Description

Multi-processing equipment of NMS and controlling method therefore

The present invention relates to a multi-processing apparatus of a network management system and a control method thereof, and more particularly, to a multi-processing system of a multi-processing command signal input from a plurality of NMSs by configuring a system interface structure of a MCU. It relates to a processing apparatus and a control method thereof.

In general, the optical communication method is a technology that has been rapidly used in the field of the transmission network or international communication lines due to the rapid development of the technology and advantages such as low loss, broadband, light weight, induction of optical fiber. In particular, the optical communication method as described above uses an optical cable composed of an optical fiber. At this time, an optical transmission system such as a transmission equipment such as a fiber loop carrier (FLC) is used to transmit a signal through the optical cable. In addition, in the optical transmission system as described above, in consideration of the importance of communication network operation management in accordance with the recommendation of ITU-T, as an automation / centralization concept for a communication network, an operation system element, for example, a network management system (hereinafter referred to as NMS) It is provided with a plurality.

In addition, such an NMS is an operation system that usually operates a communication network in the form of automation / centralization, and because of its characteristics, is connected to a control object such as a plurality of channel units, for example, a plurality of channel units. It basically collects and accumulates various kinds of information and processes and processes various communication network management information from these information. At this time, in order for the NMS to access the control targets, it must be accessed by the MCU (Main control unit) of the optical transmission system.

Then, referring to the MCU of the conventional optical transmission system as described above with reference to Figure 1, receiving the packet data output from a plurality of NMS (70A-N) or operator PC 71 to separate the control command signal and transmit from the infrastructure A PENTRA module 72 for converting the processed result data into packet data and transmitting the packet data to a corresponding device; and whether the control command signal input from the PENTRA module 72 is MML (Man machine language) or binary. A pentra application module 74 which determines whether the signal is output to the corresponding loop, and a network equipment interface module 75 which interfaces a control command signal input from the pentra application module 74; According to the control command signal input from the NEI module 75, a neif (network equipment interface function) module for selecting a corresponding control command function among a plurality of control command functions and changing the value and outputting the 76 and a system for executing a command set from a control target, for example, the corresponding channel units 77A-N, according to the control command value input from the neif module 76, and transmitting the result data to the neif module 76. Module 78.

Here, the pentra (pentra) is a module for supporting TCP and OSI at the same time by stably supporting UDP as an internal protocol of LG (Cross).

On the other hand, the command processing method of the MCU 69 of the conventional optical transmission system as described above, first, the packet data containing the control command signal from the operator PC 71 or other NMS (70A-N) of the MCU 69 pent Transfer to the module 72. Then, the pentra module 72 detects whether a control command signal, for example, an arbitrary channel unit 77A-N has failed, among the packet data output from the plurality of NMSs 70A-N or the operator PC 71. Extracts a command signal to report and outputs the command signal to the pentra application module 74 through the set protocol.

Then, the pentra application module 74 determines whether the control command signal input from the pentra module 72 is an MML module signal or binary, and if the MML module signal is transmitted to the MML module 73, if the binary signal Transmit to NEI module 75. The NEI module 75 interfaces a control command signal input from the pentra application module 74 to the neif module 76. In addition, the neif module 76 selects a corresponding control command function from among a plurality of control command functions according to the control command signal input from the NEI module 75, changes the value, and outputs it to the system module 78. Then, the system module 78 according to the control command input from the neif module 76, for example, if the control command is a signal for confirming whether the corresponding channel unit 77A is a failure flag of the corresponding channel unit 77A. Search and determine whether there is a failure, and then output the result data to the neif module 76.

At this time, the result data is output to the pentra module 72 via the neif module 76, the NEI module 75, and the pentra application module 74 through the reverse process. Then, the pentra module 72 converts the input result data into packet data and transmits the result data to the requesting operator PC 71 or the NMS 70A-N. The pentra module 72 performs one command signal through the above process, and then performs another input command again through the above process.

However, in the conventional MCU instruction processing method, since only one processing path exists between the Pentra application module 74 and the NEI module 75, one or more instructions cannot be processed simultaneously, and the previous instruction is processed. As the next command must be processed later, the efficiency of the data processing of the MCU is very low, and when multiple NMSs are connected, the problem of failing to process command signals inputted from them simultaneously and return fail There was this.

Accordingly, the present invention has been invented to solve the conventional problems as described above. By configuring the system interface structure of the MCU with a plurality of processor modules and multi-processing the command signals input from the plurality of NMSs, the plurality of NMSs can be simultaneously processed. It is an object of the present invention to provide a multi-processing device and a control method of the network management system that can maximize the efficiency of the data processing of the MCU, because the rapid processing of multiple access signals sequentially without delay.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a network management system capable of stably providing a response to the processing command of the NMS, because a plurality of queues in the pentra application module are loaded and processed process data input and output to the NMS sequentially A multiprocessing apparatus and a control method thereof are provided.

The present invention for achieving the above object is a pentra module that receives the packet data output from a plurality of NMS to separate the control command signal and converts the processing result data transmitted from the infrastructure to the packet data to transmit to the corresponding equipment And a pentra application module which sequentially loads and processes a plurality of control commands inputted from the pentra module and the result data for the control commands in a storage area, and is connected to a plurality of pentra application modules.

In addition, the pentra application module 4 sequentially stores and outputs a plurality of control command signals input from the pentra module 3 and the plurality of system interface modules 5A-N. And a second queue 7 which sequentially stores processing result data according to a plurality of control command signals received from the &lt; RTI ID = 0.0 &gt;

In addition, each of the system interface modules 5A-N includes an NEI module 8 for interfacing a control command signal input from the pentra application module 4 and a control command signal input from the NEI module 8. Accordingly, the neif module 9 selects a corresponding control command function from among the plurality of control command functions and changes the value, and outputs the control object according to the control command value input from the neif module 9, for example, the corresponding channel unit 10. It includes a system module 11 for executing a command set from the () to transmit the resulting data to the neif module (9).

Next, the control method of the present invention as described above will be described.

As shown in FIG. 3, the method of the present invention proceeds from the initial state S1 to the control command receiving step S2 to receive and process the control commands transmitted from the plurality of NMSs. After the control command receiving step S2, the control proceeds to the sequential storage step S3, and the plurality of control commands are sequentially stored in a corresponding queue having a plurality of control commands and then output. In addition, after the sequential storage step S3, the data polling step S4 is performed, and a plurality of processing modules periodically poll a storage space in which control commands are stored sequentially to read data.

After the data execution step (S5), the result data storage step (S6) proceeds to store a plurality of processed control commands in a corresponding queue provided with a plurality of sequentially and then output. In addition, after the result data storing step S6, the process proceeds to step S7 and transmits the result data to the corresponding NMS requesting the result data.

That is, when packet data including a request signal for confirming whether the channel unit 10 is faulty is input to the pentra module 3 from the plurality of NMSs 1A-N located above, the pentra module 3 is input. (3) extracts only the control command signal from the packet data and outputs the control command signal to the Pentra application module 4 through the set internal protocol. Then, the pentra application module 4 stores the control command signal input from the pentra module 3 in the first queue 6 and outputs the control command signal to the corresponding system interface module 5A-N. When there are a plurality of control commands, the pentra application module 4 sequentially stores the control commands in the first queue 6 in the order in which the control commands are input.

Here, the NEI module 8 of each system interface module 5A-N is in an idle state, and periodically polls the first queue 6 of the pentra application module 4 so that control command data is stored. If it exists, it is read and output to the neif module (9) at the bottom. At this time, if there is no control command data in the first queue 6, the remaining system interface modules 5A-N remain idle.

Meanwhile, the nief module 9 of the system interface module 5A-N receiving the control command data selects a corresponding control command function from among a plurality of control command functions according to the control command signal input from the NEI module 8. The value is changed and output to the system module 11.

Then, the NEI module 8 outputs the processing result data according to the control command input from the lower neif module 9 to the pentra application module 4.

Here, each of the system interface modules 5A-N receives the control command and processes the same, and outputs the processing result data to the pentra application module 4 through the above process.

Then, the pentra application module 4 sequentially stores the processing result data input from each system interface module 5A-N in the second queue 7 and outputs the resultant data to the pentra module 3. Then, the pentra module 3 converts the process result data output from the second queue 7 of the pentra application module 4 into packet data, and then converts the packet result into the corresponding NMS (1A). -N).

Therefore, according to the present invention, control commands output from a plurality of NMSs are sequentially stored in a first queue, and these commands are distributed using a plurality of system interface modules 5A-N, and the processed result data is processed. Since the second queue 7 is sequentially stored in the second queue 7 and then transmitted to the corresponding NMS, even if a control command is simultaneously input from the NMS, it can be processed smoothly.

As described above, according to the present invention, the system interface structure of the MCU is composed of a plurality of processor modules and the multi-processing command signals input from the plurality of NMSs are used to sequentially process the signals simultaneously accessed from the plurality of NMSs without delay. As it can be processed quickly, the MCU has the advantage of maximizing the efficiency of data processing.
