Description

TRILL network distribution tree selection method and TRILL network node
Technical Field
The invention relates to a computer network technology, in particular to a TRILL network distribution tree selection method and a TRILL network node.
Background
The Transparent transmission of multiple Links (Transparent Interconnection of Links, TRILL) protocol is an international standard protocol at present, and a three-layer routing technology is applied to two-layer transmission, so that a large-scale two-layer cloud is realized, the requirements of an increasing converged network or an ultra-large data center are met, and an excellent and efficient two-layer broadcast domain is constructed. TRILL networks use an Intermediate system to Intermediate system routing protocol (ISIS) as its dynamic routing protocol to complete topology and routing computations for the network.
TRILL-ISIS is a dynamic link state-based Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP), after an adjacency is established by hello message interaction negotiation, each Routing Bridge (RB) generates a link-state protocol packet (LSP) to describe link state information of the RB, and sends the link-state packet (LSP) to the network, and also stores the LSP sent by all RBs on the network topology, so as to form a link-state database (LSDB).
The multicast topology calculation of the TRILL-ISIS is to uniformly negotiate a nickname from the TRILL network topology as a tree root and execute SPF to calculate a distribution tree which is consistent with the whole network. The multicast distribution tree in a TRILL network may have multiple trees, and different nicknames are used as tree roots respectively for load sharing of multicast and broadcast. The Nickname is a Nickname of the RB, the nicknames of the RBs are different, and each RB can be configured with multiple nicknames.
In a TRILL network with multiple distribution trees in different network application scenarios, in order to meet different user needs, the RB requires to forward using distribution trees with different characteristics. For example: under the network application scene requiring small time delay, any RB in the TRILL network needs to select the distribution tree with the minimum maximum hop number to forward the multicast stream; in a network application scenario requiring high throughput, any RB in the TRILL network needs to use the distribution tree with the maximum MTU to forward the multicast stream.

The TRILL network node of the embodiment of the invention is a device supporting TRILL, and comprises an RB, a switch, a computer host and the like.
The scheme of the embodiment of the invention is illustrated by two application examples.
Application example 1:
as shown in fig. 5, RB1, RB2, RB3, and RB4 form a TRILL network, and the distribution tree root priorities of nicknames 1, nicknames 2, nicknames 3, and nicknames 4 are assumed to be 1, 2, 3, and 4 for nicknames 1, nicknames 2, nicknames 3, and nicknames 4.
Suppose that the TRILL network has two distribution trees, the tree roots of the distribution trees are nickname3 and nickname4, and the topological structures are respectively shown in fig. 6 and fig. 7. The TRILL network requires minimum transmission delay of multicast traffic.
In general, the number of hops determines the amount of delay of data packets transmitted in the network, and is particularly significant in large networks.
The maximum hop count of the distribution tree shown in fig. 6 is two hops, and one multicast data packet needs two hops at most to be transmitted throughout the entire TRILL network, so that all RBs of the TRILL network receive the traffic. If RB1 needs to send a single multicast traffic, then all RBs in the TRILL network are received via multicast propagation, requiring at most two hops. RB1 sends RB4 as the first hop, and RB4 sends this traffic to RB2 and RB3 as the second hop.
The maximum hop count of the distribution tree shown in fig. 7 is three hops, and one multicast data packet needs three hops at most to spread throughout the entire TRILL network, so that all RBs of the TRILL network receive the traffic. If RB1 needs to send a multicast stream, then all RBs in this TRILL network receive the multicast stream, requiring three hops at most. RB1 sends RB3 as the first hop, RB3 sends the multicast stream to RB4 as the second hop, and RB4 sends the multicast stream to RB2 as the third hop.
For RB1, transmitting a multicast data traffic, the distribution tree of fig. 6 has the smallest number of transmission hops and the smallest required delay compared to the distribution tree of fig. 7, so the distribution tree of fig. 6 is the best choice for forwarding data traffic.
According to the method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the distribution tree selection strategy of the TRILL network is configured on the RB4 with the highest nickname tree root priority as the maximum hop count minimum strategy of the distribution tree. RB4 carries a router capability TLV (routeracapability TLV) in the LSP packet, where the router capability TLV includes a distribution tree policy sub-TLV, and the policy is set to a distribution tree maximum hop count minimum policy.
After receiving the LSP sent by RB4, RB1 finds that it carries a router capability TLV (route capability TLV), where the router capability TLV includes a distribution tree policy sub-TLV, and sets the policy as a distribution tree maximum hop count minimum policy. Then, the RB1 selects nickname4 from the two distribution trees nickname4 and nickname3 calculated by itself as the distribution tree of the multicast traffic to send the multicast traffic, so as to meet the requirement of minimizing the transmission delay of the user multicast traffic.
Application example 2:
in this example, RB1, RB2, RB3, RB4(RB1 and RB3 belong to one network, and RB2 and RB4 belong to another network) originally belonging to different networks form a TRILL network as shown in fig. 5, and the root priorities of the distribution trees of nickname1, nickname2, nickname3, and nickname4 are 1, 2, 3, and 3. The system-ids of RB1, RB2, RB3 and RB4 are 1111.1111.1111, 2222.2222.2222, 3333.3333.3333 and 4444.4444.4444 respectively. The TRILL network is calculated by two distribution trees, the tree roots of the distribution trees are nickname3 and nickname4 respectively, and the topological structures are respectively shown in fig. 6 and fig. 7.
The nicknames 3 and 4 have the same priority and are the highest priority, and since RB3 and RB4 respectively belong to different TRILL networks before, RB3 and RB4 respectively configure different distribution tree selection strategies, RB3 configures a minimum maximum hop count strategy, and RB4 configures a maximum MTU strategy.
After receiving the LSP sent by RB3, RB1 finds that it carries a router capability TLV (route capability TLV), where the router capability TLV includes a distribution tree policy sub-TLV, and sets the policy as a distribution tree maximum hop count minimum policy. After receiving the LSP sent by RB4, RB1 finds that it carries a router CAPABILITY TLV (router CAPABILITY TLV), where the router CAPABILITY TLV includes a sub-TLV using a distribution tree policy, and sets the policy as a maximum policy of a distribution tree MTU. RB1 finds that the root priorities of the nickname trees of RB3 and RB4 are the same through calculation, and selects the distribution tree selection strategy sent by RB4 with the largest sysme-id, namely, the MTU maximum strategy of the distribution tree which is uniform in the whole network is executed. Then, when RB1 sends a multicast traffic, it selects the distribution tree with the largest distribution tree MTU, nickname3, to forward the traffic.
