For access network, evolution tendency of traditional OLT PON access networks towards SDN/NFV, it is desirable to provide Openflow exchange capacities.Its original access network part needs to transform access network facing the future, with Openflow exchange capacities as.As shown in Figure 3 a, 3 b, it is to have the access network equipment of Openflow exchange capacities is possible to realize structural representation in the embodiment of the present invention (i.e. Openflow Capable Switch realize structural representation in the possible of access device).The specific manifestation form that the SDN/NFV of the embodiment of the present invention opens openflow Capable Switch in access net system can have two kinds, be specifically as follows:OVS+OLT PON MAC+ONUs (shown in Fig. 3 a) and SDN OLT+ONUs (shown in Fig. 3 b).Wherein, Openflow Capable Switch are a generic concepts.Definition of the Openflow Capable Switch in OF-CONFIG1.2 standards be:One can provide a physics or virtual switching equipment for Openflow logical switch contexts.Openflow Capable Switch, which are included, can be instantiated by Openflow logical switch, manageable Openflow resources.
There is provided two of the access network equipment with Openflow exchange capacities kind specific implementation as shown in Figure 3 a, 3 b.As shown in Figure 3 a, access network equipment (access network equipment for being modeled as Openflow Capable Switch) with Openflow exchange capacities can include OVS and OLT PON MAC, wherein, OVS is located at the OLT PON MAC first line of a couplet, OLT PON MAC are located at multiple ONU (i.e. ONUs in Fig. 3 a) first line of a couplet, and OVS is interconnected by OLT PON MAC and ONUs.As shown in Figure 3 b, the access network equipment (access network equipment for being modeled as Openflow Capable Switch) with Openflow exchange capacities can include:SDN OLT, SDN OLT as multiple ONU (i.e. ONUs in Fig. 3 b) the first line of a couplet.Specific modeling details is not described here, and the embodiment of the present invention is also not restricted to both modes.
As shown in Figure 4, logic chart is implemented for SDN/NFV of embodiment of the present invention opening access net systems, show and implement logic in architecture shown in Fig. 1, it is also assumed that Fig. 4 is the logical architecture schematic diagram that OMCI manages ONU by SDN controllers southbound interface, omit OVS.OVS configuration protocol mainly has OF-Config1.2/Netconf, OVS database (OVSDB) etc..Openflow agreements are then primarily upon the forward process of definition and the flow table driving of flow table in itself.OVS can pass through SDN controller southbound interface management legacys ONU.In the embodiment of the present invention, ONU OMCI is managed with simulating traditional OLT by OF-Config1.2, realizes and SDN OLT or OLT PON MAC OMCI is managed.
As shown in figure 4, vOLT management physical entities OLT process includes:Traditional OLT position is replaced by SDN OLT/OLT PON MAC.In the embodiment of the present invention, conventional physical OLT is evolved to the basis that SDN OLT or OLT PON MAC, SDN OLT or OLT PON MAC provide the access network equipment with Openflow exchange capacities.But OLT hardware is inherently alerted in SDN OLT or OLT PON MAC, state still has, and directly can be managed and collected by vOLT.Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management information bank (MIB) on OLT on traditional OLT, above moves to management of the vOLT MIB offers to SDN OLT/OLT PON MAC, and management vOLT can divide the part physical resource of control.SDN OLT/OLT PON MAC are local resident there is no MIB.
As shown in figure 4, vOLT management physical entities ONU process includes:VOLT is managed by the way that OMCI origination messages are encapsulated in the data frame of southbound interface to long-range ONU.OMCI message, which is encapsulated by the south orientation configuration protocol such as OF-Config/Netconf and passes through Openflow exchange networks, reaches Openflow Capable Switch (i.e. SDN OLT+ONUs or OVS+OLT PON MAC+ONUs).This OMCI meets following SDN/NFV across Openflow network management legacys ONU mode by encapsulation and melts the evolution thinking for putting access network.
The embodiment of the present invention additionally provides a kind of SDN/NFV and opens the method that ONU is managed in access net system, and methods described includes:OMCI origination messages are encapsulated as management data frame by southbound interface mapping and give the access network equipment with Openflow exchange capacities by Openflow exchange networks by the vOLT configured on SDN controllers;The access network equipment with Openflow exchange capacities is decapsulated and Resealed processing to the management data frame, is restored OMCI message and is given ONU/ONT by ODN;The ONU/ONT receives the OMCI message, and carries out OMCI configurations.Here, OMCI message can be specifically ITU G.984.4OMCI message.
Further, the mapping of OMCI origination messages is encapsulated as managing data frame by the vOLT by OF-Config/Netconf.Specifically, the vOLT is by extending OF-Config/Netconf negotiation data channel pattern NDM, OMCI origination messages mapping is encapsulated as managing data frame.Here, the specific framework of the access network equipment with Openflow exchange capacities is being described above, repeats no more.
As shown in figure 4, vOLT management physics OLT and ONU flow can include substantially:
Step 401:The framing that vOLT offer OMCI origination messages are encapsulated into southbound interface (according to the south orientation such as OF-Config/Netconf configuration protocol) manages data frame, is sent to SDN OLT or OLT PON MAC.VOLT uses XML language by OF-Config/Netconf encapsulation, can also extend the OMCI mib informations in transmission ONU;
Step 402:SDN OLT or OLT PON MAC will manage data frame termination by the OMCI processing modules in SDN Agent, by decapsulation, peel off after OF-Config encapsulation and be encapsulated as traditional OMCI message of ITU-T G.984.4 forms;
Step 403:OMCI message is sent to ONU by SDN OLT or OLT PON MAC by traditional PON interfaces, local in ONU, and the operation such as OMCI configurations, management, information is carried out by OMCI Agent, OMCI MIB and ONU data acquisition modules.The local OMCI MIB forms of ONU are constant, and SDN OLT or OLT PON MAC are given yet by OMCI report and alarms or state etc..
Wherein, traditional OLT reserves 255 GemPort (including OMCC passages) to every PON mouthfuls, and the ONU hung under OLT is managed by fixed reserved management passage.This characteristic of correspondence, SDN controllers and SDN Agent can realize that vOLT to ONU management passage is isolated by allocation manager IP and reserved TCP port.The method of salary distribution of IP+TCP ports can be handled by SDN controllers by the way of dynamic or static configuration, support the distribution of multiple management IP and its lower TCP port.
Because TCP connections can provide reliable data cube computation management passage.VOLT management ONU OMCI message is reached after physical entity OLT, manage reserved Gemport mapping by TCP port and tradition OLT by SDN Agent again, OMCI messages are still sent to respective ONU by traditional OLT to ONU optical network unit management and control channel (OMCC, Optical Network Unit Management and Control Channel).The management framework of this sections of SDN OLT/OLT PON MAC to ONU remains unchanged.
How it is further described with reference to Fig. 5, Fig. 6, Fig. 7, Fig. 8 by OF-Config/Nefconf encapsulation OMCI message.
As shown in figure 5, being the manageable OVS resources schematic diagrames of Openflow Resource in OF-Config1.2.As shown in figure 5, in the management of typical Openflow interchangers, usual controller uses OF-Config, OVS DB.Although Netconf and OpenFlow can provide the communication between controller software and equipment, two agreements are entirely different at many aspects.Netconf is a configuration protocol, and OpenFlow is how incoming by routeing in specified packet in flow table.OpenFlow interchanger is configured using OF-Config, and OF-Config more stresses the YANG model modelings exchanged for OVS, is communicated using Netconf and its extension with new Openflow Switch equipment.Shown in figure, Openflow Resources are defined for managing resource related to Openflow characteristics in OVS in OF-Config data model.It is inappropriate directly using typical case Openflow Resources in OF-Config data model for OMCI origination messages.
As shown in fig. 6, including the manageable OVS resources schematic diagrames of NDM class Openflow Resource in OF-Config1.2 of the embodiment of the present invention.As shown in fig. 6, the embodiment of the present invention defines negotiation data channel pattern (NDM, Negotiable Datapath Model) in OF-Config1.2.NDM main function is:Different manufacturers, the OVS interchangers of different qualities more flexible and convenient configure so as to follow-up by consulting NDM abilities with controller, drives OVS progress Openflow forwardings.Meanwhile, NDM may also be used for extension, to meet the specific demand of different equipment.OMCI origination messages are exactly that NDM messages are extended in the embodiment of the present invention, so as to carry out OMCI message encapsulation.
Wherein, OF-Config/Netconf agreements are obtained using extensible markup language (XML) as configuration data and the coded system of protocol message with C/S and RPC modes, corresponding some or all management informations in renewal or sweep equipment.XML can express the management object of complicated, with internal logical relationship modelling, substantially increase operating efficiency and objective metric, the message that class Master Information Block (MIB) can be provided or the data encapsulation for continuing to use traditional MIB, it is convenient to be interacted with the OMCI MIB on ONU, with powerful scalability.
As shown in fig. 7, being OF-Config/Netconf of embodiment of the present invention protocol hierarchies and the data being respectively layered encapsulation example schematic diagram.OF-Config/Netconf protocol encapsulation, it is seen that OF-Config operation fields can be to map OMCI typical operation.
As shown in figure 8, the mapping relations schematic diagram encapsulated for OMCI of the embodiment of the present invention by OF-Config/Netconf.Mapping relations according to Fig. 8, OMCI various typical operations can be packaged by the corresponding operations of OF-Config.G.984.4OMCI origination message can be encapsulated into OF-Config/Netconf by controller simply parsing and carries out data transmission (i.e. from SDN controller to SDN change new vOLT) ITU-T produced by vOLT.
In the embodiment of the present invention, how specifically to be encapsulated by XML language used in OF-Config/Netconf for OMCI origination messages, example is as follows:Message Type and Device identifier type fields in one OMCI Create message, its message are recognized and parsed by controller, into XML canned software processing modules.The core of the XML canned software processing modules is the OMCI over Netconf Yang models by privately owned extension.By OMCI over Netconf Yang model modelings in XML canned software processing modules, original OMCI message is transmitted by conversion and by XML data section.It is transmitted except Message Type and Device identifier type all fields can all be encapsulated into XML data section, reaches SDN OLT/OLT PON MAC.SDN agencies (Agent) on SDN OLT/OLT PON MAC are by decapsulation packet, then revert to OMCI origination messages and continue to pass to ONU.Whole encapsulation process corresponding relation is clear, and processing is simple.Other kinds of OMCI messages encapsulation process is repeated no more.
Similar protocol extension can also be carried out according to OMCI over OF-Config thinking for OMCI over OVS DB, its implementation is also within the scope of the embodiment of the present invention.For EPON system, ONU management is managed by OAM message, through being packaged by OF-Config after the extension by the present invention, therefore EPON system OAM message manages ONU framework also within the protection domain of the embodiment of the present invention by OF-Config.
Pass through the embodiment of the present invention, SDN OLT or OLT PON MAC in access network are opened by improved SDN, the OVS that Openflow Capable Switch and data center can be modeled as directly is interconnected, and the possibility of new management framework transformation is provided for traditional ONU management.
Further, applied with the vOLT on SDN controllers as management source, by the way that OMCI origination messages are carried out into OF-Config message encapsulation, the SDN Agent modules decapsulation in SDN OLT/OLT PON MAC is sent to by OVS networks, and remap and be reduced to the OMCI message of traditional ITU-T G.984.4 forms, realize management mode point-to-multipoint between OLT and ONU.The present invention takes full advantage of original ODN network architectures, the management process for simplify the configuration of SDN controllers, safeguarding, update ONU.Also, the embodiment of the present invention is easily extended and quickly upgrading is docked with the new exchange networks of Openflow, is improved the efficiency of management, is reduced management cost.
