Description

SDN-based IP network and optical network collaborative path opening system and method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of data communication and optical network communication, in particular to an SDN-based IP network and optical network cooperative path opening system and method.
Background
The cooperative management and control of the IP network and the optical network is always a key problem of communication network development, if two networks which are independently planned, managed and operated can be cooperatively operated and maintained, the overall operation efficiency of the communication network can be greatly improved, and the overall construction and maintenance complexity and cost of the network can be greatly reduced.
The emergence of Software Defined Networking (SDN) provides a new solution for cooperative operation and maintenance of IP networks and optical networks. The SDN is a novel network technology, and its idea is to separate a control plane and a data forwarding plane of a network and implement programmable control. In an SDN-based network, the network device may employ general-purpose hardware; the original operating system responsible for control is abstracted into an independent network operating system which is responsible for adaptation to different service characteristics, and the communication among the network operating system, the service characteristics and the hardware equipment can be realized through programming.
Based on the above basis, the industry generally proposes that two networks cooperatively interact through a cooperation and arrangement mode between an IP network SDN controller and an optical network SDN controller, so as to quickly and efficiently implement service provisioning, link protection and fault processing. For example, patent application for rapid provisioning system and method for IP and optical network services (application number: 201810825806.2) proposes to set up an IP network controller and an optical network controller respectively, and construct a cooperative controller on the top of the rapid provisioning system for IP and optical network services, so that the IP network controller and the optical network controller can interact with the cooperative controller respectively, and then the cooperative controller can plan an optimal path uniformly, and control an IP network layer and an optical network layer at the same time. The invention provides an IP route processing method and device based on an ASON (advanced switch optical network) and an application number 201410306952.6, which utilize the automatic connection capacity of the optical network to optimize the selection of an IP route. The cooperative and unified control of the IP + optical network proposed by the thesis [3] [4] [5] takes an IP network SDN controller and an optical network SDN controller as starting points, and finally realizes the cooperative control of the IP network and the optical network through cooperative and unified control among the controllers.
The IP network and the optical network have respective characteristics in the aspects of construction, operation and maintenance and service processing. The IP service has uncertainty and unpredictability, the granularity of the IP service is large, and the requirement on the processing capacity of equipment is fine. The IP network has flexible networking, convenient service configuration and rapid strategy construction and issuing. In contrast, the granularity of optical network processing is large, service delivery and policy configuration are not convenient and fast enough due to the need of adapting to the optical device, and meanwhile, the frequent work of path establishment, policy configuration and the like is inconvenient.

Examples
Various data transmission service requirements exist in the network, such as distribution and backup of data between data centers, interaction of data between nodes of an enterprise, opening of a dedicated transmission line between nodes of a telecommunication network, and the like. Taking fig. 1 as an example, each node in the IP network is set as a core router in the telecommunication network, and there is a requirement for establishing a dedicated transmission line between each node and the core router. Generally, data equipment and optical transmission equipment are connected back-to-back in a telecommunications network so that IP data can be encapsulated into optical signals for transmission in an optical network. At this time, the data device and the optical transmission device have a mapping relationship, and in fig. 1, a-a, B-B, C-E, D-D, E-g, and F-h indicate a mapping connection relationship between the data device and the optical transmission device. The nodes c and f in the optical network are optical transmission relay nodes, and are not taken into consideration when the optical network carries out pre-configuration optical path calculation.
Based on the method provided by the invention, a resource analysis module A acquires the model of router equipment through an SDN southward interface protocol, wherein the model of the router equipment generally comprises Huacheng NE5000E, Cisco CRS or Alang 7750 equipment; collecting the number and the type of ports of the router, namely 10GE ports or 40GE ports, and the service condition of each port; and in the case of connection between routers, the next hop is which node. Similarly, the resource analysis module B collects the device type, the utilization rate, the connection condition, and the like of the transmission device through the southbound interface protocol.
Taking fig. 1 as an example, the strategy proposed by the present invention is specifically explained by the basic application of establishing a transmission path between two points. First, the optical network calculates a pre-configured optical path between two optical nodes. For example, two shortest paths between a and h are (a-e-g-h) (a → b → d → (f) → h), and since the f node is a relay node, the number of formal hops is not calculated. The link with the highest resource utilization rate in the path (a-e-g-h) is (a-e) 55%, and the link with the highest resource utilization rate in the path (a → b → d → (f) → h) is (a-b) 58%. The path (a-e-g-h) is selected as a preconfigured optical path with a bandwidth of 5GB/s, which is synchronized to the IP network SDN controller and the optical network SDN controller. This pre-configured lightpath may provide a transmission lightpath for data streaming of a-F nodes in an IP network.
When an IP network SDN controller receives an A-F node service routing request, through finding that pre-configured optical paths a-h exist, the IP network SDN controller notifies that the optical network SDN controller needs to occupy the optical path transmission service, and meanwhile, a newly-built IP routing table is set as A according to the information of the pre-configured optical paths: (A → C → E → F).
When a preconfigured optical path (a → e → g → h) between a and h is occupied, the SDN controller of the optical network updates the resource usage, and finds that the usage rate of the optical path is already high at this time, and cannot provide a bandwidth larger than 5GB/s, a preconfigured optical path is recalculated, and the shortest path is (a → B → d → (f) → h), then the preconfigured optical path is constructed as B: and (a → b → d → F → h), and the bandwidth is 5GB/s, so as to serve as a data flow transmission optical path of the A-F node in the IP network, and distribute and inform the data flow transmission optical path to the SDN controller of the IP network.
When the IP network SDN controller receives a new A-F node service route establishment request again, the pre-configuration optical path B is used: (a → B → d → (f) → h), while the newly created IP routing table is set to B: (A → B → D → F).
The present invention provides a system and a method for opening a path in cooperation between an IP network and an optical network based on an SDN, and a method and a device for implementing the technical scheme are many, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that, for a person having ordinary skill in the art, a number of improvements and modifications may be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention. All the components not specified in the present embodiment can be realized by the prior art.

and 5: the method comprises the steps that an IP network SDN controller sends a service request to an optical network SDN controller, a pre-configuration module in the optical network SDN controller calculates a new pre-configuration optical path meeting bandwidth requirements according to the service request bandwidth, and feeds back the result to the IP network SDN controller;
step 6: the IP network SDN controller sets IP routing information according to the new pre-configured optical path meeting the bandwidth requirement and sends the IP routing information to the IP equipment;
and 7: establishing a service end-to-end path after the IP route and the optical route are set;
and 8: and the SDN controller of the optical network detects the occupation condition of the pre-configured light path, and the pre-configured module calculates and supplements a new pre-configured light path and updates the new pre-configured light path to the resource analysis module B and the resource analysis module A.
2. The system of claim 1, wherein step 1 comprises: dividing optical network resources into three types, wherein the first type is occupied optical path resources, namely resources used for bearing service transmission tasks; the second type is pre-configured light path resources, the resources are already allocated to the pre-configured light path, when the service needing to be carried is sent, the pre-configured light path is directly started, and the formal path establishment of the light path is completed; the third type is unused resources, which are later allocated to pre-configured lightpaths.
3. The system of claim 2, wherein step 2 comprises: a service provisioning module pre-configures an optical path for an optical network, wherein the pre-configured optical path refers to a corresponding optical path pre-configured in advance between two optical nodes, an optical network SDN controller informs an IP network SDN controller of information of the optical path pre-configured between the two optical nodes, when the two optical nodes actually generate a specific data transmission request, the IP network SDN controller calculates the IP path according to the pre-configured optical path and then processes and transmits data, at the moment, a pre-configured module of the SDN controller needs to maintain a pre-configured optical path table for calculating and storing path information and resource allocation conditions of the pre-configured optical path between any two optical nodes; when the preconfigured optical path between two optical nodes is used for carrying service and resources are occupied, a preconfigured module in the optical network SDN controller calculates and constructs a new preconfigured optical path in time according to the use condition of the whole network resources, and the calculation and update strategies of the preconfigured optical path are as follows:
step 2-1: counting the use condition of each light path resource, and setting a resource pre-occupation value alpha, namely pre-configuring the size of the occupied bandwidth of the light path; when the idle bandwidth of the optical path is lower than alpha, deleting the optical path from the network topology, and updating to generate a new optical network topology;
step 2-2: based on the optical network topology generated in the step 2-1, calculating paths for any two optical nodes by using a shortest path algorithm, if more than two shortest paths exist, selecting a section of link with the highest resource utilization rate on each shortest path for mutual comparison, and selecting a shortest path with a lower resource utilization rate as a pre-configuration optical path; and when the resources of the pre-configured light path are occupied, re-counting the use condition of each light path resource, and calculating and updating the pre-configured light path.
