also be according to the actual needs of network, exceed that limit exhales threshold value according to the bandwidth of IP tunnel carrying what the congestion state of IP tunnel carried out classification distinguish.For example, when the bandwidth of carrying on the IP tunnel exceeds limit when exhaling threshold value 10M, right congestion level is an one-level then to think current IP; When the bandwidth of carrying on the IP tunnel exceeds limit when exhaling threshold value 20M, right congestion level is a secondary then to think current IP; According to similar method and the like following rank is set.If desired congestion state is carried out classification, then need to set in advance each such classification thresholds of similar 10M, 20M.The size of concrete classification thresholds can be according to the actual conditions of network operation, and the user determines the requirement of network service quality.
The benefit of congestion state being carried out classification is, when the resource on the IP tunnel has been in congestion state but under the not high situation of congestion level, can still allow it to take resource on the IP tunnel for the business of high priority, help guaranteeing the quality of server of high-priority service like this, help operator's segmentation.
Fig. 1 is the flow chart of monitoring resource on the IP tunnel in the present embodiment, specifically describes as follows:
Whether step 101:MGW monitors in real time self to exist to carry to set up successfully or carry and removes successful service, when existing carrying to set up successful service, and execution in step 102; When existing carrying to remove successful service, execution in step 103.
Here, MGW judges that the method that self whether exists carrying to set up successful service can be: judge whether self sent at the carrying of certain business to the MSC server and set up success response, if then should business set up successful service for carrying; MGW judges that the method that self whether exists carrying to remove successful service can be: judge whether self sent at the carrying of certain business to the MSC server and remove success response, if then should business remove successful service for carrying.
Step 102:MGW sets up successfully pairing business according to carrying, and the bandwidth that business is shared is accumulated on total occupied bandwidth of professional pairing IP tunnel, execution in step 104.
Step 103:MGW removes successfully pairing business according to carrying, business deduct the professional shared IP tunnel bandwidth of current dismounting, execution in step 104 on total occupied bandwidth of corresponding IP tunnel.
Step 104: whether the bandwidth of judging the shared IP tunnel of current business has exceeded limit is exhaled threshold value, exhales threshold value if exceed limit, and then current IP channel has been in congestion state, execution in step 105; Otherwise current IP channel is not in congestion state, execution in step 106.
Step 105: exhale the congestion level of how many definite current IP channel of threshold value according to exceeding limit, finish current monitoring flow process.For example, when the one-level classification thresholds that sets in advance is that the secondary classification thresholds of 10M, setting is when being 20M, then exceed limit when exhaling threshold value to be 8M when the occupied bandwidth on the IP tunnel, current congestion level is an one-level, when the occupied bandwidth on the IP tunnel exceeds limit when exhaling threshold value to be 16M, current congestion level is a secondary.
Whether to be in state congested if the IP direction only need be understood by system, and when not needing specifically to understand the congestion level of IP direction, then can save step 105, promptly after finishing to the whether congested judgement of IP tunnel, if current IP channel is in congestion state, determine that then current IP channel is a congestion state, finishes current monitoring flow process; When if current IP channel is in non-congestion state, execution in step 106.
Step 106: determine that current IP channel is non-congestion state, finish current monitoring flow process.
In actual applications,, MGW self exist carrying to set up successful service or carrying when removing successful service when whenever judging, and all can execution in step 101~106.
In flow process shown in Figure 1, when existing carrying to remove successful service in the MGW, can also be before execution in step 103 or step 104, judge further whether the professional shared IP tunnel that current success is removed had been in congestion state before not removing current business, if be not in congestion state, can determine directly that then current IP channel is non-congestion state, finishes current monitoring flow process; Be not under the situation of congestion state if be in congestion state and in the judgement of subsequent step 104, obtain current IP channel, determine that current IP channel is non-congestion state, finish current monitoring flow process.Other steps are identical with flow process shown in Figure 1, are not described in detail in this.
In the flow process of Fig. 1 introduction bearing resource be with MGW in bandwidth on the IP tunnel be that example is introduced, the bearing resource among the MGW can also be the occupancy of bandwidth, the logic chain way on the IP tunnel, the CPU among the MGW, system message bag and the processing module control table of statistic multiplexing total on a plurality of IP tunnels.The method for supervising of these resources is identical with method for supervising shown in Figure 1, also is that employing adds up when carrying is set up successfully, deducts the corresponding resource that takies when carrying is removed successfully, and then judges whether the resource among the MGW is congested.
When carrying out flow process shown in Figure 1,, can also trigger the admission control mechanism of startup at this IP direction if monitoring obtains that certain IP tunnel has been in congestion state among the MGW; If the congested recovery of certain IP tunnel, cancellation is at the admission control mechanism of this IP tunnel.The admission control mechanism here: just when certain IP tunnel has been in congestion state,, then access control is carried out in this foundation carrying request if MGW receives the request of setting up carrying on this IP tunnel.
Concrete admission control method can be a flow process as shown in Figure 2, specifies as follows:
Step 201~202: initiate professionally when setting up bearing request message when MGW receives that the MSC server is current, judge whether the required IP tunnel that takies of current business has started access control, if startup, execution in step 203; Otherwise, execution in step 206.
Wherein, in the process of execution graph 1, when certain IP tunnel of MGW is in congestion state, also can not start admission control mechanism at this IP tunnel.But, initiate professionally when setting up bearing request message when MGW receives whenever that the MSC server is current, judge whether the shared IP tunnel of current business has been in congestion state, if be in congestedly, then start access control, execution in step 203; Otherwise, execution in step 206.
Step 203: obtain the professional required congestion level of IP tunnel and the priority of current business of taking.Here, obtaining the professional required congestion level that takies IP tunnel can obtain by the monitoring flow process of Fig. 1.The priority that obtains current business then can obtain according to priority that should business had in the prior art.For example, obtain to shine upon the comprehensive quality rank (IQC) that obtains by user class and class of service.If business is not carried any priority, then this business is considered as the minimum business of priority.
Step 204: whether the congestion level of judging bearing resource needs this level traffic limit is exhaled, and limits if desired and exhales, and then execution in step 205; Otherwise, execution in step 206.
Here, the concrete method of judging can be: other congestedly can carry out which kind of other priority service of level limit to and exhale to set in advance which kind of level, according to the congestion level of the priority of business and professional shared IP tunnel business is limit and is exhaled.For example: when congestion level be set to four grades, when professional priority also is set to four grades, when professional shared IP tunnel being set being level 1 congestion, can only be that the service implementation limit of one-level is exhaled to priority, and be that two, three or four business can not be implemented limit and exhales priority; Professional shared IP tunnel be set be secondary when congested, can only to priority be one or the service implementation limit of secondary exhale, and to priority be three or the business of level Four can not implement limit and exhale, congestion level be three or level Four then can be according to similar situation.
Step 205:MGW returns carrying to the MSC server and sets up failure response, and MGW finishes the carrying of current business and sets up flow process.
Step 206: follow-up handling process is set up in normal execution carrying.
In step 204,, can also judge whether that needs are limit current business according to the ratio that limit is exhaled to exhale that if desired, then execution in step 205 when business being limit when exhaling; Otherwise, execution in step 206.For example: when the ratio of exhaling when limit is set to 50%, on average meaning, then be one of per two call blocking.
When whether MGW only can provide system to be in congested and concrete congestion level can not be provided, or the user is not when needing MGW that the service of exhaling according to the congestion level limit is provided, the operation that then can save step 203 and step 204, and other steps are constant.
The above is preferred embodiment of the present invention only, is not to be used to limit protection scope of the present invention.
