Description

Method and equipment for realizing trace routing
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of network communication technologies, and in particular, to a technical solution for implementing a traceroute operation in a communication network.
Background
With the development of MPLS (multiprotocol label switching) technology, it has been widely used in multicast. In the MPLS-based multicast scheme, a P2MP LSP (point-to-multipoint multi-protocol label switched path) may be established using RSVP-TE (resource reservation protocol-traffic engineering); alternatively, a P2MP LSP may be established using LDP (label distribution protocol).
To ensure the operational reliability of the P2MP LSP as the MPLS forwarding path, it is necessary to timely discover an error of the MPLS forwarding path. MPLS forwarding path errors may be detected and diagnosed using traceroute (traceroute) techniques.
Currently, the error detection and diagnosis process for traceroute for P2MP LSP includes:
(1) a root node of the P2MP LSP sends an MPLS echo request (MPLS reply request) message with TTL (time to live) of 1, and the message contains FEC (equivalent forwarding class) information corresponding to the P2MP LSP;
the root node encapsulates the MPLS echo request message into an MPLS packet corresponding to the FEC, and sends the MPLS packet, where the transport path of the encapsulated MPLS packet is the same as that of the MPLS multicast data packet.
(2) After receiving the MPLS echo request message, the downstream node carries out corresponding processing locally because the TTL value is 1, and sends an MPLS echo response message to the root node;
(3) after receiving each MPLS echo response message which should be received, the root node continues to send MPLS echo request messages with TTL of 2, the corresponding downstream nodes repeat the processing process after receiving the message, and so on, the TTL is added with 1 when the root node sends the MPLS echo request messages in each turn until receiving the MPLS echo response messages or the MPLSecho response messages replied by all the leaf nodes and overtime (namely, not receiving the returned MPLS echo response messages in the preset time);
(4) and the root node performs topology discovery and fault location operation according to the received MPLS echo response message.
It can be seen that, in the above processing procedure, when topology discovery or fault location is performed on the entire P2MP LSP tree from the root node, the root node needs to receive a large number of MPLS echo response messages, which will cause huge processing pressure to the root node, and therefore, a large bandwidth resource needs to be occupied in the process of routing tracing.
In order to solve the above problems to some extent, another implementation scheme of a trace route for topology discovery and fault location is provided in the prior art, where a corresponding processing procedure in the scheme includes:
(1) a root node sends an MPLS echo request message with TTL being N (N is a natural number more than or equal to 1), and the message contains a target leaf node list;
(2) when receiving the MPLS echo request message, the intermediate node checks whether the intermediate node is on a multicast forwarding path reaching a certain leaf node in the target leaf node list, if so, the intermediate node sends an MPLS echo response message to a root node, otherwise, the intermediate node does not respond to the MPLS echo response message to the root node;
in the step, because the response message is sent to the root node only by partial nodes which can reach a certain target leaf node, the number of the response messages received by the root node is reduced;
(3) and the root node performs topology discovery and fault location operation according to the received MPLS echo response message.
In the process of implementing the invention, the inventor finds that at least the following problems exist in the prior art:
although the processing scheme can reduce the number of response messages received by the root node, the processing scheme is only suitable for the P2MP TE LSP of which the intermediate node can acquire the topological structure of the whole tree, and for the P2MP LDP LSP of which the intermediate node cannot acquire the topological structure of the whole tree, the intermediate node cannot judge whether the intermediate node reaches a multicast forwarding path where a certain target node is located, so that the scheme cannot be applied to realize the operation of tracing the route;
in addition, in this scheme, the root node still receives a large number of response messages, resulting in a large bandwidth occupation of the traceroute process.

Detailed Description
The embodiment of the present invention is used for performing a traceroute operation on a tree including a start node (which may be a root node of the tree or an intermediate node of the tree, etc.), an intermediate node, and a leaf node, where the tree may be a P2MP LSP tree based on MPLS, or may also be a tree based on another protocol.
The implementation scheme that can be specifically adopted in the trace routing operation process provided by the embodiment of the invention comprises the following steps:
(1) the initial node sends a request message of tracing the route;
for example, in the P2MP LSP tree, in the processing process, in order to enable the next node to process the received request packet, the TTL value in the request packet may be set to 1;
(2) after receiving the request message, the intermediate node returns a response message to the previous-level node and processes and forwards the request message to the next-level node until the request message reaches a leaf node; in addition, after receiving the request message, the intermediate node can also forward the request message to the next-level node first and then return a response message to the previous-level node;
in the processing procedure, the response message may include, but is not limited to: a response message for notifying that the path is normal or a response message for notifying that the path is wrong;
in the processing procedure, the specifically adopted operation for processing the request packet may specifically include, but is not limited to: modifying the source address of the request message into the node; or modifying the source address of the request message into the node, and adding the node information into the request message.
(3) The upper-level node realizes the operation of tracking the route according to the condition of receiving the response message;
the treatment process may specifically be: the node judges whether a response message returned by the next-level node is received, if the response message for announcing the path is normal is received, the forwarding path between the node and the next-level node is determined to be normal, if the response message for announcing the path error is received or the response message is not received, the forwarding path between the node and the next-level node is determined to be abnormal, and the initial node is directly informed of the abnormality.
In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to enable the starting node of the multicast tree to collect the topology information of the whole forwarding path, after the leaf node receives the request packet, the topology information of the whole forwarding path from the starting node to the leaf node, which is obtained by the leaf node, can be sent to the starting node through the response packet; or, the leaf node may also judge whether an indication for sending a response packet to the start node is set in the request packet, if so, send the topology information of the whole forwarding path from the start node to the leaf node to the start node through the response packet, otherwise, not send the topology information.
The embodiment of the present invention further provides another implementation scheme for trace routing, which is used to perform a trace routing operation of collecting topology information on a tree including a start node (for example, a root node or an intermediate node of the tree), an intermediate node, and a leaf node, so that the root node or the intermediate node of the tree, which is used as the start node, can collect corresponding topology information, and the implementation scheme specifically includes: firstly, an initial node sends a request message for tracing a route, and after an intermediate node receives the request message, the intermediate node adds the node information into the request message and sets TTL to be 1, and then continuously forwards the request message until the request message reaches a leaf node; then, the leaf node directly returns a response message to the initial node according to the received request message, wherein the response message carries topology information of the whole forwarding path from the initial node to the leaf node; finally, at the start node, it can implement the operation of tracing the route according to the received topology information carried in the response message directly returned by the leaf node, and complete the operation of collecting the topology information.
It can be seen that, if the implementation schemes of the embodiments of the present invention are applied to a P2MPLS tree based on MPLS, the starting node may not be impacted by the MPLS echo response message any more in the process of finding the topology of the whole MPLS P2MP LSP and performing the trace routing operation for locating a fault, that is, the number of MPLS echo response messages received by the starting node does not exceed the number of nodes downstream of the starting node.
For the purpose of facilitating an understanding of the embodiments of the present invention, a detailed description will be given below of specific implementations of the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The implementation process of traceroute for MPLS P2MP LSP provided in the embodiment of the present invention is shown in fig. 1, and may specifically include:
step 1, a root node sends an MPLS echo request message with TTL of 1 to a downstream node;
after receiving the MPLS echo response message, the MPLS echo response message does not send an MPLSecho req uest message with TTL of 2;
the MPLS echo request packet sent by the root node reaches the leaf node after being processed by one or more downstream nodes, and each downstream node needs to perform substantially the same processing on the MPLS echo request packet, and the processing of the downstream node will be described below:
step 2, when the downstream node receives the MPLS echo request message with TTL of 1, the message is correspondingly checked and processed to verify the correctness of the multicast forwarding path between the downstream node and the upstream node, and then the MPLS echo response message is sent to the upstream node;
the upstream node may be a root node, or may also be an intermediate node or a Bud LSR (which is a label switch router of a leaf node and an intermediate node); if the downstream node receives the MPLS echo request message sent by the root node, the corresponding upstream node is the root node, otherwise, the corresponding upstream node is an intermediate node;
step 3, after the downstream node processes the received MPLS echo request message correspondingly, the downstream node continues to send the message to the downstream node from the data channel receiving the message;
in this step, the corresponding processing may mainly include: setting TTL in the message to be 1, modifying the message source address to be the node, adding the node into the message and the like;
similarly, after receiving the MPLS echo response message, the downstream node does not send an MPLS echo request message with TTL of 2;
step 4, after the downstream node sends the MPLS echo request message, judging whether the forwarding path has a fault according to whether the MPLS echo response message is received or not;
the method specifically comprises the following steps: if the downstream node does not receive the MPLS echo response message or receives the MPLS echo response message announcing the error, the downstream node determines that the forwarding path between the two nodes has the fault and directly sends an error announcement message to the root node so as to announce the fault reason and position to the root node.
In the above processing procedure, when the downstream node is a leaf node, the MPLSecho request message is not sent any more. After receiving the MPLS echo request message, the leaf node performs corresponding processing according to whether the leaf node set when the root node performs traceroute responds to the message option, which may specifically be: if a response indication (namely an indication for sending a response message to the root node) is set, the leaf node copies the content of the MPLS echo request message to an MPLS echo response message and then sends the MPLS echo response message back to the root node, so that the root node can obtain various information from the messages received by each leaf node, for example, the topological structure information of the whole forwarding path from the root node to the leaf node, the information of whether the leaf node exists or not, and the like; otherwise, namely the root node sets the non-response message, the leaf node does not need to send the topology information to the root node.
When a certain node is a bus LSR, the specific operation of the node is basically the same as that of the intermediate LSR, and the only difference is that the bus LSR needs to set the address as the label of the bus LSR when adding itself into the MPLS echo request message. The root node may know that it is a Bud LSR when it is processing topology information.
After the above processing procedure, the root node can implement the operation of tracing the route according to the content in the message received by itself, for example, collecting the topology structure of the tree, judging the fault location, etc.
The following describes an implementation process of a specific application example of the embodiment of the present invention.
Example one
In this embodiment, a process of collecting topology information of the entire MPLS P2MP LSP by tracing the route is provided, and the topology structure of the entire MPLS P2MP LSP tree is shown in fig. 2. In fig. 2, the MPLS P2MP LSP includes: root node Root, intermediate node LSR1, intermediate node LSR2, leaf node LSR3, leaf node LSR4, and leaf node LSR 5.
Referring to fig. 2, the corresponding process for collecting the P2MP LSP topology information specifically includes the following steps:
step 1, a Root node sends MPLS echo request information with TTL value of 1 to downstream nodes LSR1 and LSR 2;
the Root node sets a flag of a leaf node response message in the MPLS echo request message, and the leaf node needs to respond to the Root node with the message to transmit information of each node.
Step 2, after receiving the MPLS echo request message, the LSR1 node and the LSR2 node perform corresponding check on the forwarding path corresponding to the FEC indicated in the message, and then the LSR1 node and the LSR2 node respectively send MPLS echo response messages to the Root node as response messages;
the Root node receives MPLS echo response messages from an LSR1 node and an LSR2 node respectively, and does not send the MPLS echo request message with the TTL value of 2;
step 3, the LSR1 node and the LSR2 node process the received MPLS echo request message and then continue to forward the message to the next node
Wherein the processing comprises: the TTL in the message is set to be 1, the message source address is modified to be the node, the local node is added into the message, and the like, and then the LSR1 node and the LSR2 node send the processed message to the respective downstream nodes LSR3, LSR4 and LSR 5.
Step 4, after receiving the MPLS echo request message, the downstream nodes LSR3, LSR4, and LSR5 perform corresponding check on the forwarding path corresponding to the FEC indicated in the message, and then respectively send MPLS echo response messages to the LSR1 node and the LSR2 node as responses;
when receiving the MPLS echo response messages from LSR3, LSR4 and LSR5 respectively, the LSR1 node and LSR2 node do not send the MPLS echo request message with TTL value of 2;
step 5, the LSR3, the LSR4 and the LSR5 process the received MPLS echo request message and send a response message to the root node;
specifically, since the flag of the leaf node response packet is already set in the MPLS echo request packet in step 1, the MPLS echo request packet needs to be processed in this step, and the corresponding processing may include, but is not limited to: setting TTL to 225, modifying message source address to be the node, adding the node into the message, and the like, and then sending the processed MPLS echo request message to the root node;
and 6, after receiving the MPLS echo request message sent by the leaf node, the Root node can obtain the topology information of the whole MPLS P2MP LSP according to the information in the message.
Example two
In this embodiment, the entire process of diagnosing the MPLS P2MP LSP failure point by tracing the route is provided, and in this embodiment, it is assumed that the MPLS P2MP LSP is already known to be problematic by MPLS P2MP Ping (MPLS point-to-multipoint lookup) or other means.
As shown in fig. 3, MPLS P2MP LSP includes: root node Root, intermediate node LSR1, intermediate node LSR2, leaf node LSR3, leaf node LSR4, and leaf node LSR 5. Referring to fig. 3, the process of diagnosing the MPLS P2MP LSP failure point for the topology of the entire MPLS P2MP LSP tree may specifically include:
step 1, a Root node sends an MPLS echo request message with TTL value of 1 to a downstream node;
the flag of the leaf node reply message is not set in the messages sent to the downstream nodes LSR1 and LSR 2.
Step 2, after receiving the MPLS echo request message, LSR1 and LSR2 perform corresponding check on the forwarding path corresponding to the FEC indicated in the message, and respectively send MPLSecho response messages to the Root node as responses returned to the Root node;
when the Root node receives MPLS echo response messages respectively from LSR1 and LSR2, the Root node does not send the MPLS echo request message with TTL value of 2;
step 3, the LSR1 node and the LSR2 node process the received MPLS echo request message and continue to forward the processed MPLS echo request message to the next-level node;
wherein, the treatment can include but is not limited to: setting TTL in the message to 1, modifying the message source address to the node, adding the node into the message, and the like, and then sending the processed message to the respective downstream nodes LSR3, LSR4 and LSR5 by the LSR1 node and the LSR2 node.
Step 4, after receiving the MPLS echo request messages, LSR3 and LSR5 perform corresponding check operations on forwarding paths corresponding to FEC indicated in the messages, and then send MPLS echo response messages to LSR1 and LSR2 nodes, respectively, as responses returned to LSR1 and LSR2 nodes;
when receiving MPLS echo messages from LSR3 and LSR5, LSR1 and LSR2 do not send MPLS echo request messages with TTL value of 2;
step 5, LSRs 3 and 5 perform some processing on the received MPLS echo request message, including: and setting TTL to be 1, changing the message source address into the TTL, adding the TTL into the message, and the like. Since LSRs 3 and 5 are leaf nodes, they do not send path information packets to the root node according to the flag bits set in the packets.
In the process of executing the above step 4 and step 5, because a forwarding path from the LSR1 node to the LSR4 node has a problem, the LSR1 node cannot reach the LSR4 node with the MPLS echo request packet sent to the LSR4 node (but the LSR1 node does not know whether the packet reaches the LSR4 node). The LSR4 node does not perform the operations of steps 4 and 5 described above because the LSR4 node does not receive the MPLS echo request packet sent by the LSR1 node. This makes the LSR1 node unable to receive the MPLS echo response message from the egress interface to the LSR4 node for a long time, so that the LSR1 node needs to send the MPLS echo response message to the Root node to report the path error information.
The embodiment of the present invention also provides node devices that can be used as a root node and other start nodes and intermediate nodes, and the following will respectively describe specific implementation structures of the two node devices.
Fig. 4 shows a specific implementation structure of a node device that may be used as an intermediate node, which may specifically include the following processing units:
(1) the message receiving unit is used for receiving a request message sent by a previous-level node and receiving a response message sent by a next-level node;
(2) a request message processing unit, configured to return a response message to the previous-stage node after the message receiving unit receives the request message, and further process and forward the request message to the next-stage node, where the process may be to modify a source address of the request message to be the local node, add information of the local node in the request message, and so on;
(3) a trace route operation unit, configured to implement a trace route operation according to a condition that the message receiving unit receives the response message, where the condition includes a condition that the response message is received and a condition that the response message is not received, and the received response message may be a response message for notifying a path error or a response message for notifying a path normal;
further, the traceroute operation unit may specifically include:
the judging and processing unit is used for judging whether a response message returned by the next-stage node is received or not so as to carry out corresponding path detection operation according to a judgment result;
a path detection unit, configured to obtain a determination result of the determination processing unit, determine that a forwarding path between the node and a next-level node is normal if the determination result is that a response packet for notifying that the path is normal is received, and determine that the forwarding path between the node and the next-level node is abnormal if the determination result is that a response packet for notifying that the path is wrong is received or no response packet is received;
and the exception notification unit is used for directly notifying the exception to the starting node after the path detection unit determines that the forwarding path is abnormal, so that the starting node can know the failure condition of the forwarding path in the tree.
Fig. 5 shows a specific implementation structure of a node device that can be used as a start node, which specifically includes the following processing units:
(1) a request message sending unit, configured to send a request message to a next-stage node, where in order to enable the next-stage node to process the request message, a TTL value in the request message may be set to 1;
(2) a response message receiving unit, configured to receive a response message sent by a next-stage node or an intermediate node or a leaf node that determines that a forwarding path is abnormal;
(3) the trace route operation unit is used for realizing the trace route operation according to the condition that the response message receiving unit receives the response message;
further, the traceroute operation unit may specifically include at least one of the following units:
the full-tree path detection unit is used for judging whether each forwarding path of the whole tree is abnormal according to the condition of a response message returned by the next-level node or the intermediate node for determining that the forwarding path is abnormal, which is received by the response message receiving unit; for example, if an application message returned by a next-level node is not received or a response message for notifying a path error returned by the next-level node is received, it is determined that a forwarding path between the starting node and the next-level node is abnormal; for another example, if a response message returned by the intermediate node that determines that the forwarding path is abnormal is received, it may be determined that the forwarding path indicated in the response message is abnormal, and if a response message returned by the intermediate node that determines that the path is abnormal is not received, it is considered that the forwarding path of each downstream node is normal;
and the topology information collection unit is used for determining the topology information of the whole forwarding path from the starting node to the leaf node according to the information carried in the response message returned by the leaf node received by the response message receiving unit.
In the node device that may be an originating node, an indication information sending unit may be further included, configured to send, to the leaf node, an indication that requires the leaf node to send a response packet to the originating node (the indication may be carried in the request packet and sent to the leaf node), so that the leaf node returns, to the originating node, a response packet that includes topology information of an entire forwarding path from the originating node to the leaf node according to the indication.
In summary, when the traceroute scheme proposed by the embodiment of the present invention is used to find the topology of the multicast tree and perform positioning failure, the whole processing process does not cause the impact of the MPLS echo response message to the start node and the intermediate node such as the root node (that is, the number of MPLS echo response messages received by each node is not greater than the number of the downstream nodes), thereby reducing the burden of the start node and the intermediate node such as the root node and reducing the bandwidth resources occupied in the corresponding processing process.
The above description is only for the preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope of the present invention are included in the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
