Embodiment
Below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments, describe the present invention in detail.
As shown in Figure 1, the embodiment of the invention has proposed a kind of message mirror-image method of the MPLS of being used for network, may further comprise the steps:
Step S102 determines the destination address of monitored object;
Step S104 finds the local label value of the destination address correspondence of monitored object in MPLS transmits;
Step S106, with the message mirror that meets the local label value received to designated port.
Wherein, monitored object is the network equipment or the network segment.
Preferably, step S106 specifically comprises: the local label value is set to conditions mirror; Judge whether the message that receives meets conditions mirror; If then message mirror is arrived designated port.
Preferably, judge whether the message that receives meets conditions mirror and specifically comprise: the outermost layer label value that reads message; Judge whether the outermost layer label value equals the local label value in the conditions mirror; If determine that then the message that receives meets conditions mirror.
Preferably, if MPLS transmits renewal, the middle local label value of then upgrading of upgrading of transmitting is set to conditions mirror.
Preferably, this method also comprises: if message does not carry label value, judge then whether the purpose IP address in the message meets the destination address of monitored object; If then message mirror is arrived designated port.
Preferably, before step S106, this method also comprises: judge whether the message that receives is the MPLS message; If then carry out the message mirror that meets the local label value that to receive step to designated port.
Preferably, this method also comprises: if not the MPLS message, judge then whether the purpose IP address in the message meets the destination address of monitored object; If then message mirror is arrived designated port.
By this embodiment, after receiving MPLS label bag, can carry out mirror image based on label value, rather than abandon, the deep layer that does not also need to carry out is repeatedly searched.
Fig. 2 shows the application network structural representation according to the embodiment of the invention.The MPLS network traffics are made mirror image processing to the flow of needs monitoring on monitored device in the process that destination equipment sends.Monitored device needs correctly to receive and to handle the label bag that sends over from the MPLS network." flow destination " among the figure can be a network equipment, as server etc., also can be some network segments, as the network of certain enterprise." flow destination " not necessarily directly links to each other with monitored device, as long as there is the route of destination on the monitored device.
Fig. 3 shows the flow chart that conditions mirror is set according to the embodiment of the invention, may further comprise the steps:
Step S302, because monitored object of the present invention is the flow that mails to certain network or certain network equipment (server), so at first want the purpose IP address of specified data bag, i.e. the destination of monitored object, just " the flow destination " shown in Fig. 2.
Step S304 according to the purpose IP address of established data bag, need further search MPLS and transmit, and whether judgment device is that the FEC (Forwarding Equivalence Class, forwarding equivalence class) of this purpose route correspondence has distributed local label.
If corresponding MPLS label exists, illustrate that then packet may carry this label when entering this locality, enter step S306.Why say possibility, be because have the different network equipment through monitored device to this destination address transmitted traffic, to establish a capital be the MPLS neighbours of monitored device and these network equipments differ; If can not find, illustrate that the packet of receiving can not carry label certainly, enters step S308.
Step S306, if local label distributes, the conditions mirror at the MPLS packet just possesses so.
Next local label and the purpose IP address that finds all is recorded in the equipment as conditions mirror, both are relations of logic OR.
Need explanation, why under can satisfying to the condition of MPLS label bag mirror image still with the condition record of purpose IP address as mirror image, be because above already mentioned, have the different network equipment through monitored device to this destination address transmitted traffic, to establish a capital be the MPLS neighbours of monitored device and these network equipments differ.That is to say that the packet that not necessarily mails to this destination all can have tag head.
Step S308, if MPLS does not have local label in transmitting, with purpose IP address as conditions mirror.Because upstream equipment all need be announced label value ability binding tab by upstream device and send to this locality, so the packet of receiving is not a MPLS label bag, can not be with local MPLS label value as conditions mirror.For this class packet with purpose IP address as conditions mirror.
By this embodiment, the data of different types bag is provided with different conditions mirror, being provided with the local label value for the MPLS message is conditions mirror, does not need repeatedly deep layer to search the IP address or the first-class field of TCP of message.
Fig. 4 shows message mirror-image method flow chart in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, may further comprise the steps:
Step S402, after monitored device was received a packet, the type that at first will judge this packet was MPLS message or IP message.Be for further processing after judging type.
Step S404 if the packet of receiving is a MPLS label bag, then searches its outermost layer label value, judges whether this label value is included in the conditions mirror.
Step S406 if the packet of receiving is the IP bag, then searches its purpose IP address, judges whether this address is included in the conditions mirror.
Step S408 is no matter the type of data packet of receiving how, will judge all whether relevant parameter can satisfy conditions mirror, if can satisfy, then packet is mirrored to specified interface, if can not satisfy conditions mirror then do not do mirror image processing.
By this embodiment, can carry out mirror image to the data of different types bag of judging.Realize efficient forwarding for the MPLS message of receiving that satisfies conditions mirror, and then improved the forward efficiency of MPLS network.
About the setting of conditions mirror with the search procedure when transmitting, can further specify with the form of form.
Table 1
Index Purpose IP address The local label value
1 a.a.a.a X
2 b.b.b.b
With the Index in the table 11 is example, if an equipment, as server, used IP address is a.a.a.a, and the keeper wishes the flow that arrives it is monitored, and will all purpose IP addresses of mirror image be the packet of a.a.a.a so.If finding the corresponding local label value of a.a.a.a (or network segment of living in) in can transmitting at the MPLS of monitored device is X, so, just a.a.a.a and X are recorded in the conditions mirror form, what receive when monitored device is MPLS label bag, then in " local label value " row, search whether corresponding parameters is arranged, if the value that finds is X, then do tag processes; If what monitored device was received is the IP bag, then in " purpose IP address " row, search whether corresponding parameters is arranged, if the value that finds is a.a.a.a, do tag processes too.
For the Index in the table 12, if can not find out the local label value of b.b.b.b correspondence in the MPLS of monitored device transmits, can only write down purpose IP address so in the conditions mirror table is b.b.b.b.What only receive during forwarding accordingly, is not to be with the IP bag of MPLS label just to search whether corresponding parameters is arranged in " purpose IP address " row.
MPLS transmits and is not forever constant, when the MPLS process is restarted, after perhaps local routing table changes, all can redistribute local label.Therefore, former conditions mirror just needs to change.The process that changes is fairly simple, after local label is reallocated, only need issues again and gets final product.
Fig. 5 show according to the embodiment of the invention reset the conditions mirror flow chart, may further comprise the steps:
Step S502, MPLS transmit that to upgrade be to trigger the reason that conditions mirror changes, renewal may occur in that process is restarted or situation such as local routing table variation under.
Step S504 after MPLS transmits renewal, no matter whether newly assigned label value is the same, announces to forwarding plane.
Step S506 after the label value that forwarding plane upgrades, writes conditions mirror with new label value, covers content corresponding in original " local label value ".
In an embodiment of the present invention, also provide a kind of message mirror device of the MPLS of being used for network, having comprised: determination module is used for determining the destination address of monitored object; Search module, be used for transmitting the local label value of the destination address correspondence that finds monitored object at MPLS; The mirror image module, the message mirror that meets the local label value that is used for receiving is to designated port.
Preferably, the mirror image module specifically comprises: reading unit is used to read the outermost layer label value of message; Judging unit is used for judging whether the outermost layer label value equals the local label value of conditions mirror; Determining unit is if determine that then the message that receives meets the local label value.
This embodiment has provided the preferred structure of message mirror device.
