Description

The method and apparatus of announcement link information
Technical field
The present invention relates to network communication field, and more specifically, relate to the method and apparatus of announcing link information.
Background technology
Multilink is transparent, and interconnected (English full name is Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links, english abbreviation is TRILL) agreement is the Routing Protocol that calculates based on Link State on a kind of double layer network, (English full name is Intermediate System to Intermediate System by the expansion Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System for it, english abbreviation is ISIS) agreement realizes, this is because ISIS can directly move based on link layer.Can realize big two layers of networking by the TRILL agreement, be applicable to the scene that virtual machine in the data center market (English full name is Virtual Machine, and english abbreviation is VM) moves in the network segment.It compares two layers of technology of tradition following advantage:
1. clean culture and multicast are all supported equal cost multipath (English full name is Equal-Cost Multi-Path Routing, and english abbreviation is ECMP), bandwidth availability ratio height.
2. unicast traffic is transmitted and is shortest path, avoids converging step by step flow and saves the network bandwidth, is fit to CLOS (CLOS is inventor's a name) networking mode.
Wherein the COLS network is meant to count for a kind of intersection of the cost that reduces multistage switching network and increases slower switching network with going into, occur number, and it all is to adopt a plurality of crosspoints on a small scale to couple together the formation multistage switching network according to certain connected mode basically.
3. convergence time is fast.
After convergence time was meant that router finds that topology of networks changes, the synchronous process of whole routing iinformation was total to the time of cost.
4. network size is big, does not have the restriction of network diameter 7.
Network diameter is meant the maximum of the number of switches of passing through when connecting between any two station terminals.Usually network diameter is no more than 7, in case otherwise network break down and be difficult to link or the node that detection failure takes place.
5.TRILL head comprises jumping figure (English full name is Hop count) field, the broadcast storm that can further avoid loop to cause.
TTL is a numerical value in the IP protocol package, and whether be used for designation data oversize and should be dropped in time of network.Broadcast storm is simply said, can't handle when broadcast data is full of network, and take a large amount of network bandwidths, causes regular traffic not move, even thoroughly paralysis, and " broadcast storm " just taken place for this.
When TRILL carried out forwarding-table item calculating in calculating, because temporary transient LSD (English full name is Link State DataBase, and english abbreviation is LSDB) is asynchronous, the path that may cause calculating between the distinct device formed loop.Causing the nonsynchronous reason of temporary transient database can be that the broadcasting of receiving between each equipment is asynchronous, perhaps equipment suspension, perhaps device link information-change etc.Transmit for clean culture,, therefore can use jumping figure cancellation loop hidden danger because message can not duplicate distribution in repeating process.For multicast message, if can not in time find loop, the distribution of duplicating owing to message may cause the offered load flow to be doubled and redoubled, and causes network paralysis.Therefore, (English full name is Reverse Path Forwarding must to carry out neighbours' inspection and reverse path forwarding before TRILL agreement regulation multicast message is transmitted, english abbreviation is RPF) check, check that the flow of failure will be dropped, thereby avoided the loop risk of multicast.
In the TRILL agreement, for the multilink between two equipment, regulation can only be issued a syntople type lengths values (English full name is Neighbor Relationship Type Length Value, and english abbreviation is NBR TLV).Carried the expense of the link of expense minimum in the described multilink of described two equipment identifications among this NBR TLV.
2 links are arranged between two equipment, for example when link 1 and link 2, suppose that the bandwidth of link 1 is bigger, its expense is 1, and the bandwidth of link 2 is less, and its expense is 10.Because the expense of link 1 is little, so the expense of link 1 can be flooded in the network.That is to say that in the process of the expense of follow-up calculating multicast path, link 1 can be identified as the multicast link of bear multicast flow between described two equipment, and the expense of this multicast link is 1.
Yet, when local route is calculated, calculate for multicast, require two adjacent equipment to select a link as multicast link according to the multicast parallel link choice mechanism of RFC6325 agreement regulation, guarantee to choose on same the physical link, check failure to avoid multicast RPF and neighbours.The multicast link that chooses according to multicast parallel link choice mechanism might not be the link of expense minimum.For example, the multicast link of the reality between two equipment may be chosen as link 2, and the expense of link 2 is 10, and promptly the expense of multicast link may be 10.
Like this, the equipment that participates in route calculating in the network is when carrying out multicast path calculating, can cause and to calculate correct expense for multicast path by mistake the expense of the expense of the link of the expense minimum of described two equipment rooms as the multicast link of described two equipment rooms through described two equipment.

Comprise 5 equipment among Fig. 1, Dui Ying another name is respectively A, B, C, D and E as shown in Figure 1, respectively by 101 to 105 indications.In Fig. 1, the next door of each equipment shows corresponding with these 5 equipment respectively tabulation 111 to 115 respectively.Every tabulation comprised and this tabulation corresponding equipment and each adjacent device between the expense (English be Metric) of a link, described expense can flood to network by Link State Protocol Data Unit (English full name is Link State PDU, and english abbreviation is LSP).For example, tabulation 111 expenses that comprised between A 101 and the adjacent device B 102, also comprised the expense between A 101 and the adjacent device D 104, each expense all is kept in the syntople type lengths values (English full name is NeighBorhood Relationship, and english abbreviation is NBR).Particularly, the expense of the link between A101 and the B102 is the expense 10 among the NBR-B in the tabulation 111, and the expense of the link between A101 and the D104 is the expense 20 among the NBR-D in the tabulation 111.These 5 equipment to the expense in the tabulation of self correspondence in network behind the inundation (English is flooding), make and have identical LSD by these 5 equipment (English full name is Link Status DataBase, english abbreviation is LSDB), this LSDB is as shown in table 3 below.
Table 3
Figure BDA0000132701180000071
Fig. 2 is that the equipment in the network shown in Figure 1 generates the schematic diagram of transmitting.For convenience of description, be example with device A 101.Among Fig. 2 201 is neighbor table (English full name is ADJacency Table) of A.Device A 101 is based on the LSDB among Fig. 1, (English full name is Shortest Path First according to SPF, english abbreviation is SPF) algorithm computation arrives the shortest path of other each equipment, generation transmits 202, transmit the path and can be load balancing, VLAN wherein is an outside VLAN.
Inlet RB node from the client edge (English full name is Customer Edge, and english abbreviation is CE) port receive after the first unicast data message from the user, search MAC according to the described first unicast data message inner VLAN identification and transmit.If exist the clean culture MAC corresponding with described message inner VLAN identification to transmit, and the list item outgoing interface is the TRILL tunnel, then at first carries out the TRILL encapsulation, and then carries out outer Ethernet (English be Ethernet, english abbreviation is ETH) head encapsulation.
After switching (English is Transit) RB node is received the first unicast data message of described TRILL encapsulation of process and Ethernet header encapsulation from specific port, peel off the ETH head, another name according to purpose RB is searched forwarding-table item, obtain next-hop mac address and outbound port, outer target MAC (Media Access Control) address is replaced, be forwarded to next device.
Outlet RB node receives behind the described first unicast data message of described switching RB node processing determines that the another name of purpose RB is self, then peel off the TRILL head, and search local mac according to inner VLAN identification and transmit, the described first unicast data message is forwarded.
If after inlet RB node is received the described first unicast data message, can't find the another name that exports the RB node, then need to carry out unknown unicast and transmit i.e. broadcasting according to the target MAC (Media Access Control) address in the described first unicast data message.The difference that broadcasting is transmitted and known unicast is transmitted is, known unicast is that each RB node is oneself to be root (English is root) node calculating forward-path, and broadcasting is to select one or more RB nodes as root node in TRILL network (the English Campus of being), and the RB node of the whole network is that root calculates forward-path with the same or a plurality of RB that choose all.Broadcast when transmitting, at first user's message is encapsulated as the TRILL message, then the TRILL message is forwarded to root node, duplicate distribution to each branch behind the arrival root node.Use the purpose of a plurality of root nodes to be with the broadcast traffic load balancing.
The flow process of multicast forwarding is the same with broadcasting, and summary is got up as follows:
Inlet RB node is searched MAC according to the inner VLAN identification of user data message and is transmitted after the CE port is received the user data message.If find to find the another name of corresponding target MAC (Media Access Control) address, perhaps the user data message is a multicast message, then at first carry out the TRILL encapsulation as the another name of purpose MAC with the another name of the root node of multicast/broadcast distribution tree, and then carry out the encapsulation of outer ETH head, outer purpose MAC is a specific multicast MAC Address by the agreement appointment, abbreviates ALL-RB MAC as at the described English that is provided by a specific multicast MAC Address of agreement appointment in the TRILL agreement.
Switching RB node is resolved the ETH head and is found to be the broadcast/group broadcast message when particular port is received data message, searches the multicast distribution tree forwarding-table item according to another name, is forwarded to next device according to the distribution tree path.
Root RB node determines that another name is self, then according to the distribution tree that with oneself is root flow is duplicated and is distributed to each branch.
After the leaf RB of distribution tree node is received multicast message, peel off the TRILL head, be forwarded to the CE side.
When forwarding-table item calculating was carried out in calculating, because the temporary transient LSDB database that a variety of causes causes is asynchronous, the path that may cause calculating between the distinct device formed loop in the TRILL agreement.Cause that the nonsynchronous reason of temporary transient database can be that the broadcasting of receiving between each equipment is asynchronous, perhaps equipment suspension, perhaps device link information-change etc.Transmit for clean culture,, therefore can use TTL cancellation loop hidden danger because message can not duplicate distribution in repeating process.For multicast message, if can not in time find loop, the distribution of duplicating owing to message may cause the offered load flow to be doubled and redoubled, and causes network paralysis.Therefore, must carry out neighbours before TRILL agreement regulation multicast message is transmitted and check and rpf check, check that the flow of failure will be dropped, thereby avoid the loop risk of multicast.
In the TRILL agreement, for two equipment that have neighborhood, the link between the equipment of adjacent device each other just, regulation can only be issued a unique NBR TLV.When local route is calculated, calculate for multicast simultaneously, two equipment that require to link to each other are selected link according to the agreement regulation, guarantee to choose on same the physical link, check failure to avoid multicast RPF and neighbours.
Yet, between above-mentioned two equipment, exist in the scene of many parallel physical links, the multicast link of selecting might not be the link of link overhead minimum, but used the expense of the link of the link overhead minimum of carrying among the described unique N BR TLV during expense of calculating multicast path, cause accurately to calculate the expense of multicast path, thereby mistake is distributed in more multithread amount on the big link of the relatively poor for example expense of Link State and transmits, and causes flow congestion so that dropping packets.In addition, (English full name is Maximum Transmission Unit can also to carry the maximum transfer unit of the link of described link overhead minimum among the described unique N BR TLV, english abbreviation is MTU), the equipment in the network can calculate the MTU of multicast path according to the MTU of the link of described link overhead minimum.But may be different owing to be used for the MTU of the multicast path of bear multicast flow between the MTU of the link of described link overhead minimum and described two equipment, so the MTU of the multicast path that calculates also may make mistakes, thus cause traffic loss.
Fig. 3 is the schematic diagram of the application scenarios of one embodiment of the present of invention.
Fig. 3 schematically comprises the RB node that establishes the connection of TRILL agreement between two, RB1 31 and RB2 32, and between two RB nodes three parallel link a33, link b34 and link c35 are arranged.Therefore RB1 31 and RB2 32 establish neighborhood, adjacent device each other.The bandwidth of link a33 is greater than the bandwidth of link b and link c, and the expense of link a33 (English is metric) Y is minimum in three links herein.The present invention does not do qualification to the parallel physical link number and the size of concrete bandwidth, expense, herein only for the relation of size is shown.Therefore in the NBR TLV of issue, select the expense of link a33.But when multicast calculates, may select link b34 to come the forwarding multicasting flow, and what multicast calculated use is the expense of link a33, this is because only issue a unique NBR TLV among the LSP, to cause flux of multicast on the littler link b34 of bandwidth, to be transmitted in this case, may cause flow congestion so that dropping packets.In addition, when the MTU of link a33 and link b34 not simultaneously, also may cause flow to be dropped.
Fig. 4 is 40 a schematic flow diagram according to one embodiment of present invention.The equipment of carrying out embodiment 40 can be the arbitrary equipment (being called first equipment in the context) that establishes syntople in the network with another equipment (being called second equipment in the context), and wherein first equipment and second equipment all can be routing bridges.
Embodiment 40 comprises:
41, first equipment generates first syntople type lengths values (english abbreviation is NBR TLV) and the 2nd NBR TLV, wherein, first equipment links to each other by many parallel links with second equipment, and second equipment is the adjacent device of first equipment, the one NBR TLV carries first expense, first expense is the expense of the link of expense minimum in many parallel links, the 2nd NBR TLV carries the multicast Route Distinguisher and second expense, the multicast Route Distinguisher is used to represent that second expense that the 2nd NBR TLV carries is the expense of multicast link, so that receive the expense of the routing bridge of described the 2nd NBR TLV according to the described second overhead computational multicast path, described multicast link is the link that is used for the bear multicast flow in described many parallel links.Alternatively, described multicast path is to comprise the multistage path of continuous link successively, is used for the transport multicast flow.
42, the first equipment flood the NBR TLV that carries first expense and carry the multicast Route Distinguisher and second expense in network the 2nd NBR TLV.
It is the NBR TLV that the particular link in many parallel links between first equipment and second equipment generates that first equipment floods in network, and particular link comprises the link of expense minimum in many parallel links and is used for the multicast link of bear multicast flow.
