Description

Method, equipment and system for exchanging routing information
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method, a device, and a system for exchanging routing information.
Background
Interconnection of cloud computing or data centers through a Virtual Private Network (VPN) based on client devices is a hot spot of current research. Currently, most researchers choose to perform cloud computing or data center interconnection Based on CPE-Based VPN under an access Network defined by broadband forum, where the access Network may be a TR101 Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) or Passive Optical Network (PON) access Network. In each cloud computing or data center, there are many virtual machines or node devices, each virtual machine or node device has a Media Access Control (MAC) address, and MAC address routing information composed of these MAC addresses needs to be exchanged between user edge nodes of the VPN based on the client device, and from a theoretical point of view, the user edge nodes may adopt an Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) routing protocol to diffuse the MAC address routing information by using a flooding mechanism through an IS-IS multicast packet, for example, in a TR101 Access network, a process in which the user edge nodes in the VPN based on the client device adopt an IS-IS routing protocol to diffuse the MAC address routing information by using a flooding mechanism IS shown in fig. 1. Wherein the IP edge node shown in fig. 1 may be a Broadband Access Server (BRAS) or a Broadband Network Gateway (BNG).
However, the inventor of the present invention finds that, since the Access network does not support user multicast, the IS-IS multicast packet from the user edge node IS filtered by the Access node of the Access network, for example, the Access node may be a Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM), so that MAC address routing information between the user edge nodes cannot be exchanged with each other through a routing protocol, and thus a VPN based on a client device cannot be established in the Access network.

Detailed Description
The embodiment of the invention provides a method for exchanging routing information, and also provides corresponding equipment and a corresponding system. The following are detailed below.
First, a VPN model for implementing data center interconnection in the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail, and since the VPN model for performing cloud computing interconnection or enterprise network interconnection is similar to the VPN model for performing data center interconnection, further description is omitted. VPN model for data Center interconnection as shown in fig. 2, comprising a Data Center (DC) interconnection network, a first data Center 21 located at a first server 11, a second data Center 22 located at a second server 12, and a third data Center 23 located at a third server 13, the first server 11, the second server 12, and the third server 13 are located at a first site 31, a second site 32, and a third site 33, and the first site 31, the second site 32 and the third site 33 belong to the same Virtual Private Network (VPN), it should be noted that, in a VPN model, a server may include any number of multiple data centers, each data center may include any number of node devices or virtual machines, and a site may include any number of multiple servers, and thus the VPN model is not limited to the structure shown in fig. 2.
The DC internetwork may be an operator network, the customer edge nodes are edge devices in the affiliated sites directly connected to the operator network, a customer edge node is always considered to be in a single site, the customer edge node is usually a router in the site or the three-layer switching device may even be a host.
In the VPN model shown in fig. 2, the customer edge node function of the customer edge node (i.e. the function of exchanging MAC address routing information between all customer edge nodes of the VPN) is moved up to the operator network node interconnected with the customer edge node, so that the operator network node includes a module for implementing the customer edge node function of the customer edge node, it should be noted that the connection relationship between the operator network node and the customer edge node may be a physical interconnection relationship or a logical interconnection relationship, i.e. there may be other devices between the operator network node and the customer edge node.
The module located at the network Node of the operator and used for implementing the function of the user Edge Node is referred to as a virtual user Edge (CE) module, the virtual CE module is mainly used for implementing the exchange of MAC address routing information among the virtual user Edge nodes, the network Node of the operator including the virtual CE module may be AN IP Edge Node located in the network of the operator, or AN Access Node (AN, Access Node) having AN Access function, or a sink Node having a sink function, but for convenience of description, the nodes including the virtual CE module are collectively referred to as a Provider Edge (PE, Provider Edge) Node.
In the VPN model shown in fig. 2, after the function of the customer edge node of the first customer edge node 61 is moved up to the first PE node 51 interconnected with the first customer edge node, the first customer edge node 61 can be simplified into a foolproof two-layer device (e.g., a two-layer switch), which facilitates the maintenance and management of the first customer edge node 61 by the operator, so that the customer edge node can be realized by using the existing two-layer switch. It should be noted that, the function of the customer edge node of the first customer edge node 61 may not be moved up to the first PE node 51 in theory, and the embodiment of the present invention may also be implemented, but this requires that all the customer edge nodes are upgraded to support the function of exchanging MAC address routing information between the customer edge nodes.
In the VPN model shown in fig. 2, the third user edge node 63 and the first PE node 51 are interconnected, the user edge node function of the third user edge node 63 is also moved up to the first PE node 51 so that the first PE node 51 further includes the third virtual CE module 43, also in the VPN model shown in fig. 2, the second user edge node 62 and the second PE node 52 are interconnected, the user edge node function of the second user edge node 62 is moved up to the second PE node 52 so that the second PE node 52 includes the second virtual CE module 42, and the second user edge node 62 and the third user edge node 63 are also set as one foolproof two-tier device.
Referring to fig. 3, an embodiment of a method for exchanging routing information according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:
301. receiving a message sent by a user edge node interconnected with the user edge node to obtain first media access control address information inside a site to which the user edge node belongs;
the virtual CE module located in the PE node may receive a packet sent by a user edge node interconnected with the PE node, and the packet carries first MAC address information inside a site to which the user edge node belongs, so that the virtual CE module may obtain the first MAC address information.
302. Issuing first media access control address routing information to other virtual user edge modules of the same virtual private network through an extended routing protocol;
after the virtual CE module receives a message sent by a user edge node interconnected with the virtual CE module and obtains first MAC address information from the message, the virtual CE module issues first MAC address routing information carrying the first MAC address information to other virtual CE modules in the same VPN as the virtual CE module through an extended routing protocol (such as extended BGP or IS-IS).
The extended routing protocol refers to that a routing protocol message carries MAC address routing information. It should be noted that each virtual CE module has an address, the address of the virtual CE module is usually an independent address, and the address of the virtual CE module may be a MAC address or an IP address, but if the address is saved, the virtual CE module may also use the address of the PE node to which the virtual CE module belongs, and the address of the virtual CE module is called a next hop address in the MAC address routing information.
303. And receiving second media access control address routing information which is respectively issued by other virtual user edge modules in the same virtual private network through an extended routing protocol.
Because the MAC address routing information needs to be diffused among the virtual CE modules in the VPN through a routing protocol, each virtual CE module needs to receive second MAC address routing information issued by other virtual CE modules in the same VPN through an extended routing protocol, where the second MAC address routing information carries second MAC address information inside a site to which a user edge node connected to the other virtual CE modules belongs.
In this embodiment, the first and second MAC address identifiers are used only for distinguishing MAC address routing information with different contents, and do not have a limiting function.
It should be noted that the order relationship between this step and other steps in this embodiment is not limited, for example, this step may be implemented before step 301, or may be implemented before step 302.
It should also be noted that each virtual CE module in the virtual private network performs the steps described above.
In this embodiment, the virtual CE module obtains first MAC address information inside a site to which the customer edge node belongs by receiving a packet sent by the customer edge node interconnected with the virtual CE module, and then the virtual CE module issues first MAC address routing information carrying the first MAC address information to other virtual CE modules in the same VPN by using an extended routing protocol, so that the other virtual CE modules obtain the first MAC address information, and the virtual CE module can also receive second MAC address routing information issued by the other virtual CE modules in the same VPN, respectively, by using the extended routing protocol, so as to obtain second MAC address information inside a site to which the customer edge node connected to the other virtual CE modules belongs, and therefore all the virtual CE modules in the same VPN can exchange MAC address routing information with each other by using the routing protocol.
Referring to the VPN model shown in fig. 2, a process of exchanging routing information between all virtual CE modules in a VPN through a routing protocol will be specifically described, where fig. 4 shows a schematic diagram of receiving and distributing routing information by the second virtual CE module 42, fig. 5 shows a schematic diagram of receiving and distributing routing information by the first virtual CE module 41 and the third virtual CE module 43, and referring to fig. 6, another embodiment of the method for exchanging routing information in an embodiment of the present invention includes:
601. receiving a message sent by a user edge node interconnected with the user edge node to obtain the media access control address information in a site to which the user edge node belongs;
each customer edge node at the site has a default virtual CE module address at the DC interconnect network, e.g., the first customer edge node 61 corresponds to the first virtual CE module 41 address and the second customer edge node 62 corresponds to the second virtual CE module 42 address. The virtual CE module may obtain the first MAC address information inside the site to which the user edge node interconnected with the virtual CE module belongs in two ways, specifically:
1) as for the VPN model shown in fig. 2, the second virtual CE module 42 located in the second PE node 52 may receive a routing protocol packet that the second user edge node 62 carries MAC address information, for example, the second virtual CE module 42 may receive an IS-IS routing protocol packet or a BGP routing protocol packet sent by the second user edge node 62, where the IS-IS routing protocol packet or the BGP routing protocol packet carries MAC address information inside the second site 32 to which the second user edge node 62 belongs, so that the second virtual CE module 42 obtains the MAC address information inside the second site 32 to which the second user edge node 62 belongs, and similarly, the first virtual CE module 41 and the third virtual CE module 43 located in the first PE node 51 may also receive routing protocol packets sent by the first user edge node 61 and the third user edge node 63 respectively, thereby obtaining MAC address information inside the first station 31 to which the first customer edge node 61 belongs and MAC address information inside the third station 33 to which the third customer edge node 63 belongs.
2) The virtual CE module can also receive the message sent by the user edge node interconnected with the virtual CE module, and obtains the MAC address information inside the site to which the connected user edge node belongs through MAC address learning.
602. Decapsulating the unicast message;
when a user edge node interconnected with a virtual CE module sends a routing protocol packet to the virtual CE module, in order to avoid filtering the routing protocol multicast packet by AN access node AN, the routing protocol packet sent by the user edge node may be a unicast IP packet in which a destination address is a virtual CE module address interconnected with the user edge node, for example, the routing protocol packet sent by the second user edge node 62 may be a unicast IP packet in which a destination address is a second virtual CE module 42 address, where the routing protocol multicast packet carries MAC address routing information, and after receiving the unicast IP packet, the virtual CE module decapsulates the unicast IP packet to obtain the routing protocol multicast packet, and further obtains the MAC address routing information carried by the routing protocol multicast packet.
The routing protocol multicast message sent by the user edge node to the virtual CE module interconnected with the user edge node may also be a unicast ETH message in which the destination address is the virtual CE module address interconnected with the user edge node, where the routing protocol multicast message carries MAC address routing information, and after receiving the unicast ETH message, the virtual CE module also decapsulates the unicast ETH message to obtain the routing protocol multicast message, and further obtains the MAC address routing information carried by the routing protocol multicast message.
It should be noted that the routing protocol packet sent by the user edge node may also be a unicast routing protocol packet (for example, a unicast IP packet or a unicast MAC frame) whose destination address is an address of a virtual CE module interconnected with the routing protocol packet, where the unicast routing protocol packet carries MAC address routing information, so that the virtual CE module directly decapsulates the unicast routing protocol packet, and can obtain the MAC address routing information carried by the unicast routing protocol packet.
603. Media access control address routing information is issued to other virtual user edge modules of the same virtual private network through an extended routing protocol;
the second virtual CE module 42 issues MAC address routing information to the first virtual CE module 41 and the third virtual CE module 43 through an extended routing Protocol (such as extended BGP or IS-IS), and taking an extended Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) as an example, the second virtual CE module 42 needs to extend that BGP carries "MAC, VPN ID, NH: second virtual CE module address 42 ", where MAC is MAC address information, i.e. in this example MAC address information obtained from the second customer edge node 62; the VPN identifier (VPN ID) may be identified by using an extended community attribute of BGP, for example, a Route Target (RT) to identify an unused VPN, or a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) or MPLS label to identify an unused VPN in order to solve a problem that a MAC address Route without a VPN may be repeated; the address of the site-attached virtual CE module is taken as a Next Hop address (NH, Next Hop) in the MAC address routing, for example, when the second virtual CE module 42 issues MAC address routing information to the first virtual CE module 41 and the third virtual CE module 43 through BGP, NH is the address of the second virtual CE module 42.
Similarly, the first virtual CE module 41 may also issue MAC routing information to the second virtual CE module 42 and the third virtual CE module 43 through the extended routing protocol, and the third virtual CE module 43 may also issue MAC routing information to the first virtual CE module 41 and the second virtual CE module 42 through the extended routing protocol, where the specific process of the extended routing protocol is as described above. Since the first virtual CE module 41 and the second virtual CE module 42 are in the same PE node, the first virtual CE module 41 may not issue MAC routing information to the second virtual CE module 42 through the extended routing protocol, and only need to exchange MAC addresses with each other within the same device.
604. And receiving the media access control address routing information which is respectively issued by other virtual user edge modules in the same virtual private network through an extended routing protocol.
The first virtual CE module 41 receives the MAC address routing information issued by the second virtual CE module 42 and the third virtual CE module 43 respectively through the extended routing protocol, similarly, the second virtual CE module 42 receives the MAC address routing information issued by the first virtual CE module 41 and the third virtual CE module 43 respectively through the extended routing protocol, the third virtual CE module 43 also receives the MAC address routing information issued by the first virtual CE module 41 and the second virtual CE module 42 respectively through the extended routing protocol, the process of issuing the MAC address routing information by all the virtual CE modules through the extended routing protocol is as described in step 603, it should be noted that, since the first virtual CE module 41 and the second virtual CE module 42 are in the same PE node, the first virtual CE module 41 may not issue MAC address routing information to the second virtual CE module 42 through the extended routing protocol, but only need to exchange respective MAC addresses with each other within the same device.
In this embodiment, when the routing protocol packet sent by the user edge node may be a unicast IP packet or a unicast ETH packet in which a destination address is a virtual CE module address interconnected with the user edge node, the virtual CE module may decapsulate the unicast packet to obtain the MAC address routing information, or the routing protocol packet sent by the user edge node may also be a unicast routing protocol packet (e.g., a unicast IP packet or a unicast MAC frame) carrying the MAC address routing information and having a destination address that is a virtual CE module address, so that the access node AN may avoid filtering the routing protocol multicast packet.
In the above two embodiments, the method for exchanging the routing information is described from the perspective of the virtual CE module, and in the following embodiments, the method for exchanging the routing information is described from the perspective of the customer edge node, referring to fig. 7, another embodiment of the method for exchanging the routing information in the embodiments of the present invention includes:
701. obtaining the media access control address information in the site;
the user edge node can learn and obtain the MAC address information in the affiliated station through the MAC address.
1) The MAC address information may be a MAC address of any node device or virtual machine within a site to which the customer edge node belongs.
2) However, considering that there are many node devices or virtual machines in the DC or enterprise network, each node device or virtual machine has a MAC address, and thus the total MAC address amount is large, the present invention proposes that the node devices or virtual machines in the DC or enterprise network may use virtual MAC addresses, and set the MAC address information to a virtual MAC address domain (or called virtual MAC address prefix) formed by aggregating virtual MAC addresses of all nodes in a site to which the user edge node belongs, where the virtual MAC address domain is only an address segment, which is a part of a virtual MAC address, and thus, the MAC forwarding tables of the virtual CE modules are greatly reduced. The specific process of converging the virtual MAC address domain is as follows:
the node devices inside the DC or enterprise network may be classified into at least one virtual MAC network management domain according to a region of a service object or a service provided by an operator, where prefixes of virtual MAC addresses of the node devices or virtual machines in the same virtual network management domain are the same, or masks of virtual MAC addresses of the node devices or virtual machines in the same virtual network management domain are the same, where the masks are represented by lengths, and may be positive masks, that is, represented by bit numbers with a high bit of 1, such as 4, representing F000-0000, or reverse masks, that is, represented by bit numbers with a low bit of 0, such as 4, representing FFFF-ff-FFF 0, where the reverse masks are used, and prefixes of virtual MAC addresses of the node devices inside the same DC or enterprise network are the same.
The virtual MAC address field is set as an address field with a mask, for example, the virtual MAC address field is identified by using a form of 00E0-2000-XXXX/16, wherein 'X' is a hexadecimal character from 0 to F, and '16' is the bit number of the mask, and the virtual MAC address field comprises a virtual MAC address space of 00E 0-2000-0000-00E 0-2000-FFFF.
It is assumed that the DC has three node devices or virtual machines, and the node devices or virtual machines inside the DC are classified into one virtual MAC network management domain, the prefixes of the virtual MAC addresses of these three node devices are all 00E0-1010, the virtual MAC addresses of the three node devices are 00E0-1010-0001/0, 00E0-1010-0002/0, 00E0-1010-0003/0 respectively, the user edge node of the site where the DC is located learns the virtual MAC addresses of the three node devices or the virtual machines through the MAC addresses, the user edge node learns that the mask code of the three node devices or the virtual machines is 16 by searching the longest prefix of the three virtual MAC addresses, the customer edge node aggregates the virtual MAC addresses of these three node devices or virtual machines into a virtual MAC address domain of 00E 0-1010-0000/16.
Further, suppose that the DC has three node devices or virtual machines, and the node devices or virtual machines inside the DC are set as a virtual MAC network management domain, the prefixes of the virtual MAC addresses of the three node devices are all 00E0-2000-1, the virtual MAC addresses of the three node devices or virtual machines are 00E0-2000-1001/0, 00E0-2000-1002/0, 00E0-2000-1003/0, the user edge node of the site where the DC is located learns the virtual MAC addresses of the three node devices or virtual machines through the MAC addresses, the user edge node learns that the mask of the three node devices or virtual machines is 8 by searching the longest prefix of the three virtual MAC addresses, the customer edge node aggregates the virtual MAC addresses of these three node devices or virtual machines into a virtual MAC address domain of 00E 0-2000-1000/8.
And the user edge node also reserves a certain virtual MAC address space in each virtual MAC address field as a broadcast virtual MAC address field, for example, the lower bits of the virtual MAC address are all '1' to represent the broadcast virtual MAC address of the corresponding field, for example, 00E0-2000-1FFF/12 represents the node broadcast address in the 00E0-2000-1XXX/12 field, and 00E0-2000-1XXX/12 represents the broadcast field of 00E0-2000-1 FFF/12.
702. And sending a message carrying the media access control address information in the affiliated site to a virtual user edge module interconnected with the virtual user edge module.
During preprocessing, the customer edge node will first set or obtain the default virtual CE module address connected to it.
The customer edge node may send a packet carrying MAC address information inside the affiliated station to a virtual customer edge module interconnected therewith, specifically, there are two ways:
1) in order to avoid filtering the routing protocol multicast message by the access node AN, the user edge node may send a unicast routing protocol message (for example, a unicast IP message or a unicast MAC frame) with a destination address of the virtual CE module address to the virtual CE module interconnected therewith, where the unicast routing protocol message carries the MAC address routing information, or the user edge node may also carry the routing protocol multicast message in a unicast IP message or a unicast ETH message with a destination address of the virtual CE module address, and carry the MAC address routing information in the routing protocol multicast message. The MAC address information may have two types as described in step 701, which are a MAC address or a virtual MAC address field, respectively;
2) and the user edge node can also utilize the message to carry MAC address information, and after the virtual CE module receives the message, the MAC address information carried by the message can be obtained through MAC address learning.
In this embodiment, in order to avoid filtering the routing protocol multicast packet by the access node AN, the user edge node can send a unicast routing protocol packet with a destination address being AN address of a virtual CE module interconnected with the user edge node through the routing protocol, or the routing protocol multicast message is carried in the unicast IP message or unicast ETH message with the destination address of the virtual CE module address interconnected with the routing protocol multicast message, and the user edge node can converge the obtained virtual MAC addresses of all node devices in the affiliated station into a virtual MAC address domain, so that the customer edge node need only send the virtual MAC address field to the virtual CE module to which it is connected, the virtual CE module only needs to issue MAC address routing information carrying virtual MAC addresses to other virtual CE modules, so that the routing interaction information amount is reduced, the routing forming time is reduced, and the capacity of an MAC routing forwarding table stored and maintained by the virtual CE module is reduced.
