Detailed Description
To make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present application may be arbitrarily combined with each other without conflict.
Fig. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a method for detecting time calibration accuracy according to an embodiment of the present application, where the method is applicable to a case where a master network device detects time calibration accuracy of a slave network device. The method may be performed by a master network device as provided herein for use with a slave network device. As shown in fig. 1, the method includes:
step 110, sending a calibration accuracy detection message to the slave network device.
It should be noted that the master network device refers to a device in the PTP network that provides precise time, and the slave network device refers to a device in the PTP network that receives precise time. The PTP network of the embodiment of the present application mainly includes an Ordinary clock device (OC) and a Boundary clock device (BC). The OC and BC may be used as master network devices or slave network devices. When acting as a master network device, multiple interfaces may be allowed to provide precise time out, these interfaces being PTP master interfaces, and when acting as slave network devices, only one interface is allowed to receive precise time, this interface being a PTP slave interface.
In one example, the calibration accuracy detection message refers to a start detection message for notifying the start of calibration accuracy detection from the network device. The calibration precision detection message can be sent to the slave network device through the PTP extension management message, and the PTP extension management message is added with a newly defined TLV (Type-Length-Value) format management data packet named ENABLE _ PORT _ TEST according to an IEEE1588 protocol to realize the transmission of the calibration precision detection message.
In one implementation, for the definition of ENABLE _ PORT _ TEST, a specified type in the reserved area, e.g., 4003 type in 4003-5 FFF, can be selected to inform the detection of the accuracy of time alignment from the network device based on the IEEE1588 protocol. The enabled _ PORT _ TEST management packet is described as follows: management identification name (managementId name): ENABLE _ PORT _ TEST; management identity (managementId value): 0x 4003; type of operation (actions): COMMANDs (COMMAND); action (applications to): an interface (PORT); data Field (Data Field): empty; other protocol fields of the PTP extension management message are referred to IEEE1588 protocol.
And step 120, acquiring the calibrated accurate time sent by the slave network device aiming at the calibration accuracy detection message according to a reverse accurate time protocol (OPTP).
It should be noted that, in order to detect the time calibration accuracy of the slave network device in real time, the master network device may send a calibration accuracy detection message to the slave network device at an interval of preset time, and after determining that the slave network device receives the calibration accuracy detection for each calibration accuracy detection message, the post-calibration accurate time sent by the slave network device for the calibration accuracy detection message needs to be acquired according to the oppp protocol, so that the master network device further determines the time calibration accuracy of the slave network device according to the post-calibration accurate time.
The calibrated accurate time is obtained by calibrating the accurate time of the slave network device according to the synchronous accurate time, and the synchronous accurate time is calculated according to an interactive PTP message after the slave network device synchronously interacts with the master network device according to a PTP protocol.
In one example, acquiring the post-calibration precision time sent from the network device for the calibration precision detection message according to a reverse precision time protocol, OPTP, may include: receiving an OPTP protocol message sent from network equipment; and performing phase-locked calibration on the OPTP protocol message to obtain the calibrated accurate time.
In one example, the oppp protocol messages correspond to precision time protocol PTP messages one to one, and the precision time domain values in the oppp protocol messages are different from the precision time domain values in the PTP protocol messages.
In a specific implementation, the oppp protocol completely refers to the PTP protocol, and only one difference of different precise time domain values is added to the message characteristics to distinguish a normal working precise time domain from a precise time domain for detection, thereby avoiding a conflict generated when the network coexists with the original PTP protocol.
As shown in fig. 2, the interactive oppp protocol message and PTP protocol message of the master network device and the slave network device form symmetry, that is, the PTP synchronization message (Sync), the Delay request message (Delay _ Req), and the Delay reply message (Delay _ Resp) all have corresponding oppp protocol messages to be sent in reverse. The OPTP protocol is consistent with PTP except that the precision time domain value which is specially distinguished from PTP protocol is different. The calculation of the precise time of the OPTP protocol also follows the IEEE1588 protocol standard.
In one example, the method may further include: presetting a preset accurate time domain value for an OPTP protocol message in advance; if the protocol message is received, judging whether the value of the accurate time domain of the protocol message is a preset accurate time domain value, if so, determining that the protocol message is an OPTP protocol message, otherwise, determining that the protocol message is a PTP protocol message.
For example, 255 may be set as the precise time domain value for the operation of the oppp protocol in advance, and other values not equal to 255 may be set as the precise time domain value for the operation of the PTP protocol, so that when the precise time domain value of the received protocol packet is equal to 255, it may be determined that the protocol packet is currently in the detection process of the time calibration precision, and the protocol packet is processed as the oppp protocol packet, and when the precise time domain value of the protocol packet is not equal to 255, it may be determined that the protocol packet is currently in the normal time calibration process, and the protocol packet is processed as the PTP protocol packet.
And step 130, comparing the calibrated accurate time with the self reference accurate time to obtain the time calibration accuracy matched with the calibrated accurate time.
It should be noted that, since the slave network device calibrates the accurate time of the slave network device according to the reference accurate time of the master network device obtained synchronously, the time calibration deviation between the calibrated accurate time and the reference accurate time, that is, the time calibration precision matched with the calibrated accurate time, can be obtained by performing the difference operation between the reference accurate time of the master network device and the calibrated accurate time.
Step 140, sending the time calibration accuracy to the slave network device.
In one example, after notifying the slave network device of the time alignment accuracy, a stop detection message needs to be sent to the slave network device to stop the slave network device from interacting with the OPTP protocol packet with the master network device.
In one example, the stop detection message may be carried in a PTP extended management message, and the stop detection message may be delivered by adding a newly defined TLV format management packet named DISABLE _ PORT _ TEST.
According to the detection method, the detection device, the detection system and the storage medium for the time calibration precision, the master network device obtains the calibrated accurate time of the slave network device according to the self-defined OPTP protocol, and then the calibrated accurate time is compared with the self reference accurate time to obtain the time calibration precision matched with the calibrated accurate time, so that the time calibration precision of the slave network device is automatically detected and informed to the slave network device under the condition that the slave network device cannot know the self time calibration performance, and the slave network device can know the self calibration deviation.
Fig. 3 is another schematic flow chart of the method for detecting time calibration accuracy according to the embodiment of the present application, and the method may be applied to a case where the master network device detects time calibration accuracy of the slave network device. The method may be performed by a slave network device provided herein for use with a master network device. As shown in fig. 3, the method includes:
step 310, receiving a calibration accuracy detection message sent by the master network device.
It should be noted that the slave network device receives, through the PTP slave interface, a TLV format management packet named ENABLE _ PORT _ TEST sent by the master network device, acquires a calibration accuracy detection message from the TLV format management packet, and determines that the master network device needs to detect its own time calibration accuracy.
Step 320, sending the calibrated precision time for the calibration precision detection message to the primary network device according to the OPTP protocol.
It should be noted that, after receiving the calibration precision detection message, the slave network device needs to determine whether to perform calibration precision detection, and if so, send the calibrated precision time for the calibration precision detection message to the master network device, so that the master network device obtains the time calibration precision matched with the calibrated precision time by comparing the calibrated precision time with the reference precision time of the master network device.
As shown in fig. 2, the slave network device interacts with the master network device through an opt protocol message, that is, a PTP synchronization message (OPTP Sync), a Delay request message (OPTP Delay _ Req), and a Delay reply message (OPTP Delay _ Resp), and sends the calibrated accurate time for the calibration accuracy detection message to the master network device.
And step 330, receiving the time calibration precision matched with the calibrated precise time and sent by the main network device.
In one example, after receiving the time calibration accuracy matching the calibrated accurate time sent by the main network device, the method may further include: and reporting the time calibration precision to a management platform so that the management platform can carry out alarm or time phase calibration according to the time calibration precision.
It should be noted that after receiving the time calibration accuracy calculated by the master network device from the network device, the slave network device can obtain the time calibration deviation of the slave network device relative to the master network device, and can further calibrate the slave network device according to the time calibration deviation, or report the time calibration accuracy to the management platform, so that the management platform can perform alarm or time phase calibration according to the time calibration accuracy.
According to the detection method, the detection device, the detection system and the storage medium for the time calibration precision, the slave network device receives the calibration precision detection message sent by the master network device, and sends the calibrated precision time aiming at the calibration precision detection message to the master network device according to the OPTP protocol after determining to receive the time calibration precision detection, so that the master network device determines the time calibration precision of the slave network device according to the calibrated precision time, and the slave network device can know the time calibration precision of the slave network device.
Fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of a PTP network according to an embodiment of the present application.
As shown in fig. 4, in a normal PTP synchronization process of the network devices 1 to 5 in the PTP network, a PTP master interface of an upstream master network device detects the performance of accurate synchronization time of a downstream slave network device in an oppp manner at regular time. For example, if the network device 4 needs to know its own time calibration accuracy, the network device 2, as its relatively master network device, may perform calibration accuracy detection on the network device 4, and notify the obtained time calibration accuracy to the network device 4; if the network device 2 needs to know its precise time performance, the network device 1, as its master network device, will perform calibration accuracy detection on the network device 2 and inform the network device 2 of the obtained time calibration accuracy. It can be seen that each network device of the PTP network is able to know its time alignment accuracy with respect to its master network device.
It should be noted that the method for detecting time calibration accuracy in the embodiment of the present application is also applicable to synchronous Ethernet (sync) and Packet Transport Network (PTN), and is not limited to PTP network.

the PTP master interface 510 is also used to transmit the time alignment accuracy to the slave network devices.
The master network device provided in this embodiment is used to implement the detection method applied to the time calibration precision of the master network device in this application, and the implementation principle and technical effect of the master network device provided in this embodiment are similar to those of the detection method applied to the time calibration precision of the slave network device in this application, and are not described herein again.

In one example, the at least one processor 520 is further configured to: presetting a preset accurate time domain value for an OPTP protocol message in advance; if the protocol message is received, judging whether the value of the accurate time domain of the protocol message is a preset accurate time domain value, if so, determining that the protocol message is an OPTP protocol message, otherwise, determining that the protocol message is a PTP protocol message.

The normal accurate time network synchronization is realized through a PTP interface processing module, and the detection of the time calibration accuracy is realized through an OPTP interface processing module.
As shown in fig. 7, the OPTP interface processing module is directly connected to the external PTN network, and shares a physical interface with the PTP interface processing module to send or receive an OPTP protocol packet. The OPTP interface processing module comprises an OPTP main interface and an OPTP slave interface, the OPTP main interface and the OPTP slave interface are respectively arranged on the slave network equipment and the master network equipment, the OPTP main interface and the OPTP slave interface are mutually connected through a PTN network, and can send and receive OPTP protocol messages and can be realized by programming a programmable device.

As shown in fig. 7, the phase comparator is used to compare the reference accurate time of the main network device with the calibrated accurate time calculated according to the opt protocol packet, and may be implemented by a programmable device assisted by a high-frequency clock signal in combination with logic programming.
