Description

Tunnel online method and device
Technical Field
The present application relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a tunnel online method and apparatus.
Background
An EVPE (Ethernet Virtual Private Network) networking, as shown in fig. 1, includes a plurality of edge devices, such as devices 101, 102 shown in fig. 1, and internal devices, such as devices 103, 104 shown in fig. 1. The different devices send the route announcement to each other to establish the tunnel, and the communication among the different devices is realized through the tunnel. The tunnel on each device has two states, which are UP (UP line) state and DOWN (DOWN line) state. If the tunnel is in an UP state, the tunnel is UP on the edge device, the device can receive the traffic sent by the tunnel, namely, the traffic sent by the tunnel can be identified and processed, and the traffic can be forwarded to other devices through the tunnel; if the tunnel is in a DOWN state, the tunnel is DOWN on the edge device, and the device cannot receive the traffic sent through the tunnel, that is, cannot identify the traffic sent through the tunnel, and cannot forward the traffic to other devices through the tunnel.
Currently, taking a tunnel between an edge device and an internal device as an example, a process of UP a tunnel on a device includes: the internal device sends a route advertisement to the edge device; after receiving the route announcement, the edge device establishes a tunnel with the internal device, and sets the tunnel to be in an UP state, wherein the tunnel is UP on the edge device; in addition, the edge device sends a response notice of the route notice to the internal device; at this time, the tunnel is in a DOWN state on the internal device, after receiving the response notification, the internal device changes the tunnel from the DOWN state to an UP state, and the tunnel is UP on the internal device, and the internal device can send traffic to the edge device through the tunnel.
As can be seen from the above situation, the tunnel on the edge device precedes the tunnel UP on the internal device, which causes the traffic sent to the internal device through the tunnel on the edge device to continue to lose packets during the period from the UP of the tunnel on the edge device to the UP of the tunnel on the internal device.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
At present, in an EVPE networking, the UP time of the same tunnel on different devices is not synchronous, which easily causes that the later UP device cannot receive the traffic sent by the first UP device within a period of time before the two devices are both UP, resulting in continuous traffic packet loss.
Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a tunnel UP method provided in the embodiment of the present application, which is applied to a network device. The Network device may be a device for Network communication, such as a VTEP (Virtual Extensible Local Area Network Tunnel End Point), an RR (Route Reflector), and the like.
The tunnel UP method applied to the network equipment comprises the following steps:
s201: receiving a first route announcement sent by opposite-end network equipment; the first route advertisement includes an identifier of a network to which the peer network device belongs.
S202: if the identifier of the network to which the opposite-end network equipment belongs is the same as the identifier of the network to which the network equipment belongs, establishing a tunnel corresponding to the network to which the opposite-end network equipment belongs with the opposite-end network equipment;
s203: setting the tunnel to be in a READY state; the READY state is used for indicating that the network equipment supports receiving the flow through the tunnel and does not support forwarding the flow through the tunnel;
s204, sending a first query message aiming at the tunnel to opposite-end network equipment;
s205: and if receiving a first response message sent by the opposite terminal network equipment when the local tunnel is inquired to be in a READY state, setting the tunnel to be in an UP state.
The route advertisement may be a MAC (Media Access Control)/IP (internet protocol) route advertisement, an IMET (International Mobile equipment identity) route advertisement, or an IP prefix route advertisement, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.
In an embodiment of the present application, after a network device joins a network, BGP sends a route advertisement to other network devices, and establishes a tunnel with the other network devices. The route advertisement includes an identifier of a network to which the network device belongs. In practical application, if the tunnel to be established is a VXLAN tunnel, the identifier of the network carried in the route advertisement is the identifier of the VXLAN to which the network device belongs.
When detecting that the identifiers of the network to which the opposite-end network device and the network device belong are the same, for example, the identifier of the VXLAN to which the opposite-end network device belongs is the same as the identifier of the VXLAN to which the network device belongs, the network device and the opposite-end network device establish a tunnel corresponding to the VXLAN. Here, on the network device, the source address of the tunnel is the address of the network device, and the destination address of the tunnel is the address of the opposite network device; on the opposite terminal network device, the source address of the tunnel is the address of the opposite terminal network device, and the destination address of the tunnel is the address of the network device.
After the network device establishes a tunnel with the opposite-end network device, the network device sets the tunnel to be in a READY state, the network device can receive the traffic sent by the opposite-end network device through the tunnel, and identifies the traffic sent by the opposite-end network device through the tunnel, but cannot forward the traffic to the opposite-end network device through the tunnel. At this time, if the tunnel is UP on the peer network device first, the network device may also receive and identify and process the traffic sent by the peer network device through the tunnel, thereby effectively avoiding packet loss of the traffic sent by the peer network device to the network device.
In an embodiment of the present application, in order to avoid an excessive and repeated UP of a tunnel and increase the burden of a network device, after the network device establishes the tunnel with an opposite-end network device, the tunnel may be set to a DOWN state first, at this time, the network device cannot receive traffic sent by the opposite-end network device through the tunnel, cannot identify and process traffic sent by the opposite-end network device through the tunnel, and cannot forward the traffic to the opposite-end network device through the tunnel; the network equipment inquires whether other tunnels with source addresses as the addresses of the network equipment and destination addresses as the addresses of opposite-end network equipment exist locally; if not, setting the tunnel to be in a READY state; if the tunnel exists, the tunnel may be kept in the DOWN state, or the tunnel may be deleted, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.
After the tunnel is set to be in a READY state, the network equipment sends a first query message to opposite-end network equipment through BGP (border gateway protocol); if the opposite-end network equipment inquires that the local tunnel is in a READY state according to the first inquiry message, a first response message is fed back to the network equipment by BGP; and after receiving the first response message, the network equipment sets the tunnel to be in an UP state. At this time, if the tunnel on the network device is UP before the tunnel on the peer network device, and the tunnel on the peer network device is not UP yet, that is, the tunnel on the peer network device is READY state, the network device may send traffic to the peer network device through the tunnel, and the peer network device may also receive and identify the processing traffic through the tunnel, thereby reducing the traffic packet loss sent by the network device to the peer network device.
If the opposite-end network device inquires that the local tunnel is in a READY state according to the first inquiry message, the tunnel can be directly set to be in an UP state. In this way, the peer network device can receive the traffic sent by the network device through the tunnel, perform identification processing on the traffic sent by the network device through the tunnel, and forward the traffic to the network device through the tunnel. At this time, the tunnel is UP at the peer network device, the tunnel on the network device is READY, and the network device can receive and identify and process the traffic sent through the tunnel, thereby effectively reducing packet loss of the traffic sent from the peer network device to the network device.
In addition, if the opposite-end network device inquires that the local tunnel is in the DOWN state according to the first inquiry message, the first inquiry message is not processed.
In an embodiment of the present application, in order to accelerate the UP of the tunnel between the network device and the peer network device, the network device may also actively send a second route advertisement to the peer network device; the opposite terminal network equipment establishes a tunnel with the network equipment according to the second route announcement, sets the tunnel in a READY state, and sends a second query message to the network equipment; when the network equipment inquires the READY state of the local tunnel, the tunnel is set to be in an UP state, and a second response message is fed back to the opposite terminal network equipment; and after receiving the second response message, the opposite terminal network equipment sets the tunnel to be in an UP state.
