Fig. 3 shows node state switching schematic diagram among the present invention, as shown in Figure 3, after system powers on, all nodes all are in initial condition, rob and account for main node and enter the state of using of leading by initial condition with the position, all node broadcasting gratuitous ARP requests in the LAN of place carry the virtual ip address and this node MAC Address that externally present in this gratuitous ARP request, all the other nodes then enter stand-by state by initial condition.The master regularly sends heartbeat to standby node with node, and standby node is accepted heartbeat.Because the main heartbeat that sends with node may be because of multiple former thereby lose, therefore, if standby node is not received the main heartbeat that sends with node in the time of setting, then send heartbeat request with node to main, after the master receives heartbeat request with node, send heartbeat to standby node; After if standby node sends heartbeat request, in the time of setting, do not receive the main heartbeat that sends with node yet, then node enters the main state of using by stand-by state, all node broadcasting gratuitous ARP requests in the LAN of place, carry the virtual ip address and this node MAC Address that externally present in this gratuitous ARP request, notify the corresponding relation between each node renewal virtual ip address and the MAC Address.Forbidding (Shut Down) message by the upper strata sends can make each node enter initial condition.
Fig. 4 shows among the present invention main with node realization virtual IP address flow chart, and as shown in Figure 4, main process with node realization virtual IP address may further comprise the steps:
Step 401~step 402: node enters the main state of using, main with node all node broadcasting gratuitous ARP requests in its place LAN, carry the MAC Address of the virtual ip address that externally presents and this node in this gratuitous ARP request, notify the corresponding relation between each node virtual ip address and the MAC Address, like this, the master just can handle the data that mail to virtual ip address with node, and the ARP request of mailing to virtual ip address is responded.Main with node startup heartbeat transmission timer, this heartbeat transmission timer is used for the control master and regularly sends heartbeat to standby node with node.The above node enters the master both can refer to state that node entered the master by initial condition and uses state, can refer to that also node enters the main state of using by stand-by state.The node of initial condition can enter the main state of using by initial condition according to setting in advance directly, also can use the position according to the preemptive priority master who is provided with.
Step 403: the master judges whether to receive the heartbeat request of standby node transmission with node, if then execution in step 405; Otherwise, execution in step 404.Because the main heartbeat that sends with node may be because of multiple former thereby lose, therefore, standby node is not received in the time of setting under the situation of the main heartbeat that sends with node, can be sent heartbeat request with node to main.
Step 404: the master judges in the heartbeat transmission timer whether sent heartbeat to standby node with node, if then return execution in step 403; Otherwise, execution in step 405.The heartbeat transmission timer is used to control the master and regularly sends heartbeat to standby node with node, and the master should guarantee to send a heartbeat to standby node in the cycle of each heartbeat transmission timer with node.
Step 405~step 406: the main node of using sends heartbeat to standby node, and when current heartbeat transmission timer was overtime, the master restarted the heartbeat transmission timer with node, as current heartbeat transmission timer, and returns execution in step 403 then.
Fig. 5 shows standby node realization virtual IP address flow chart among the present invention, and as shown in Figure 5, standby node realizes that the process of virtual IP address may further comprise the steps:
Step 501~step 502: node enters stand-by state, starts the heartbeat detection timer, and this heartbeat detection timer is used for standby node and receives the main heartbeat that sends with node in whether detecting at the appointed time.The above node enters stand-by state both can refer to that node entered the master by initial condition and uses state, can refer to that also node enters the main state of using by stand-by state.The time span of the above heartbeat detection timer can equate with the time span of heartbeat transmission timer, the time span of also comparable heartbeat transmission timer is longer, as with the combination of the time span of heartbeat transmission timer and the time offset time span as the heartbeat detection timer.
Step 503: standby node judges whether receive the main heartbeat that sends with node in the heartbeat detection timer, if then execution in step 508; Otherwise, execution in step 504.The heartbeat detection timer is to be used for standby node to detect the main heartbeat that sends with node, and standby node should be received a main heartbeat that sends with node in the cycle of each heartbeat detection timer, otherwise will execution in step 504.
Step 504~step 505: standby node sends heartbeat request to main with node, and startup heartbeat request timer, this heartbeat request timer is used for detecting the main heartbeat that sends with node after standby node sends heartbeat request, standby node should be received the main heartbeat that sends with node in the heartbeat request timer, otherwise will execution in step 509.
Step 506: standby node judges whether receive the main heartbeat that sends with node in the heartbeat request timer, if then execution in step 507; Otherwise, execution in step 509.
Step 507: standby node judges in the main heartbeat with the node transmission whether carry the master with abandoning sign, if then execution in step 509; Otherwise, execution in step 508.Main can initiatively abandon it with node and mainly use the position, like this, main have master with abandon to identify with regard to portability with node in the heartbeat that standby node sends, and for example carries 0 in the heartbeat, with notify standby node its initiatively abandon the master and use the position.In addition, the master also can send switching command by communication link L1 or L2 with node, and the master who initiatively abandons self uses the position.
Step 508: when current heartbeat detection timer expiry, standby node restarts the heartbeat detection timer, as current heartbeat detection timer, and returns execution in step 503.
Step 509: node enters the main state of using by stand-by state, all nodes in its place LAN send the gratuitous ARP request, carry the MAC Address of virtual ip address and this node in this gratuitous ARP request, notify the corresponding relation between each node renewal virtual ip address and the MAC Address, as notify routing node to upgrade swap table, notify ARP Cache (Cache) the renewal IP address of other nodes and the corresponding relation between the physical address, like this, enter the master and just can handle, and the ARP request of mailing to virtual ip address is responded the data that mail to virtual ip address with the node of state.
In the 1+n backup architecture, owing to have a plurality of standby nodes, therefore, when the state of node switched, each node will be seized the master and use the position, therefore, by the priority of each node is set, make easy more the robbing of the high more node of priority account for the main position of using among the present invention.
Fig. 6 shows among the present invention 1+n backup architecture master and realizes the virtual IP address flow chart with node, as shown in Figure 6, mainly in the 1+n backup architecture realizes that with node the process of virtual IP address may further comprise the steps:
Step 601: the initial condition node judges whether the priority of this node is the highest, if then execution in step 603; Otherwise, execution in step 602.
Step 602: node enters stand-by state by initial condition, starts the heartbeat detection timer, finishes current flow process.
Step 603~step 604: node enters the main state of using by initial condition, main with node all node broadcasting gratuitous ARP requests in its place LAN, carry the MAC Address of the virtual ip address that externally presents and this node in this gratuitous ARP request, notify the corresponding relation between each node virtual ip address and the MAC Address, and main with node startup heartbeat transmission timer.
Step 605: the master judges whether to receive the heartbeat request of standby node transmission with node, if then execution in step 611; Otherwise, execution in step 606.
Step 606: the master judges in the heartbeat transmission timer whether sent heartbeat to standby node with node, if then execution in step 607; Otherwise, execution in step 611.
Step 607: the master judges with node whether contention mode opens, if then execution in step 608; Otherwise, execution in step 612.By the unlatching contention mode the standby node of high priority is robbed and accounted for the main position of using.In addition, step 607 can not need, but main in step 606, judge in the heartbeat transmission timer after standby node has sent heartbeat with node, direct execution in step 608, this is because if contention mode is not opened, main with the heartbeat of node with regard to not receiving that standby node sends, if the master receives the heartbeat that standby node sends with node, then must be to have opened contention mode.
Step 608: lead the heartbeat that judges whether to receive standby node transmission with node, if then execution in step 609; Otherwise, return execution in step 605.
Step 609: the master judges with node whether the priority of this node is higher than the priority of carrying in the heartbeat of receiving, if then return execution in step 605; Otherwise, execution in step 610.This heartbeat can comprise the heartbeat that all standby nodes send.
Step 610: node enters stand-by state by main with state, starts the heartbeat detection timer, finishes current flow process.
When opening contention mode, can carry the heartbeat of priority between each node by transmission, notify the priority of other these nodes of node, main the priority of carrying in the priority of this node and the heartbeat of receiving is compared with node, if the priority height of this node, the main position of using of then continuing to keep this node; If the priority height that carries in the heartbeat of receiving, the main position of using of then abandoning this node, this master will be seized by the highest node of priority that sends heartbeat with the position.
Step 611: the main node of using sends heartbeat to standby node, and portability has the priority of this node in this heartbeat.
Step 612: when current heartbeat transmission timer was overtime, the master restarted the heartbeat transmission timer with node, as current heartbeat transmission timer, and returns execution in step 605.
In the practical application, step 607~step 610 or step 608~step 610 can be carried out in the arbitrary moment after step 604, and like this, if the priority of this node is higher than the priority of carrying in the heartbeat of receiving, then the master does not carry out any operation with node.In addition, the described implementation of step 607~step 610 or step 608~step 610 is equally applicable to non-1+n backup architecture, gets final product so long as be provided with the priority of each node.
Fig. 7 shows the standby node realization of 1+n backup architecture virtual IP address flow chart among the present invention, and as shown in Figure 7, standby node realizes that the process of virtual IP address may further comprise the steps in the 1+n backup architecture:
Step 701: the initial condition node judges whether the priority of this node is the highest, if then execution in step 702; Otherwise, execution in step 703.
Step 702: node enters the main state of using by initial condition, main with node all node broadcasting gratuitous ARP requests in its place LAN, carry the MAC Address of the virtual ip address that externally presents and this node in this gratuitous ARP request, notify the corresponding relation between each node virtual ip address and the MAC Address, and main with node startup heartbeat transmission timer, finish current flow process.
Step 703~step 704: node enters stand-by state by initial condition, starts the heartbeat detection timer.The time span of heartbeat detection timer can equate with the time span of heartbeat transmission timer, the time span of also comparable heartbeat transmission timer is longer, as with the combination of the time span of heartbeat transmission timer and time offset time span as the heartbeat detection timer, can time offset just be set according to the priority of node, the priority of node is high more to be provided with more little time offset, for example, be limit priority if be provided with 255, then time offset can be (256-node priority)/256, be limit priority if be provided with 1, then time offset can be node priority/256.
Step 705: standby node judges whether receive the main heartbeat that sends with node in the heartbeat detection timer, if then execution in step 710; Otherwise, execution in step 706.
Step 706~step 707: standby node sends heartbeat request to main with node, and starts the heartbeat request timer.The time span of heartbeat request timer can just be set according to the priority of node, the priority of node is high more to be provided with more little heartbeat request timer time length, for example, be limit priority if be provided with 255, then the time span of heartbeat request timer can be (256-node priority)/256, be limit priority if be provided with 1, then the time span of heartbeat request timer can be node priority/256.
Step 708: standby node judges whether receive the main heartbeat that sends with node in the heartbeat request timer, if then execution in step 709; Otherwise, execution in step 712.
Step 709: standby node judges in the main heartbeat with the node transmission whether carry the master with abandoning sign, if then execution in step 712; Otherwise, execution in step 713.
Step 710: standby node judges whether contention mode opens, if then execution in step 711; Otherwise, execution in step 713.
Step 711: standby node judges whether the priority of this node is higher than the priority of carrying in the heartbeat of receiving, if then execution in step 712; Otherwise, execution in step 713.This heartbeat comprises the main heartbeat that sends with node, also comprises the heartbeat that other standby nodes send.
Step 712: node enters the main state of using by stand-by state, all nodes in its place LAN send the gratuitous ARP request, carry the MAC Address of virtual ip address and this node in this gratuitous ARP request, notify the corresponding relation between each node renewal virtual ip address and the MAC Address, as notify routing node to upgrade swap table, notify the ARP Cache renewal IP address of other nodes and the corresponding relation between the physical address, finish current flow process.
Step 713: when current heartbeat detection timer expiry, standby node restarts the heartbeat detection timer, as current heartbeat detection timer, and returns execution in step 705.
In the practical application, step 710~step 712 can be carried out in the arbitrary moment after step 704, and like this, if the priority of this node is lower than the priority of carrying in the heartbeat of receiving, then standby node does not carry out any operation.
By combining of heartbeat request timer or heartbeat request timer and time offset, guarantee that easy more the robbing of the high more node of priority accounts for the main position of using, because, short more with the time span of the high corresponding heartbeat request timer of node of priority, or the combination of the time span of heartbeat request timer and time side-play amount is just short more, therefore, when the master used node failure, just easy more the robbing of the node that priority is high more accounted for the main position of using.
More than data backup in the active and standby structure, can carry out data backup according to actual needs, need backed up data to transmit by service channel, also can transmit by newly-increased communication link L1 or L2.
The above node can be gateway device, server or needs and general node that other nodes communicate.
In a word, the above is preferred embodiment of the present invention only, is not to be used to limit protection scope of the present invention.
