Description

Method, device and system for establishing service path
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, and a system for establishing a service path.
Background
The base station backhaul traffic includes east-west traffic between the base station and the base station, in addition to north-south traffic between the base station and the core network. Typical south-bound traffic in related art wireless networks is S1 traffic and east-west traffic is X2 traffic.
The wireless backhaul bearer schemes in the related art include two-layer transparent Virtual Private Network (VPN for short), L2VPN + three-layer transparent Virtual Private Network L3VPN, and hierarchical L3 VPN. For the L2VPN + L3VPN scheme, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an L2VPN + L3VPN service bearer scheme in the related art according to the present invention, see fig. 1, where an eNodeB is a base station network element, and an X2 service between base stations needs to be forwarded through a bridge point, which is performed to avoid establishing a full-connection L2VPN tunnel between base stations, thereby simplifying a network. But the disadvantage is that the nearby forwarding of the base station east-west traffic cannot be achieved. For the hierarchical L3VPN scheme, fig. 2 is a hierarchical L3VPN service bearer scheme in the related art according to the present invention, and as shown in fig. 2, the problem exists that similar to L2VPN + L3VPN, the eastern and western traffic between base stations needs to be forwarded through a default gateway, because the access PE generally only has a route to an all-IP Packet Core (EPC for short) and does not have a route of other access PEs, which can reduce the requirement for the access device routing table capability and reduce the network construction cost.
With the development of wireless technology, the east-west traffic between base stations becomes more and more important, and besides the explosive growth of traffic, the requirement for delay becomes higher and higher, and both of the above two schemes cause the traffic to bypass through upper nodes, resulting in the waste of return network bandwidth and the increase of traffic delay, so we need to establish a nearby connection between the access PEs. The prior art has two methods to realize the requirement of the nearby forwarding:
the bearer network needs to know in advance which wireless base stations have the need for east-west traffic, and then establishes a corresponding connection in advance. This results in a strong coupling between the bearer network and the radio and is not easy to implement.
The bearer network does not care about the need of east-west traffic between base stations, but establishes full mesh (full mesh) connection for all base stations, so that traffic of any base station can be forwarded nearby. However, this method results in too many connections and consumes too much network resources.
In view of the above problems in the related art, no effective solution has been found so far.

the optional embodiment relates to a forwarding device (PE device) and a controller running MPLS/MPLS-TP L3VPN, and implements on-demand traffic path establishment through interaction between the forwarding device and the controller.
As shown in fig. 4, compared to a conventional network, the present embodiment introduces a controller, and implements the content of the present invention through centralized management of the network by the controller and interaction of the forwarding device and the controller. The centralized management of the controller includes: routing management, routing distribution, path calculation, and the like.
Fig. 9 is a network architecture diagram according to an alternative embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 9, a reporting module 90 (corresponding to the reporting module in fig. 8) for introducing a connection establishment request in a PE device includes:
s21, the CE1 device sends a message to the PE device by using the IP address of the CE1 device as a source IP and the IP address of the CE2 device as a destination IP, and as the initial state of the PE device in the prior art does not have the routing information of the CE2, the exit of the service cannot be found in a routing table, and further forwarding cannot be realized;
s22, PE1 sends the service sending request to the connection establishment request reporting module, and the module reports to the controller to request for establishing connection;
after receiving the connection establishment request, the controller executes the following steps:
s31, managing the route list of each PE device in the network, including the private network route between CE and PE and the public network route between PE and PE;
s32, receiving a connection establishment request reported by the PE equipment, wherein the connection establishment request comprises information such as a source node, a source IP and a destination IP;
s33, the controller searches the route list according to the destination IP, finds out the corresponding destination network element, and establishes a path between the source node and the destination node, the path can be MPLS tunnel or MPLS-TP tunnel.
S34, the route distribution is carried out between the PE with path connection, the private network route learned between the PE and the CE is distributed to other far-end PE, and the function similar to the distributed route protocol is realized. As PE1 learns about routes to CE1 (which may be learned via dynamic routing protocols or via static routing configurations), the controller may publish the routes of PE1 to other required PE devices. If a tunnel connection is established between PE2 and PE1, it is considered that PE1 and PE2 need to publish routes to each other, and the controller publishes the route of CE1 learned by PE1 to PE 2.
S35, the connection between PE1 and PE2 is established through path establishment and route distribution.
Next, a specific embodiment of the present invention that carries LTE base station services in a packet network and establishes an X2 service path between base stations as needed is described, and fig. 10 is a schematic diagram of establishing an X2 service path between base stations according to an alternative embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 10.
There is a need for eastern and western traffic between base station 1 and base station 2, but the bearer network does not set up a connection for these two base stations in advance, and needs to set up a path connection between access PE1 and access PE2 by a service driver or a service request.
The establishing process of the service path comprises the following steps:
s41, configuring interface IP of PE1 and IP of base station 1 in the same network segment, and interface IP of PE2 and IP of base station 2 in the same network segment.
S42, configuring static route from PE1 to base station 1, and configuring static route from PE2 to base station 2.
S43, the controller obtains the route information of all PE in the whole network to form a global route list.
S44, the base station 1 sends out an IP message to the base station 2, the source IP carried by the message is the IP address of the base station 1, and the destination IP is the IP address of the base station 2.
S45, the access PE1 receives the service message sent by the base station 1, because the PE1 only has the route to the base station 1 and does not have the route to the base station 2, the route table cannot be found, and the service is sent to the service path establishment request reporting module.
And S46, the reporting module sends the request to the controller.
S47, the controller receives the service establishment request reported by the access PE1, the request content includes the source IP and the destination IP information, and the controller finds that the target network element is the access PE2 through the destination IP.
S48, the controller establishes a tunnel from PE1 to PE2, the tunnel using the shortest path without detour through other nodes.
S49, the controller routes each other between PE1 and PE2, so that PE1 obtains the route of base station 2, and PE2 also obtains the route of base station 1.
The connection between the base station 1 and the base station 2 is established, and the subsequent service message from the base station 1 to the base station 2 can be directly forwarded through the path without sending a controller.
The embodiment shows that the method has simple processing flow, strong operability and strong practical value in the packet network.
By the service path establishment mechanism of the embodiment, the on-demand path establishment driven by the service can be realized in the L3VPN network of MPLS/MPLS-TP. The existing service bearing mechanism is changed, namely the service bearing can be realized only by establishing a path in advance, and the connection is established by service driving. The effect of separating service and bearing is achieved, the number of connections of the bearing network is greatly reduced, and the network efficiency is improved. The service opening operation can be realized more flexibly, more accurately and more conveniently by an operator.
