Wherein, first node is also referred to as first node, and Section Point is also referred to as end-node.First network and second network are two heterogeneous networks in multilayer or the multiple-domain network.When two nodes in first network directly do not have direct link to link to each other; The connection that provides through second network links to each other; Second network can provide connection for any two nodes in first network, and two nodes in first network can form adjacency through this connection between two nodes of this first network.First network such as client side network, second network is like service survey grid network.The link attribute information of FA-LSP specifically can comprise one or more in the information of all expression link attributes such as the time delay, SRLG information of link.

Node in second network is after FA-LSP sets up completion; Can be according to this second network of network topology information and FA-LSP; Generate the link attribute information of FA-LSP; And initiatively send to first node or the Section Point in first network, realized the automatic configuration of link attribute information, do not need artificial from second network inquiry link attribute information and being configured on the node in first network; Thereby improved the configuration speed and the efficient of link attribute information, and the mistake of having avoided the link attribute information of artificial configuration FA-LSP to cause.

As shown in Figure 1, be the flow chart of the embodiment of collocation method of link attribute information of the present invention, it may further comprise the steps:

Step 101, the first node in first network ingress in second network sends the request of obtaining, and this request of obtaining is used to obtain the link attribute information of FA-LSP, and first node in first network and end-node are through the FA-LSP adjacency.

Particularly, the first node in first network can be carried on the request of obtaining in path request (Path) message and send to the ingress in second network.

Step 102, first node receive the link attribute information of the FA-LSP that ingress or egress in second network return.

Particularly; The ingress that first node can receive in second network is replied (Reservation through notice (notify) message or path; Hereinafter to be referred as the Resv) link attribute information of the FA-LSP of message bearing, from notify message or Resv message, parse the link attribute information of FA-LSP, perhaps; The egress that receives in second network passes through the link attribute information of the FA-LSP of notify message bearing, and parses the link attribute information of FA-LSP in the notify message.

For two-way FA-LSP, the end-node in the first network also egress in second network is sent the request of obtaining of the link attribute information be used to obtain FA-LSP, and receives the link attribute information of the FA-LSP that ingress or egress in second network return.Particularly; End-node in first network can be sent the request of obtaining through the egress of Resv message in second network; And receive ingress in second network through notify message, or the link attribute information of the FA-LSP that returns through notify message or Resv message of egress.In following examples of the present invention, the link attribute information that the request of obtaining that also will be used to obtain the link attribute information of FA-LSP is called FA-LSP obtains request.

As shown in Figure 2, be the flow chart of another embodiment of collocation method of link attribute information of the present invention, it may further comprise the steps:

Step 201, the ingress in second network receive the request of obtaining that the first node in first network sends, and this request of obtaining is used to obtain the link attribute information of FA-LSP, and first node in first network and end-node are through the FA-LSP adjacency.

Particularly, the ingress in second network can receive the Path message that the first node in first network sends, and the link attribute information that from this Path message, parses FA-LSP obtains request.

Step 202, ingress generate the link attribute information of FA-LSP, and send to the first node in first network according to second network of network topology information and the FA-LSP, make first node and end-node in first network carry out adjacency through FA-LSP.

Particularly, ingress can be according to second network of network topology information and the FA-LSP, generates notify message or Resv message, and the link attribute information of FA-LSP is carried on this notify message or Resv message sends to first node.

Accordingly, for two-way FA-LSP, the link attribute information that the egress in second network also receives the FA-LSP of the end-node transmission in first network obtains request, and the end-node in first network is sent the link attribute information of FA-LSP.Particularly; The link attribute information of end-node through the FA-LSP of Resv message bearing that egress in second network can receive in first network obtains request; From Resv message, parse this and obtain request, and the link attribute information of the FA-LSP that generates is carried on notify message or Resv message sends to the end-node in first network.

As shown in Figure 3, be a kind of application scenarios networking structure sketch map of the embodiment of the invention, this embodiment comprises client side network 1 and serve side network 2.Wherein, client side network 1 can be used as first network of the embodiment of the invention, and serve side network 2 can be used as second network of the embodiment of the invention.Client side network 1 is made up of with client side the 3rd node 13 client side first node 11, client side Section Point 12.Serve side network 2 is made up of with serve side the 3rd node 23 serve side first node 21, serve side Section Point 22.All be provided with interface on each node, the interface on the client side first node 11 is K and A, and the interface on the client side Section Point 12 is B and N, and the interface on client side the 3rd node 13 is L and M; Interface on the serve side first node 21 is C, G and E; Interface on the serve side Section Point 22 is F, J and D, and the interface on serve side the 3rd node 23 is H and I.Can the interface between two nodes be coupled together through link.In one embodiment of the invention; In the client side network 1; Client side first node 11 and client side the 3rd node 13; And between client side Section Point 12 and client side the 3rd node 13, all there is direct link to link to each other the FA-LSP adjacency that provides through serve side network 2 between client side first node 11 and the client side Section Point 12.

Each network can move Routing Protocol, for example: the ospf of band traffic engineering (Open the Shortest Path First with TE, hereinafter to be referred as: OSPF-TE) agreement, come publisher node and link information.In this way, each node in the network can obtain the link information of all nodes in each automatic network.For example: client side first node 11 can be through link information of Routing Protocol issue to client side Section Point 12, and this end interface of link is K, and remote interface is L, and information such as total bandwidth, remaining bandwidth; Serve side first node 21 can be through link information of Routing Protocol issue to serve side Section Point 22, and this end interface of link is E, and remote interface is F, and length is n rice, and SRLG information is (1,2).

Client side first node 11 can be through continuous signaling pattern or nested/splicing signaling mode foundation with the FA-LSP between the client side Section Point 12.FA-LSP can be calculated by the serve side ingress in the path of serve side; For example: calculate by serve side first node 21; Also can calculate, suppose that the serve side path that calculates is serve side first node 21 → serve side the 3rd node 23 → serve side Section Point 22 by path computation service device centralized in the serve side ingress request network.If adopt the continuous signaling pattern, then only there is a LSP between client side first node 11 and the client side Section Point 12, promptly above-mentioned FA-LSP, the path is A → C → G → H → I → J → D → B.If adopt nested/splicing signaling mode, the tunnel that then can set up serve side first node 21 → serve side Section Point 22 earlier carries FA-LSP, after completion is set up in the tunnel, continues to set up FA-LSP again.At this moment, have two LSP between client side first node 11 and the client side Section Point 12: one is FA-LSP, and the path is A → C → tunnel → D → B, and another is the tunnel LSP that belongs to serve side network 2 fully, and the path is G → H → I → J.Ingress in the serve side network obtains after the path of serve side, just just can set up being connected between client side first node 11 and the client side Section Point 12 according to this path.

Respectively with client side first node 11 and client side Section Point 12 as first, end-node, with serve side first node 21 and serve side Section Point 22 as go into, egress.Suppose that FA-LSP is serve side first node 21 (G) → serve side the 3rd node 23 (H) → serve side the 3rd node 23 (I) → serve side Section Point 22 (J) in the path of serve side.To set up two-way FA-LSP through the continuous signaling pattern is example, and the flow chart of an application implementation example of the collocation method of link attribute information of the present invention is as shown in Figure 4, and it may further comprise the steps:

Step 301; Client side first node 11 sends Path message to serve side first node 21; Request is established to the connection of client side Section Point 12, this Path message bearing the link attribute information of FA-LSP obtain request, the link attribute information of acquisition request FA-LSP.

Particularly; RSVP (Resource Reservation Protocol with TE that can the expansion bands traffic engineering; Hereinafter to be referred as the notice request RSVP-TE) (Notify Request) object, be used in reference to and be shown in indication in the signaling message (for example: Path message, Resv message, Notify message) and return link attribute informations such as the time delay of FA-LSP, SRLG.Can be respectively at Internet protocol (Internet Protocol; Hereinafter to be referred as: IP) the 4th edition (hereinafter to be referred as: IPv4) with sixth version (hereinafter to be referred as: increase an attribute field in Notify Request object IPv6); SRLG information is returned in S flag bit setting through in the attribute field, through the T flag bit in the attribute field return time delay information is set, in addition; Can also be provided with other flag bit in the attribute field, be used to return other link attribute information.Further, can also in attribute field, be provided for carrying out the F flag bit of fault notification.Can be provided with in advance, be 1 o'clock at flag bit, need return the node that relevant parameter information is given the address field appointment in the Notify Request object.

With shown in the table 2, be respectively a concrete form instance of the Notify Request object after the expansion among the IPv4 like following table 1.

The form of table 1 IPv4Notify Request object

The form of table 2 IPv6Notify Request object

Step 302; After serve side first node 21 receives Path message; The link attribute information that from Path message, parses FA-LSP obtains request, the serve side path of calculating according to serve side first node 21 or path computation service device fill in route display object (Explicit Route Object, hereinafter to be referred as: ERO): { serve side first node 21; Serve side the 3rd node 23; Serve side Section Point 22}, and the filling records routing object (Record Route Object, hereinafter to be referred as: RRO); The link index of serve side first node 21 (G) is write RRO, this ERO and RRO are write send to serve side the 3rd node 23 in the Path message then.Path message will transmit to downstream node along the route of appointment until outlet client side Section Point 22.In this step, serve side first node 21 can remove Notify Request object.

Step 303 after serve side the 3rd node 23 receives Path message, connects according to ERO, and the link index of serve side the 3rd node 23 (I) is write RRO, then treated Path message is sent to serve side Section Point 22.

Step 304; After serve side Section Point 22 receives Path message, from RRO, obtain the routing information of the FA-LSP of record, also promptly: FA-LSP; The process of the routing information of the FA-LSP of record also promptly generates the process of FA-LSP; Because the routing information in the heterogeneous networks needs to maintain secrecy each other, from Path message, remove the serve side routing information among the RRO, then Path message is sent to client side Section Point 12.

Step 305 after client side Section Point 12 receives Path message, is returned Resv message to serve side Section Point 22, this Resv message bearing the link attribute information of FA-LSP obtain request, the link attribute information of acquisition request FA-LSP.

Step 306, serve side Section Point 22 is filled in RRO after receiving Resv message, and this RRO write sends to serve side the 3rd node 23 in the Resv message; In addition,, generate the link attribute informations such as time delay, SRLG of FA-LSP, and this link attribute information is carried on sends to client side Section Point 12 in the Notify message according to the FA-LSP of record and the network topological information of serve side network 2 of storage in advance.Client side Section Point 12 can be stored this link attribute information, uses in order to follow-up selection LSP.Serve side first node 21 can remove Notify Request object in this step.

Particularly; Can increase a forwarding adjacency parameter (Forwarding Adjacency Parameter; Hereinafter to be referred as: object FA Parameter) is used for indication and passes through link attribute informations such as the time delay of signaling message (for example: Path message, Resv message, Notify message) carrying FA-LSP, SRLG.With shown in the table 4, be respectively a concrete form instance of time delay FA Parameter object and SRLGFA Parameter object like following table 3.

The form of table 3 time delay FA Parameter object

The form of table 4 SRLG FA Parameter object

Step 307 after serve side the 3rd node 23 receives Resv message, is filled in RRO, and this RRO write sends to serve side first node 21 in the Resv message.

Step 308 after serve side first node 21 receives Resv message, because the routing information in the heterogeneous networks needs to maintain secrecy each other, is removed the serve side routing information among the RRO from Resv message, then Resv message is sent to client side first node 11; In addition; Serve side first node 21 is also according to the network topological information of the FA-LSP of record with the serve side network of storing in advance 2; Generate the link attribute informations such as time delay, SRLG of FA-LSP, and this link attribute information is carried on sends to client side first node 11 in the Notify message.Client side first node 11 can parse this link attribute information and storage from Notify message, use in order to follow-up selection LSP.

In addition; Serve side first node 21 also can be with according to the FA-LSP of record and the network topological information of serve side network 2 of storage in advance; Generate the link attribute information such as time delay, SRLG of FA-LSP and be carried in the Resv message of removing behind the RRO; Through Resv message link attribute informations such as the time delay of FA-LSP, SRLG are sent to client side first node 11; From Resv message, parse the link attribute informations such as time delay, SRLG of FA-LSP by client side first node 11, and waiting link attribute information and sending to client side first node 11 through Notify message bearing FA-LSP separately not.

In step 306 and the step 308; Serve side first node 21 and serve side Section Point 22 can adopt following method specifically to generate the link attribute informations such as time delay, SRLG of FA-LSP: if each node comprises the length or the link attribute informations such as time delay, SRLG of respective link in the serve side network 2 in the link information of issue; The link attribute information that comprises in the link information that then network topological information of serve side first node 21 and serve side Section Point 22 serve side networks 2 and each node are issued comes the link attribute informations such as time delay, SRLG of calculation services side path; If each node does not comprise the link attribute information of respective link in the serve side network 2 when the issue link information; Then serve side first node 21 can use signaling to collect the link attribute information of every link in the serve side path with serve side Section Point 22; For example: when using RRO record serve side node interface information; To also be recorded among the RRO with length or the link attribute informations such as time delay, SRLG of this interface, so just can obtain the link attribute information such as time delay, SRLG in serve side whole piece path as the index respective links.

If serve side network 2 breaks down; For example: the link between serve side the 3rd node 23 and the serve side Section Point 22 has broken, and then serve side the 3rd node 23 or serve side Section Point 22 can use first node client side first node 11 these FA-LSP faults of signaling FA-LSP.Client side first node 11 is initiated signaling procedures to serve side first node 21 again, that is: execution in step 301, and this FA-LSP of heavy-route can use the resource of original FA-LSP as far as possible in the process of heavy-route.Serve side first node 21 recomputates the serve side path after receiving this Path message, according to this FA-LSP of serve side new route heavy-route that recalculates, and uses RRO object record new route information.After heavy-route is accomplished, utilize the Notify message informing again as the client side first node 11 of FA-LSP two end nodes and the link attribute information of client side Section Point 12 these new FA-LSP.After client side first node 11 receives the link attribute information of this new FA-LSP with client side Section Point 12, can delete the link attribute information of the FA-LSP that link failure occurs.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 4; Serve side first node 21 by as serve side network 2 ingress is notified the link attribute information as client side first node 11 these FA-LSP of the first node of FA-LSP, by the link attribute information of notifying as client side Section Point 12 these FA-LSP of FA-LSP end-node as the serve side Section Point 22 of serve side network 2 egress.In addition; Also can be by other the arbitrary node in the serve side network 2; For example: serve side first node 21; The address that obtains client side first node 11 in the NotifyRequest object from the Path message that receives, the address that obtains client side Section Point 12 in the NotifyRequest object from the Resv message of receiving is by head, the link attribute information of this FA-LSP of end-node or the new link attribute information of this other arbitrary node notice FA-LSP.Perhaps; By other the arbitrary node in the network 2; For example: serve side Section Point 22; The address that obtains client side first node 11 in the Notify Request object from the Path message that receives, the address that obtains client side Section Point 12 in the Notify Request object from the Resv message of receiving is by head, the link attribute information of this FA-LSP of end-node or the new link attribute information of this other arbitrary node notice FA-LSP.

Setting up two-way FA-LSP with nested/splicing signaling mode is example, and the flow chart of the Another application embodiment of the collocation method of link attribute information of the present invention is as shown in Figure 5, and it may further comprise the steps:

Step 401; Client side first node 11 sends Path message to serve side first node 21; Request is established to the connection of client side Section Point 12, this Path message bearing the link attribute information of FA-LSP obtain request, the link attribute information of acquisition request FA-LSP.

Step 402; After serve side first node 21 received Path message, the link attribute information that from Path message, parses FA-LSP obtained request, filled in ERO:{ serve side first node 21 according to the serve side path that serve side first node 21 or path computation service device calculate; Serve side the 3rd node 23; Serve side Section Point 22}, and use RRO record tunnel path information writes RRO with the link index of serve side first node 21 (G); Then this ERO and RRO are write and send to serve side the 3rd node 23 in the Path message, the serve side tunnel is set up in request.Path message will transmit to downstream node along the route of appointment until outlet client side Section Point 22.

Step 403 after serve side the 3rd node 23 receives Path message, connects according to ERO, and the link index of serve side the 3rd node 23 (I) is write RRO, then treated Path message is sent to serve side Section Point 22.

Step 404 after serve side Section Point 22 receives Path message, writes RRO with the link index of serve side Section Point 22 (J), returns to serve side the 3rd node 23 after RRO is write Resv message.

Step 405 after serve side the 3rd node 23 receives Resv message, is used RRO record tunnel path information, sends to serve side first node 21 in the Resv message then.

Step 406; After serve side first node 21 receives Resv message; Set up the tunnel of serve side first node 21 according to the tunnel path information of record; Send Path message to serve side Section Point 22, service example first node 21 → serve side Section Point 22 tunnels of consulting service recorder with serve side Section Point 22 carry FA-LSP.
