Referring to fig. 2, the networking architecture includes data transmission devices 110a and 110b, a backbone network 120, a Broadband Remote Access Server (BRAS) 130, and data reception devices 140a, 140b, and 140 c. The backbone network 120 may include a plurality of network devices for data transmission. The plurality of network devices includes router 120a, router 120b, router 120c, and router 120 d.
Each data transmitting device in fig. 2 may communicate with each data receiving device. The data sending device 110a transmits the data packet to the BRAS 130 through network devices in the backbone network 120, such as the router 120a, the router 120b, the router 120c, and the router 120 d. The BRAS 130 forwards the data to the data receiving device 140 a.
In fig. 2, when network devices such as the router 120a, the router 120b, the router 120c, and the router 120d included in the backbone network 120 perform data transmission, there is a technical problem that "if an NP on an LPU board fails, the network devices cannot perform data transmission processing" mentioned in the background section.

In the network device provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the port on the LPU board for inputting and/or outputting data is connected to the switching network board through the direct connection channel, so that if an NP on the LPU board fails, the network device can control to input data on the failed LPU board, and transmit the data to the switching network board through the direct connection channel between the port for inputting the data and the switching network board, so that the network device can transmit the data to the switching network board for data transmission processing. In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, under the condition of NP failure on the LPU board, ports on other LPU boards are not occupied, so that the number of available ports is sufficient.

And the second LPU single board transmits the data and the flow table item matched with the data to the switch network board through the second NP. And the switching network board forwards the data according to the flow table item matched with the data.
Under the condition that a second NP of the second LPU single board fails, the main control board controls data input to the second LPU single board to be transmitted to the switching network board through a direct connection channel between a port for inputting the data and the switching network board, and controls the switching network board to transmit the data to a first NP of the first LPU single board. And the first LPU single board transmits the data and the flow table item matched with the data to the switch network board through the first NP. And the switching network board forwards the data according to the flow table item matched with the data.
Fig. 4 schematically illustrates a data transmission process performed by an NP (first NP) of a backup LPU board (first LPU board) by taking a second NP failure of the second LPU board as an example. For the case of a failure of the first NP of the first LPU board, the data transmission process performed by the second NP of the second LPU board is similar, and is not described herein again.
In the embodiment of the present invention, in the process of forwarding the data by the switch board according to the flow table entry matched with the data, a port for outputting the data can be determined according to the flow table entry matched with the data. And if the port for outputting the data is determined to be the port of the failed LPU single board according to the flow table item matched with the data, the switching network board outputs the data to the port for outputting the data on the failed LPU single board through a direct connection channel between the switching network board and the port for outputting the data. And if the port for outputting the data is determined to be the port of the backup LPU single board of the failed LPU single board according to the flow table entry matched with the data, outputting the data to the port for outputting the data on the backup LPU single board of the failed LPU single board through the NP of the backup LPU single board of the failed LPU single board.
Under the condition that a first NP of a first LPU single board fails, if the port for outputting the data is determined to be the port of the first LPU single board according to the flow table item matched with the data, the switching network board outputs the data to the port for outputting the data on the first LPU single board through a direct connection channel between the switching network board and the port for outputting the data. If the port for outputting the data is determined to be the port of the second LPU board according to the flow table entry matched with the data, the switching network board outputs the data to the port for outputting the data on the second LPU board through a second NP connected with the port for outputting the data on the second LPU board.

In fig. 5, when the second NP of the second LPU board fails, the network device determines, according to the flow table entry matched with the data, that the port outputting the data is the port of the second LPU board, and then the switch network board outputs the data to the port outputting the data on the second LPU board through a direct connection channel between the switch network board and the port outputting the data.
In the embodiment of the present invention, by setting a backup LPU board for each LPU board in the network device, processing of data transmission based on a flow table entry in the NP can be implemented when any LPU board fails.
In the embodiment of the present invention, in the event of an NP failure of an LPU board, a main control board controls data input to the failed LPU board, and transmits the data to an exchange network board via a direct connection channel between a port for inputting the data and the exchange network board, and controls the exchange network board to transmit the data to an NP of a backup LPU board of the failed LPU board, and performs data transmission processing by the backup LPU board of the failed LPU board. In order to balance the load among the LPU boards, the main control board of the network device may determine the load condition of each LPU board before controlling the switching network board to transmit the data to the NP of the backup LPU board of the LPU board having the fault, and if it is determined that an LPU board having a load smaller than the load of the backup LPU board of the LPU board having the fault exists in the LPU boards of the network device, may control the LPU board having the load smaller than the load of the backup LPU board of the LPU board having the fault to store the flow table entry in the NP of the LPU board having the load smaller than the load of the backup LPU board of the LPU board having the fault, and control the switching network board to transmit the data of the LPU board having the fault to the NP of the LPU board having the load smaller than the load of the backup LPU board of the LPU board having the fault.
In the embodiment of the present invention, after the main control board controls the switching network board to transmit the data of the failed LPU board to the NP of the LPU board whose load is smaller than the load of the backup LPU board of the failed LPU board, the backup LPU board of the failed LPU board may control the backup LPU board to delete the flow table entry in the NP of the failed LPU board stored in the NP of the backup LPU board of the failed LPU board, so as to release the storage resource of the second NP and reduce the load of the second LPU board.
In the embodiment of the present invention, an example in which an LPU board includes a first LPU board, a second LPU board, and a third LPU board is described.
It is assumed that, when a first NP of a first LPU board fails, a second NP of a second LPU board stores a flow entry in the first NP of the first LPU board. If the main control board determines that the load of a third NP in a third LPU board is smaller than the second NP, the main control board controls the third LPU board to store the flow entry in the third NP, and controls the switch network board to transmit the data to the third NP, where a schematic diagram of a data transmission path is shown in fig. 6.
