Description

Multi-rate circuit switching method and switching system

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a multi-rate circuit switching method and a switching system.

Background

The main video switching matrix in the market at present can be divided into two types, the first type is a circuit switching technology based on a cross point chip, and the second type is a packet switching technology based on a TCP/IP protocol.

However, in practice, it has been found that the following problems exist in most of the CrossPoint-based chips: 1) The exchange scale is difficult to expand, and the maximum-scale cross point exchange chip on the market can only realize 288 pairs of input and output ports. If the switching size is to be further increased, for example, the ports are doubled, then the cross point chip used is doubled. The number of chips increases exponentially, the stacking connection is extremely complex, and continuous scale up is not possible at all; 2) The switching mode is single, the switching chip can only realize port-to-port point-to-point switching, and cannot realize multipoint-to-single-point and point-to-multipoint switching. Meanwhile, the input and output of the port cannot be self-adaptive, the input can only be connected with the signal sending equipment, and the output can only be connected with the signal receiving equipment, so that the engineering implementation is extremely inconvenient; 3) The path cannot be managed, moved, copied and deleted.

For the packet switching technology based on IP, the method has stronger switching flexibility and can easily enlarge the switching scale in a multistage cascade mode, but the blocking exists, and the method is not really full switching. And the exchange based on the IP message can not realize the management of the path, and the universal IP message faces the security problems of being stolen, deciphered and the like.

Detailed Description

The following description of the embodiments of the present invention will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is apparent that the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.

It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," and the like in the description and in the claims of the present invention are used for distinguishing between different objects and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. The terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

The following detailed description refers to the accompanying drawings.

Example 1

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flow chart of a multi-rate circuit switching method according to an embodiment of the invention. As in fig. 1, the multi-rate circuit-switched method may include the following steps.

101. If the branch FPGA port is in the first rate mode, the switching system controls the second rate processing link to process the second transmission channel; wherein one of the second rate processing links occupies two transmission channels.

102. And the switching system performs rate switching processing on the second rate signal output by the second rate processing link so as to enable the second rate signal to enter the branch FPGA port.

103. If the branch FPGA port is in the second rate mode, the switching system controls the first rate processing link to process the first transmission channel into the second transmission channel; wherein one of the first rate processing links occupies one transmission channel.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the first rate is 1G rate and the second rate is 2.5G rate, if the 1G port occupies one channel, the 2.5G port may occupy two channels similarly. The scheme supports two rate modes, a single finger can be configured into a 1G rate mode (assuming a finger of 24 ports), a 2.5G rate mode (where only 12 ports are active), and each finger rate mode is completely independent.

For example, as shown in fig. 9, the switching relationship between the downstream channel and the 1G port is described (when the second rate is in the 2.5G rate mode). If the downlink channel is the signal from the 1G device, the signal will go through 1G downlink processing link (occupying 1 channel); if the downlink channel is a signal from a 2.5G device, the signal will go through the 2G downlink processing link (2 channels). For a 2.5G to 1G exchange, the 2G downlink processing link needs to complete channel two to one, then enter the 12X24 exchange, and the final link can enter the 1G port.

Also for example, as shown in fig. 10, the downstream channel is depicted in a switching relationship with the 2.5G port (2.5G rate mode). If the downlink channel is the signal from the 1G device, the signal will go through 1G downlink processing link (occupying 1 channel); if the downlink channel is a signal from a 2.5G device, the signal will go through the 2G downlink processing link (2 channels). For a 1G to 2.5G exchange, the 1G downlink processing link needs to complete channel one to two, and the final link can only enter the 2.5G port.

104. And the switching system directly transmits the first rate signal output by the first rate processing link to the branch FPGA port.

As an alternative implementation manner, in the embodiment of the present invention, the entire exchange procedure is mainly divided into three steps:

step 1 is a branch uplink switch, for example, in fig. 7, 24 ports are respectively corresponding to one channel one by one (the last 8 channels have no ports to be reserved), and then the branch uplink is a 32X32 switch;

step 2 is a backbone switch, as shown in fig. 8, where the backbone has 64 paths of 10G services, with 8 channels in each 10G service. We call 10G services horizontal channels and 8 channels in 10G services vertical channels. Then, for horizontal channels, one can understand a 64 in 64 out, 64X64 exchange; for vertical channels, one can understand an 8 in 8 out, 8X8 exchange. After the trunk exchange is completed, entering a branch downlink exchange;

step 3 is a downstream switch of the branch, as shown in the right side of fig. 7, the trunk arrives at the branch with 32 channels, and the branch has 32 channels corresponding to ports (the channels not corresponding to the branches are reserved). The downstream switch of the branch can also be regarded as a 32 in 32 out, 32X32 switch.

As an optional implementation manner, in the embodiment of the present invention, the present application may have flexible and diverse switching modes, and the present invention supports not only a port-to-point switching mode, but also a point-to-multipoint, and a multipoint-to-point switching mode. The port of the present invention supports three rates: the three rates of 1G, 2.5G and 10G are flexible and configurable, so that cross exchange between 1G and 1G, between 2.5G and between 1G and 2.5G can be realized, and aggregation from 1G port and 2.5G port to 10G optical port is supported.

In the multi-rate circuit switching method of fig. 1, a switching system is described as an example of an execution body. It should be noted that, the execution body of the multi-rate circuit switching method of fig. 1 may also be a stand-alone device associated with the switching system, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present invention.

It can be seen that implementing a multi-rate circuit-switched approach as described in fig. 1 is capable of supporting a plurality of switching modes between different rates.

In addition, implementing a multi-rate circuit switching method described in fig. 1 not only supports switching at the same rate, but also switching between different rates, so that switching modes are flexible and various.

Example two

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flow chart illustrating another multi-rate circuit switching method according to an embodiment of the invention. As in fig. 2, the multi-rate circuit-switched method may include the steps of:

201. if the branch FPGA port is in the first rate mode, the switching system controls the second rate processing link to process the second transmission channel; wherein one of the second rate processing links occupies two transmission channels.

202. And the switching system performs rate switching processing on the second rate signal output by the second rate processing link so as to enable the second rate signal to enter the branch FPGA port.

203. And the switching system directly transmits the first rate signal to the branch FPGA port through the first rate processing link.

204. If the branch FPGA port is in the second rate mode, the switching system controls the first rate processing link to process the first transmission channel into the second transmission channel; wherein one of the first rate processing links occupies one transmission channel.

205. And the switching system directly transmits the first rate signal output by the first rate processing link to the branch FPGA port.

206. And the switching system directly transmits the second rate signal to the branch FPGA port through the second rate processing link.

207. If the branch FPGA port is in the third rate mode, the switching system transmits the first rate signals output by any N first rate processing links to the branch FPGA port together; wherein N is a natural number not less than 1.

208. The switching system transmits the second rate signals output by any M second rate processing links to the branch FPGA ports together; wherein M is a natural number not less than 1.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the first rate is 1G rate and the second rate is 2.5G rate, if the 1G port occupies one channel, the 2.5G port may occupy two channels similarly. The scheme supports two rate modes, a single branch can be configured into a 1G rate mode (assuming that the branch is 24 ports), a 2.5G rate mode (only 12 ports are active at this time) and a 10G rate mode (only 3 ports are active at this time), and each branch rate mode is completely independent.

For example, as shown in fig. 11, the aggregate relationship between the downstream channel and the 10G port is described (when the third rate is in the 10G rate mode). The switching system can arbitrarily select the aggregation of 8 channels from 1G downlink processing link or 2G downlink processing link to the 10G optical port.

209. When the branch FPGA port receives message data information sent by a certain device, the switching system identifies a device type identification field in the message data information to determine whether the certain device is a signal receiving device or a signal sending device.

As an alternative implementation, in an embodiment of the present invention, the switching host of the present invention uses a specific communication protocol with the transmitting device (TX) and the receiving device (RX). When the TX and RX are accessed to the exchange host, the equipment type identification field is arranged in the data message, and the exchange host can automatically identify whether the data message is TX or RX through the equipment type identification field, and meanwhile, when the uplink and downlink are processed, the two conditions are respectively distinguished and considered, so that the same port of the exchange host can be self-adaptive to TX/RX equipment.

210. When a signal instruction of path shifting is received, the switching system deletes an initial channel used for establishing a link between a certain branch FPGA port and another branch FPGA port, and starts a redundant channel used for establishing a link between the certain branch FPGA port and the another branch FPGA port.

As an optional implementation manner, in the embodiment of the invention, the path can be effectively managed through software, and the path can be copied, moved and deleted. For example, the copying process of the present application is as follows: for example, the branch 0 port 5 and the branch 4 port 3 are linked by using the path 0, and the branch 0 port 5 can also be linked by using the path 0 and other ports, so that the copying process from the path one to the path two is realized.

As an alternative implementation manner, in the embodiment of the present invention, the moving process of the present application is as follows:

1) For example, branch 0 port 5 establishes a link with branch 4 port 3 using path 0;

2) Branch 0 port 5 may also establish a link with branch 4 port 3 using redundant path 3;

3) Deleting the path 0 of the original established link only keeps the redundant path 3, which is equivalent to realizing the moving from the path 0 to the redundant path 3, and the whole moving process can ensure the link to be continuous. The deletion process is included in the move process.

211. When a signal instruction for starting the redundant channel is received, the switching system configures the redundant vertical channel of the signal sending port, the vertical channel and the redundant horizontal channel of the signal receiving port, the transmission channel from the branch FPGA to the trunk FPGA and the transmission channel from the trunk FPGA to the branch FPGA respectively.

212. And the switching system controls the transmission channel from the trunk FPGA to the branch FPGA to enable.

213. When a signal instruction for not starting the redundant channel is received, the switching system configures a vertical channel and a horizontal channel of the trunk FPGA, a transmission channel from the branch FPGA to the trunk FPGA and a transmission channel from the trunk FPGA to the branch FPGA respectively.

214. And the switching system controls the transmission channel from the trunk FPGA to the branch FPGA to enable.

As an alternative implementation manner, in the embodiment of the present invention, the entire exchange process is configured and managed by software, and the flow is shown in step 211 to step 214:

1. if redundant channels are not used, the method comprises the following steps: 1) Configuring a horizontal channel; 2) Configuring a vertical channel; 3) Configuring a channel branching to a backbone; 4) Configuring a trunk to branch channels; 5) Enabling trunk to branch channels.

2. If redundant channels are used, this includes: 1) Configuring a TX end redundant vertical channel; 2) Configuring an RX end redundancy horizontal channel; 3) Configuring an RX end vertical channel; 4) Configuring a channel branching to a backbone; 5) Configuring a trunk to branch channels; 6) Enabling trunk to branch channels.

In the embodiment of the invention, the data format adopts a private customized protocol, is not an IP architecture, and the traditional IP type equipment cannot access the exchange host. Meanwhile, when the data enters the port, a scrambling technology is adopted, and when the data exits the port, descrambling is needed to recover correct data. The implementation process of the scrambling technology is as follows: and carrying out logic operation on the normal data by adopting a specific polynomial to obtain scrambling data. At the receiving end, it is necessary to know what this specific polynomial is in particular to correctly descramble, so as to prevent data from being stolen and decoded.

In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 6, one of the trunk FPGAs includes at least X branch FPGAs, and one of the branch FPGAs includes at least Y branch FPGA ports; wherein the X and the Y are natural numbers not less than 1, respectively.

As an alternative implementation, in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 6, a switch fabric architecture using a single backbone chip, the architecture of using multiple backbone chips in the present application is substantially the same as that of a single backbone. In fig. 6, a single trunk may be connected to a maximum of 16 branches, each branch may support 24-32 ports, each branch is connected to the trunk by using 4 pairs of 10G services, and each pair of 10G services may include 8 channels, for a total of 32 channels. Through the exchange configuration of software, the exchange of any port in a single branch can be realized, and the exchange of any port between branches can also be realized.

As an optional implementation manner, in the embodiment of the present invention, the present application can effectively solve the problems faced by the video and circuit switching matrices of the current mainstream, and is highlighted in the following aspects:

1) The invention adopts FPGA chip to independently develop switching logic, for example, adopts one trunk FPGA to realize the full switching of 512 ports, and adopts two trunk FPGAs to realize the full switching of 1024 ports. The increase of the number of the chips is in direct proportion to the increase of the port scale, and the exchange scale can be infinitely increased theoretically;

2) The invention not only supports the port point-to-point switching mode, but also supports the point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-point switching mode. The port of the present invention supports three rates: the three rates of 1G, 2.5G and 10G are flexible and configurable, so that the cross exchange between 1G and 1G, between 2.5G and between 1G and 2.5G can be realized, and meanwhile, the aggregation from 1G ports and 2.5G ports to 10G optical ports can be supported;

3) The port is adaptive, and the port can automatically identify whether a transmitting end (TX) or a receiving end (RX) is accessed, so that the port is greatly convenient for engineering implementation and layout and wiring in large-scale application.

4) The method solves the problem of path management, supports redundant paths and can move, copy and delete the paths;

5) The security problem is solved, a non-IP architecture is adopted, and meanwhile, the port data is scrambled.

It can be seen that implementing the alternative multi-rate circuit-switched approach described in fig. 2 is capable of supporting a plurality of switching modes between different rates.

In addition, the implementation of the other multi-rate circuit switching method described in fig. 2 can effectively solve the problem that the switching scale is difficult to expand.
