MPLS multicast tree type.Its type has: set up the LSP of point to multiple spot and multiple spot to multiple spot through mLDP and RSVP-TE agreement; Through the IP multicast protocol, like PIM-SM, PIM-SSM etc., set up the IP multicast tree, further set up the MPLS multicast tree according to the IP multicast tree.
MPLS multicast tree identifier.The MPLS multicast identifier is used for identifying uniquely a MPLS multicast tree.
Nodal community.Its attribute comprises two kinds of Ingress node and Egress nodes.
Return attribute.It can comprise certain release cause, disappears like multicast source.
Describe below in the multicast application business module, to the function treatment of four interaction flows of the interface module between MPLS multicast module and the multicast application business module, its operating process respectively as follows:
When 1, the MPLS multicast tree set up and upgraded to the multicast application business module need, carry out multicast tree foundation and renewal to the request of MPLS multicast module through the interface module between MPLS multicast module and the multicast application business module;
2, after the multicast application business module is received the response of multicast tree, according to the information that the response of multicast tree is carried, do the professional further processing of multicast application, this processing is relevant with concrete multicast application business demand;
3, after the multicast application business module is received the withdrawal of multicast tree, according to the information that the withdrawal of multicast tree is carried, do the professional further processing of multicast application, this processing is relevant with concrete multicast application business demand;
4, the multicast application business module is being found because multicast source disappears or other reasons, and when no longer needing the MPLS multicast tree, carries out the release of multicast tree.
Describe below in the MPLS multicast module, to the function treatment of four interaction flows of the interface module between MPLS multicast module and the multicast application business module, its operating process respectively as follows:
1, through the interface module between MPLS multicast module and the multicast application business module, MPLS multicast module is received multicast tree request and renewal;
2, to MPLS multicast tree type; MPLS multicast module receives that the operation after the multicast tree request has nothing in common with each other, and present embodiment is that example is described with the P2MP LSP (Point-to-Multipoint LSP) of RSVP-TE foundation and the P2MP/MP2MP LSP (Point-to-Multipoint/Multipoint-to-Multipoint LSP) of LDP foundation;
The P2MP LSP that RSVP-TE sets up: after receiving the request of multicast tree and upgrading, the Ingress node triggers and sets up P2MP LSP, have only P2MP LSP to set up successfully after, ability is carried the response of the multicast tree of forwarding label information to the multicast application business module; The Egress node carries the response of the multicast tree of forwarding label information according to the corresponding LSP of P2MP LSP identifier match to the multicast application business module;
The P2MP/MP2MP LSP that LDP sets up: after receiving the request and renewal of multicast tree, the Ingress node carries the response of the multicast tree of forwarding label information to the multicast application business module; The Egress node triggers sets up P2MP/MP2MP LSP, have only P2MP/MP2MP LSP to set up successfully after, ability is carried the response of the multicast tree of forwarding label information to the multicast application business module;
3, MPLS multicast module is owing to setting up and when upgrading the failure of MPLS multicast tree or other reasons and needing MPLS multicast tree that withdrawal set up, carrying out the withdrawal of multicast tree to the multicast application business module;
4, the MPLS multicast module release of receiving multicast tree from the multicast application business module according to the information that the release of multicast tree is carried, is removed the MPLS multicast tree of having set up.
Provide some multiple spot and multiple spot to the multicast replication function of multiple spot through the MPLS multicast tree, can obtain the superior function of MPLS at aspects such as network quality assurance, traffic engineering, link protection and recoveries; Through using the interface module between MPLS multicast module and the multicast application business module, make MPLS multicast tree and multicast application business seamless combination, thereby satisfied the demand of multicast application business Network Transmission.
The above is merely embodiments of the invention, is not limited to the present invention, and for a person skilled in the art, the present invention can have various changes and variation.All within spirit of the present invention and principle, any modification of being done, be equal to replacement, improvement etc., all should be included within the claim scope of the present invention.
