Embodiment
MDV-Multicast Distributing VLAN is VLAN who is exclusively used in the multicast traffic stream in bear multicast source on the Ethernet switch, and the exchange function controllably copies to the multicast traffic stream among this VLAN among other a plurality of program request VLAN goes.As shown in Figure 2, MDV receives the source IP multicast traffic stream of a plurality of multicast group from core/convergence-level, and switch copies to descending user's program request VLAN with multicast data message, and G1, G2, G3 represent to have the multicast traffic stream of a plurality of multicast group among Fig. 2.
The agreement computational entity of MDV is the IGMP Snooping agreement after the part expansion, can monitor the mutual of IGMP message between the multicast member that is distributed in any VLAN of switch and the router, study needs the group address of the multicast traffic stream of the link information of multicast member of receiving multicast data stream and upstream router, and the link information of multicast member comprises the TAG of physical port ID and affiliated VLAN thereof.
When router transmission multicast packet flow to Ethernet switch, switches learn began to create new Layer 2 Multicast data forwarding table to the group address of multicast traffic stream.Fig. 3 is the schematic diagram of new transmitting multicast data table.New transmitting multicast data table adopts the link information of two-stage data structure records multicast member, and the two-stage data structure is made of multicast link table and member port tabulation.Program request VLAN with different TAG is distributed in the multicast link table, and each node of multicast link table is represented a program request VLAN.Different program request VLAN has a member port tabulation respectively, shared this member port tabulation of all multicast members under each program request VLAN, a physical port of each nodes records switch of member port tabulation, i.e. a multicast member.New transmitting multicast data table is distributed in the user of different VLAN by above-mentioned two-stage data structure sign.
Fig. 3 is the forwarding data table items that example has been described a multicast group to organize 1, has a plurality of multicast group in actual the use, and the forwarding-table item of other groups all will be set up forwarding-table item with this form.
Fig. 4 is typical multicast network topological structure, and each user distribution is in different VLAN among the figure.We will describe certain channel program of user's program request in detail according to this figure, promptly add and leave the overall process of certain group.
Layer 2 switch has listened to the user need add certain group, can give up router with user's Report message reporting from MDV, note the inbound port ID of Report message and the TAG of affiliated VLAN thereof simultaneously, so that in the transmitting multicast data table, identify this user.
Router is after receiving the Report message that Layer 2 switch reports, and multicast data forwarding flows to Layer 2 switch, and this multicast traffic stream flows into Layer 2 switch in MDV.Layer 2 switch begins to create new transmitting multicast data table, and at first the TAG with VLAN under the user adds the multicast link table to, and secondly the ID with physical port adds in the member port tabulation of this program request VLAN.
When router constantly issues multicast traffic stream, Layer 2 switch matches specific transmitting multicast data list item according to the group address of multicast traffic stream, from the multicast link table of this list item, find active user's program request VLAN, obtain the physical port of this multicast traffic stream again from the member port tabulation of each program request VLAN, realized the transmission of Layer 2 switch thus the travelling across VLAN of multicast traffic stream.
Need leave certain group when Layer 2 switch listens to the existing subscriber, still give up router from MDV with user's Leave message reporting, router no longer issues multicast traffic stream.Simultaneously, the Layer 2 switch link information that will identify this user is deleted from the transmitting multicast data table.
