In this embodiment, exist when MS is inquired in itself multicast group address of storage and the mapping relations of position index When the first multicast group address, MS can further inquire itself storage the first multicast group address mapping position index whether include First position index inquires the mapping relations for itself whether being stored with the first multicast group address and the first index.
If including i.e. MS itself has stored the mapping relations of the first multicast group with the first index, then MS can update The first multicast group address ageing timer corresponding with the mapping relations of the first position index of itself storage, that is, it is fixed to reset the aging When device;
If not including, i.e. the mapping relations of not stored first multicast group of MS itself and the first index, then MS can be at itself Increase by the first position index in the position index of the first multicast group address mapping of storage, and starts corresponding ageing timer.
As an alternative embodiment, in embodiments of the present invention, MS receives logon message, and is reported according to registration When the mapping relations of multicast group address and position index the maintenance multicast group address and position index that are carried in text, it can also correspond to The source address of the mapping relations of multicast group address and position index storage logon message (is sent to the IP of the XTR of logon message Address).
Correspondingly, when MS according to the multicast group address that is carried in the logon message received self maintained multicast group In the mapping relations of location and position index, when having found the position index of the multicast group address mapping carried in the logon message, MS The multicast group address (multicast group address carried in logon message) mapping can be inquired according to the source address of logon message Position index information, it is determined whether there are the position index information of the source address;If it exists, then according to the position carried in the logon message The position index information of the source address of index upgrade itself storage is (if they are the same, then constant;If it is different, then store itself should The position index of source address is updated to the position index carried in logon message), and update corresponding ageing timer;If it does not exist, The position index information for then increasing multicast group address mapping newly, records corresponding source address, and start corresponding ageing timer.
Step 103, when receive the 2nd XTR transmission position index request message when, according in the position index request message The multicast group of the second multicast group address inquiry self maintained carried and the mapping relations of position index.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the 2nd XTR and the XTR for being not specific to a certain fixation, but may refer in LISP network Any XTR;Wherein, the first XTR can be same XTR (for different multicast groups) from the 2nd XTR, be also possible to different XTR.
In the embodiment of the present invention, when the 2nd XTR receives multicast message, and determine belonging to itself not stored multicast message When the position index information of the multicast group address mapping of multicast group, the 2nd XTR can send position index request message, this rope to MS Draw the multicast group address that multicast group belonging to the multicast message is carried in request message.
When MS receives the position index request message of the 2nd XTR transmission, taken in the available position index request message of MS The multicast group address (referred to herein as the second multicast group address) of band, and self maintained is inquired according to the multicast group address information The mapping relations of multicast group address and position index, to determine the corresponding position index information of the second multicast group address.
The position index that the second multicast group address inquired maps is sent to the 2nd XTR by step 104, so that the 2nd XTR Multicast message forwarding is carried out according to the position index of the second multicast group address mapping.
It, can be second group by this after MS inquires the position index of the second multicast group address mapping in the embodiment of the present invention The position index for broadcasting group address mapping is sent to the 2nd XTR;When 2nd XTR receives the position index of the second multicast group address mapping, Multicast message forwarding can be carried out according to the position index of the second multicast group address mapping received.Wherein, XTR is according to position index The realization for carrying out multicast message forwarding may refer to the associated description in method flow shown in Fig. 2, and the embodiment of the present invention is herein not It repeats.
As an alternative embodiment, in above-mentioned steps 104, by the position of the second multicast group address inquired mapping Index is sent to the 2nd XTR, may include:
When the position index of the second multicast group address mapping inquired is multiple, by the more of the second multicast group address mapping A position index result after being added is sent to the 2nd XTR.
In this embodiment, in the mapping relations that MS inquires the multicast group address that itself is stored and position index, the When the position index of two multicast group address mapping is multiple, i.e. the second multicast group address has mapped multiple position indexes, and MS can should Multiple position index results after being added are sent to the 2nd XTR.
As an example it is assumed that MS inquire the second multicast group address mapping position index include: 0001,0010 and 0100, then it can be 0111 (0001+0010+0100) that MS, which is sent to the position index information of the 2nd XTR,.
Further, in embodiments of the present invention, it is contemplated that in the repeating process of multicast message, might have in multicast group New multicast receivers are added, and correspondingly, the mapping relations of multicast group address and position index are it can also happen that change, at this point, MS Need to notify the XTR of the index information of requested multicast group address mapping, so as to its can timely update multicast group address and position The mapping relations of index guarantee that the multicast receivers being newly added can also receive multicast message.
Accordingly, as a kind of optional embodiment, method for forwarding multicast message provided in an embodiment of the present invention may be used also To include:
When the position index of multicast group address mapping any in itself multicast class value of storage and the mapping relations of position index is sent out When changing, according to the information of the XTR of the position index of requested multicast group address of self record mapping, to the requested group The XTR for broadcasting the position index of group address mapping sends the mapping relations of the multicast group address and position index after variation.
In this embodiment, MS can monitor itself multicast group address of storage and whether the mapping relations of position index are sent out Changing, for example, MS can periodically or periodically (period can set according to actual scene) monitors the multicast that itself is stored Whether group address and the mapping relations of position index change or MS can be every time when receiving logon message, and judging should The mapping relations of multicast group address and position index that whether logon message can cause itself to store change.
When MS monitors that any multicast group address maps in itself multicast group address of storage and the mapping relations of position index Position index when changing, MS can be according to the XTR's for the position index that requested multicast group address of self record maps Information, the XTR of the position index mapped to the requested multicast group address change after the multicast group address and position index Mapping relations, thus, which can carry out multicast message according to the mapping relations of multicast group address and position index after the variation Forwarding.
Wherein, to achieve the goals above, in this embodiment, when MS receives the position index request report of XTR transmission Wen Shi, MS need record send the position index request message XTR information (such as source IP address of the index request message) with And the multicast group address carried in the index request message, so that the position index of the multicast group address mapping of XTR request occurs When variation, MS can notify the XTR in time.
As an example it is assumed that the position index that MS monitors that multicast group address 1 maps becomes 0001 and 0010, and MS from 0001 The XTR for the position index that the requested multicast group address 1 of record maps is XTR1, then MS can send the multicast after variation to XTR The mapping relations (i.e. multicast group address 1-0011 (0001+0010=0011)) of group address 1 and position index.
Fig. 2 is referred to, Fig. 2 is a kind of flow diagram for method for forwarding multicast message that present invention implementation provides, such as Fig. 2 Shown, which may comprise steps of:
It should be noted that in embodiments of the present invention, step 201~step 205 executing subject can be to apply The processor of XTR or XTR in the BIER network of LISP protocol, such as CPU, for ease of description, below with step 201~step For 205 executing subject is XTR.
Step 201, when receiving multicast message, obtain the multicast group address that carries in multicast message.
Step 202 judges the position index information for itself whether being stored with multicast group address mapping.If so, going to step 205;Otherwise, step 203 is gone to.
Multicast group in the embodiment of the present invention, when XTR receives multicast message, in the available multicast message of XTR Address, and itself multicast group address of storage and the mapping relations of position index are inquired according to the multicast group address, judge that itself is The no position index information for being stored with multicast group address mapping.
Step 203 sends the position index request message for being directed to the multicast group address to MS.
In the embodiment of the present invention, when XTR determines that itself is not stored with having the multicast group carried in the multicast message received When the index information of location mapping, XTR can send position index request message to MS, need to carry in the position index request message The multicast group address carried in the multicast message that XTR is received.
MS receive XTR transmission position index request message after processing mode may refer in method flow shown in Fig. 1 Associated description, details are not described herein for the embodiment of the present invention.
Step 204, the position index for receiving the multicast group address mapping that MS is sent, and according to the position index received to multicast Message is forwarded.
In the embodiment of the present invention, when XTR receives the position index of multicast group address mapping of MS transmission, XTR can root Multicast message is forwarded according to the position index received.
Specifically, XTR can search position index forwarding table according to the position index received, and according to the forwarding table found , BIER encapsulation are carried out to multicast message, and the message after encapsulation is forwarded, later, which turns through BIER Hair carries out message duplication according to position index forwarding table, is finally reached each receiving device (each multicast receivers in forward-path The XTR of access);After receiving device receives message, remove the BIER head of message, and correspondence is forwarded the message to according to multicast IP Host.
Step 205 is forwarded multicast message according to the position index information of the multicast group address mapping of itself storage.
In the embodiment of the present invention, if XTR is inquired the multicast group carried in the multicast message received is locally stored The position index information of location mapping, then XTR can be according to the position index information of the multicast group address mapping of itself storage to multicast Message is forwarded, and specific implementation may refer to the associated description in step 204, and details are not described herein for the embodiment of the present invention.
Further, in embodiments of the present invention, when XTR receives the mapping of the multicast group address and position index of MS transmission When relationship, XTR (can include in the mapping relations of the multicast group address and position index for receiving according to the multicast group address Multicast group address) the local position index information for whether being stored with multicast group address mapping of inquiry;If the group has been locally stored The position index information of group address mapping is broadcast, then is to receive by the position index information update of the multicast group address being locally stored mapping To the mapping relations in include position index.
Further, in embodiments of the present invention, it joins message when XTR receives IGMP and (has host request under our station Multicast group is added) when, XTR can send logon message to MS, and the address cluster of the EID in the logon message be the BIER extended Location cluster carries IGMP in the logon message and joins message the position rope of multicast group address and itself (i.e. XTR) that request is added Draw, so that MS reflecting according to multicast group address and position index the maintenance multicast group address and position index carried in the logon message Relationship is penetrated, specific implementation may refer to the associated description in method flow shown in Fig. 1, and the embodiment of the present invention is no longer superfluous herein It states.
As it can be seen that by the way that LISP protocol to be applied in BIER technology, and passing through in Fig. 1 and method flow shown in Fig. 2 The MAP mapping of LISP protocol carrys out the mapping relations of dynamic lookup multicast group address and position index, extends IGP with passing through (Interior Gateway Protocol, Interior Gateway Protocol) agreement is closed to carry the mapping of multicast group address and position index The realization of system is compared, and the mapping relations of multicast group address and position index do not need all devices being flooded in BIER network, and It needs to be stored in MS and flux of multicast entrance, simplifies the deployment of BIER network.
