Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the maintenance management technology of flexible exchanging network, particularly the detection method between medium control device and the medium processing device.
Background technology
MGCP is used for the communication between standard medium control device and the corresponding medium processing device, common MGCP comprise Media Gateway Control Protocol, H.248, media gateway controlling (MeGaCo) agreement.
H.248 agreement is the MGCP that the 16th working group of the committee of international telecommunication union telecommunication (ITU-T) proposes, and improves forming on its MGCP agreement basis in early days.And MeGaCo agreement (RFC 3525) is proposed by the Internet engineering duty tissue (IETF), also is improvement and the expansion to the MGCP agreement.
MGCP and H.248/MeGaCo agreement traditional media gateway is divided into medium control device and medium processing device, and defined the communication protocol between them, thus separating of having realized that carrying control and signaling control.Common medium control device has Media Gateway Controller (MGC), and common medium processing device has media gateway (MG).Fig. 1 is the system configuration schematic diagram of next generation network (NGN).Referring to Fig. 1, this system is made up of MGC, MG and IP network.Wherein, MG is used for monitoring and control end points, media resource etc., is responsible for the transmission of multimedia messagess such as voice, video, image, and promptly MG is responsible for carrying control; MGC is used to control the resource of MG and calling is controlled, and promptly MGC is responsible for signaling control.
For when MGC or MG break down, the other side can in time be known this fault, and Extended Protocol H.248 H.248.14 agreement has been stipulated testing mechanism between MG and the MGC:
The heartbeat timer is set in MG, sets this heartbeat length of timer by MGC or user, behind this heartbeat timer expiry, MG sends heartbeat request to MGC;
Whether MGC also can send periodic message to MG and detect MG and communicate with normal;
MG receive confirm after any message that MGC sends with MGC between communicate by letter normally, restart the heartbeat timer, when the message that receives from MGC as MG is request message, need return corresponding response to MGC.
Here, described MGC can be the audit request to the periodically packet of MG transmission.Referring to Fig. 2, Fig. 2 is based on the H.248.14 medium control device of agreement and the interacting message schematic diagram of the testing mechanism between the medium processing device, may further comprise the steps:
Step 201:MGC sends the audit request to MG;
Step 202:MG is restarted the heartbeat timer, returns the audit response to MGC.
Machines shown in Figure 2 is shaped on an obvious defects: though, MG and MGC are all working properly, but because network failure or IP network are done one's best the unreliability of transmission means, make the described audit response loss of step 202, like this, the audit response of MG response can not arrive MGC all the time.So, because MG can receive the audit request of MGC and can correctly respond that MG judges that itself and communicating by letter of MGC are normal; And in fact, because network, MGC can not normally receive the message that MG sends.As seen, above-mentioned testing mechanism can only make MG know the state of the unidirectional communications link from MGC to MG, can not make MG know the state of the communication link from MG to MGC, like this, when network failure, the state of MGC and MG no longer can be consistent, and causes the professional user such as ip voice (VOIP), Fax over IP (FOIP) and IP multimedia (MOIP) can not proper communication.
Summary of the invention

Embodiment
For making the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention is further elaborated below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.
Main thought of the present invention is: after medium processing device receives any message from medium control device, do not restart the heartbeat timer immediately; But send request to medium control device, by the time after the medium control device reception responds with this request is corresponding, just restart the heartbeat timer, thereby guarantee medium control device is known whether normal with communicating by letter of the other side with medium processing device in time, exactly.
The present invention is applicable in the network that comes to communicate by letter between standard medium control device and the medium processing device as MGCP with agreement H.248.Here, medium control device can be Media Gateway Controller (MGC), Softswitch or call server; Medium processing device can be media gateway (MG), media server, IP intelligent terminal or Call Agent.
Common medium control device is MGC, and medium processing device is MG.Be example with MGC and MG below, for two example two technical scheme of the present invention described.
Embodiment one:
Fig. 3 is the interacting message schematic diagram of detection method embodiment one of the present invention.Present embodiment is that example describes with all normal situation of the bidirectional communication link between MG, MGC and MG and the MGC.Referring to Fig. 3, this detection method may further comprise the steps:
Step 301:MGC sends message to MG.
In this step, MGC can send any message of agreement H.248 and extension protocol regulation thereof to MG, comprises request message, response message etc.Described request message can be audit request, also can be H.248 other requests of agreement and extension protocol regulation thereof.
Usually, have a heartbeat timer in MGC, in the time that this heartbeat timer is set, it is working properly with proof MGC that MGC need send heartbeat message to MG.If before this heartbeat timer expiry, MGC has any message that need send to MG, and then MGC sends this message to represent the heartbeat of oneself to MG; Otherwise if the heartbeat timer expiry, MGC can send the audit request to represent the heartbeat of oneself to MG.In testing mechanism of the present invention, whether the communication link that the message that MGC sends to MG just is used for detecting from MGC to MG is normal, irrelevant with the type of message that sends.
Suppose that MGC sends the audit request to MG in this step.
Step 302:MG receives this audit request, and returns the audit response to MGC.
In this step, when the message that receives as MG is other request messages, then return corresponding response to MGC.
Step 303:MG sends request to MGC.
In this step, MG can send the it/ito incident to MGC, also can send H.248 and other requests that define in the extension protocol to MGC.
Also have a heartbeat timer in MG, in the time that this heartbeat timer is set, it is working properly with proof MG that MG need send heartbeat message to MGC.If before this heartbeat timer expiry, MG has any request that need send to MGC, and then MG sends this request to represent the heartbeat of oneself to MGC; Otherwise if this heartbeat timer expiry, MG can send the it/ito incident to represent the heartbeat of oneself to MGC.In testing mechanism of the present invention, whether the communication link that the request that MC sends to MGC just is used for detecting from MG to MGC is normal, irrelevant with the request type that sends.
Present embodiment supposes that this heartbeat timer is overtime, and in this step, MG sends the it/ito incident to MGC.
Step 304:MGC receives this it/ito incident, and returns the it/to event response to MG.
In this step, when the request that receives as MGC is other requests, then return corresponding response to MG.Step 305:MG receives this it/ito event response, restarts the heartbeat timer.
In the present embodiment, MG receives after the response that MGC returns, and judges that the bidirectional communication link between itself and the MGC is all working properly, restarts the heartbeat timer.The heartbeat timer can realize that restarting the heartbeat timer is exactly to the timer zero clearing or to counter O reset with timer or counter.
By above explanation to the embodiment of the invention one as seen, use the detection method between medium control device of the present invention and the medium processing device, can detect the state of the bidirectional communication link between MGC and the MG, thereby guarantee MGC is known whether normal with communicating by letter of the other side with MG in time, exactly.
Embodiment two:
Fig. 4 is the interacting message schematic diagram of detection method embodiment two of the present invention, and present embodiment is normal with MG, MGC and the communication link from MGC to MG, and still, the situation of the communication link fails from MG to MGC is that example describes.Referring to Fig. 4, this detection method may further comprise the steps:
Step 401:MGC sends message to MG.
In this step, MGC can send any message of agreement H.248 and extension protocol regulation thereof to MG, comprises request message, response message etc.Described request message can be audit request, also can be H.248 other requests of agreement and extension protocol regulation thereof.
Usually, have a heartbeat timer in MGC, in the time that this heartbeat timer is set, it is working properly with proof MGC that MGC need send heartbeat message to MG.If before this heartbeat timer expiry, MGC has any message that need send to MG, and then MGC sends this message to represent the heartbeat of oneself to MG; Otherwise if the heartbeat timer expiry, MGC can send the audit request to represent the heartbeat of oneself to MG.In testing mechanism of the present invention, whether the communication link that the message that MGC sends to MG just is used for detecting from MGC to MG is normal, irrelevant with the type of message that sends.
Suppose that MGC sends the audit request to MG in this step.
Step 402:MG receives this audit request, and returns the audit response to MGC.
In this step, when the message that receives as MG is other request messages, then return corresponding response to MGC.And, suppose that the communication link from MG to MGC breaks down, cause that MG marks with dotted line in Fig. 4 to the audit response loss that MGC returns in this step.
Step 403:MG sends request to MGC.
In this step, MG can send the it/ito incident to MGC, also can send H.248 and other requests that define in the extension protocol to MGC.
In MG, also there is a heartbeat timer, the detailed description of this heartbeat timer is seen also appropriate section in embodiment one step 303, do not giving unnecessary details here.
Hypothesis is before this heartbeat timer expiry in the present embodiment, and MG has need be to the request of MGC transmission, so MG sends this request to represent the heartbeat of oneself to MGC.But, because the communication link from MG to MGC breaks down, cause described MG to lose to the request that MGC sends, in Fig. 4, mark with dotted line.
Heartbeat timer expiry among the step 404:MG, MG sends the it/ito incident to MGC.
Because MG loses to the request that MGC sends in the step 403, so MG can not receive that MGC returns in the time that the heartbeat timer is set corresponding to this request responding.Therefore, the heartbeat timer among the MG is with overtime, and at this moment, MG can send the it/ito incident to MGC.
The same with step 402 and step 403, because the communication link from MG to MGC breaks down, cause this it/ito incident to be lost, in Fig. 4, mark with dotted line.
Step 405:MG does not receive the response that MGC returns, and the heartbeat timer is overtime once more, and MG judges the communication link fails from MG to MGC.
In this step, if MG reaches certain threshold value to the request number of times that MGC sends, and do not receive corresponding response, and the heartbeat timer is overtime once more, then judges the communication link fails from MG to MGC.
According to the regulation of agreement H.248, the threshold value of the heartbeat request number of times between MG and the MGC can preestablish, and H.248 the concrete grammar of setting threshold value please refer to the pertinent regulations of agreement carries out, and does not repeat them here.When the heartbeat request number of times reaches the threshold value of setting, and the heartbeat timer is when overtime once more, and MG will judge that interface interrupts between itself and the MGC, at this moment, can adopt H.248 the failure handling mechanisms of protocol definition to handle, and for example re-registers.Since the focusing on of the present invention program in time known medium control device and medium processing device communicate by letter between them normally whether, and failure handling mechanisms does not belong within the scope that the present invention discusses, so will not describe in detail at this.
More than be explanation, use this testing mechanism of the present invention, can detect the state of the bidirectional communication link between MGC and the MG, thereby guarantee MGC is known whether normal with communicating by letter of the other side with MG in time, exactly the embodiment of the invention two.
The above is preferred embodiment of the present invention only, is not to be used to limit protection scope of the present invention.All any modifications of being done within the spirit and principles in the present invention, be equal to replacement, improvement etc., all should be included within protection scope of the present invention.
