Embodiment
In TCP/IP (Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, transmission control protocol/Internet protocol) agreement, will be defined as D class address with 32 IP addresses of binary one 110 beginnings, be specifically designed to multicast service.The multicast address that multicast protocol message that transmits in network and multicast data message all have the D class.
In the network shown in fig. 1, it between the multicast network 110 and 130 non multicasting network 120 of not supporting multicast, wherein multicast network 110 is connected with the first edge network equipment 210 with non multicasting network 120, and multicast network 130 is connected with the second edge network equipment 220 with non multicasting network 120.The first edge network equipment 210 and the second edge network equipment 220 are all supported multicast.A multicast source is arranged in the multicast network 110, and the node that belongs to same multicast group with this multicast source is arranged in the multicast network 130, then the multicast message of multicast network 110 transmissions will be forwarded to non multicasting network 120 by the first edge network equipment 210, attempt to arrive the second edge network equipment, be forwarded to multicast network 130 again by non multicasting network 120.
Why multicast message can not directly pass through non multicasting network 120, be because the network equipment in the non multicasting network 120 can only correctly E-Packet according to unicast address, and multicast address belongs to unknown address to it, and content of message does not then influence repeating process.Thereby in the present invention, by making it pass through non multicasting network 120 for the correct unicast address of multicast message configuration.
Any two multicast networks that connect by non multicasting network can be reduced to structure shown in Figure 1, so hereinafter the method for multicasting message to traverse non multicasting network of the present invention will be described with network configuration shown in Figure 1.
Figure 2 shows that the flow chart of the method for the invention.At step S010, be the corresponding unicast address of multicast address configuration that need have by the multicast message that non multicasting network is transmitted.Because multicast message should arrive the second edge network equipment from the first edge network equipment, thereby the unicast address that is disposed should be the local interface address of the second edge network equipment.
At step S020, the interface that is connected with non multicasting network with the first edge network equipment is that the multicast message of outgoing interface arrives the first edge network equipment.
At step S030, the first edge network equipment is mapped as corresponding unicast address with the multicast address in the multicast message, and in other words, the first edge network equipment is revised as corresponding unicast address with multicast address.Afterwards, the message after the map addresses is transmitted from the interface that is connected with non multicasting network.
Under normal conditions, the first edge network equipment and the second edge network equipment are network layer devices, and connect by other network layer devices in the non multicasting network between the two.In the network layer header of TCP/IP message, TTL (Time To Live, time-to-live) field is arranged, wherein be provided with the network layer device number that this message can pass through.Message is every, and ttl value subtracts 1 through a network layer device, and when ttl value reduced to 0, this message was dropped.
Comprise multicast protocol message and multicast data message in the multicast message, the network layer device quantity that multicast data message will pass through is quite big, and ttl field all can be set to bigger numerical value basically; But the multicast protocol message that has only transmits between adjacent network layer device, and its ttl field is generally 1.For such multicast protocol message, in order to make it can pass through non multicasting network, answer execution in step S040, by the ttl field of multicast protocol message after the first edge network apparatus modifications map addresses, the network layer device number of process when making the value of ttl field be not less than by non multicasting network.
At step S050, the message after the map addresses is forwarded to the second edge network equipment according to its unicast address in non multicasting network.As previously mentioned, the message after the map addresses is an incoming interface with the interface of the second edge network equipment and non multicasting network, and the forwarding by non multicasting network arrives this interface.
At step S060, the unicast address inverse mapping that the second edge network equipment will shine upon in the message of back is original multicast address.Message after the mapping is an incoming interface with the interface of the second edge network equipment and non multicasting network, the second edge network equipment carries out the address inverse mapping to the message that receives from this interface, the unicast address that is about to this message is revised as original multicast address, and this moment, this message reverted to multicast message.
At step S070, the second edge network equipment is transmitted this multicast message to multicast network.
So far, this multicast message is not being changed message length, message is not being carried out burst, is not being revised non multicasting network and transmit under the condition of handling process and passed non multicasting network.
Always different to the node transmission of receiving multicast data from multicast source with multicast data message, the multicast protocol message often need transmit between the network equipment of supporting multicast.That is to say that having the multicast protocol message need be from second edge network device transmission to the first edge network equipment.Its transmission method is:
Before the second edge network equipment multicast protocol message that will to send with its interface that is connected with non multicasting network be outgoing interface, earlier the multicast address in the multicast protocol message is mapped as the agreement unicast address; Same agreement unicast address is the local interface address of the first edge network equipment;
The ttl field of protocol massages after the second edge network apparatus modifications map addresses, its value is not less than be forwarded to the first edge network equipment the number of network layer device of process, and send this protocol massages;
This protocol massages arrives the first edge network equipment by non multicasting network;
The first edge network equipment is original multicast address with the agreement unicast address inverse mapping in this protocol massages.
As can be seen, the mapping relations of multicast address and unicast address should be unified on two edge network equipment from above-mentioned steps, and step S010 in fact also is a process of setting up multicast address and unicast address corresponding relation on two edge network equipment.In the present invention, recommend to adopt following two kinds of methods:
First static configuration: on two edge network equipment, set up reverse mapping relations respectively, the mapping relations of multicast address and unicast address promptly are set on the first edge network equipment, the inverse mapping relation of unicast address and multicast address is set on the second edge network equipment;
It two is dynamic-configuration: the unicast address pond that dynamic assignment is set on the second edge network equipment; The first edge network equipment is carrying out address transition forward direction second edge network equipment transmission unicast address request for allocation, in order on the second edge network equipment, to set up simultaneously the corresponding relation of unicast address and multicast address, in address assignment request, carry multicast address; Second edge device receives that the request back is the available unicast address in this multicast address distribution clean culture address pool, preserves the corresponding relation of the unicast address of this multicast address and distribution, and unicast address is back to the first edge network equipment.
The dynamic-configuration of unicast address can realize by existing technology, as DHCP (Dynamic HostConfiguration Protocol, DHCP) etc.
As previously mentioned, unicast address is the local interface address of the second edge network equipment.Because the common second edge network equipment also is used for the unicast message of non multicasting network is transmitted simultaneously, for the ease of the second edge network equipment message that will carry out the address inverse mapping is discerned and handled, can be set to Loopback (loopback) interface IP address by unicast address, and make other unicast message transmit by the hardware interface address.The Loopback interface IP address is a kind of in the local address.
For the multicast protocol message that is sent to the first edge network equipment from the second edge network equipment, also can adopt above-mentioned two kinds of methods to set up the corresponding relation of unicast address and multicast address, repeat no more.
Need to prove that the interface of edge network equipment and non multicasting network is a logic interfacing; And the present invention supports all multicast protocols.
After using the above-mentioned method that can make multicasting message to traverse non multicasting network, in the network system shown in Figure 1, the first edge network equipment receives after connecting interface with itself and non multicasting network is the multicast message of outgoing interface, sends this message after the multicast address in this multicast message being mapped as the unicast address of the second edge network equipment; Non multicasting network is forwarded to the second edge network equipment with this message; The second edge network equipment carries out the address inverse mapping to this message, is sent to multicast network after the unicast address in this message is reverted to original multicast address.
Figure 3 shows that a kind of example structure of the first edge network equipment, multicast network interface 310 is the interface that the first edge network equipment is connected with multicast network, non multicasting network interface 330 is the interface that the first edge network equipment is connected with non multicasting network, address mapping module 320 and protocol address inverse mapping module 350 are connected between multicast network interface 310 and the non multicasting network interface 320, and all are connected with address memory module 340.
Address memory module 340 is used for being provided with and preserving the corresponding relation of multicast address and unicast address; Address mapping module 320 is behind the multicast message that receives 310 transmission of multicast network interface, multicast address in the multicast message is mapped as the unicast address of this multicast address correspondence in the address memory module 340, and the message transmissions after will shining upon sends in the non multicasting network by non multicasting network interface 330 to non multicasting network interface 330.
When non multicasting network interface 330 receives the multicast protocol message, protocol address inverse mapping module 350 is the multicast address of this unicast address correspondence in the address memory module 340 with the unicast address inverse mapping in this protocol massages.
Figure 4 shows that a kind of example structure of the second edge network equipment, non multicasting network interface 410 is the interface that the second edge network equipment is connected with non multicasting network, multicast network interface 430 is the interface that the second edge network equipment is connected with multicast network, address inverse mapping module 420 and protocol address mapping block 450 are connected between non multicasting network interface 410 and the multicast network interface 430, and all are connected with address memory module 440.
Address memory module 440 is used for being provided with and preserving the corresponding relation of multicast address and unicast address; The message that non multicasting network interface 410 will have the unicast address of address memory module 440 storages sends to address inverse mapping module 420, address inverse mapping module 420 is the multicast address of this unicast address correspondence in the address memory module 440 with the unicast address inverse mapping in the message, and the multicast message after the inverse mapping is transferred to multicast network interface 430, send in the multicast network by multicast network interface 430.
To the multicast protocol message that will send by non multicasting network interface 410, protocol address mapping block 450 is mapped as the unicast address of this multicast address correspondence in the address memory module 440 with the multicast address in this protocol massages, and transfers to 410 transmissions of non multicasting network interface.
Below be a preferred embodiment of the present invention, its network configuration sees also Fig. 1.In multicast network 110 multicast source is arranged, the group broadcasting program of its transmission has two, uses multicast address 224.1.1.1 and 224.1.1.2 respectively.The multicast address of the multicast protocol that moves in the network system is 224.0.0.13.The node that receives above-mentioned two group broadcasting programs is arranged in the multicast network 130.The first edge network equipment is network layer device RTA, and the second edge network equipment is network layer device RTB.

ip?map?multicast?group-address?unicast?unicast-address[ttl<ttl>]
Wherein ttl value is an option, for multicast data message, generally need not revise ttl value; For the multicast protocol message, then can revise its ttl value as the case may be.
Second command is used for a multicast address that the unicast address inverse mapping is appointment with appointment.Its order line form is as follows:
ip?antimap?unicast?unicast-address?multicast?group-address
The multicast address that relates on RTB has three.RTB need use three corresponding unicast ip addresss, and RTA need use a unicast ip address of corresponding multicast protocol message.
Configuration loopback interface Loopback1 on RTA, its IP address is 200.1.1.1/32; Configuration loopback interface Looback2 on RTB, and dispose 3 IP address: 200.2.1.1/32,200.2.1.2/32,200.2.1.3/32.In non multicasting network 120, carry out simultaneously the setting or the operation unicast routing protocol of singlecast router, guarantee that these addresses can reach in non multicasting network 120.
Multicast message disposes following mapping relations to being outgoing interface with its interface that is connected with non multicasting network 120 on RTA:
1,224.0.0.13 is mapped to 200.2.1.1, and revises TTL, and the numerical value of modification can be decided according to real network, handles the multicast protocol message that RTA issues RTB:
ip?map?multicast?224.0.0.13?unicast?200.2.1.1?ttl?25
2,224.1.1.1 is mapped to 200.2.1.2, handles one of them group broadcasting program:
ip?map?multicast?224.1.1.1?unicast?200.2.1.2
3,224.1.1.2 is mapped to 200.2.1.3, handles wherein another group broadcasting program:
ip?map?multicast?224.1.1.2?unicast?200.2.1.3
On RTA to being that the unicast message of incoming interface disposes following inverse mapping relation with Loopback1:
200.1.1.1 inverse mapping is to 224.0.0.13, to receive the multicast protocol message from RTB:
ip?antimap?unicast?200.1.1.1?multicast?224.0.0.13
On RTB to being that the unicast message of incoming interface disposes following inverse mapping relation with Loopback2:
