Description

Mixed networking ring prevention method for MESH router
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a hybrid networking ring prevention method for an MESH router.
Background
When the whole network is composed of pure mesh links, if a wired LAN link is added on the basis, the broadcast message is forwarded in the network through the wired LAN link, and the message in the 802.11 format is converted into the message in the 802.3 format. The 802.3 format message cannot carry the loop flag bit of the loop of the original 802.11 message, so that the message is forwarded to the router which initially sends the message, and the router cannot identify whether the message is a broadcast message sent by the router, so that the message can be forwarded continuously, the message is repeatedly forwarded in the network indefinitely, and the broadcast storm is formed, so that the network is broken down.
The existing anti-ring technology has the following action mechanism in the mesh network: in a mixed link network consisting of wired and wireless networks, after recognizing that a loop exists, the whole mesh link of a smaller mac AP in the APs connected with the LAN is blocked, namely, the mesh in all the links of the AP and other connected APs is blocked. As shown in fig. 1, the mac address of the AP1 is the smallest, all Mesh links linked to the AP1 are disconnected, and the AP4 cannot surf the internet after disconnection, as shown in fig. 2.
The drawbacks of the background art are summarized below:
1. it is easy to cause some APs to leave the network and not to surf the internet.
2. Under the condition that the Mesh link and the Lan link exist simultaneously, the problem that the Mesh link is blocked by the private anti-ring protocol of other equipment may exist.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the problems of the background art, the invention designs a brand new mechanism, and achieves the purpose of disconnecting all loops by blocking some links among multiple loops, thereby avoiding the formation of broadcast storm.
The invention provides a mixed networking ring-prevention method for an MESH router, which comprises the steps that after wireless networking, a wired LAN port is connected, LAN UP information exists, connection of wired equipment can be detected, at the moment, a loop detection stage can be triggered, when the MAC (media access control) of networking equipment is not the minimum equipment, a loop detection packet can be sent out, when the equipment receives the loop detection packet sent out by the equipment, a loop is proved, then a ring-prevention mechanism can record the loop, the MESH link of the equipment can be blocked when the loop is detected, a broadcast storm is shielded, and normal networking and internet surfing services are recovered.
As a further improvement of the present invention, when the device MAC is minimal, the MESH link is not blocked.
As a further improvement of the invention, after each MESH node in the network receives the loop detection packet, it firstly judges whether the packet is sent by itself, if the packet is not the loop detection packet sent by itself, the information of itself is added in and then forwarded out; if the detection packet is sent by the node, the node receives the loop detection packets for several times and judges that several loops exist.
As a further improvement of the invention, when a loop is detected, if the loop is a new loop, the loop is recorded in the loop table, and if the loop is an old loop, the aging time is updated.
The invention has the beneficial effects that: the invention realizes the function of preventing the loop when the multi-MESH equipment is mixed and networked, blocks the loop broadcast packet between the MESH links through the function of preventing the loop, and realizes the functions of wired and wireless mixed networking, coverage and normal internet surfing among the multi-MESH equipment without being influenced.

Detailed Description
The invention discloses a method for preventing a mixed networking of an MESH router from being looped, which aims to achieve the purpose of disconnecting all loops by blocking certain links among multiple loops so as to avoid the formation of broadcast storms. Meanwhile, after some links are blocked, other links are cut off again, and the blocked links need to be recovered.
As shown in fig. 1, with the previous mechanism, all Mesh links linked with the AP1 are disconnected, and after disconnection, the AP4 cannot surf the internet, which destroys the desired usage scenario of the user. By using the method of the invention, only the wireless mesh link '2' causing the loop in the figure 1 is selected to be disconnected, at the moment, the whole network is the same as the former one, the network can be normally accessed, the scene of the whole network is not changed, and a user does not need to feel trouble because the loop cannot be accessed after networking multiple devices.
Implementation description:
1. in the mesh network, a user cannot independently control the on-off of a certain mesh link, so that the addition and the removal of the link refer to wired LAN links, and the blocking and the release of the link refer to wireless mesh links.
2. The software implementation mechanism comprises: after wireless networking, connect wired LAN mouth, there is LAN UP's information, can detect wired equipment's connection (prevent that ring function oneself defines wired equipment discovery package, and loop detection package), at this moment, can trigger and carry out the loop detection stage, when networking devices MAC is not minimum equipment, can send out loop detection package, when equipment received the loop detection package that oneself sent out, just prove that there is the loop, then prevent that the loop mechanism can record the loop, it will block own MESH link to detect the ring, shield off the broadcast storm, resume normal networking, online service. When the device MAC is minimal, the MESH link is not blocked.
3. After receiving the loop detection packet, each MESH node in the network firstly judges whether the loop detection packet is sent by the MESH node or not, and if the loop detection packet is not sent by the MESH node, the MESH node adds own information into the loop detection packet and then forwards the loop detection packet; if the detection packet is sent by the node, the node receives the loop detection packets for several times and judges that several loops exist. When a loop is detected, if the loop is a new loop, the loop is recorded in a loop table, and if the loop is an old loop (the same loop is detected), only the aging time is updated. (the ring information is recorded before entering the ring table, and whether the ring is a new ring or an old ring is judged by comparing the node information)
The invention comprises three steps:
1. and a loop detection step:
equipment triggers loop detection (cycle triggering and event triggering), broadcasts a loop detection packet, carries mac (if not filled with 0) of br/Lan/Mesh, and judges whether a loop exists in a network by judging whether the detection packet is received finally or not;
when the loop detection packet passes through each AP, the corresponding AP fills the mac and link information of br/Lan/Mesh into the packet.
If the other equipment triggers the detection, the received detection packet still has the mac address of the detection packet, which indicates that the detection packet has a sub-ring, and the broadcast packet needs to be deleted and the sub-ring is recorded.
2. Broadcast filtering (blocking of loops) step:
before the detection is completed, all broadcasts outside the loop detection packet need to be filtered out at the receiving end of Lan.
Loop detection packets from other Mesh subnets need to be filtered at the receiving end of Lan/Mesh.
And after the loop is detected, filtering all broadcasts on the corresponding Mesh link except the loop detection packet.
3. And a loop opening step:
the user disconnects the wired link and recovers through the aging mechanism.
As shown in fig. 3, the loop detection step includes:
firstly, judging whether a Lan/Mesh event exists, if so, executing a loop learning step, and if not, ending;
the loop learning step includes:
entering a link learning state, and performing RX filtering of a Lan port specifically comprises the following steps: broadcast outside of the loop detection packet; detection packets exceeding the number of support nodes;

if the Mesh port receives the detection packet which meets the following conditions, the broadcast is filtered:
carrying the mac address of the user;
the own Lan port mac address is the minimum in all Lan nodes;
if a plurality of different detection packets are received, a plurality of rings are provided;
