Description

Method and device for avoiding loop in EVPN multi-homing networking

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for avoiding a loop in an EVPN multi-homing networking.

Background

In an Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) multi-homing Network, when a link fails, a bypass (bypass) link technology is usually used to achieve the purpose of traffic interruption. As shown in fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an EVPN multi-homing networking. After a data message sent by a user Edge (CE) 2 reaches PE3, PE3 encapsulates the data message, and then forwards the encapsulated network message to an operator Edge (PE) 1 or PE2 through an equivalent path between PE1 and PE2, and any PE of PE1 and PE2 decapsulates the network message and sends the data message to CE 1. When the link between PE1 and CE1 is down, the network packet sent by PE3 to PE1 will pass through PE2 via the protection link between PE1 and PE2, and then reach CE 1.

As described above, when the link between CE1 and PE1 and PE2 is down at the same time, or the failure of CE1 causes the link between CE1 and PE1 and PE2 to be down at the same time, that is, CE1 is off-line. Because the positions of PE1 and PE2 are symmetrical and a bypass link exists between PE1 and PE2, a network message sent by PE3 will be forwarded between PE1 and PE2 without stop, and a short loop occurs until one of PE1 and PE2 cancels its own issued EVPN route.

In order to solve the aforementioned problem of the short loop occurring between PE1 and PE2, two tags are usually allocated to each EVPN instance configured in the PE currently, where one tag identifies a network packet sent by a far-end network side (e.g., PE3), and the other tag identifies a network packet sent by a bypass link side. Therefore, after the multi-homing member PE in the multi-homing group receives the network message, the source of the network message can be distinguished through different labels, and for the network message sent from the bypass link side, when the link between the PE and the CE is down, the network message does not return through the bypass link any more, so that a loop is avoided.

However, this approach, while avoiding the loop formation, has the following drawbacks: 1) the bypass tag used for identifying the bypass link side needs to be configured independently, and if an independent bypass tag is not configured, the problem of the transient loop can occur; 2) if an independent bypass tag is configured, multiple tags need to be configured for each EVPN instance in the PE, and thus, the problem of excessive number of application tags may also occur.

The method for avoiding loops in EVPN multihoming networking provided in the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below. Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method for avoiding loops in EVPN multihoming networking according to an embodiment of the present application. The method is applied to a first PE. The first PE is in a multi-homing network, the multi-homing network further comprises a CE and a second PE, the CE is a multi-homing device, namely the CE is respectively connected with the first PE and the second PE through a first link and a second link, and the first PE and the second PE belong to the same multi-homing group. The first PE and the second PE are connected through a bypass link. The method for avoiding the loop in the EVPN multi-homing networking provided by the embodiment of the application can comprise the following steps.

Step 210, receiving a first network packet sent by a far-end PE, where the first network packet includes a first VPN label of the first PE.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 1. The networking includes CE1, CE2, PE1, PE2, and PE 3. CE1 is a multihomed device and is connected to PE1 and PE2 via a first link and a second link, respectively. PE1 and PE2 are connected through a bypass link, and PE1 and PE2 belong to multi-homing members of the same multi-homing group. PE3 is connected to PE1 and PE2 via a tunnel (e.g., a Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) tunnel).

In the embodiment of the present application, PE1 is used as the first PE for explanation. It will be appreciated that other multi-homed members in the same multi-homed group as PE1 also perform the same process.

In this step, after receiving the data packet sent by the CE2, the far-end PE (i.e., PE3) encapsulates the data packet, so as to obtain a first network packet. PE3 forwards to PE1 via a tunnel (of course, it may also forward to PE2, and PE2 performs the same steps as PE 1). After receiving the first Network packet sent by PE3, PE1 obtains a first Virtual Private Network (VPN) label of the first PE from the first Network packet.

Further, before this step, a process is included in which the first PE starts a bypass protection function and assigns its own bypass tag.

Specifically, PE1 receives a configuration instruction input by a user, where the configuration instruction is used to instruct a first PE to open a bypass protection function. According to the configuration instruction, PE1 allocates a bypass tag to its own device, where the bypass tag is used to identify that the sender of the network packet carrying the bypass tag is a multi-homing member in the multi-homing group.

Further, before this step, a process of mutually advertising EVPN routes by PEs within the group is also included.

Specifically, after a PE in the networking joins the EVPN multi-homing group and establishes peers with other PEs in the networking, EVPN routes are generated and advertised to each other. For example, PE2 generates a first route advertisement message that includes the bypass tag of PE2 and the ethernet segment ES information. After receiving the first route advertisement packet sent by PE2, PE1 obtains the bypass tag and Ethernet Segment (ES) information of PE2 from the first route advertisement packet. PE1 determines the value of ES information. If the value of ES information is a first value (e.g., the first value is 0), PE1 saves the bypass tag of PE 2.

In the embodiment of the present application, the bypass tag of PE2 is allocated by PE2, and the specific allocation process may refer to the foregoing process of PE1 allocating its own bypass tag. The ES information is specifically a value of Ethernet Segment Identifier (ESI), and when the ESI is 0, it indicates that the ES information is not related to any ES link but only to a device.

It is understood that PE1 also generates a second route advertisement message that includes the bypass tag of PE1 and ES information. After receiving the second route advertisement packet sent by PE1, PE2 obtains the bypass tag and ES information of PE1 from the second route advertisement packet. PE2 determines the value of ES information. If the value of ES information is a first value (e.g., the first value is 0), PE2 saves the bypass tag of PE 1.

In this embodiment of the present application, the first Route advertisement packet and the second Route advertisement packet may specifically be EVPN 1-type routes (i.e., Ethernet Auto-discovery routes), where the Route advertisement packet adds an Extended Community attribute (i.e., BYPASS Extended Community) field, and the Extended Community attribute field is used for carrying a BYPASS label of the PE. As shown in fig. 3, fig. 3 is a format diagram of a field where a bypass tag is carried in a route advertisement packet according to the embodiment of the present application.

Wherein the extended community attribute includes a Type (Type) field that can be set to 0x06, a Sub-Type (Sub-Type) field that can be set to 0x05, a Reserved (Reserved) field, and a Bypass Label (Bypass Label) field.

Further, EVPN 1-type routes specifically include EVPN AD per ES routes and EVPN AD per EVI routes. The EVPN1 type route carrying the bypass label in the foregoing is specifically an EVPN AD per ES route, or is called a special EVPN AD per ES route.

It is to be appreciated that each PE (e.g., PE1) issues two EVPN 1-like routes to the outside (i.e., PE2, PE3) after establishing peers with other PEs within the networking. Namely EVPN AD per ES routing and EVPN AD per EVI routing. Where EVPN AD per ES routing is used to advertise its ES link state. The EVPN AD per EVI route is used for advertising own Virtual Private Wire Service (VPWS) VPN information. Both routes include a Route Identifier (RD), an Ethernet Segment Identifier (ESI), an Ethernet Tag id (Ethernet Tag id), and an MPLS label.

In the EVPN AD per ES route, the RD field is a BGP route site flag, which is set to a local configuration value, the ESI field is set to a PE ES link value, the ethernet flag ID is set to 0 xfffffffff, and the MPLS label field is set to 0. In the EVPN AD per EVI route, an RD field is a BGP routing site mark and is set as a local configuration value, an ESI field is set as an ES link value of a PE, an Ethernet mark ID is set as site information of the PE, and an MPLS label field is set as a VPN label of the PE.

After PE1 externally announces an EVPN AD per ES route, PE2 and PE3 acquire and store a bypass label of PE1 after receiving the route; after the PE1 externally advertises the EVPN AD per EVI route, and after receiving the route, the PE2 and the PE3 acquire and store the first VPN label of the PE1 from the route.

Thus, in this step, after receiving the data packet sent by the CE2, the PE3 determines that the next hop is PE1 or PE2 according to the destination IP carried in the data packet. If PE3 selects the next hop to be PE1, PE3 encapsulates the stored first VPN label before the data packet when encapsulating the first network packet.

It is understood that PE3 also encapsulates an ethernet Header (ETH Header) and a TUNNEL LABEL (TUNNEL LABEL) together before the first VPN LABEL during the encapsulation process.

Similarly, PE2 also issues the two EVPN1 routes to the outside. After receiving the routes, PE1 and PE3 obtain and store the second VPN label of PE 2.

In this embodiment of the present application, after PE1 and PE2 assign their own bypass tags, they also carry bypass tags through a special EVPN AD per ES route, so that a PE receiving the EVPN AD per ES route stores the bypass tags, for example, PE2 stores the bypass tag of PE1, and PE1 stores the bypass tag of PE 2.

The special EVPN AD per ES route further includes ES information, which is specifically the value of ESI. The special EVPN AD per ES route also includes RT, and the value of the RT is the RT aggregation of VPN examples in PE.

Note that the ESI value is 0, which means that the ESI value is independent of any ES link and is only device-dependent. And the PE receiving the special EVPN AD per ES route determines that the EVPN AD per ES route is a route for carrying a bypass label when judging that the ESI value is 0, and the PE stores the bypass label.

Step 220, according to the first VPN label, obtaining a local VPN instance corresponding to the first VPN label, and obtaining a first outgoing interface of the VPN instance.

Specifically, after PE1 obtains the first VPN label from the first network packet, PE1 finds the local VPN instance corresponding to the first VPN label according to the first VPN label, and obtains the first outgoing interface of the VPN instance.

In this embodiment of the present application, a link corresponding to the first outgoing interface is a first link.

Step 230, when it is determined that the first link corresponding to the first egress interface fails, sending a second network packet to the second PE through the bypass link, where the second network packet includes a bypass tag of the second PE and a second VPN tag of the second PE, so that the second PE determines, according to the bypass tag of the second PE, that the second network packet is sent through the bypass link for the first PE belonging to the same multi-homing group, and discards the second network packet when it determines that the corresponding second link fails according to the second VPN tag.

Specifically, when PE1 determines that the first link failed, PE1 obtains the bypass tag of PE2 and the second VPN tag of PE2 locally. PE1 generates a second network packet that includes the bypass tag of PE2 and the second VPN tag. PE1 sends the second network packet to PE2 via the bypass link.

It is understood that PE1 encapsulates the second VPN label and the bypass label of PE2 after the tunnel label before the data packet in the process of generating the second network packet.

After receiving the second network packet, PE2 obtains the bypass tag and the second VPN tag of PE2 from the second network packet. According to the bypass label of PE2, PE2 determines that the second network packet is sent by a multihomed member in the same multihomed group as the PE2, that is, PE2 determines that the second network packet is sent by a bypass link for PE1 belonging to the same multihomed group. Meanwhile, the PE2 finds the local VPN instance corresponding to the second VPN label according to the second VPN label, and obtains the second outgoing interface of the VPN instance.

In this embodiment of the application, the link corresponding to the second outgoing interface is the second link.

When PE2 determines that the second link failed, PE2 discards the second network packet.

Therefore, by applying the method for avoiding the loop in the EVPN multi-homing networking provided by the present application, after receiving the first network packet carrying the first VPN label of the first PE, the first PE obtains the corresponding local VPN instance and the first outgoing interface of the VPN instance according to the first VPN label. When the first PE determines that the link corresponding to the first output interface fails, a second network message carrying a bypass label of the second PE and a second VPN label of the second PE is sent to the second PE through the bypass link, so that the second PE determines that the second network message is sent through the bypass link for the first PE belonging to the same multi-attribution group according to the bypass label of the second PE, and discards the second network message when determining that the corresponding second link fails according to the second VPN label. In the process of forwarding the network message, the PE can determine the sender of the network message through the bypass label, so that the problems that in the prior art, the PE is not provided with an independent bypass label and cannot identify the source of the network message, so that a short loop in networking is caused, and the PE is provided with an independent bypass label and the number of labels is too large can be solved.

Optionally, PE2 also performs the process of steps 210-230 when the first network packet sent by PE3 is forwarded to PE 2.

That is, when PE2 determines that the second link corresponding to the second egress interface fails, the third network packet is sent to PE1 through the bypass link. After receiving the third network packet, PE1 obtains the bypass tag and the first VPN tag of PE1 from the third network packet. According to the bypass label of PE1, PE1 determines that the third network packet is sent by a multihomed member in the same multihomed group as the third network packet, that is, PE1 determines that the third network packet is sent by a bypass link for PE2 belonging to the same multihomed group. Meanwhile, the PE1 finds the local VPN instance corresponding to the first VPN label according to the first VPN label, and obtains the first output interface of the VPN instance.

In this embodiment, a link corresponding to the first outgoing interface is a first link.

When PE1 determines that the first link failed, PE1 discards the third network packet.

Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the application also provides a device for avoiding the EVPN multi-homing networking loop, which corresponds to the method for avoiding the EVPN multi-homing networking loop. Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a structure diagram of an apparatus for avoiding a loop in an EVPN multi-homing networking according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, where the apparatus is applied to a first PE, the first PE is in the multi-homing networking, the multi-homing networking further includes a CE and a second PE, the CE is connected to the first PE and the second PE through a first link and a second link, respectively, and the first PE is connected to the second PE through a bypass link, and the apparatus includes:

a receiving unit 410, configured to receive a first network packet sent by a far-end PE, where the first network packet includes a first VPN label of the first PE;

the device further comprises: and an allocating unit (not shown in the figure) configured to allocate a bypass tag to the first PE according to the configuration instruction, where the bypass tag is used to identify that a sender of the network packet bearing the bypass tag is a multi-homing member in a multi-homing group.

the device further comprises: a holding unit (not shown in the figure) for holding the bypass tag of the second PE when the value of the ES information is the first value.

Optionally, the receiving unit 410 is further configured to receive a third network packet sent by the second PE, where the third network packet includes a bypass tag of the first PE and the first VPN tag;

Optionally, the route advertisement packet is an EVPN 1-type route, and the route advertisement packet includes an extended community attribute field, where the extended community attribute field carries a bypass tag of the PE.

Therefore, by applying the device for avoiding the loop in the EVPN multi-homing networking provided by the present application, after receiving the first network packet carrying the first VPN label of the first PE, the device acquires the corresponding local VPN instance and the first outgoing interface of the VPN instance according to the first VPN label. When the first PE determines that the link corresponding to the first output interface fails, the device sends a second network message carrying a bypass label of the second PE and a second VPN label of the second PE to the second PE through the bypass link, so that the second PE determines that the second network message is sent through the bypass link for the first PE belonging to the same multi-attribution group according to the bypass label of the second PE, and discards the second network message when determining that the corresponding second link fails according to the second VPN label. Because the sending party of the network message can be determined by the bypass label in the process of forwarding the network message by the PE, the problem that in the prior art, the source of the network message cannot be identified because the PE is not provided with the independent bypass label, so that a transient loop in networking is caused can be solved, and the problem that the PE is provided with the independent bypass label and the number of labels is too large is caused.
