Embodiment
The present invention is by increasing the information of coming the relays link state alternately of interlayer communication primitive message between L2 and L3 layer, thereby reaches between the two the purpose that the information about Link State is consistent.
According to the direction and in proper order different of primitive interacting message, the present invention provides two kinds of methods, and these two kinds of method principles are consistent, are exactly regular interacting message.
The first method that the present invention proposes is: regularly send a message indication L2_StatusInd to the L3 layer by the L2 layer, up-to-date link-state information is informed the L3 layer, the L3 layer upgrades relevant information, the L3 layer is replied acknowledge message L2_StatusCfm of L2 layer after handling this message, the renewal of information has been finished in expression.Message indication L2_StatusInd and acknowledge message L2_StatusCfm can define voluntarily, and no reference format, L2_StatusInd only need comprise the corresponding link state information, and be just passable as long as L2_StatusCfm reaches the affirmation effect.
If the L2 layer was received the L2_StatusCfm message that the L3 layer is replied before sending L2_StatusInd message next time, just think this interacting message success, otherwise think this interacting message failure.
Expression L2 layer this moment and L3 interlayer communication are normal if above-mentioned interacting message is successful, the Link State unanimity; If (the concrete numerical value of fixed time and predetermined number of times can be determined by system the number of times of the mutual failure of continuous meassage greater than a predetermined number of times in the fixed time; number of times can be decided as the case may be; generally should be more than 2 times); such as continuous interacting message failure more than 2 times in the fixed time; think that then L2 layer and L3 interlayer communication are unusual; this moment, the L2 layer can be informed these abnormal conditions layer pipe LM (LayerManager); do further processing by layer pipe, unusual back L2 layer takes place receive successfully that once more L2_StatusCfm message then thinks abnormal restoring.Interacting message as shown in Figure 6.
The second method that the present invention proposes is: regularly send a request message L2_StatusReq to the L2 layer by the L3 layer, the state information of request inquiry link, the L2 layer is replied an acknowledge message L2_StatusAck to the L3 layer after having inquired about Link State, up-to-date link-state information is informed the L3 layer, and the L3 layer is according to the corresponding information of this information updating.Message request L2_StatusReq can define voluntarily, and no reference format is as long as play the function of link-state information inquiry.Acknowledge message L2_StatusAck can define voluntarily, and no reference format is as long as comprise link-state information.
If the L3 layer received L2_StatusAck message that the L2 layer is replied and just think this interacting message success before sending L2_StatusReq message next time, otherwise think this interacting message failure;
Expression L2 layer this moment and L3 interlayer communication are normal if above-mentioned interacting message is successful, the Link State unanimity; If (the concrete numerical value of fixed time and predetermined number of times can be determined by system the number of times of the mutual failure of continuous meassage greater than a predetermined number of times in the fixed time; number of times can be decided as the case may be; generally should be more than 2 times); such as continuous interacting message failure more than 2 times in the fixed time; think that then L2 layer and L3 interlayer communication are unusual; this moment, the L3 layer can be informed these abnormal conditions layer pipe LM; do further processing by layer pipe, unusual back L3 layer takes place receive successfully that once more L2_StatusAck message then thinks abnormal restoring.Interacting message as shown in Figure 7.
Above-mentioned described method is applicable to the protocol stack that different L2 layer protocols is formed: such as the L2 layer is the MTP2 protocol entity, as shown in Figure 2; Or the L2 layer is the M2PA protocol entity, as shown in Figure 3; Or the L2 layer is the SSCS protocol entity, as shown in Figure 4.
Need to prove, title, the form of above-mentioned said message indication, message request and acknowledge message are not limited to L2_StatusInd, L2_StatusCfm, L2_StatusReq and L2_StatusAck among the present invention, the above-mentioned purpose that is useful on all belong to scope of the present invention.
Realization is depended in the setting that regularly sends the timer duration of using in the above-mentioned detection method, but it should be noted that the classical group fidonetFido stack that to consider as Fig. 1, also to consider M2UA (Signaling System 7Message Transfer Part 2-User Adaptation Layer as Fig. 5, No.7 signaling information transmitting portions second level user adaptation layer) strides IP (Internet Protocol, internet protocol) net is made the networking protocol stack of transparent transmission, and this moment, the transmission duration president of data was a little.
Above-mentioned is that the basic method that proposes is applicable to that equally also use M2UA entity comes adaptive situation between L2 layer and the L3 layer with Fig. 1, as shown in Figure 5, mainly uses this moment the transparent transmission effect of M2UA that the primitive message of mentioning in the top described method is carried out transparent transmission.
