Fig. 2 a and Fig. 2 b is the principle schematic of the embodiment of the present invention two based on the method for testing of the MPLS-TP active-standby switch time of test packet.
Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing of the present invention, clear, complete description is carried out to the technical scheme of the embodiment of the present invention.
The present invention realizes the measurement of active-standby switch time by the chip of equipment itself or the test packet of network processing unit NP transmission steady rate.Wherein, the characteristic support that equipment needs some rigid, is specially: 1, the chip of equipment or NP support based on the ethernet test message of ITU-Y.1731 agreement or the transmitting-receiving of MPLS-TP test packet and counting; 2, the transmission of test packet is not by the impact of link switching; 3, equipment supports the packet sending speed per second of nominative testing message, requires to keep rate stabilization in process of transmitting.Consider measurement effect, packet sending speed is preferably not less than 100 bags per second, and now certainty of measurement is 10ms; 4, equipment packet sending speed can not be greater than main/slave link minimum bandwidth on the way, must ensure packet loss not because bandwidth deficiency causes on path.As PTN (Packet Transport Network, the Packet Transport Network) equipment based on GreatBelt chip can meet above-mentioned requirements.
Shown in composition graphs 1 and Fig. 2, the embodiment of the present invention one is for Ethernet protection handoff scenario, and concrete introduction the present invention is based on the method for testing of the active-standby switch time of test packet.Three pairs MEP: a pair are used between primary link, for monitoring status of primary link in topology of the present invention; A pair between standby link, for monitoring standby link state; A pair between PE1 equipment and PE2 equipment, for test packet transmission message counting number or receive message counting number.
PE1 equipment sends ethernet test message to PE2 equipment, and under normal circumstances, ethernet test message transmits over the primary link, and when primary link is checked through interruption time, standby link is opened, the transmission of ethernet test message conversion standby link.And time G.8031 the main/slave link between PE1 equipment and PE2 equipment runs, only have a paths to be available, an other paths gets clogged, prevent from forming loop.
The method of testing of the embodiment of the present invention two specifically comprises the following steps:
Enable ethernet test message on the MEP at PE1 equipment and PE2 equipment two ends, by ethernet test message to set transmission rate to send to opposite end through primary link PE2 equipment from PE1 equipment, the transmission rate of setting ethernet test message is x bag per second;
After stability of flow, disconnect primary link, ethernet test message is switched on the standby link between PE1 equipment and PE2 equipment and transmits;
After stability of flow, PE1 equipment stops sending ethernet test message to PE2 equipment, stops two-way giving out a contract for a project, be in order to allow ethernet test message give out a contract for a project and packet receiving number no longer increases, so that it is poor to calculate transmitting-receiving bag number;
The test packet sum that the test packet sum sent according to PE1 equipment and PE2 equipment receive, calculates the active-standby switch time.
Particularly, by the test packet sum of transmission and the transmission rate x of the difference of the test packet sum received divided by test packet, calculate active-standby switch time Δ t, i.e. Δ t=Δ N/x, wherein, Δ N represents the difference of the test packet sum of transmission and the test packet sum of reception, and the unit of Δ t is s.
Give an example, the packet sending speed of setting test packet is stabilized in 1000 bags per second, if do not do active/standby link switchover, should not have packet loss, and namely packet receiving number and number of giving out a contract for a project are equal.If do active-standby switch, in this process, because data transfer path there occurs change, certainly have message and lost.But after being by the time switched to standby link, packet loss would not be had again.The difference of now contrast transmitting-receiving bag number, such as, find to have lost 10 packets.So calculate and use 10/1000pps exactly switching time, obtaining switching time is 0.01 second=10 milliseconds, i.e. 10ms.
Shown in composition graphs 2a and Fig. 2 b, the embodiment of the present invention two protects handoff scenario to be example with MPLS-TP LSP (label switch path, label switched path).Equally, in the topology of the embodiment of the present invention two, also use three couples of MEP, a pair between main LSP, for monitoring status of primary link; A pair between standby LSP, for monitoring standby link state; A pair between PE1 equipment and PE2 equipment, for test packet transmission message counting number or receive message counting number.
PE1 equipment sends MPLS-TP test packet to PE2 equipment, and under normal circumstances, MPLS-TP test packet transmits over the primary link, and when primary link is checked through interruption time, standby link is opened, the transmission of MPLS-TP test packet conversion standby link.And time G.8031 the main/slave link between PE1 equipment and PE2 equipment runs, only have a paths to be available, an other paths gets clogged, prevent from forming loop.
The method of testing of the embodiment of the present invention two specifically comprises the following steps:
Enable MPLS-TP test packet on the MEP at PE1 equipment and PE2 equipment two ends, by MPLS-TP test packet to set transmission rate to send to opposite end through primary link PE2 equipment from PE1 equipment, the transmission rate of setting MPLS-TP test packet is x bag per second;
After stability of flow, disconnect primary link, MPLS-TP message is switched on the standby link between PE1 equipment and PE2 equipment and transmits;
After stability of flow, PE1 equipment stops sending ethernet test message to PE2 equipment, stops two-way giving out a contract for a project, be in order to allow MPLS-TP test packet give out a contract for a project and packet receiving number no longer increases, so that it is poor to calculate transmitting-receiving bag number;
The test packet sum that the test packet sum sent according to PE1 equipment and PE2 equipment receive, calculates the active-standby switch time.
Present invention further teaches the testing apparatus of a kind of active-standby switch time based on test packet, comprise transmitting apparatus, receiving equipment, active-standby switch equipment and a pair maintaining end point MEP, there is between transmitting apparatus and receiving equipment the main path for test packet transmission and standby path, transmitting apparatus generally sends test packet to receiving equipment by main path with the transmission rate of setting, when main path fault or when disconnecting, be then switched on standby path and transmit;
Active-standby switch equipment is used for carrying out active-standby switch to the transmission path of test packet, on the contrary by path from main path be switched to standby path or; Maintaining end point between transmitting apparatus and receiving equipment, for counting the transmission message number of transmitting apparatus and the reception message number of receiving equipment.
And apparatus of the present invention equally also need some the rigid characteristic supports meeting above-mentioned introduction.
In addition, between main path, between standby path, also respectively there is a pair maintaining end point MEP, be respectively used to the state monitoring primary link, standby link.
Technology contents of the present invention and technical characteristic have disclosed as above; but those of ordinary skill in the art still may do all replacement and the modification that do not deviate from spirit of the present invention based on teaching of the present invention and announcement; therefore; scope should be not limited to the content that embodiment discloses; and various do not deviate from replacement of the present invention and modification should be comprised, and contained by present patent application claim.
