Description
Technical Field
The present application relates to the field of network technologies, and in particular, to a routing message processing method, a routing message issuing device, and a communication system.
Background
Segment Routing (SR) is a protocol designed based on the concept of source routing to forward packets in a network. The SR divides a network path into segments, and assigns Segment Identifiers (SIDs) to the segments and nodes in the network, and a forwarding path can be obtained by arranging the segments and network nodes in order. Wherein a node in the network is a network device. The implementation modes of the SR include, but are not limited to, a segment routing traffic engineering (SR-TE) mode and a segment routing best effort (SR-BE) mode. The SR-BE mode is implemented based on an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) and is used to implement shortest path (i.e., minimum cost path) forwarding.
Under the SR-BE mode, messages are transmitted among nodes in the network through SR-BE tunnels. A node in the network may publish its own prefix SID in an IGP domain where the node is located, and after receiving the prefix SID, other nodes in the IGP domain calculate a tag value according to their SR global block (SRGB), and generate a tag forwarding entry, thereby creating an SR-BE tunnel to the node.
After any node in the IGP domain issues the prefix SID of the node, all other nodes in the IGP domain can receive the prefix SID, and therefore all other nodes can create SR-BE tunnels to the node. At present, each time a node in a network receives a prefix SID issued by other nodes, an SR-BE tunnel to the other node is created, and some tunnels are not needed, so that the tunnel creation flexibility is low.

And the first network equipment creates an SR-BE tunnel from the first network equipment to the second network equipment based on the tunnel creation indication message. And the first network equipment transmits the message to BE transmitted to the second network equipment through the SR-BE tunnel.

In a possible implementation manner, an implementation process of generating a routing message by a first network device includes: and the first network equipment modifies a second indication in the original message issued by the destination network equipment into the first indication to obtain a routing message, wherein the second indication is used for indicating that an SR-BE tunnel to the destination network equipment is not created.

Detailed Description
To make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, embodiments of the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The embodiment of the application provides a communication system, and the communication system supports an SR forwarding technology. For example, the communication system may support an SR forwarding technology (abbreviated as SRv6) based on internet protocol version 6 (IPv 6). Alternatively, the communication system may support a multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) SR forwarding technique (SR-MPLS). The communication system includes a plurality of network devices. The communication system can implement an SR-BE mode, that is, messages can BE transmitted among a plurality of network devices in the communication system through SR-BE tunnels.
Alternatively, the communication system may be a Data Center Network (DCN), a metropolitan area network, a wide area network, a campus area network, or the like. The communication system may adopt a three-layer network architecture, that is, the communication system may be a three-layer network, including: core layer, convergence layer and access layer. The core layer is a high-speed switching backbone of the network, and is connected to a backbone network (which may also be referred to as a core network), for example, to a controller in the backbone network. The convergence layer is used to provide a convergence connection (connecting the access layer and the core layer). The access stratum is used to access the workstation to the network. The station may be a base station or an Access Point (AP), etc. In the embodiment of the present application, a network device located in an access layer is referred to as an access layer device, a network device located in an aggregation layer is referred to as an aggregation layer device, and a network device located in a core layer is referred to as a core layer device.
Optionally, a Virtual Private Network (VPN) function is deployed in the communication system, and the communication system may adopt a hierarchical VPN (VPN of VPN) structure. The HoVPN is a hierarchical VPN, and multiple Provider Edge (PE) devices play different roles, form a hierarchical structure, and together complete the function of one PE device, so as to reduce the performance requirement on the PE device. In a three-layer network using the hopvpn structure, an access layer device is a user provider end edge (UPE) device, and may be a base station side gateway (CSG), for example. The convergence layer device is an SPE (service provider end) device, and may be an Access Service Gateway (ASG), for example. The core layer device is a Network Provider Edge (NPE) device, and may be a radio network controller site (RSG), for example. In order to reduce the pressure of the UPE device to store the route information and at the same time, to implement the nearby forwarding to save the bandwidth, the SPE device only issues a default route (also called a default private network route) to the UPE device and detailed routes of other UPE devices in the same access ring with the UPE device.
Optionally, an access ring may be formed between the access layer device and the convergence layer device; a convergence ring is formed between the convergence layer device and the core layer device. The access ring is connected with the base station and used for receiving a network signal of the base station and transmitting the network signal to the convergence ring, wherein the network signal can bear interconnection services among the base stations and/or multi-homing services of the base stations and the like; the convergence ring is used for processing the network signal and realizing the separation and transmission of interconnection service among base stations and/or multi-homing service of the base stations.
At present, in SR-BE mode, a network device may issue a routing message including its prefix SID in an IGP domain where the network device is located, and after receiving the routing message issued by the network device, other network devices in the IGP domain calculate a tag value according to the prefix SID in the routing message and their SRGB, respectively, and generate a tag forwarding table entry, thereby creating an SR-BE tunnel to the network device. However, SR-BE tunnels between partial network devices in the same IGP domain are useless, for example, one or more access rings connected to the same aggregation ring are generally planned as an IGP domain, and there is no traffic flow between most access layer devices located in the same access ring, so SR-BE tunnels between most access layer devices located in the same access ring are useless, and communication between access layer devices located in different access rings is necessarily required to pass through the aggregation layer device, so SR-BE tunnels between access layer devices located in different access rings are also useless. At present, each time the network device receives routing messages issued by other network devices, an SR-BE tunnel to the other side is created, which causes the network device to create and maintain a large number of useless SR-BE tunnels, and the creation of useless SR-BE tunnels causes the waste of processing resources of the network device and increases the burden of the network device for maintaining label forwarding entries.
For example, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a communication system in the related art. As shown in fig. 1, the communication system 10 includes CSGs 101A-101F (collectively CSG 101), ASGs 102A-102B (collectively ASGs 102), and RSGs 103A-103B (collectively RSGs 103). The CSG101A, CSG 101B, CSG 101C, ASG 102A and ASG 102B form an access ring 1, the CSG 101D, CSG 101E, CSG 101F, ASG 102A and ASG 102B form an access ring 2, and the CSG101A and CSG 101D are respectively connected to one base station. The ASG 102A, ASG 102B, RSG 103A and RSG 103B form a convergence ring 1 therebetween, and the RSG 103A and RSG 103B are respectively connected to the backbone network. Both access ring 1 and access ring 2 are connected to a convergence ring 1. The IGP employed by the communication system may be an intermediate system to intermediate system (IS-IS) routing protocol.
Optionally, the communication system further includes a provider (P) device, which is located in the convergence layer and serves as an intermediate node for accessing to a provider network (e.g., a 4G network or a 5G network). For example, referring to fig. 1, the communication system 10 also includes P devices 102C-102F. Among them, P device 102C and P device 102D serve as intermediate nodes for accessing the 4G network, and P device 102E and P device 102D serve as intermediate nodes for accessing the 5G network.
In the communication system shown in fig. 1, in order to control the amount of private network routes, the ASG 102 issues a default private network route downstream, so that the CSG101 only needs to maintain one default route, and the equipment pressure is low. In the communication system shown in fig. 1, IGP IS deployed in an IS-IS routing protocol partition (level) manner, where an access ring IS level-1 and a convergence ring IS level 2. level-1 configures BGP peer (BGP peer) and SR-BE tunnel on protocol surface, and configures BGP L3VPN on forwarding surface; the level-2 is configured with BGP peer and SR-BE tunnel on the protocol surface, BGP L3VPN on the forwarding surface, and the level-2 can also BE configured with segment routing-traffic engineering (SR-TE) tunnel on the protocol surface. Because the access ring 1 and the access ring 2 are both connected to the convergence ring 1, in this scenario, the public networks of the access ring 1 and the access ring 2 are opened, that is, the access ring 1 and the access ring 2 are located in the same IGP domain, and the devices in the same access ring and the devices in different access rings can learn the route of the other party to each other, so as to create a corresponding SR-BE tunnel, that is, in this scenario, the devices in the access ring 1 and the access ring 2 can mutually establish the SR-BE tunnel of the other party to each other.
However, in the communication system shown in fig. 1, it is not necessary that all devices establish an SR-BE tunnel with each other, for example, an SR-BE tunnel between CSG101A and CSG 101D is not necessary, and an SR-BE tunnel between CSG101A and CSG 101B, CSG 101C is also not necessary. Since the traffic between the CSG101 is forwarded to the ASG 102 according to the default private network route, and then forwarded to the destination by the ASG 102 according to the detailed route, only the SR-BE tunnel between the CSG101 and the ASG 102 is needed in this scenario.
For another example, fig. 2 is a schematic configuration diagram of another communication system in the related art. As shown in fig. 2, the communication system 20 includes CSGs 201A-201L (collectively CSG 201), ASGs 202A-202D (collectively ASGs 202), and RSGs 203A-203B (collectively RSGs 203). The CSG 201A, CSG 201B, CSG 201C, CSG 201D, ASG 202A and ASG 202B form an access ring 1, the CSG 201E, CSG 201F, CSG 201G, CSG 201H, ASG 202A and ASG 202B form an access ring 2, the CSG 201I, CSG 201J, CSG 201K, CSG 201L, ASG 202C and ASG 202D form an access ring 3, and the access ring 1, the access ring 2 and the access ring 3 are respectively connected to the base station. The RSG 203 is deployed in a backbone network, and is connected to an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) controller. A convergence ring 1 is formed between the ASG 202A, ASG 202B, RSG 203A and the RSG 203B, a convergence ring 2 is formed between the ASG 202C, ASG 202D, RSG 203A and the RSG 203B, and the RSG 103A and the RSG 103B are respectively connected to the backbone network. Both access ring 1 and access ring 2 are connected to a convergence ring 1. The IGP used by the communication system may be an Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol.
Optionally, the communication system further comprises a P device located at the access stratum and serving as an intermediate node for accessing the operator network. For example, referring to fig. 2, the communication system 20 also includes P devices 201M-202R.
In the communication system shown in fig. 2, in order to control the amount of private network routing, the ASG202 issues a default private network routing downstream. In the communication system shown in fig. 2, the IGP is deployed in an OSPF routing protocol zoning (area) manner, where an access ring is OSPF 10area 1-N and an aggregation ring is OSPF 1area 0. The ASG202 is an Area Border Router (ABR). OSPF 10area 1-N configures BGP peer and SR-BE tunnel on protocol plane, and configures BGP L3VPN on forwarding plane; OSPF 1area 0 has BGP peer, SR-BE tunnel and Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) configured on the protocol plane, and BGP L3VPN configured on the forwarding plane. In this scenario, the public networks of the access ring 1, the access ring 2, and the access ring 3 are opened, wherein the access ring 1 and the access ring 3 are opened through the RSG 203, that is, the access ring 1, the access ring 2, and the access ring 3 are located in the same IGP domain, and two devices in the same access ring and two devices in different access rings can learn the routes of each other to create corresponding SR-BE tunnels, that is, in this scenario, two devices in the access ring 1, the access ring 2, and the access ring 3 can establish SR-BE tunnels of each other.
However, in the communication system shown in fig. 2, it is not necessary that all devices establish an SR-BE tunnel with each other, for example, an SR-BE tunnel between CSG 201A and CSG 201E is not required, and an SR-BE tunnel between CSG 201A and CSG 201B, CSG 201C, CSG 201D is also not required. Since the traffic between the CSG 201 is forwarded to the ASG202 according to the default private network route, and then forwarded to the destination by the ASG202 according to the detailed route, in this scenario, only the SR-BE tunnel between the CSG 201 and the ASG202 is required.
The communication system provided by the embodiment of the present application is obtained based on abstract generalization of the communication system in the related art, and is used as an exemplary illustration only and not as a limitation on a communication scenario. For example, fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a communication system according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 3, the communication system includes access layer devices 301A-301D (collectively referred to as access layer devices 301), convergence layer devices 302A-302B (collectively referred to as convergence layer devices 302), and core layer devices 303A-303B (collectively referred to as core layer devices 303). The number and connection manner of the access layer device 301, the convergence layer device 302, and the core layer device 303 in the communication system shown in fig. 3 are only used as an exemplary illustration, and are not used as a limitation to the communication system provided in the embodiment of the present application. In the embodiment of the present application, a communication system including one access ring is taken as an example for explanation, and in an actual application scenario, the communication system may include a plurality of access rings, and the working principle of each access ring is similar, which is not described in detail in the embodiment of the present application.
According to the method and the device, the indication for indicating whether the SR-BE tunnel to the network device is created is added in the routing message issued by the network device, so that after one network device in the same IGP domain receives the routing message issued by the other network device, whether the SR-BE tunnel to the other side is created is determined according to the indication in the routing message, the tunnel creation flexibility among the network devices is improved, and unnecessary SR-BE tunnels are prevented from being created. For access layer equipment in a communication system, because SR-BE tunnels between most access layer equipment in the same IGP domain are useless, a routing message issued by the access layer equipment can carry an indication for indicating that the SR-BE tunnel of the access layer equipment is not created, so that other access layer equipment cannot create the SR-BE tunnel of the access layer equipment after receiving the routing message, a large number of useless SR-BE tunnels are prevented from being created between the access layer equipment, and the maintenance difficulty of the access layer equipment is reduced. For a convergence layer device in a communication system, because the convergence layer device needs to communicate with each network device in an access ring in which the convergence layer device is located, a routing message issued by the convergence layer device may carry an indication for indicating the creation of an SR-BE tunnel to the convergence layer device, so that the access layer device or other convergence layer devices respectively create SR-BE tunnels to the convergence layer device after receiving the routing message. In addition, after receiving a routing message issued by another network device (access layer device or another convergence layer device), the convergence layer device may ignore an indication used for indicating whether to create an SR-BE tunnel to the network device in the routing message, and always create the SR-BE tunnel to the network device, that is, regardless of whether the indication carried in the routing message received by the convergence layer device is used for indicating to create the SR-BE tunnel or indicating not to create the SR-BE tunnel, the convergence layer device always creates an SR-BE tunnel to the other side, so as to ensure effective communication between the convergence layer device and the other network device, thereby ensuring communication performance of the communication system.
For example, in the communication system shown in fig. 1, the CSG101A may carry an indication indicating that no SR-BE tunnel to the CSG101A is created in a published routing message, and then the CSGs 101B to 101F do not create an SR-BE tunnel to the CSG101A based on the indication in the routing message after receiving the routing message from the CSG101A, and the ASGs 102A and 102B ignore the indication in the routing message and create SR-BE tunnels to the CSG101A respectively after receiving the routing message from the CSG 101A. The device can create useful SR-BE tunnels and avoid creating unnecessary SR-BE tunnels.
For another example, in the communication system shown in fig. 2, CSG 201A may carry an indication indicating that no SR-BE tunnel to CSG 201A is created in a published routing message, CSG 201B-201L may not create an SR-BE tunnel to CSG 201A based on the indication in the routing message after receiving the routing message from CSG 201A, and ASGs 202A-202F may ignore the indication in the routing message and create SR-BE tunnels to CSG 201A respectively after receiving the routing message from CSG 201A. The device can create useful SR-BE tunnels and avoid creating unnecessary SR-BE tunnels.
For another example, in the communication system shown in fig. 3, the access stratum device 301A may carry, in a published routing message, an indication indicating that an SR-BE tunnel to the access stratum device 301A is not created, and then the access stratum device 301B, the access stratum device 301C, and the access stratum device 301D do not create an SR-BE tunnel to the access stratum device 301A based on the indication in the routing message after receiving the routing message from the access stratum device 301A, and after receiving the routing message from the access stratum device 301A, the convergence layer device 302A and the convergence layer device 302B ignore the indication in the routing message and respectively create SR-BE tunnels to the access stratum device 301A. The convergence layer device 302A may carry, in the issued routing message, an indication for indicating that the SR-BE tunnel of the convergence layer device 302A is created, and then the access layer device 301A, the access layer device 301B, the access layer device 301C, the access layer device 301D, and the convergence layer device 302B respectively create the SR-BE tunnels of the convergence layer device 302A after receiving the routing message from the convergence layer device 302A.
Optionally, the IGP used in the communication system provided in the embodiment of the present application may be an OSPF protocol or an IS-IS routing protocol. In the OSPF scenario, the routing message issued by the network device may be a Link State Advertisement (LSA). In an IS-IS scenario, a routing message issued by a network device may be a Link State Packet (LSP).
Optionally, the routing message includes a prefix SID sub-TLV field, and the indication in the routing information issued by the network device to indicate whether to create the SR-BE tunnel to the network device is in a flag bit field of the prefix SID sub-TLV field.
For example, in the OSPF scenario, the routing message is OSPFv2 opaque LSA (OSPFv2 routing information opaque LSA), and OSPFv2 opaque LSA contains fields and definitions of the fields may refer to a request for comments (RFC) document numbered 7770. The OSPFv2 opaque LSA routing information may be configured with an OSPFv2 extended prefix TLV (OSPFv2 extended prefix TLV) field, and the fields contained in the OSPFv2 extended prefix TLV field and the definition of each field may refer to the RFC document with the number 7684. The OSPFv2 extended prefix TLV field may include a prefix SID sub-TLV field, and fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of the prefix SID sub-TLV field in the routing message provided in the embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 4, the prefix SID sub-TLV field includes a type (type) field, a length (length) field, a flag bit (flags) field, a reserved (reserved) field, a multi-topology identifier (MT-ID) field, an algorithm (algorithm) field, and a SID/index (index)/tag (able) field. Wherein, the SID/index/label field is variable length (variable), and the prefix SID in the routing message issued by the network device is in the SID/index/label field. The indication of whether to create the SR-BE tunnel to the network equipment in the routing information issued by the network equipment is in a flag bit field. The definition of each of the prefix SID sub-TLV fields can refer to the RFC document numbered 8665. The length of the flag bit field specified in RFC 8665 is 8 bits, where the 6 th bit and the 7 th bit of the flag bit field are not yet defined, and therefore, as a possible implementation manner for carrying an indication to indicate whether to create an SR-BE tunnel according to the embodiment of the present application, the 6 th bit or the 7 th bit of the flag bit field may BE defined as an indication to indicate whether to create an SR-BE tunnel, and specific definitions of the 0 th bit to the 5 th bit of the flag bit field may BE referred to RFC 8665. For example, the 6 th bit of the flag bit field is defined as an indication for indicating whether to create an SR-BE tunnel, and when the 6 th bit of the flag bit field takes a value of 0, the indication is used for indicating not to create the SR-BE tunnel, and when the 6 th bit of the flag bit field takes a value of 1, the indication is used for indicating to create the SR-BE tunnel.
For another example, in an IS-IS scenario, the routing message IS an LSP, the LSP may carry TLV-135 (extended IP reachability TLV) in variable length fields (variable length fields), and the definition of the fields and each field included in TLV-135 may refer to the RFC document numbered 5305. The TLV-135 may include a prefix SID sub-TLV field, and fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of the prefix SID sub-TLV field in another routing message provided in this embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 5, the prefix SID sub-TLV field includes a type (type) field, a length (length) field, a flag bit (flags) field, an algorithm (algorithmm) field, and a SID/index (index)/tag (able) field. Wherein, the SID/index/label field is variable length (variable), and the prefix SID in the routing message issued by the network device is in the SID/index/label field. The indication of whether to create the SR-BE tunnel to the network equipment in the routing information issued by the network equipment is in a flag bit field. The definition of each of the prefix SID sub-TLV fields can refer to the RFC document numbered 8667. The length of the flag bit field specified in RFC 8667 is 8 bits, where the 6 th bit and the 7 th bit of the flag bit field are not yet defined, and therefore, as a possible implementation manner for carrying an indication to indicate whether to create an SR-BE tunnel according to the embodiment of the present application, the 6 th bit or the 7 th bit of the flag bit field may BE defined as an indication to indicate whether to create an SR-BE tunnel, and specific definitions of the 0 th bit to the 5 th bit of the flag bit field may BE referred to RFC 8667. For example, the 6 th bit of the flag bit field is defined as an indication for indicating whether to create an SR-BE tunnel, and when the 6 th bit of the flag bit field takes a value of 0, the indication is used for indicating not to create the SR-BE tunnel, and when the 6 th bit of the flag bit field takes a value of 1, the indication is used for indicating to create the SR-BE tunnel.
The embodiment of the application provides a routing message issuing method and a routing message processing method respectively. The method for publishing the routing message is used for describing a process of publishing the routing message by using the network equipment as a publishing end of the routing message. The routing message processing method is used for describing the routing message processing process of the network equipment as the receiving end of the routing message.
Fig. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a method for issuing a routing message according to an embodiment of the present application. The method may be applied to a network device in a communication system as shown in any of fig. 1 to 3. As shown in fig. 6, the method includes:
The prefix SID of the destination network device is a label allocated to the address prefix of the destination network device, and the label is globally unique in the SR domain and is a value between SRGB. SRGB is a set of local labels reserved for segment routing.
In an alternative embodiment of the present application, the destination network device is network device 1. In this case, if the network device 1 is an access stratum device, for example, the network device 1 is the CSG101 in the communication system shown in fig. 1, or the network device 1 is the CSG 201 in the communication system shown in fig. 2, or the network device 1 is the access stratum device 301 in the communication system shown in fig. 3, and the indication 1 is used to indicate that the SR-BE tunnel to the destination network device is not created, that is, the indication 1 in the routing message generated by the network device 1 is used to indicate that the SR-BE tunnel to the network device 1 is not created. If the network device 1 is a convergence layer device, the indication 1 is used to indicate that an SR-BE tunnel to the destination network device is created, that is, the indication 1 in the routing message generated by the network device 1 is used to indicate that an SR-BE tunnel to the network device 1 is created.
In the embodiment of the application, because the SR-BE tunnels between most access stratum devices in the same IGP domain are useless, by carrying an indication for indicating that an SR-BE tunnel to the access stratum device is not created in a routing message generated by the access stratum device, other access stratum devices cannot create the SR-BE tunnel to the access stratum device after receiving the routing message, thereby avoiding creating a large number of useless SR-BE tunnels between the access stratum devices and reducing the maintenance difficulty of the access stratum devices. Since the convergence layer device needs to communicate with each network device in the access ring where the convergence layer device is located, the routing message generated by the convergence layer device carries an indication for indicating the creation of the SR-BE tunnel to the convergence layer device, so that the access layer device or other convergence layer devices can respectively create the SR-BE tunnels to the convergence layer device after receiving the routing message, thereby ensuring effective communication from other network devices to the convergence layer device, and further ensuring the communication performance of the communication system.
In another alternative embodiment of the present application, the destination network device is not the network device 1, i.e. the destination network device is different from the network device 1. In this case, the network device 1 may be an convergence layer device, for example, the network device 1 may be an ASG 102 in the communication system shown in fig. 1, or the network device 1 may be an ASG202 in the communication system shown in fig. 2, or the network device 1 may be a convergence layer device 302 in the communication system shown in fig. 3, and the destination network device may be an access layer device. In the routing message generated by the network device 1, the indication 1 is used to indicate that an SR-BE tunnel is created to a destination network device, and the routing message further includes an identifier of the destination network device, that is, the routing message generated by the network device 1 is used to indicate that other network devices create an SR-BE tunnel to the destination network device.
Optionally, the implementation process of the network device 1 generating the tunnel creation indication message includes: the network device 1 modifies the indication 2 in the original message issued by the destination network device into the indication 1 to obtain a tunnel creation indication message, where the indication 2 is used to indicate that the SR-BE tunnel to the destination network device is not created, that is, the network device 1 modifies the indication in the original message issued by the destination network device, which is used to indicate that the SR-BE tunnel to the destination network device is not created, into the indication used to indicate that the SR-BE tunnel to the destination network device is created, to obtain the tunnel creation indication message. In conjunction with the example related to fig. 2 or fig. 3, the network device 1 may modify and set the bit 6 of the flag bit field in the prefix SID sub-TLV field in the original message issued by the destination network device to 1 from 0, as the generated tunnel creation indication message. The original message issued by the destination network device is a routing message issued by the destination network device and containing the prefix SID of the destination network device.
Alternatively, the network device 1 may also directly generate a tunnel creation indication message, where the tunnel creation indication message includes the prefix SID of the destination network device and/or the identifier of the destination network device, and the tunnel creation indication message is used to indicate the network device that receives the tunnel creation indication message to create the SR-BE tunnel to the destination network device. The identification of the destination network device may be an IP address of the destination network device, etc. For example, the format of the tunnel creation indication message generated by the network device 1 may refer to OSPFv2 opaque LSA routing information, where OSPFv2 suspended under OSPFv2 opaque LSA extends an address prefix (address prefix) field in a prefix TLV field to BE an IP address of the destination network device, a flag bit field in a prefix SID sub-TLV field has a 6 th position of 1 (for indicating the SR-BE tunnel created to the destination network device), and a SID/index/tag field in the prefix SID sub-TLV field is a prefix SID of the destination network device. For another example, the tunnel creation indication message generated by network device 1 may refer to an LSP, where an IP prefix (IPv4 prefix) field in TLV-135 suspended from the LSP is set to the IP address of the destination network device, a 6 th position of a flag bit field in a prefix SID sub-TLV field is 1 (for indicating creation of an SR-BE tunnel to the destination network device), and a SID/index/tag field in the prefix SID sub-TLV field is set to the prefix SID of the destination network device. The tunnel creation instruction message may also be a message in other formats or a custom message, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.
In the embodiment of the application, the convergence layer device can issue a tunnel creation indication message indicating that an SR-BE tunnel is created between two access layer devices, so that the tunnel creation flexibility is improved.
In an optional embodiment of the present application, the destination network device is network device 1, and the implementation process of step 602 includes: the network device 1 issues routing messages within the IGP domain in which the network device 1 is located. The network device 1 may advertise and distribute the routing messages using a link state protocol so that all network devices located within the same IGP domain as the network device 1 can receive the routing messages issued by the network device 1.
In another alternative embodiment of the present application, the destination network device is not network device 1, and the implementation procedure of step 602 includes: the network device 1 sends a routing message to the network device 2, the indication 1 being used to indicate the creation of an SR-BE tunnel to the destination network device, the routing message further comprising an identification of the destination network device. That is, the network device 1 transmits a tunnel creation instruction message for instructing the network device 2 to create an SR-BE tunnel to the destination network device to the network device 2. The network device 1 is a convergence layer device, and the network device 2 is an access layer device. For example, the network device 1 is an ASG 102 in the communication system shown in fig. 1, and the network device 2 is a CSG101 in the communication system shown in fig. 1; or, the network device 1 is an ASG202 in the communication system shown in fig. 2, and the network device 2 is a CSG 201 in the communication system shown in fig. 2; still alternatively, the network device 1 is a convergence layer device 302 in the communication system shown in fig. 3, and the network device 2 is an access layer device 301 in the communication system shown in fig. 3.
Optionally, network device 1 is located in the same access ring as network device 2.
Optionally, in response to the network device 1 receiving the message sent by the network device 2 and addressed to the destination network device, that is, when the network device 2 has traffic to be transmitted to the destination network device, the network device 1 sends the routing message (tunnel creation indication message) to the network device 2.
In the embodiment of the application, because the routing message issued by the access stratum equipment contains the indication for indicating that the SR-BE tunnel to the access stratum equipment is not created, the SR-BE tunnel to the opposite party is not created after the routing message issued by the opposite party is received between the access stratum equipment. When there is a service flow to be transmitted to another access layer device (destination network device) in one access layer device, the access layer device will send a packet to the convergence layer device first, and then the convergence layer device forwards the packet to the destination network device. At this time, the convergence layer device senses that the access layer device has a service transmission requirement to the destination network device, and the convergence layer device can send a tunnel creation indication message for indicating the creation of the SR-BE tunnel to the destination network device to the access layer device, so that the access layer device can create the SR-BE tunnel to the destination network device, thereby realizing the creation of the SR-BE tunnel as required, reducing the number of useless SR-BE tunnels between network devices, effectively establishing the SR-BE tunnel between network devices with requirements, and improving the flexibility of tunnel creation.
Optionally, in response to that the network device 1 receives a packet whose destination address is sent by the network device 2 as a destination network device, that is, when service traffic to BE transmitted to the destination network device is to BE received in the network device 2, the network device 1 may further send a route retransmission indication message to the destination network device, where the route retransmission indication message is used to indicate the destination network device to issue a new route message, and the new route message carries a prefix SID of the destination network device and an indication indicating that an SR-BE tunnel is created to the destination network device. After receiving the route retransmission indication message, the destination network device issues a new route message in the IGP domain, where the new route message includes a prefix SID of the destination network device and an indication indicating that an SR-BE tunnel to the destination network device is created, and after receiving the new route message, other access layer devices (including the network device 2) create an SR-BE tunnel to the destination network device, and further transmit a packet to BE transmitted to the destination network device through the SR-BE tunnel. For example, when the network device 1 senses that there is a service transmission requirement from a plurality of access stratum devices to the destination network device, the network device 1 may send a route retransmission indication message to the destination network device, so that after the destination network device issues a new route message, the plurality of access stratum devices may respectively create SR-BE tunnels to the destination network device.
Fig. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a method for processing a routing message according to an embodiment of the present application. The method may be applied to a network device in a communication system as shown in any of fig. 1 to 3. As shown in fig. 7, the method includes:
in step 701, the network device 3 receives a routing message issued by the network device 4, where the routing message includes a prefix SID of the network device 4, and the routing message further includes an indication 3, where the indication 3 is used to indicate whether to create an SR-BE tunnel to the network device 4.
Optionally, network device 3 is located in the same access ring as network device 4. When the network device 3 is a convergence layer device, for example, the network device 3 is an ASG 102 in the communication system shown in fig. 1, or the network device 3 is an ASG202 in the communication system shown in fig. 2, or the network device 3 is a convergence layer device 302 in the communication system shown in fig. 3, after the network device 3 receives a routing message issued by the network device 4, the network device 3 always creates an SR-BE tunnel from the network device 3 to the network device 4, regardless of whether an indication 3 in the routing message is used to indicate that an SR-BE tunnel to the network device 4 is created or indicate that an SR-BE tunnel to the network device 4 is not created. When the network device 3 is an access stratum device, for example, the network device 3 is the CSG101 in the communication system shown in fig. 1, or the network device 3 is the CSG 201 in the communication system shown in fig. 2, or the network device 3 is the access stratum device 301 in the communication system shown in fig. 3, the following step 702 is executed.
Optionally, the process of one network device creating an SR-BE tunnel to another network device includes: the network equipment calculates a label value according to the prefix SID of the other network equipment and the SRGB of the network equipment, and generates a label forwarding table entry according to the label value.
In an optional embodiment of the present application, the indication 3 is used to indicate that no SR-BE tunnel to the network device 4 is created, and the network device 3 determines, according to the indication 3, that no SR-BE tunnel from the network device 3 to the network device 4 is created. The network device 4 may be an access stratum device, for example, the network device 4 is a CSG101 in the communication system shown in fig. 1, or the network device 4 is a CSG 201 in the communication system shown in fig. 2, or the network device 4 is an access stratum device 301 in the communication system shown in fig. 3.
Optionally, the network device 3 may store the prefix SID of the network device 4 after determining that the SR-BE tunnel from the network device 3 to the network device 4 is not created.
In this embodiment, one network device may determine not to create an SR-BE tunnel to another network device based on an indication in a routing message issued by the other network device, and store a prefix SID in the routing message issued by the other network device. Because the network device only needs to store the prefix SID of another network device, compared with the SR-BE tunnel established to the other network device, the network device does not need to calculate the label value and generate the label forwarding table entry, thereby reducing the consumed calculation resource and storage resource and also reducing the device maintenance difficulty.
In a possible case, after determining that the SR-BE tunnel from the network device 3 to the network device 4 is not created, in response to the presence of a packet to BE transmitted to the network device 4 in the network device 3, the network device 3 creates the SR-BE tunnel from the network device 3 to the network device 4 according to the prefix SID of the network device 4. Then the network device 3 transmits the message through the SR-BE tunnel.
In the embodiment of the application, when a message to BE transmitted to another access layer device exists in the access layer device, the access layer device may create an SR-BE tunnel to the another access layer device according to the stored prefix SID of the another access layer device, thereby implementing functions of flow-triggered and SR-BE tunnel creation on demand between the access layer devices.
In another possible case, after determining not to create the SR-BE tunnel from the network device 3 to the network device 4, the network device 3 receives a tunnel creation indication message sent by the network device 5, where the tunnel creation indication message includes an identifier of the network device 4, and the tunnel creation indication message is used to instruct the network device 3 to create the SR-BE tunnel to the network device 4. The network device 3 creates an SR-BE tunnel from the network device 3 to the network device 4 based on the tunnel creation indication message. Then, the network device 3 transmits the message to BE transmitted to the network device 4 through the SR-BE tunnel. Wherein, the network device 5 is a convergence layer device.
Optionally, the tunnel creation indication message further includes the prefix SID of the network device 4.
In the embodiment of the application, when the convergence layer device senses that service transmission is required from one access layer device to another access layer device, the convergence layer device may send a tunnel creation indication message for indicating creation of an SR-BE tunnel to the another access layer device to the access layer device, so that the access layer device can create the SR-BE tunnel to the another access layer device, and a function of creating the SR-BE tunnel as needed and triggered by traffic between the access layer devices is realized.
Optionally, the network device may set an aging duration for the SR-BE tunnel triggered by the traffic and created as needed, and if the network device does not transmit a packet through the SR-BE tunnel within the aging duration, the network device may remove the SR-BE tunnel, that is, delete the corresponding tag forwarding entry, thereby reducing the maintenance difficulty of the network device. If the network device transmits the message through the SR-BE tunnel within the aging duration, the network device can reset the aging duration of the SR-BE tunnel once every time the network device transmits the message through the SR-BE tunnel, that is, the network device can take the last time of transmitting the message through the SR-BE tunnel as the initial timing time of the aging duration of the SR-BE tunnel.
In another optional embodiment of the application, the indication 3 is used to indicate that an SR-BE tunnel to the network device 4 is created, and the network device 3 determines to create the SR-BE tunnel of the network device 3 to the network device 4 according to the indication 3.
In the routing message publishing method and the routing message processing method, numbering the network devices and numbering the indications in the routing message is only for convenience of description, and the publishing end of the routing message and the receiving end of the routing message may refer to the same network device, for example, the network device 1 and the network device 3 may refer to the same device, or the publishing end of the routing message and the receiving end of the routing message may also refer to different network devices, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.
Referring to the communication system shown in fig. 3, an example of the implementation process of the method provided by the embodiment of the present application is as follows:
The order of steps of the routing message issuing method and the routing message processing method provided by the embodiment of the application can be properly adjusted, and the steps can be correspondingly increased or decreased according to the situation. Any method that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application is covered by the protection scope of the present application, and thus the detailed description thereof is omitted.
In summary, in the embodiment of the present application, by issuing the indication including the SR-BE tunnel used for indicating whether to create the SR-BE tunnel to the destination network device, the network device that receives the routing message determines whether to create the SR-BE tunnel to the other side according to the indication in the routing message, so that the tunnel creation flexibility between the network devices is improved, and unnecessary SR-BE tunnels are avoided from being created. For access layer equipment in a communication system, because SR-BE tunnels between most access layer equipment in the same IGP domain are useless, a routing message issued by the access layer equipment can carry an indication for indicating that the SR-BE tunnel of the access layer equipment is not created, so that other access layer equipment cannot create the SR-BE tunnel of the access layer equipment after receiving the routing message, a large number of useless SR-BE tunnels are prevented from being created between the access layer equipment, and the maintenance difficulty of the access layer equipment is reduced. For a convergence layer device in a communication system, because the convergence layer device needs to communicate with each network device in an access ring in which the convergence layer device is located, a routing message issued by the convergence layer device may carry an indication for indicating the creation of an SR-BE tunnel to the convergence layer device, so that the access layer device or other convergence layer devices respectively create SR-BE tunnels to the convergence layer device after receiving the routing message. In addition, after receiving the routing message issued by other network devices, the convergence layer device may ignore the indication used for indicating whether to create the SR-BE tunnel to the network device in the routing message, and always create the SR-BE tunnel to the network device, that is, regardless of whether the indication carried in the routing message received by the convergence layer device is used for indicating to create the SR-BE tunnel or indicating not to create the SR-BE tunnel, the convergence layer device always creates the SR-BE tunnel to the other side, so as to ensure effective communication between the convergence layer device and other network devices, thereby ensuring communication performance of the communication system.
In addition, when the convergence layer device senses that there is a service transmission requirement from one access layer device to another access layer device, the convergence layer device may send a tunnel creation indication message for indicating creation of an SR-BE tunnel to the another access layer device to the access layer device, so that the access layer device can create the SR-BE tunnel to the another access layer device; or, when there is a message to BE transmitted to another access layer device in the access layer device, the access layer device may create an SR-BE tunnel to the another access layer device according to the stored prefix SID of the another access layer device, thereby implementing a function of creating an SR-BE tunnel between the access layer devices as needed. The number of useless SR-BE tunnels among the network devices is reduced, the SR-BE tunnels can BE effectively established among the network devices with requirements, and the tunnel creation flexibility is further improved.
