Along with the fast development of internet, IP (Internet Protocol, the agreement that interconnects between the network) multicasting technology has been realized the efficient data transmission of IP network mid point to multiple spot.Because multicasting technology can save bandwidth Control Network flow effectively, alleviate server load, reduce offered load, therefore all be widely used aspect many at real time data transmission, multimedia conferencing etc.
The IP multicast protocol comprises between router and the recipient agreement between agreement and router and the router, and both combinations are used to make up from multicast source to the multicast transmit tree the multicast packet recipient.Agreement adopts IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol usually between router and the recipient's main frame; Internet group management protocol); Usually adopt PIM (Protocol IndependentMulticast, Protocol Independent Multicast) agreement between router and the router.Wherein, PIM-SM (Protocol IndependentMulticast-Sparse Mode, Protocol Independent Multicast-lax pattern) agreement by standard, has obtained extensive use as a kind of typical multicast path.
In the PIM-SM agreement, multicast transmit tree to set up process as shown in Figure 1, wherein; 101~105 is five routers; 106 is first receiving equipment, and 107 is second receiving equipment, and 108 is multicast source; At first; After router one 04 receives that the IGMP of first receiving equipment 106 joins request, calculate the route of multicast source 108 according to clean culture, hop-by-hop upstream router sends PIM and joins message; Through approach routing device 104-on the road direction>routing device 102->routing device 101 sets up multicast and adds in-tree, the opposite direction that adds along the PIM message of multicast source is from routing device 101-then>routing device 102->routing device 104 gives first receiving equipment 106 with transmitting multicast data.
Set up the principle of forwarding tree according to PIM; PIM upstream sends the direction that joins message and calculates according to singlecast router; If routing device 105 is received simultaneously that second receiving equipment 107 is that send and is joined request with first receiving equipment, 106 the same IGMP so; Calculate according to singlecast router that to arrive multicast sources 108 from routing device 105 optimum through the route of routing devices 103, therefore set up simultaneously from routing device 101-routing device 103-the multicast transmit tree of routing device 105.At this moment can find routing device 102, the routing device 103 identical multicast traffic stream of forwarding on the shared network segment simultaneously.According to IP multicast protocol regulation, Assert (asserting) competition can take place when in sharing the network segment, producing the multicast packet of repetition, as shown in Figure 2.
For fear of sharing the multicast packet that produces repetition on the network segment; One of prior art solutions does; Arrive the expense of multicast source separately according to the router of vying each other; Select a little router of expense to continue multicast data forwarding stream, the router that expense is big stops forwarding multicast traffic stream, and periodically on the shared network segment, broadcasts the Assert message that carries own Overhead by the little router of expense; Avoid the generation once more of the multicast packet of repetition, thereby eliminate the double flow of sharing on the network segment.Visible in this processing procedure; This scheme is after sharing the multicast packet that has duplicated on the network segment, just to carry out the Assert competition process, and during the Assert competition took place, the user will exert an influence through the data that the shared network segment receives; For example: a large amount of mosaics can appear in the video image that receives; Poor user experience because the cycle is sent the Assert message, also can increase network burden simultaneously.
Second kind of solution of the prior art is that before sharing the multicast packet that does not also duplicate on the network segment, the cycle that just begins is sent the Assert message.Though this scheme can be avoided the generation of double flow in advance, in the shared network segment that the multicast packet of no repetition produces, the cycle is sent useless Assert message can influence performance, increases network burden.

Embodiment
To combine the accompanying drawing in the embodiment of the invention below, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the invention is carried out clear, intactly description, obviously, described embodiment only is the present invention's part embodiment, rather than whole embodiment.Based on the embodiment among the present invention, those of ordinary skills are not making the every other embodiment that is obtained under the creative work prerequisite, all belong to the scope of the present invention's protection.
For fear of sharing the defective that occurs the same multicast transfer of data on the network segment, the embodiment of the invention provides a kind of multicast control method, routing device and multi-cast system.
The embodiment of the invention provides a kind of multicast control method, and is as shown in Figure 3, and this method can comprise:
301, sharing the first via that the secondary route equipment on the network segment receives on the said shared network segment is joined request by first of equipment periodic property forwarding; Said first carries RPF (the Reverse-path Forwarding of said first routing device in joining request; Reverse path is transmitted) upstream neighbor information, and the address information of multicast source;
In the PIM-SM agreement; When a routing device on a certain shared network segment that is arranged in multicast tree adds the source group of multicast tree according to recipient's request needs; At first can be according to the source address information in the route table items of himself, the singlecast router the routing device at the source address place of inquiry from this routing device to route table items, then; Confirm to be positioned at the RPF upstream neighbor at its upper reaches according to this singlecast router that inquires; And periodically send to this RPF upstream neighbor and to join request, during joining request, this carries the relevant information of its RPF upstream neighbor of confirming, and the source of multicast tree, group address.According to the regulation of PIM-SM agreement, the corresponding destination address that joins request is all routing devices that load the PIM-SM agreement in the network segment.Therefore; Send to a certain upper reaches routing device on this shared network segment though join request this moment, other routing devices on this network segment except that this particular upstream routing device, all loading PIM-SM agreements also can receive this and join request.Wherein, above-mentioned other routing devices not only comprise other upper reaches routing device, also comprise all downstream routing devices except that sending this routing device that joins request in this shared network segment.
Receive above-mentioned all routing devices that join request for sharing on the network segment; After receiving joining request that other routing devices on the same shared network segment send; In order to confirm whether need respond above-mentioned joining request; At first to self whether being that upstream equipment or upstream device in the above-mentioned shared network segment discerned, to carry out different operation.
In the embodiment of the invention, certain recipient initiates joins request and is assumed to be first and joins request, and sends this first routing device of joining request and is made as first routing device, shares to receive this first routing device of joining request on the network segment and be made as secondary route equipment.
302, said secondary route equipment confirms it self is not the RPF upstream neighbor of said first routing device according to said RPF upstream neighbor information; And confirm from the time as the downstream routing device in the said shared network segment according to the address information of said multicast source; Receive then that the downstream receiving equipments sends second join request after, temporary transient will said second not joining request is forwarded to the RPF upstream neighbor that the reception said second according to the singlecast router acquisition joins request;
In the said process, when secondary route equipment receive first join request after, can obtain the RPF upstream neighbor information of first first routing device that carry in joining request, thereby can confirm this first joins message whether issue oneself.When the RPF upstream neighbor information of said first routing device that in first joins request, carries and self information do not meet; Can confirm that then this first joins message and be not to issue oneself; At this moment, secondary route equipment can directly abandon and carry this first packet of joining request.
The secondary route equipment in the network segment shared is not also received joining request that its downstream receiving equipment initiates this moment, but it can receive to share in the network segment and be transmitted to the multicast packet of the first via by equipment, thereby creates corresponding list item.Because secondary route equipment does not receive joining request of its downstream receiving equipment initiation, this list item can not instruct the forwarding of the multicast packet that receives, and corresponding multicast packet is terminated on secondary route equipment.
When receive that the downstream receiving equipments sends second when joining request; There has been the active list item of data in the secondary route device discovery; Add corresponding outgoing interface so that multicast data forwarding, but secondary route equipment is not to transmit this second RPF upstream neighbor that message joins request for the reception said second that self obtains according to singlecast router that joins request immediately, but transmits again after waiting for a period of time; For instance, waiting time can be for second cycle of joining request and sending.
303, when said secondary route equipment receive once more said first join request or receive that first routing device sends leave request the time; The RPF upstream neighbor that the reception said second that self obtains according to singlecast router joins request is set to the said first RPF upstream neighbor of carrying in joining request, and the RPF upstream neighbor of in said first joins request, carrying is sent said second and joined request.
When receiving first of first routing device transmission once more, secondary route equipment joins request; What perhaps first routing device sent leaves when asking; Obtain the RPF upstream neighbor information of carrying in the corresponding message; The RPF upstream neighbor information that the reception said second that self obtains according to singlecast router joins request is set; Make it first to join request or to leave the RPF upstream neighbor information of carrying in the request message consistent, and send second to this RPF upstream neighbor and join request, avoid sharing and occur many different muticast data transmission paths in the network segment to the same multicast data with first routing device sends.
It is thus clear that; In the embodiment of the invention; Share downstream routing device on the network segment after receiving joining request that the downstream receiving equipment sends; Be not to transmit this to the upper reaches routing device that calculates acquisition by unicast path at once to join request; But keep with the shared network segment in the already present upper reaches routing device that other join request consistent, should insert and ask to be forwarded to same upper reaches routing device, thereby avoid many different muticast data transmission paths that are directed against the same multicast data of appearance in the shared network segment.
In addition; For instance; If said secondary route equipment has other already present route table items; Be said RPF upstream neighbor information then with the upper reaches routing device information change in said other already present route table items, with keep with the shared network segment in the already present upper reaches routing device that other join request consistent.
When said secondary route equipment is confirmed certainly as the upper reaches routing device in the said shared network segment according to the address information of said multicast source; And judge self whether to be the said first RPF upstream neighbor of carrying in joining request; If; Then according to the address information of said multicast source, continue the upper level network segment to the said shared network segment and send said first and join request; If, then do not abandon said first and join request.
