Embodiment
Below in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in the embodiment of the present invention, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the present invention is carried out to clear, complete description, obviously, described embodiment is only the present invention's part embodiment, rather than whole embodiment.Embodiment based in the present invention, those of ordinary skills, not making the every other embodiment obtaining under creative work prerequisite, belong to the scope of protection of the invention.
Conventionally, to the backup of wiring board, it is all the implementation based on electric aspect, the ability of redundancy backup is generally fixed, if for example initial design is the backup relation of 2:1, when needs change the just necessary redesign system of redundancy backup ratio, the circuit connecting relation of relevant interface board, Line Processing Unit, power board etc. all may need to redesign.
For fear of above-mentioned defect, the embodiment of the present invention provides a kind of redundancy backup method of optical interface wiring board, and as shown in Figure 3, described method can comprise the following steps:
Step 301, utilize the optical interface extension wire plate of connection line plate and described wiring board respectively of the light splitting end of optical splitting/combining apparatus;
In this step, the characteristic of utilizing the light signal of Optical Fiber Transmission to carry out light splitting and to close light, optical splitting/combining apparatus is inserted into the optical-fibre channel between opposite equip. and local device optical interface wiring board, by optical splitting/combining apparatus, between opposite equip., wiring board and extension wire plate three, form threeway annexation, wherein, the light end optical interface that closes of optical splitting/combining apparatus can peer end of the connection equipment.
Step 302, described wiring board is carried out to fault detect.
Step 303, when finding that described wiring board breaks down, close the optical interface that connects described optical splitting/combining apparatus on described wiring board, open and on described extension wire plate, connect described optical splitting/combining apparatus and the optical interface corresponding with described wiring board, by this optical interface on described extension wire plate, receive the former data-signal that mails to described wiring board, or send the light signal that originally need to send by described wiring board;
In this step, when wiring board breaks down, by extension wire plate, substitute this wiring board and communicate with the opposite equip. that is connected optical splitting/combining apparatus and closes light end optical interface.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the characteristic of utilizing the light signal of Optical Fiber Transmission to carry out light splitting and to close light, realize between any optical interface wiring board and backuping each other, and wiring board is set connects optical splitting/combining apparatus, optical splitting/combining apparatus has threeway characteristic, except being connected with opposite equip. Yi road, all the other two-way connect respectively working line plate and extension wire plate.When working line plate breaks down, for sending direction, be that this equipment is to the direction of opposite equip., close the data output optical interface of described wiring board, this optical interface stops luminous, open the optical interface corresponding with described wiring board on extension wire plate, the light signal that former cause working line plate is sent changes by spare line plate and sends and be transferred to opposite equip.; Equally, for receive direction, opposite equip. is to the direction of this equipment, and described wiring board, because fault cannot be processed the data message of light signal and carrying, changes by spare line plate and processes.By optical splitting/combining apparatus, two optical interfaces are 1:1 backup, when the optical interface quantity of spare line plate is N times of described wiring board optical interface quantity, just can realize the wiring board backup relation of N:1.
In addition, when redundancy backup ratio need to change, without the electric aspect annexation of docking oralia, modify, it is simple, convenient to realize, and optical splitting/combining apparatus reliability is high, can greatly improve the reliability of wiring board.
Between step 301 and step 302, there is no strict sequential restriction, in the specific implementation, also can first perform step 302 content, then perform step 301 content, to this, the embodiment of the present invention is not specifically limited.
Conventionally, the wiring board optical interface that the optical interface that extension wire plate provides backs up with it is identical, and when utilizing an extension wire board back-up polylith wiring board, the optical interface quantity on extension wire plate is the optical interface quantity sum of its polylith wiring board backing up.For example, the wiring board that need to back up has 4, and each wiring board has 10 1000BASE-FX (kilomega optic fiber port ethernet) interface, and the wiring board that backs up use should provide 4 * 10=40 1000BASE-FX interface.
User can select any wiring board to carry out the backup of any redundancy ratio, for example: if user only wishes a wiring board to carry out 1:1 backup protection, only need an extra extension wire plate identical with protected circuit plate.
It should be noted that, extension wire plate can be identical to the disposal ability of message and the wiring board of its backup, also can be different.If message processing capability is identical, the interface of extension wire plate should have the convergence capabilities of N:1, the wiring board number that the N is here its backup.So-called " convergence " refers to when the interface bandwidth of extension wire plate is greater than disposal ability, can dispatch and selectively carry out packet loss.The advantage of the port selection mode of extension wire plate this " convergence " is while utilizing an extension wire plate to back up polylith wiring board, when polylith wiring board breaks down simultaneously, this extension wire plate also can back up, just when the message flow being switched is greater than extension wire plate processing bandwidth, to there is part message to be dropped, for example: the priority according to message sorts, selection abandons the lower message of priority, to guarantee that the message that priority is higher can normal process.Those skilled in the art, when the port mode to " convergence " arranges, can determine according to actual application scenarios, and to this, the embodiment of the present invention is also not specifically limited.
The disposal ability that another kind of situation is extension wire plate is greater than the disposal ability of its wiring board backing up, for example: 2 times of wiring boards that back up to it of disposal ability of spare line plate, when two wiring boards break down simultaneously, due to the existence of extension wire plate, can not there is the situation of loss of data.In general, the disposal ability of supposing wiring board is x, the disposal ability of extension wire plate is y, the backup capabilities coefficient q=y/x of extension wire plate has determined the height of its backup capabilities, during as q=4, when four wiring boards break down simultaneously, extension wire plate carries out after data protection is switched message dropping not occurring; During as q=0.5, if when the data message flow of a former carrying of wiring board is linear speed, when this wiring board breaks down, nearly half data message can cannot be processed and abandon because of spare line plate.
In the embodiment of the present invention, judge that whether wiring board breaks down is by the state of wiring board is detected to acquisition.In the specific implementation, wiring board can be set and carry self-detection mechanism, can detect oneself state; Or, by the detection module outside wiring board, the state of wiring board is detected, this detection module is for example set on master control borad, by master control borad, the state of wiring board is detected.
For the fault detect of wiring board, existing multiple implementation, for example: for memory, can pass through various data checks, for example: parity check, ECC (Error Checking and Correcting, error checking and correction); Can be fine or not by phase-locked loop lock indication signal judgement clock for clock detection, or carry out count detection; For power supply, detect and can lead to superpotential detection; Can be by temperature sensor detection etc. for environment measuring.
When finding to exist the fault that can not automatically repair, for example, clock crystal oscillator no-output, overtension or too low, mass data packet loss or obstruction, there is gross error etc. in data check mistake or the reflection of chip status register, closes the data output optical interface of described wiring board, open the optical interface corresponding with described wiring board on extension wire plate, optical interface and opposite equip. by described extension wire plate communicate.
When definite wiring board breaks down, in the time of need to processing and forward the former message that mails to described wiring board by extension wire plate, or when the message that described in former cause, wiring board sends need be sent by extension wire plate, the routing information that message is forwarded can change, therefore, need to upgrade forward-path information.Described routing information can have the different forms of expression for different communication equipments, for example, for router, routing information can represent by forwarding-table item, when routing information changes, corresponding forwarding-table item is upgraded according to extension wire plate, make to be originally forwarded to the message of faulty line plate, change to and be forwarded to extension wire plate.
The technical scheme of the embodiment of the present invention has redundancy backup mode very flexibly, extension wire plate can be inserted in any circuit board slot position, user can be as required with an extension wire board back-up polylith wiring board, as backup relations such as 1:1,2:1,3:1, between reliability and economy, obtain best balance.The branch of the optical splitting/combining apparatus that now, the optical interface of extension wire plate is connected with the corresponding wiring board that it backs up is respectively connected.Visible, under this situation, optical splitting/combining apparatus can be selected the form on one minute two-way and two-way unification road, makes in three branch port of optical splitting/combining apparatus, and two branch port except peer end of the connection equipment connect respectively the wiring board that extension wire plate and this extension wire plate back up.
In another embodiment of the present invention, can also utilize extension wire plate described in polylith to back up a wiring board simultaneously, described optical splitting/combining apparatus is the optical splitting/combining apparatus on one minute multichannel and multichannel unification road, a port in a plurality of branches of the optical splitting/combining apparatus on described one minute multichannel and multichannel unification road is connected described wiring board, and in branch, all the other ports connect respectively a plurality of extension wire plates.A wiring board of now a plurality of wiring boards backup, i.e. 1:N backup, the reliability of this kind of backup mode can be higher, but that shortcoming is economy is bad.
In the embodiment of the present invention, realize the redundancy backup relation of a wiring board of polylith extension wire board back-up, as 1:2,1:3.......This backup relation only need to change separation/combination electro-optical device, use one to drive the passive separation/combination electro-optical device of multichannel, described one port driving in multichannel optical splitting/combining apparatus branch output connects described wiring board, and in branch, all the other ports connect respectively each extension wire plate.
In theory, the reliability of a wiring board of polylith wiring board backup is higher, still, cost is also larger, and the more powerful optical module of demand motive ability, generally seldom adopt in actual applications, but this implementation can provide for user the selection form of more kinds of backups.
In addition, it should be noted that, described optical splitting/combining apparatus is passive optical splitting/combining apparatus.Can use light passive network (PON, Passive Optical Networks) conventional planar optical waveguide splitter (PLC in, or fused tapered (Fused Biconical Taper, FBT) optical splitter Planar Lightwave Circuit).Because separation/combination is passive device, can accomplish its useful life equally longly with optical fiber, in outside destroy situation, can not lose efficacy not having.
Wherein, in planar optical waveguide splitter, light signal, from closing the input of terminal port, can separate a plurality of output optical signals through fiber array V-shaped type groove; Otherwise light signal is from a plurality of ports inputs of minute terminal, close road signal closing the output of terminal port.This part content belongs to technology well known to those skilled in the art, therefore, no longer repeats.
Planar optical waveguide splitter has plurality of specifications, drives 2,1 and drives 16,1 and drive 32,2 and drive 16 etc. as 1.No matter be light splitting or close light, a light splitting or the insertion loss that closes light are all 3dB.This is only equivalent to about 6 kilometers of light energies that optical fiber consumes, and the light transmission capability specification of general optical module is from hundreds of rice to kilometers up to a hundred, so the extra consumption of 3dB can make up by the optical module with higher-wattage.
The only difference in processing technology of the difference of another passive optical splitting/combining apparatus---fused tapered optical branching device and planar optical waveguide splitter, other application and parameter are basic identical.
According to reliability theory, the technical scheme of the embodiment of the present invention belongs to the inoperative redundant system (or claiming stand-by system) that two unit (that is: the wiring board of extension wire plate and backup thereof) form, and model as shown in Figure 4.The feature of this model is, during a cell operation, the deposit state of another unit in non operating state, when break down in working cell, by conversion equipment, make the replacement working cell, unit of deposit, be equivalent in the embodiment of the present invention, under normal condition, extension wire plate does not participate in transfer of data, transfer of data is carried out via the wiring board not breaking down, when wiring board breaks down, this wiring board does not participate in transfer of data, and transfer of data turns by the extension wire plate of this wiring board to be carried out.
The following describes the reliability in embodiment of the present invention technical scheme.If the failure rate that the reliability of supposition fault detect and switching is 100%, E1 and E2 unit is all λ mutually, the reliability RS of above-mentioned redundant system (t) is: RS (t)=exp (λ t) * (1+ λ t), wherein t is time variable.The reliability of individual unit is R (t)=exp (λ t), and therefore, after redundancy backup, the reliability of system has promoted (1+ λ t) doubly.For explanation reliability promotes contrast effect, be exemplified below:
Suppose that a unit reliability is a constant, R=exp (λ t)=0.99,, after redundancy backup, the reliability of system is: RS=(1-ln (0.99)) * 0.99=0.99995; When the reliability R=0.999 of a unit, the reliability after redundancy backup is: RS=(1-ln (0.999)) * 0.999=0.9999995.
As can be seen here, the embodiment of the present invention makes the wiring board reliability of communication system promote a plurality of orders of magnitude, can make originally can not to meet the requirement that system that carrier class reliability requires meets and exceeds carrier class reliability completely.
In addition, with respect to All other routes board back-up system, the present invention is only to increase in the cost of elevator system reliability greatly the passive minute photosynthetic road device that widely apply in some markets and price is very cheap.Therefore, it is convenient to realize, and cost is lower.
