Symmetry MAC in MAC encapsulation is meant: the edge equipment that carries out two interconnected customer networks by operator's Ethernet can be to the outside MAC head of packet encapsulation, and the address of described outside MAC head is that service inserts MAC Address.
The present invention is described in further detail below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.
Figure 2 shows that the network system schematic diagram of customer network edge equipment symmetry MAC in MAC encapsulation.
As shown in Figure 2: customer network CN1 (Customer Network) links to each other with the Ethernet CEN of operator (Carrier Ethernet Network) with customer network CN2; CB1, CB2 be respectively CN1 and CN2 edge equipment and can be to the packet encapsulation that sends to CEN or the outside MAC head of decapsulation (source address of outside MAC head and destination address are respectively the source service inserts MAC Address and the purpose service inserts MAC Address); PB1, PB2 are the edge equipments of CEN, and CN1 links to each other with service access interface A by the port B on the CB1 and inserts CEN, and CN2 links to each other to come access carrier Ethernet CEN by the port D on the CB2 with service access interface Z.
In the network model of symmetrical MAC in MAC encapsulation shown in Figure 2, packet is before sending from port B, D, must just can send by package outside MAC head, therefore, port B, D are MAC inMAC pattern transmit port, carrier network CEN disposes and provides the address of connected service access interface A to the edge equipment CB1 of customer network CN1, to the edge equipment CB2 of customer network CN2 configuration and the address of connected service access interface Z is provided, these addresses will be used during to outside MAC of packet encapsulation at CB1, CB2.
In network system shown in Figure 2, when packet needs when customer network CN1 sends to customer network CN2 through the Ethernet CEN of operator, customer network edge equipment CB1, CB2 and the Ethernet edge equipment PB1 of operator, PB2 are as follows to the main processing procedure of this data flow:
1, customer network edge equipment CB1 carries out the encapsulation of outside MAC head to packet, the source address of described outside MAC head is that the source service inserts MAC Address (address of the service access interface A that links to each other with CB1), and destination address is that the purpose service inserts MAC Address (address of the service access interface Z that links to each other with CB2).Wherein, purpose service access MAC Address is to determine by the mapping table that the search purposes service inserts between MAC Address, purpose client mac address, the transmit port; The source client mac address that the packet of described mapping table is CB1 to the encapsulation that receives outside MAC carries out decapsulation when handling inserts MAC Address and internal mac head according to the source service of the outside MAC head of packet is set up; If can't determine that according to mapping table the purpose service inserts MAC Address, then extends this as it broadcast address or multicast address;
2, after the edge equipment PB1 of operator's Ethernet receives the packet of package outside MAC head, if it is carried out safety inspection---the source address of the outside MAC head of packet is not the address of service access interface A, then abandon this packet, otherwise continue to transmit; In the case, also can further be optimized processing: to service access interface A, operator's Ethernet edge equipment is to closing the process of carrying out address learning according to the source client mac address from the packet of described service access interface A, and be responsible for setting up a forwarding-table item: service inserts MAC Address, service access port identifier, described when transmitting the edge equipment that is used for carrier network and transmitting the packet receive, insert MAC Address according to the purpose service of outside MAC head and determine transmit port;
3, the equipment of operator's Ethernet inside carries out address learning---and promptly determine transmit port, transmit packet by the transmit port of determining then according to the destination address of the outside MAC head of packet;
4, after carrier network edge equipment PB2 receives the packet that has encapsulated outside MAC head, determine service access interface Z, packet is sent by the service access interface Z that determines according to the outside MAC head's service access MAC Address.
5, after the edge equipment CB2 of customer network receives the packet that has encapsulated outside MAC head, the port that inserts the source client mac address of MAC Address, internal head and receive packet according to the source service of the outside MAC head of packet is learnt the purpose service, and to insert the mapping of MAC Address, purpose client mac address, transmit port related, the outside MAC head of decapsulation packet sends by the transmit port of determining then.
Figure 3 shows that the network system schematic diagram of the asymmetric MAC in of client's bridge network edge equipment MAC encapsulation.
Asymmetric MAC in MAC encapsulation is meant: carry out two interconnected customer networks by operator's Ethernet, the edge equipment that the same operator Ethernet of a customer network connects has the encapsulation ability that service inserts MAC Address, and the edge equipment that the same operator Ethernet of another customer network connects does not have the encapsulation ability that service inserts MAC Address.
As shown in Figure 3: the CB1 on the CN1 does not have the ability that the packet encapsulation service that sends to CEN is inserted MAC Address, and the CB2 on the CN2 has the ability that the packet encapsulation service that sends to CEN is inserted MAC Address, needs this moment the edge equipment PB1 of operator that is connected with customer network CN1 packet to be served the encapsulation that inserts MAC Address.
In this case, port D is a MAC in MAC pattern transmit port, and promptly when CN2 sent packet to CN1 by CEN, packet was sent by MAC in MAC pattern transmit port D after must finishing the encapsulation of service access MAC Address by CB2; When CN1 sent packet to CN2 by CEN, the packet that service access interface A receives was transmitted after must finishing the encapsulation of serving the access MAC Address by PB1 again, and serve access interface A this moment also is MAC in MAC pattern receiving port simultaneously.
In network system as shown in Figure 3, when packet when customer network CN1 sends to client's bridge network CN2 through carrier network CEN, client's edge equipment CB1, CB2 and the Ethernet edge equipment PB1 of operator, PB2 are as follows to the main handling process of this packet:
1, customer network edge equipment CB1 handles according to the data forwarding mode of traditional Ethernet packet, promptly carry out address learning according to the source address of packet, determine transmit port according to the destination address of packet then, send packet from the transmit port of determining then;
2, after the edge equipment PB1 of operator's Ethernet receives the data that come from service access interface A, give outside MAC head of packet encapsulation, transmit packet then.The source address of this outside MAC head is the address of service access interface A, and destination address is that the purpose service inserts MAC Address, promptly serves the address of access interface Z.In the case, also can further be optimized processing: to corresponding MAC inMAC pattern receiving port (promptly serving access interface A), operator's Ethernet edge equipment takes to forbid the mode learnt to this service access interface, and be responsible for setting up a forwarding-table item: service inserts MAC Address, service access port identifier, and the described edge equipment that is used for carrier network of transmitting is transmitted the packet of receiving;
3, the equipment of carrier network inside carries out address learning---and promptly determine transmit port, transmit packet by the transmit port of determining then according to the purpose service access MAC Address of the outside MAC head of packet;
4, after the edge equipment PB2 of operator's Ethernet receives the packet that has encapsulated outside MAC head, determine transmit port, packet is sent from transmit port according to the purpose service access MAC Address of outside MAC head;
5, after the edge equipment CB2 of customer network receives the packet that has encapsulated outside MAC head, carry out address learning according to the source service access MAC Address of the outside MAC head of packet, the source client mac address of internal head and the port of reception packet, set up the mapping association of purpose service access MAC Address, purpose client mac address, transmit port, remove the outside MAC head of packet then, send by transmit port.
In fact, the edge equipment of customer network is except receiving packet that sends to another customer network and the packet that sends to this customer network by operator's Ethernet, also can receive need be at the inner packet that sends of this customer network, equally, the edge equipment of operator's Ethernet also can be received the packet that sends to inner miscellaneous equipment, and the forwarding of these packets does not need to serve the encapsulation that inserts MAC Address.Therefore, in above-mentioned two kinds of network systems, the edge equipment of client's bridge network all need be implemented as shown in Figure 4 following handling process to all packets of receiving:
1, after the customer network edge equipment is received packet, if packet comes from " MAC in MAC pattern transmit port ", then carry out address learning according to outside MAC head and the source address internal mac head of packet, remove the outside MAC head of packet then, purpose client mac address and forwarding tables of data according to packet internal mac head are determined transmit port, transmit packet from the transmit port of confirming then;
The detailed process of above-mentioned address learning is: the source service according to the outside MAC head of packet inserts MAC Address, the port address of the source client mac address of internal mac head and reception packet, it is related to learn a mapping: the purpose service inserts MAC Address, the purpose client mac address, transmit port, thereby set up purpose service as shown in table 1 and insert MAC Address, the purpose client mac address, mapping table between the transmit port, when this mapping table is used for outside MAC of packet encapsulation, the purpose service of determining outside MAC head according to the purpose client mac address of packet inserts MAC Address, and the edge equipment that also is used for customer network is transmitted the packet that has encapsulated outside MAC head.
| The purpose client mac address | The purpose service inserts MAC Address | Transmit port |
Table 1
For the present addresses forwarding table structure of compatibility, also can pass through two list items of study acquisition that the external head source is served the source client mac address of access MAC Address and internal head, received the port address of packet: (1) data forwarding list item: purpose client mac address, transmit port; (2) mapping item: the purpose service inserts MAC Address, purpose client mac address.These two list items are put into " forwarding tables of data " and " mapping table " respectively.With traditional ethernet address learning art, to take corresponding aging mechanism to this forwarding tables of data and mapping table.
2, if receive packet be not that then the source client mac address according to packet carries out address learning from " MAC in MAC pattern transmit port ", and according to the purpose client mac address of packet with transmit tables of data and determine transmit port;
If the transmit port of determining is not " a MAC in MAC pattern transmit port ", then transmit according to traditional Ethernet data pass-through mode;
If the transmit port of determining is " a MAC in MAC pattern transmit port ", then the edge equipment of customer network is to outside MAC head of this packet encapsulation, and the source address of this outside MAC head and destination address are that operator is the service access MAC Address of its distribution.Specifically, the source address of outside MAC head is that the source service inserts MAC Address (P-S MAC), and destination address is that the purpose service inserts MAC Address (P-DMAC).It is that the service that is linked into carrier network in this locality that has been configured inserts MAC Address that the source service inserts MAC Address, and this value is distributed to this locality by carrier network, and it is related with local transmit port; P-D MAC inserts MAC Address in the service that the far-end customer network is linked into carrier network, and the purpose client mac address that it can be comprised by packet and " purpose client mac address and purpose service insert the relationship maps table of MAC Address " of foundation are determined.If can't determine P-D MAC, then P-D MAC is extended this as a broadcast address or multicast address according to mapping table;
The single project relevant with the purpose client mac address in " the relationship maps table of purpose client mac address and purpose service access MAC " generally is to obtain through mapping study, also can be by human configuration.When operator's Ethernet provides point-to-point interconnection to client's bridge network, this moment, there were fixing mapping relations in P-D MAC and its corresponding P-S MAC, did not therefore need the process of address learning, can be by operator's Ethernet human configuration.
Corresponding to the edge equipment of operator's Ethernet, then need to implement processing data packets process as shown in Figure 5:
1, if packet is not a MAC in MAC pattern receiving port from service access interface and this port, whether the source address of then judging the outside MAC head of user data package is the address of local service access interface, if then transmit according to transmitting, otherwise abandon this packet, this process can be regarded service as and insert the MAC Address safety inspection;
2, if packet is a MAC in MAC pattern receiving port from service access interface and this port, then to outside MAC head of packet encapsulation, the source address of outside MAC head is that the source service inserts MAC Address, destination address is that the purpose service inserts MAC Address, transmits packet then.
3, if packet is not from the service access interface, then carries out address learning, and determine transmit port according to the target MAC (Media Access Control) address that packet comprises according to the source MAC that packet comprises;
If the transmit port of determining is that service access interface and this service access interface are MAC in MAC pattern receiving ports, then the source service according to the outside MAC head of packet inserts MAC Address, the port address of the source client mac address of internal mac head and reception packet, it is related to learn a mapping: the purpose service inserts MAC Address, the purpose client mac address, transmit port, thereby set up purpose service as shown in table 1 and insert MAC Address, the purpose client mac address, the mapping table of transmit port, when this mapping table is used for outside MAC of packet encapsulation, the purpose service of determining outside MAC head according to the purpose client mac address of packet inserts MAC Address, also is used to transmit the packet that has encapsulated outside MAC head.
If the transmit port of determining is that service access interface and this port are not MAC in MAC pattern receiving ports, then packet is sent by transmit port;
If the transmit port of determining is not the service access interface, then transmit processing according to existing Ethernet data forwarding mode.
The present invention also provides a kind of Ethernet data transmission system, comprises at least two customer networks and operator's Ethernet; Described customer network is connected to come the access carrier Ethernet by its edge equipment with the service access interface, and described service access interface is positioned at operator's Ethernet edge equipment; Described system also comprises:
