AR2 announces by BGP above-mentioned new routing iinformation " prefix Prefix6--next hop address is the IPv4 address of AR2 " in AS, utilize notification packet to inform the bgp neighbor AR1 that AR2 is all, CR2, CR1.
Step 33: each bgp neighbor network element of border network element generates local IPv6 converting route.
Utilize Interior Gateway Protocol IGP routing iinformation and described new routing iinformation, determine the local direct-connected next hop address of the pairing IPv6 prefix of above-mentioned each bgp neighbor network element, generate the local IPv6 converting route of each bgp neighbor network element.
Receive each bgp neighbor network element of described new routing iinformation among the AS, the routing iinformation of all " the direct-connected next hop address of IPv4 prefix-IPv4 " in BGP route " IPv6 prefix-IPv4 next hop address " and the local routing table is made comparisons, generate the routing table " the direct-connected next hop address of IPv6 prefix-IPv4 " that is used for the IPv6 forwarding.This process can be called the route iterative process.
In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, AR1, CR2, after CR1 receives the announcement routing iinformation, according to the prefix of IPv6 message, the routing iinformation in conjunction with local is generally the IGP routing iinformation, produce AR1, CR2, the local direct-connected next hop address of the pairing IPv6 message of CR1, generate the local IPv6 converting route of AR1, CR2, CR1.
Wherein, with CR1 is example, CR1 needs to search how to arrive AR2 in conjunction with local IGP routing iinformation, local IGP routing iinformation indication " prefix AR2--next hop address is the IPv4 address of CR2 " and corresponding outgoing interface information as CR1, CR1 is known by CR1 when AR2 sends the IPv6 message, should send to the nearer CR2 from AR2 earlier, then generate new IPv6 route: " prefix Prefix6--next hop address is the IPv4 address of CR2 " forms local IPv6 converting route.
In the present example, AR1, CR2 can adopt the method identical with above-mentioned CR1 according to announcement routing iinformation and local IGP routing iinformation, obtains AR1, the local direct-connected next hop address of the pairing IPv6 message of CR2.
Obtained IPv6 message forwarding routing table information by each bgp neighbor network element dynamic learning of above-mentioned steps, perhaps, also can be in advance the static described IPv6 converting route of configuration so that comprise the corresponding relation of IPv6 prefix and described next hop address in the IPv6 converting route that related network elements is safeguarded.The IPv6 converting route of safeguarding in each bgp neighbor network element can be expressed as follows:
