105: according to this outer layer label this message is transmitted, flow process finishes.

Embodiment 2

The method that the embodiment of the invention provides a kind of message to handle, this method comprises: use the service message in outer layer label and the vpn label processing network, outer layer label is used for service message is transmitted; Vpn label is used to distinguish different business.Concrete, in heterogeneous networks, can choose different outer layer labels and vpn label.Such as at the MPLS network, can choose the LSP label is vpn label, and the PW label is a vpn label.In VLAN, can choose outer field VLAN label as outer layer label, the VLAN label of internal layer is as vpn label.

Before message is handled, need carry out following preparation process:

Pre-configured processing list item in each node of network, be specially: according to the mapping relations of default service message and outer layer label, vpn label, determine pairing outer layer label of each service message and vpn label in the network, and in each node, dispose the pairing nodal operation of each service message.

This processing list item comprises: the outer layer label of service message, vpn label and Action label, and wherein, the Action label is outer layer label and the pairing nodal operation of vpn label, the Action label comprises:

Drop: receive, promptly take off this message, no longer transmit.

Drop and Continue: receive and transmit, promptly duplicate a message and receive at this node, the outer layer label according to message E-Packets simultaneously.

Discard: abandon, promptly abandon this message.

After above-mentioned preparation process is finished, when network edge node receives service message at user side, mapping relations according to default service message and outer layer label, vpn label, determine the outer layer label and the vpn label of this service message, be encapsulated in this message this outer layer label and vpn label and forwarding.

After node in the network is received this message, obtain outer layer label and vpn label in this message, this message is transferred to destination node in network.Referring to Fig. 2, the concrete steps that message is handled are:

201: the node in the network receives the service message that transmits in the network.

202: obtain outer layer label and vpn label in this message.

203: in pre-configured processing list item, search the nodal operation of coupling according to this outer layer label and vpn label; If find the nodal operation of coupling, then carry out 204, if do not find the nodal operation of coupling, then carry out 205.

The node that receives message is when searching the nodal operation of coupling, search according to outer layer label and vpn label simultaneously, promptly in the pre-configured processing list item of this node, search with message in outer layer label and the processing list item that mates simultaneously of vpn label, if can find the processing list item that is complementary, then this message be handled according to the nodal operation in this list item; If do not find the processing list item of coupling, this message transmitted according to this outer layer label.

Table 2

For example, it is 100 that above-mentioned node receives the LSP label from port 3, and the PW label is that the query processing list item is Drop, then takes off this message behind 20 the message, no longer transmits; When this node receives the LSP label from port 3 is 200, and the PW label is behind 40 the message, then to duplicate this message at this node, simultaneously according to the LSP label forwarding message of message; When this node receives the LSP label from port 3 is 100, and the PW label is behind 40 the message, inquires node corresponding and is operating as and abandons, and then directly abandons this message; If it is 100 that this node receives the LSP label from port 3, the PW label is 30 message, does not have corresponding PW label in the list item owing to handle, then directly transmit according to the LSP label, after being question blank 2, label is exchanged for 300, forwards from port 5 at outbound port; If it is 500 that node receives the LSP label, the PW label is 30 message, handles the LSP label that does not have coupling in the list item, then is judged to be unknown message and carries out discard processing.

Embodiment 3

The embodiment of the invention provides the method that message is handled in a kind of loop network, and on this basis, has further proposed to carry out the method for service protection in the process that the loop network message is handled.

The method that the message that the embodiment of the invention provides is handled is identical with embodiment 2, specifically is applied in the loop network, and such as being applied to the MPLS loop network, in this MPLS loop network, outer layer label can be the LSP label, and vpn label can be the PW label.

Before message is handled, need carry out following preparation process:

In this MPLS loop network, dispose two rightabout closed loop LSP, two closed loops all comprise all nodes in the loop network, and two closed loop LSP of configuration can be opposite two ring LSP or two two-way ring LSP of direction.

Concrete, the looped network of forming with A, B, C, D, six nodes of E, F is an example, in looped network, it is LSP_CC to the anticlockwise LSP of A node that configuration comprises two opposite closed loop LSP:B nodes of whole six nodes and direction, and the A node is LSP_CW to the clockwise LSP of B node.

For each business of in looped network, transmitting, mapping relations according to default service message and LSP label, PW label, determine the LSP label and the PW label of service message, and carry out pre-configured to the processing list item of the node in the looped network according to this LSP label and PW label, wherein, PW label the whole network of each service message is unique, and the following link point of service message must be configured, and last link point and other intermediate nodes need be configured according to concrete application scenarios.Need to prove that in loop network, last link point promptly receives the network edge node of service message at user side, following link point is the Egress node that message is transmitted in loop network.

For example a last link point is that F, following link point are the service message of C, in the mapping relations of service message and LSP label, PW label, its PW label is 10, the LSP label is the label on the LSP_CC, be mapped on the LSP_CC and transmit, then configuration PW label on the node C be 10 and the pairing nodal operation of LSP label that belongs on the LSP_CC direction be Drop; If node E need duplicate a message when E-Packeting, then can be in node E be with the PW label 10 and the pairing nodal operation of LSP label that belongs on the LSP_CC direction be configured to Drop and Continue.

After above-mentioned preparation is finished, just can in loop network, carry out message forwarding, but lack service protection mechanism this moment, can not guarantee the fail safe that service message is handled.Such as, when link occurs fault, can not carry out the protection of professional transmission and handle, cause service message to lose.

Further, be the fail safe that guarantees that message is transmitted in loop network, before message is handled, can also carry out the protection of Network, referring to Fig. 3, the method for being engaged in protecting in the enterprising industry of this MPLS looped network is:

301: carry out link detecting between the adjacent node in the loop network.

302: when node detection arrives link failure; this node (Wrapping) state that is set to unroll then; the pairing port of the link that breaks down is set to non-working port, and sends APS (APS, Automatic ProtectionSwitching) message.

Further, in the protocol processing unit of APS message, the APS message comprises:

Non-working port information, wherein non-working port is the central port that detects fault, can be forward end mouth or reverse port, and the inbound port of regulation reception message is the forward port usually, and the outbound port that E-Packets is a reverse port.

Sending node sign (Destination identification identity), wherein sending node promptly detects link failure and sends the node of APS message.

Destination node sign (Source identification identity), wherein destination node is the link that breaks down or the adjacent interdependent node of node.

Protection switching request information: comprise the type of switching that triggers APS, as Signal Fail SF (Signal Fail) or there is not request NR (No Request).In the present embodiment, when node detection arrived link failure, then the type of switching of the protection switching request information in the APS message of Fa Songing was a Signal Fail.

Concrete, when the node detection in the looped network arrives link failure, enter the Wrapping state, and on two ring LSP, send the APS message respectively, promptly in the APS message, on corresponding ring LSP, transmit behind the LSP label on encapsulation LSP_CC and the LSP_CW direction respectively, wherein the PW label of APS message is default particular value, and this special P W label is used for the APS message and service message is distinguished.

303: after node in the looped network received and goes out this APS message according to special P W tag recognition, the APS module that then sends to present node was handled, and carries out the corresponding operating of service protection.Concrete grammar is;

1), then ignores this APS message if present node has been in the Wrapping state.

2) if present node is in normal condition, and judge the destination node that present node is not this APS message, then according to this APS message of the LSP label forwarding in this APS message by destination node sign.

3) if present node is in normal condition, and judge that by the destination node sign present node is the destination node of this APS message, then enter the Wrapping state, and be set to non-working port according to corresponding port on the non-working port information present node in this APS message.Concrete grammar is: when the non-working port information in the APS message is the forward port of sending node, then the present node reverse port is made as non-working port; Otherwise when the non-working port information in the APS message was the reverse port of sending node, then the forward port with present node was made as non-working port.

For example; fault has taken place to the link on the node D direction in node E; node D detects the forward port and fault occurred; then on two ring LSP, send the APS message respectively; wherein non-working port information is the forward port; sending node is designated the sign of node D, and destination node is designated the sign of node E, and the type of switching in the protection switching request information is a Signal Fail.Node E is after receiving the APS message, and identifying this node is destination node, and non-working port is the forward port, and then the reverse port of this node is set to non-working port, is about to be set to non-working port towards the outbound port of node D.

Enter the node of Wrapping state, all are all carried out the switching of LSP direction from non-non-working port to the service message that non-working port sends, the LSP label that is about in the message switches to reverse LSP label, and according to the LSP label after switching message is handled.

After above-mentioned preparation process and service protection step are carried out, just can in this loop network, E-Packet, and E-Packet and have certain fail safe, concrete steps are:

1) by skin encapsulation LSP label and the PW label of last link point, and according to LSP label forwarding message at service message.For example the LSP label of message belongs to the label on the LSP_CC, then according to counterclockwise E-Packeting.

2) other nodes if present node is in the Wrapping state, are then handled message according to the method for service protection after receiving message; If present node is normal, then obtain LSP label and PW label in the message, and handle list item according to LSP label and PW searching label, in the time finding the node corresponding operation, then message is handled according to nodal operation; When not finding the nodal operation of coupling, then message is transmitted according to the LSP label.

Introduce the method for service message processing in this MPLS loop network and the method for service protection below in conjunction with concrete application scenarios.

Referring to Fig. 4, in the looped network that node A, B, C, D, E, F form, for last link point is F, following link point is the service message of C, in the mapping relations of service message and LSP label, PW label, the PW label of this message is 10, and the LSP label is the label on the LSP_CC, transmits on the LSP_CC direction; For last link point is C, and following link point is the service message of F, and in the mapping relations of service message and LSP label, PW label, the PW label of this message is 12, and the LSP label is the label on the LSP_CW, transmits on the LSP_CW direction.

First kind of application scenarios: link and node are all normal, are that example describes with node F to node C transport service, and then in the processing list item of node C, LSP label on the pre-configured LSP_CC direction and PW label are that the nodal operation of 10 service message is Drop.

The process that message is handled in this scene is as follows:

401: after this service message arrives node F, the mapping relations of message that node F basis is default and LSP label, PW label, the LSP label and the PW label of this message of encapsulation in message, wherein the LSP label is the label on the LSP_CC, the PW label is 10.Node E is handled with this message in the encapsulation back on the LSP_CC direction.

402: node E obtains LSP label and PW label in the message after receiving message, according to LSP label and the operation of PW label lookup node corresponding.Owing in the configuration list item of node E, do not have pre-configured this LSP label and the pairing operation of PW label, then node E determines that according to the LSP label message forwarding direction is LSP_CC, on the LSP_CC direction this message is handled node D, node D handles node C according to identical method with message.

403: node C obtains LSP label and PW label in the message after receiving message, operates according to LSP label and PW label lookup node corresponding, finds to be Drop, then with message decapsulation and reception.

Second kind of application scenarios: link generation bi-directional failure is that example describes with node F to node C transport service, and then in the processing list item of node C, LSP label on the pre-configured LSP_CC direction and PW label are that the nodal operation of 10 service message is Drop.

The process of service protection is as follows in this scene:

Referring to Fig. 5; each node in the looped network that node A, B, C, D, E, F form is all normal; but fault has taken place in the link between node E and the node D; node D and node E enter the Wrapping state after detecting link failure; the faulty link corresponding port is set to non-working port; and send the APS message simultaneously on two LSP directions, and the protection switching request in the APS message is a Signal Fail.Supplementary notes be, after node D and node E receive the APS message, obtain LSP label and PW label in the message, by the APS resume module of node E, the APS module judges that this node current state is the Wrapping state, then ignores received APS message.

The process that message is handled in this scene is as follows:

501: after this service message arrives the F node, the mapping relations of message that node F basis is default and LSP label, PW label, the LSP label and the PW label of this message of encapsulation in message, wherein the LSP label is the label on the LSP_CC, the PW label is 10.The encapsulation back is forwarded to node E with this message on the LSP_CC direction.

502: because node E is in the Wrapping state, and the inbound port at node E of service message is non-non-working port, but outbound port is a non-working port, service message transmits to non-working port from non-non-working port, therefore node E switches to LSP_CW with this message from LSP_CC and transmits, soon the LSP label of message switches to the label on the LSP_CW direction, and according to LSP label on the LSP_CW direction after switching and the operation of PW label lookup node corresponding, owing in the configuration list item of node E, do not have pre-configured LSP label and the pairing operation of PW label, then node E determines that according to the LSP label message routing direction is LSP_CW, then on LSP_CW message is forwarded to F according to the LSP label after switching.

503: node F is after receiving message, obtain LSP label in the message and be the LSP label on the LSP_CW direction, the PW label is 10, and operate accordingly according to LSP label and PW label lookup, owing to there is not pre-configured node corresponding operation, then in the LSP_CW direction this message is forwarded to node A according to the LSP label, node A is forwarded to Node B according to identical method with message, and Node B is forwarded to node C with message.

504: node C is after receiving message, obtain LSP label information and PW label information in the message, the LSP label and the PW label that find on the LSP_CW direction are 10 pairing nodal operations, owing to do not have pre-configured node corresponding operation, then this message be forwarded to node D according to the LSP label.

505: after node D receives message, owing to be in the Wrapping state, and service message is to transmit to non-working port from non-non-working port, therefore the LSP_CW label in the message is switched to the LSP_CC label, according to LSP_CC label after switching and the operation of PW label lookup node corresponding, owing to there is not the operation of pre-configured node corresponding, then on the LSP_CC direction, message is forwarded to node C.

506: node C obtains LSP label in the message and is the label on the LSP_CC direction after receiving message, the PW label is 10, and according to LSP label and PW label, searching corresponding nodal operation is Drop, then receives this message, and flow process finishes.

The third application scenarios: link generation unidirectional fault, referring to Fig. 6, each node in the looped network that node A, B, C, D, E, F form is all normal, but fault has taken place to the link on the node D direction in node E, node D is still normal to the link on the node E direction, therefore has only node D to detect link failure.

The process of service protection is as follows in this scene:

Node D detects node E and to the link on the node D direction fault has taken place; enter the Wrapping state; the pairing port of faulty link is set to non-working port; the forward port that is about to node D is set to non-working port; and on two LSP directions, send the APS message, and wherein non-working port information is the forward port, sending node is designated the sign of node D; destination node is designated the sign of node E, and the type of switching in the protection switching request information is a Signal Fail.Node E is after receiving the APS message, obtain LSP label and PW label in the message, APS resume module by node E, the APS module judges that this node current state is for normal, identifying this node according to destination node is destination node, then this node is set to the Wrapping state, and the non-working port information in the APS message is the forward port of node D, then the reverse port of this node is set to non-working port, is about to be set to non-working port towards the outbound port of node D.

In this scene, the process that message is handled is:

As node F during to node C transport service, then in the processing list item of node C, LSP label on the pre-configured LSP_CC direction and PW label are that the nodal operation of 10 service message is Drop, and this moment is identical with second kind of application scenarios to the message forwarding process, repeats no more.

As node C during to node F transport service, then in the processing list item of node F, LSP label on the pre-configured LSP_CW direction and PW label are that the nodal operation of 12 service message is Drop, this moment, node D was in the Wrapping state, but node D is still normal to the link on the node E direction, owing to be message transmission between non-non-working port, therefore can carry out normal professional transmission, repeat no more herein.

The 4th kind of application scenarios: node failure, is that example describes with node F to node C transport service, referring to Fig. 7, in the looped network that node A, B, C, D, E, F form, each node and link in the loop network are all normal, but fault has taken place node C, node D and Node B detect and can't carry out transfer of data with node C, be judged to be towards the link of node C fault has taken place, enter the Wrapping state, be set to non-working port towards the port of node C.

For preventing that message forwarding from forming loop, the solution that the embodiment of the invention proposes is: when the last link point of a business receives the service message that is packaged with this business corresponding outer layer label and vpn label from the central port, then abandon this service message.When promptly going up link point and on the direction that service message is transmitted, receiving this message once more, illustrate that the forwarding of message in loop network formed loop, should abandon this message at this moment.With this scene is example, in the processing list item of node F, and the Discard that is operating as that LSP label on the configuration LSP_CC direction and PW label are 10 correspondences.

The process of service protection is as follows in this scene:

Node D and Node B detect towards the link of node C fault have taken place, and enter the Wrapping state, and the pairing port of faulty link is set to non-working port, and send the APS message on two LSP directions.Need to prove that in the APS message that Node B and node D send in the present embodiment, destination node all is node C, but because node C fault is ignored the effect of APS message herein.

The process that service message is handled in this scene is as follows:

701: after this service message arrives node F, the mapping relations of message that node F basis is default and LSP label, PW label, the LSP label and the PW label of this message of encapsulation in message, wherein the LSP label is the label on the LSP_CC, the PW label is 10.The encapsulation back is forwarded to node E with this message on the LSP_CC direction.

702: node E is forwarded to node D with message, because node D is in the Wrapping state, and service message is to transmit to non-working port from non-non-working port, then this message being switched to LSP_CW from LSP_CC transmits, soon the LSP label of message switches to the label on the LSP_CW direction, and according to label on the LSP_CW direction after switching and the operation of PW label lookup node corresponding, owing to there is not pre-configured node corresponding operation, then node D determines that according to the LSP label message routing direction is LSP_CW, then on LSP_CW message is forwarded to E according to the LSP label after switching.

703: node E is forwarded to node F with message, node F is after receiving message, the LSP label that obtains in the message belongs to LSP_CW, the PW label is 10, and according to LSP label and the operation of PW label lookup node corresponding, owing to there is not pre-configured node corresponding operation, then in the LSP_CW direction this message is forwarded to node A according to the LSP label, node A is forwarded to Node B according to identical method with message.

704: after Node B is received message, owing to be in the Wrapping state, and service message is to transmit to non-working port from non-non-working port, LSP_CW label in the message is switched to the LSP_CC label, according to LSP_CC label after switching and the operation of PW label lookup node corresponding, owing to there is not the operation of pre-configured node corresponding, then on the LSP_CC direction, message is forwarded to node A.

705: node A continues to E-Packet until being forwarded to node F, and node F is operating as Discard according to LSP label and PW label lookup node corresponding, then abandons this message, and flow process finishes.

The embodiment of the invention is handled message according to the LSP label and the PW label of service message, be implemented in when receiving the multiple business message in the network, can receive service message from the different nodes of same LSP, save label resources, be adapted at ring network and use.

Embodiment 4

The method that the embodiment of the invention provides a kind of message to handle, this method is simplified the method that embodiment 2 provides, and when pre-configured nodal operation, only is configured according to vpn label; Node is also only searched corresponding operation according to vpn label when message is handled, as shown in Figure 8, this method comprises:

Before message is handled, need carry out following preparation process:

This processing list item comprises: service message vpn label and Action label, and wherein, the Action label is outer layer label and the pairing nodal operation of vpn label, the Action label comprises:

Drop: receive, promptly take off this message, no longer transmit.

After node in the network is received this message, obtain outer layer label and vpn label in this message, this message is transferred to destination node in network.Referring to Fig. 8, the concrete steps that message is handled are:

801: the node in the network receives the service message that transmits in the network.

802: obtain outer layer label and vpn label in this message.

803: in pre-configured processing list item, search the nodal operation of coupling according to vpn label; If find the nodal operation of coupling, then carry out 804, if do not find the nodal operation of coupling, then carry out 805.

804: this message is handled according to this nodal operation that finds;

805: this message is transmitted according to this outer layer label.

The node that receives message is when searching the nodal operation of coupling, search in the pre-configured processing list item of this node according to vpn label, search with message in the processing list item of vpn label coupling, if can find the processing list item that is complementary, then this message be handled according to the nodal operation in this list item; If do not find the processing list item of coupling, this message transmitted according to this outer layer label.

The embodiment of the invention is handled message according to the vpn label of service message, according to outer layer label message is transmitted, be implemented in when receiving the multiple business message in the network, can receive service message from the different nodes of same transmission path, saved label resources, be adapted at using in the ring network.

Embodiment 5

The method that the message that the embodiment of the invention provides is handled is identical with embodiment 4, specifically is applied in the loop network, and such as being applied to the MPLS loop network, in this MPLS loop network, outer layer label can be the LSP label, and vpn label can be the PW label.

Before message is handled, need carry out following preparation process:

For each business of in looped network, transmitting, mapping relations according to default service message and LSP label, PW label, determine the LSP label and the PW label of service message, and carry out pre-configured to the processing list item of the node in the looped network according to this PW label, wherein, PW label the whole network of each service message is unique, and the following link point of service message must be configured, and last link point and other intermediate nodes need be configured according to concrete application scenarios.

For example a last link point is that F, following link point are the service message of C, in the mapping relations of service message and LSP label, PW label, its PW label is 10, the LSP label is the label on the LSP_CC, be mapped on the LSP_CC and transmit, then configuration PW label is that 10 pairing nodal operations are Drop on node C; If node E need duplicate a message when E-Packeting, then can be in node E be that 10 pairing nodal operations are configured to Drop and Continue with the PW label.

After above-mentioned preparation is finished, just can in loop network, carry out message forwarding, but lack service protection mechanism this moment, can not guarantee the correctness that service message is handled.

Further, be the fail safe that guarantees that message is transmitted in loop network, before message is handled, can also carry out the protection of Network, referring to Fig. 9, the method for being engaged in protecting in the enterprising industry of this MPLS looped network is:

901: carry out link detecting between the adjacent node in the loop network.

902: when node detection arrived link failure, then this node was set to the Wrapping state, and the pairing port of the link that breaks down is set to non-working port, and sent the APS message.

Concrete, when the node detection in the looped network arrives link failure, enter the Wrapping state, and on two ring LSP, send the APS message respectively, promptly in the APS message, on corresponding ring LSP, transmitting behind the LSP label on encapsulation LSP_CC and the LSP_CW direction respectively, wherein the PW label of APS message is default particular value, and this special P W label is used for the APS message and service message is distinguished.

903: after node in the looped network received and goes out this APS message according to special P W tag recognition, the APS module that then sends to this node was handled, and carries out the corresponding operating of service protection.Concrete grammar is;

2) other nodes if present node is in the Wrapping state, are then handled message according to the method for service protection after receiving message; If present node is normal, then obtain LSP label and PW label in the message, and handle list item according to the PW searching label, in the time finding the node corresponding operation, then message is handled according to nodal operation; When not finding the nodal operation of coupling, then message is transmitted according to the LSP label.

First kind of application scenarios: link and node are all normal, are that example describes with node F to node C transport service, and then in the processing list item of node C, pre-configured PW label is that the nodal operation of 10 service message is Drop.

The process that message is handled in this scene is as follows:

1001: after this service message arrives node F, the mapping relations of message that node F basis is default and LSP label, PW label, encapsulation LSP label and PW label in message, wherein the LSP label is the label on the LSP_CC, the PW label is 10.The encapsulation back is forwarded to node E with this message on the LSP_CC direction.

1002: node E obtains LSP label and PW label in the message after receiving message, operate according to PW label lookup node corresponding.Owing in the configuration list item of node E, do not have pre-configured this LSP label and the pairing operation of PW label, then node E determines that according to the LSP label message forwarding direction is LSP_CC, on the LSP_CC direction this message is forwarded to node D, node D is forwarded to node C according to identical method with message.

1003: node C obtains LSP label and PW label in the message after receiving message, operates according to PW label lookup node corresponding, finds to be Drop, then with message decapsulation and reception.

Second kind of application scenarios: link generation bi-directional failure is that example describes with node F to node C transport service, and then in the processing list item of node C, pre-configured PW label is that the nodal operation of 10 service message is Drop.

The process of service protection is as follows in this scene:

The process that message is handled in this scene is as follows:

1101: after this service message arrives the F node, the mapping relations of message that node F basis is default and LSP label, PW label, encapsulation LSP label and PW label in message, wherein the LSP label is the label on the LSP_CC, the PW label is 10.The encapsulation back is forwarded to node E with this message on the LSP_CC direction.

1102: because node E is in the Wrapping state, and the inbound port at node E of service message is non-non-working port, but outbound port is a non-working port, service message transmits to non-working port from non-non-working port, therefore node E switches to LSP_CW with this message from LSP_CC and transmits, soon the LSP label of message switches to the label on the LSP_CW direction, and operate according to PW label lookup node corresponding, owing in the configuration list item of node E, there is not the pairing operation of pre-configured PW label, then node E determines that according to the LSP label message routing direction is LSP_CW, then on LSP_CW message is forwarded to F according to the LSP label after switching.

1103: node F is after receiving message, obtain LSP label in the message and be the LSP label on the LSP_CW direction, the PW label is 10, and operate accordingly according to the PW label lookup, owing to there is not pre-configured node corresponding operation, then in the LSP_CW direction this message is forwarded to node A according to the LSP label, node A is forwarded to Node B according to identical method with message, and Node B is forwarded to node C with message.

1104: node C obtains LSP label in the message and is the label on the LSP_CW direction after receiving message, the PW label is 10, and according to this PW label, searching corresponding nodal operation is Drop, then receives this message, and flow process finishes.

The process of service protection is as follows in this scene:

In this scene, the process that message is handled is:

As node F during to node C transport service, then in the processing list item of node C, pre-configured PW label is that the nodal operation of 10 service message is Drop, and this moment is identical with second kind of application scenarios to the message forwarding process, repeats no more.

As node C during to node F transport service, then in the processing list item of node F, pre-configured PW label is that the nodal operation of 12 service message is Drop, this moment, node D was in the Wrapping state, but node D is still normal to the link on the node E direction, owing to be message transmission between non-non-working port, therefore can carry out normal professional transmission, repeat no more herein.
