Description

A kind of forwarding engine state detecting method and routing device
Technical field
The present invention relates to the network communications technology field, be specifically related to a kind of forwarding engine state detecting method and routing device.
Background technology
Router is the special equipment of network interconnection.It all has a wide range of applications on the private network of departments such as Internet/Intranet, local area network interconnection, fields such as local area network (LAN) visit, small office, and bank at a distance, traffic, post and telecommunications and business network.
Router is operated in the 3rd layer of OSI (development system interconnection) reference model, i.e. network layer.The basic function of router is: for seek the footpath by its IP message, promptly route then, is forwarded to the IP message in the main frame of the next stop or destination.Router must be finished the conversion of each quasi-protocol when message is transmitted when connecting two different types of networks, ICP/IP protocol or other agreement are unified to be in the upper strata of message.
At present, the architecture of router generally comprises following three kinds:
1, centralized forwarding router
The system configuration of centralized forwarding router as shown in Figure 1.Among Fig. 1, link to each other by internal bus between the interface card of router and the CPU (central processing unit), CPU is responsible for all transaction, collects, transmits processing, equipment control etc. as route.After interface card receives message, pass to CPU, finish passing from another network interface unit after all are handled by CPU by internal bus.
2, shared bus formula router
Shared bus formula router has been realized transmitting and separating of controlling, and its architecture as shown in Figure 2.Among Fig. 2, forwarding behaviors such as the route querying of router realize that by the CPU on the interface board Controlled CPU is finished work such as equipment control, route calculating.Carry out data interaction by the mode of shared bus between the CPU that is responsible on Controlled CPU and the interface board transmitting.Normally used bus has pci bus, cpci bus etc.
In the shared bus mode router on the bandwidth of shared bus, the interface board disposal ability of CPU be the bottleneck that message is transmitted.
3, switch-type router
Switch-type router has also been realized separating of Forwarding plane and control plane, and its architecture as shown in Figure 3.Among Fig. 3, dotted line is a control channel, and solid line is that message is transmitted passage.The difference of switch-type router and shared bus formula router is: switch-type router has increased switching network, and the forwarding engine on the interface board can be realized by ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC)), FPGA (field programmable gate array) or network processing unit.
Switch-type router efficiently solves the bandwidth bottleneck problem of shared bus in the shared bus formula router, simultaneously, by having replaced the universal cpu on the interface board, use special-purpose forwarding engine to carry out forwarding behaviors such as route querying, efficiently solve message forwarding performance bottleneck problem in the shared bus formula router.
The software system structure of switch-type router as shown in Figure 4.
Among Fig. 4, the software systems of switch-type router mainly comprise: Controlled CPU subsystem and interface board subsystem, Controlled CPU subsystem are route processing/management system, and the interface board subsystem can be divided into again to be transmitted support section and transmit the processing section.
The major function of route processing/management system is: the administering and maintaining and routine test, failure diagnosis/location, report or the like of the configuration of route calculating, route maintenance, service related data and equipment-related data and maintenance, system's operation monitoring, statistics.
Transmitting support section operates on the Controlled CPU of interface board, its major function is: be the forwarding engine service, realize and handle link layer protocol such as PPP over SDH, IPoA (Internet Protocols over ATM, Internet Protocol over ATM), EtherNet (Ethernet protocol), DPT agreement etc., equipment control such as interface management, equipment control, debugging support etc. are carried out in statistic gathering, management maintenance and collaborative master control.
Transmit the processing section and operate on the forwarding engine of interface board, its major function is: data forwarding such as IP message are transmitted, the MPLS message is transmitted, QOS, and traffic classification/DIFFSERV (differentiated service) is for the Realtime Statistics of finishing business factor is gathered message etc.
Because the switch-type router Capacity Ratio is bigger, makes the ground bit comparison height of switch-type router in network,, generally all adopt the architecture of switch type for the router that carrier class is used.
Carrier class is used very high to the requirement of service reliability, and is relatively stricter to the service disconnection space requirement, generally requires in 50 milliseconds.In the time of the interface fault of router, Routing Protocol can recomputate the outlet that an outgoing interface is transmitted as message, and the time grade of this calculating should be a second level, and time of service interruption is oversize just can't to satisfy the carrier-class requirement.
For recomputate at Routing Protocol finish before, make service traffics can continue to keep, developed multiple fast reroute techniques at present.Normally used fast reroute techniques has following three kinds:
1, based on the quick heavy-route of load balancing
Routing Protocol generates several equal-cost routes on transmitting, messages such as IP or MPLS carry out load balancing on equal-cost route when carrying out the message forwarding.Simultaneously, Routing Protocol need detect the state of the outgoing interface of each equal-cost route, if corresponding outgoing interface down then carries out Route Selection from other equal-cost routes.Find outgoing interface down at control aspect Routing Protocol, and it is long to delete time of corresponding route, during this period of time, forwarding plane by quick heavy-route with the corresponding service flow from other outgoing interfaces forwardings.
2, preestablish the quick heavy-route of inferior grade route
This method is to generate a low-grade route in routing table, and in the time of normal, this route does not participate in message and transmits.If the some outgoing interface down in high-grade some equal-cost routes, then the corresponding business flow forwards on the low-grade route.In the method, low-grade route is only just used in fault.Routing Protocol switches to service traffics on other routes from low-grade route after deleting the equal-cost route that lost efficacy and recomputating route.
3, the quick heavy-route of MPLS TE (MultiProtocal Label Switching Traffic Engineering, multi-protocol label switching traffic engineering)
MPLS TE sets up tunnel end to end in network, carry miscellaneous service by the tunnel.MPLSTE has special protection mechanism to node in the tunnel or link, and guard method is different from the two kinds of guard methods based on route in front.MPLS TE uses and sets up special protection tunnel to the enforcement protection of protected tunnel; the tunnel that is used to protect pre-sets; when protected link or node break down; service traffics switch on the protection tunnel rapidly; make service traffics walk around malfunctioning node or faulty link by the protection tunnel; when Business Stream measures the protection tunnel, reenter protected tunnel.
The prerequisite of above-mentioned three kinds of quick heavy-routes all is the fast detecting to port failure, and the speed that port failure detects has determined time of service interruption.At present, the method for port failure fast detecting mainly contains following two kinds:
1, interrupts reporting
After physical chip on the router interface plate detects link failure, trigger to interrupt giving and transmit support section, send message to transmitting the processing section, in band, notify all interface boards by the switching network broadcast packet by transmitting support section.
2, regularly inquiry
When not supporting to interrupt for the physical chip on the router interface plate, transmit support section and need regularly inquire about Link State, the time interval of inquiry has determined the speed of fault detect.
The prerequisite of above-mentioned port failure fast detecting is: the Controlled CPU on the interface board can operate as normal, i.e. the CPU of support section is transmitted in operation can be working properly.In the port failure method for quick, detection to as if interface.
When forwarding engine exceptional reset or forwarding engine fault make forwarding engine state unusual, need carry out quick heavy-route equally, but, when forwarding engine state is unusual, total interface on the interface board itself may all be normal, therefore, utilize above-mentioned port failure method for quick can not start quick heavy-route process.
Development along with mechanics of communication, the diverse network technology constantly merges, new technologies such as GMPLS occur thereupon, under the GMPLS technology, control plane can be the Routing Protocol of IP or the agreement of traffic engineering, then being not only the MPLS bag on Forwarding plane, can also be the VPI/VCI of time-multiplexed time slot, ATM, wave band of wavelength division multiplexing or the like.Use for these, because the control aspect is the Routing Protocol of IP or the agreement of traffic engineering, so fast reroute techniques is same being suitable for.If what the network equipment adopted is the architecture of distribution switch type equally, the fast detecting of forwarding engine state needs equally.
At present, the method that forwarding engine state is carried out fast detecting mainly contains following two kinds:
1, finishes by route processing/management system.
Route processing/management system initiatively reports the mode of interruption to detect the interface board fault by timing inquiry or response interface plate, and after detecting the generation of interface board fault, notifies other interface boards.
This method can cause the time of fault detect to surpass the time that service protection requires because the path that message is transmitted is long.With the forwarding engine fault is example, transmit the state that support section need regularly detect forwarding engine, after finding the forwarding engine fault, send out message to route processing/management system, route processing/management system reseting interface plate, and adopt and be with interior broadcast mode to notify other interface boards the most rapidly, the time of this process consumption is intolerable.
2, directly circulate a notice of state information between each forwarding engine by the hardware line.
This method makes forwarding engine failure detection time weak point, the reliability height, and still, this method has increased the hardware cabling, has taken the relevant hardware pin, makes the hardware designs complexity.

To step 710, forwarding engine m constructs control frame, and broadcast transmission.
To step 720, forwarding engine m begins to detect the process of other n-1 forwarding engine state.The count value that forwarding engine will not carry out a counter of following step 730 processing increases predetermined step-length, as increases by 1.
To step 730, forwarding engine m judges the count value that has just increased after the predetermined step-length, judge whether this count value surpasses predetermined threshold, if surpass predetermined threshold to step 731, bit among the bitmap of this counter correspondence is set to failure state value, as bit corresponding among the bitmap is put 1.Then, to step 740.
In step 730,, directly arrive step 740 if the count value of this counter is no more than predetermined threshold.
In step 740, forwarding engine m judges whether all counters that are provided with in himself have all been carried out the processing of above-mentioned steps 720,730, if also there is the counter that does not pass through above-mentioned processing, then arrive step 741, never choose a counter, to step 720, with the predetermined step-length of count value increase of this counter through in the counter of above-mentioned processing, as increase by 1, to step 730.
In step 740, if all counters that are provided with among the forwarding engine m self have all carried out the processing of above-mentioned steps 720,730, then arrive step 750, this process that detects other forwarding engine state finishes.
Like this, be that the forwarding engine of 1 bit correspondence is the forwarding engine that is in malfunction among the bitmap of forwarding engine m.When detecting certain or some forwarding engines and be in malfunction, should start quick heavy-route process, to guarantee professional reliability.The present invention can detect the state of the port in this forwarding engine again when detecting forwarding engine and be in normal condition.
