For example, for a subrate application scenario of an ethernet service, the flexible ethernet can support that 250G of ethernet service (Media Access Control (MAC) code stream) is transmitted by using 3 existing 100GE Physical Media Dependent sublayers (PMD). Aiming at the application scene of the inverse multiplexing of the Ethernet service, the flexible Ethernet can support that the 200G Ethernet service is transmitted by adopting 2 paths of the existing PMD of 100 GE.

After the source node receives the service path response message, the configured service information of the node has the same structure as the service information configured by the sink node.
Furthermore, the host node compares the path information of all the received service path request messages, selects a path with the bandwidth meeting and the fewest hops, extracts message configuration data, configures the service information of the host node, and then sends a service path response message according to the finally selected path and the configured service information of the host node.

adding the service information of the host node into the service path request message;
directly modifying the target MAC in the service path request message into the MAC address of the source node;
and taking the modified service path request message as a service path response message.
It should be noted that, after receiving the service path response packet, the intermediate node (P node) configures the service information of this node, first generates two FlexE clients, where the bound network-side FlexE port time slot sequences have the same configuration, adds both FlexE clients to a FlexE Group, where PHY numbers are the same, and then generates two FlexE Client time slot cross attributes.

step 601: a host node receives a service path request message sent by a neighboring node;
further, the sink node receives a service path request message sent by a neighboring node through a data communication network DCN channel.

It should be noted that the following preferred embodiments are only for better describing the present invention and should not be construed as unduly limiting the present invention.
Step 1001: determining a source node, a destination node, service parameters and path parameters of a service to be configured;
it should be noted that, here, the source node, the sink node, the service parameter, and the path parameter of the service to be configured are determined according to the actual information of the service to be configured.
Step 1002, a source node sends a service path request message to a neighboring node through a DCN channel;
the parameters carried by the service path request message include, but are not limited to: destination MAC, source MAC, service parameter, path parameter.
It should be noted that the neighboring node refers to a node connected to the current node through a DCN channel, the format of the service path request packet is shown in fig. 2, and the service path request packet further includes a number of node hops passed and a port residual bandwidth passed.
Step 1003, the adjacent node determines that the node attribute is an intermediate node or a host node according to the service path request message information, if the node attribute is the intermediate node, the adjacent node adds the node path parameter and the service parameter to the service path request message and forwards the service path parameter and the service parameter to other adjacent nodes; if the node is a host node, the adjacent node determines a service path according to the service path request message information and configures the service information of the host node, and then sends a service path response message according to the determined service path;
further, the neighboring node judges whether the destination node MAC in the service path request message is consistent with the MAC of the node, and if so, the node is a host node; if not, the node is an intermediate node.
Further, if the adjacent node is an intermediate node, the path information of the node is added to the service path request message and forwarded to other adjacent nodes.
Further, if the adjacent node is a sink node, the path information in the service path request message is taken out, compared with the path information of all received service path request messages, the path with the bandwidth meeting and the fewest hops is selected, then the configuration data of the service path request message is extracted, the service information of the sink node is configured, and then the service path response message is sent according to the finally selected path and the configured service information of the sink node.
Specifically, the extracting of the message configuration data and the configuring of the service information of the sink node specifically include determining a time slot sequence occupied by a Flexe Client according to the service bandwidth, wherein 1 time slot is 5G in size; generating a Flexe Group serial Number and a Number, adding a Flexe port on a service network side of a host node into the Flexe Group, and generating a PHY Number; the Flexe Client is also added to the Flexe Group, and the Flexe Client is bound to the Client-side port.
And step 1004, after receiving the service path response message, the nodes on the path configure the service information of the nodes according to the service path response message.
It should be noted that the path information in the service path response message includes all node MACs and ports in the path, and the service information includes a FlexE Group, a FlexE Client, and a time slot sequence occupied by the FlexE Client. After receiving the service path response message, the PE source node configures the service information of the node with the same structure as the service information configured by the PE sink node; however, after the P node receives the response message, when configuring the service information of the P node, firstly generating two Flexe clients, wherein the time slot sequences of the bound Flexe ports on the network side are configured identically, and adding the two Flexe clients into a Flexe Group, wherein the PHY numbers are identical, and then generating two Flexe Client time slot cross attributes.
After the service configuration is completed, the configured service information can be checked on each node to check whether the service information is correct or not.
According to the service configuration method and the nodes provided by the invention, the automatic generation of the service of the whole network equipment can be completed after the source nodes, the destination nodes and the corresponding service information are confirmed manually, the single network elements are not required to be configured one by one through a command line, the operation steps are simple and convenient, the method is very close to engineering application, pure software is automatically operated, manual missing configuration and mismatching are prevented, and particularly, when the service path is longer, the difficulty, the cost and the risk of engineering field maintenance are greatly reduced;
furthermore, the DCN channel is used for sending or receiving the service path request message and the service path response message, extra occupied bandwidth is not needed, and on the premise that all nodes in the network start the DCN channel function, no matter which service between two points is created, the DCN channel can be quickly and effectively completed.
