Description

A kind of critical path based on Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol is by the information monitoring method
Technical field
The present invention relates to the network communications technology, particularly relate to based on Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) critical path is monitored by change in information, and switch the method that the back keeps optimum route at router.
Background technology
VRRP is a kind of redundancy backup agreement, and standard agreement is RFC 2338.VRRP is operated in the local area network (LAN) (for example Ethernet) with multicast or broadcast-capable, can guarantee when the next hop router of main frame in the local area network (LAN) breaks down, can in time substitute by another router, thereby keep communication continuity and reliability between main frame and the router.A virtual router is made up of a primary route device and several backup routers, and the primary route device is realized real forwarding capability.When the primary route device broke down, route stand-by will be taken over former primary route device automatically to be become new primary route device and works on.The operation principle of VRRP is as shown in Figure 1:
Suppose that Router A links to each other with Ethernet by interface A (IP address 10.100.10.2) among Fig. 1, RouterB links to each other with Ethernet by interface B (IP address 10.100.10.3).On behalf of two main frames, Host1, Host2 link to each other with Ethernet by Ethernet interface respectively.Router A and Router B form a virtual router one, and virtual ip address is 10.100.10.1.Main frame Host1 in the local area network (LAN) and the default route of Host2 oneself are set to the virtual address 10.100.10.1 of this virtual router.Like this, the main frame in the local area network (LAN) just comes to communicate with other networks by virtual router.
Existing VRRP technology provides the function to the supervision of router interface, promptly not only monitor the interface at virtual router place, for example, when breaking down, the interface A of Router A starts backup functionality, and can monitor other certain interface on the router Router A, for example when other interfaces of Router A are unavailable, also can use backup functionality.
In the prior art, when interface and other monitoring interfaces at virtual router place are unavailable, just need enable backup functionality.But the disabled situation of interface only reflects router a kind of special state in service, can not reflect the real operation conditions of router fully.For example, in store routing table information in the router, routing table information has determined data and message transmission.If network topology changes, the load of network node fault or forwarding router strengthens, all can cause the renewal with routing table recomputated of network route.Routing iinformation in the routing table after the renewal is compared with former routing iinformation, not necessarily optimum route.Therefore, carry out the network data message forwarding if still continue to use this router, will certainly cause propagation delay time to strengthen, efficiency of transmission reduces, and influences the customer service quality.And optimum route determines that according to routing metric this route optimum of the more little explanation of routing metric, routing metric are subjected to factor affecting such as router load, network transfer delay, bandwidth.

Technical problem to be solved by this invention is the continuous increase at network size, network traffic data, user number further increases, the user is for the more and more higher present situation of routing device reliability requirement, proposed a kind of critical path based on the VRRP agreement by the information monitoring method.When the routing iinformation that is monitored router is deleted, the variation of routing metric and when changing, start the VRRP backup functionality, search the backup router that has optimum route in backup group, guarantee that the user data message all is to transmit by optimum route all the time.
The method of the invention comprises the steps;
Step 1 is provided with the VRRP Monitor Flag to crucial routing iinformation;
Step 2 monitors the variation of routing iinformation, changes if routing iinformation takes place, and then reports event of change of route information to give router VRRP processing module;
After step 3, the VRRP module of primary route device are received the incident of crucial routing iinformation change, adjust primary route device priority, with amended precedence information notice backup router;
Step 4, backup router detect primary route device priority and change, relatively the priority of primary route device and the priority of self, if the priority of backup router self is bigger, then take over former primary route device, become new primary route device, otherwise it is constant to maintain the original state.
Aforesaid critical path based on Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol is by the information monitoring method, in the described step 1, VRRP Monitor Flag to crucial routing iinformation is set, can be provided with by the mode of control desk by the user, also can identify crucial routing iinformation by webmaster by the user with order line.
Aforesaid critical path based on Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol is by the information monitoring method, and the Monitor Flag of VRRP can be provided with a plurality of, promptly many routing iinformation list items is monitored.
