SFP inquire the SFP of the message, and next hop address is inquired according to the SFP, so as to realize the forwarding of message.
Alternatively, after grader adds predetermined mark in messages, the next hop address of grader query message；Grader
Message is sent to next hop address.Wherein, grader is according to the SFPID of message, the next hop address of query message.
Add in messages before predetermined mark, can judge whether message is multicast by message content or forwarding strategy
Message.When adding predetermined mark into message, in the case where message is multicast message, by predetermined mark set；
In the case that message is not multicast message, predetermined mark is reset.
Alternatively, in the case where the next hop address inquired is multiple, message is copied into many parts by grader；Classification
Device sends the message for being copied into many parts to multiple next hop address.By this way, realize by a message send to
Multiple next hop address, and then send to multiple destination addresses.

Alternative embodiment of the present invention provides the method and system that one kind realizes the fork service chain of point-to-multipoint (PtMP),
To realize the support to multicast message, various multicast messages are realized with differentiated business is handled.
A kind of point-to-multipoint bifurcation structure SFC is provided in alternative embodiment of the present invention.If bifurcation structure SFC by
Dry business function node composition.In general the business function that multicast message needs arranges link by linear precedence.At least exist
Business chain needs bifurcated in the case of following two：
A. the destination host of multicast message is located at heterogeneous networks, and their some business functions are handled in respective network
(linear SFC but be bifurcated SFP)；
B. the different destination host of multicast message needs to carry out different business function processing (SFC of bifurcated).
Classifying equipoment (i.e. grader, Classifier) to multicast message when being classified, if the message is multicast report
Text, then distribute a bifurcated SFC head to the multicast message；If unicast message, then distributed to the unicast message
One linear SFC head.
The SFC heads of message set a bifurcated flag bit (equivalent to above-mentioned predetermined mark), for representing this SFC
Being one is used for the bifurcated SFC of multicast.
Classifying equipoment or SFF when parsing addressing to SFC heads, can also be inquired about when being forwarded to SFC messages
Bifurcated flag bit, if bifurcated flag bit set, and inquiry would have multiple next-hops (having multiple exit ports), then SFF
Message is replicated corresponding many parts, respectively from multiple exit ports, multiple next-hops are issued.Otherwise, directly forward the packet
To the next-hop inquired.
For chain of command, controller is according to the situation of the member of multicast address (for example, positional information, business processing are needed
Seek information etc.), according to information such as the topologys of business function entity being collected into, on demand (for example, meeting a, b situation)
Define the tactful and corresponding SFP of the corresponding fork service functional chain of the flux of multicast.Policy distribution is set to classification
Standby, classifying equipoment is message distribution SFC heads according to the strategy；The forwarding information in path be issued to corresponding SFF or
Person's classifying equipoment.Wherein, for the SFF of bifurcation, the forwarding information that controller is issued contains multiple next hop informations.
SFF is according to forwarding-table item (could be arranged to just inquire about the forwarding-table item in the case of carrying crossing sign position in messages)
Message is forwarded.
By such scheme, a kind of dichotomous SFC solutions suitable for multicast are introduced, it is possible to achieve one
Business function chain realizes a kind of processing mode of differentiation in processing multicast message, improves the flexibility of business function chain
And scalability.
Alternative embodiment of the present invention is described and illustrated below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
As shown in figure 12, source device S sends flux of multicast to purpose equipment D1 and equipment D2, and the flux of multicast needs
It is application gateway (AppFW) → Border Gateway (EdgeFW) → based on cable television system by business function chain
LAN (WLAN over CATV System, referred to as WOC), but because two destinations D1 and D2 are separated by
Farther out, or different network is belonged to, it is necessary to use different WOC (being respectively labeled as WOC1 and WOC2),
Therefore this SFC is set to a point-to-multipoint business function path SFP by controller, i.e.,：
AppFW→EdgeFW→WOC1
|→WOC2
Controller sets up such business function path and distributes SPFID according to strategy, gives these business function entity institutes
The SFF of connection issues the corresponding SFPID of bifurcated SFP, and the SFPID carries bifurcated mark, and this SFPID pairs
The information such as the next-hop answered.Wherein, according to business function entity topology, for bifurcated SFP bifurcation EdgeFW
The SFF of connection, it is necessary to be multiple next-hops to the SFF next hop informations issued, i.e., behind two WOC being connected
Address.
Flow is after S websites are sent, and the strategy before classifying equipoment Classifier foundations is contained to the assignment of traffic
SFPID SFC heads, the SPFID carries bifurcated mark.
A series of SFF below search next-hop according to the SFPID for carrying bifurcated mark, in AppFW connections
On SFF, due to the list item only one of which next-hop that controller is issued, so the SFF is transmitted to EdgeFW connections
SFF。
The SFF of EdgeFW connections also can inquire about next after EdgeFW processing is forwarded the message to according to SFPID
