Description of the Invention: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a ring network architecture. In particular, it relates to a ring network coupling architecture that couples a plurality of ring networks. [Prior Art] A computer network can be simply defined as: the overall working environment formed by connecting most computers or communication devices to each other. If it is differentiated by coverage, it can be easily divided into Local Area Network (LAN), Metropolitan Area Network (MAN), and Wide Area Network (Wide Area).

Network,WAN)等三種。其中區域網路是涵蓋範圍最小的網 路,通常是以同一辦公室、同一楝建築、或同一個校園為 範圍的網路。 在網路的世界中’為了能順利傳輸及交換資料,必須 有共同遵守的規則,因此通訊協定就應運而生。目前的通 訊協定以 International Organization of Standardization(IOS) 在 1984 年所訂定的 Open System Interconnection (OSI)以及 IEEE所制定的project 802系列為主要通訊協定。而乙太網 Φ 路(Ethemet)就是目前最常見的區域網路架構之一。 網路架構不單指網路的連結拓璞型式(t〇p〇1〇gy),還包 含網路的實體媒介與資料存取方式,OSI網路模型是理想 狀態下的網路架構,在現實世界中所看到的網路架構則包 含乙太網路(Ethernet)、記號環網路(Token-Ring)、ARCnet、Network, WAN) and so on. The regional network is the smallest network, usually in the same office, the same building, or the same campus. In the world of the Internet, in order to be able to transmit and exchange data smoothly, there must be rules for mutual compliance, so the communication protocol came into being. The current communication protocol is based on the Open System Interconnection (OSI) set by the International Organization of Standardization (IOS) in 1984 and the project 802 series developed by IEEE as the main communication protocol. Ethmet is one of the most common regional network architectures. The network architecture does not only refer to the network connection topology (t〇p〇1〇gy), but also includes the physical media and data access methods of the network. The OSI network model is the ideal network architecture in reality. The network architecture seen in the world includes Ethernet, Token-Ring, ARCnet,

In order to further understand the features and contents of the present invention, please Reference is made to the detailed description of the invention and the accompanying drawings. [Embodiment] The ring network coupling of the present invention is a combination of a plurality of ring networks, and each ring network can be a ring network having several mechanisms. road. Among them, each ring network has a redundant controller, which uses the control packet and generates a redundant mechanism when the network is disconnected, so that the data can be temporarily restored. Referring to FIG. 1, a ring network interface structure provided by the present invention includes a first ring network 1 and a second ring network 2, wherein the two-shaped path itself has a plurality of numbers. A network device such as a switch, and the ring network described above may be an Ethernet network. The coupling group, defined on the first ring network, is composed of a plurality of couplers, and the wheeler stores the _ to the parent of the other ring network 8 1321415. That is to say, the coupler is respectively connected to the corresponding switch on the other ring network through the respective coupling lines, and the first ring network 1 is coupled with the second ring network 2 to facilitate the first Two switches in the ring network 1 are selected as couplers 101, 102 and coupled to the two switches 103, 104 of the second ring network 2, respectively. At this time, the two couplers 1 (H, 1〇2 constitute a coupling group of the ring network coupling architecture, and automatically select the coupler 1〇1 to become a master 111, and another coupler 1 〇2 becomes a slave 112. Then, the master who picks up the better line in the slave 112 becomes the standby 112. Since there are only two couplers in the coupling group Therefore, the slave 112 is a standby 112. The coupling line between the controller 111 and the switch 103 is a main path 11. The main path n is a conductive state, and the data is transmitted between the two ring networks. The main channel. The coupling line between the slave 112 and the switch 1〇4 is an alternate path 12, and the standby path 12 is blocked (bl〇ck) under the normal condition that the main path u is continuous. The main work of the 111 in the ring network architecture is to turn on the coupling line 11 (forwar (jing coupiing (four) and transmission control packet (trol packet). The main job of the slave 112 is to block the coupling coupiing line, That is, the alternate path 1 2 Blocking up. When there are multiple slaves 112 in the right ring network coupling architecture, the slave 112 of the recorded line is selected as the standby 112. The main job of the standby 112 is when the controller ιη belongs When the main path n is broken or faulty, the standby 112 will follow the path of the device 9 to provide information to continue transmission. The ring network is in the normal state == The device that sends the -first-control seal (four) = return packet will give a response, and the transmission is not = confirm the coupling line and the switch heart ring network _ _ under the normal wire, the U6-shaped H-package Satoshi 112, It is normal to inform the controller 111 of the controller 111 that the state of the controller 111 is normal. The second control packet is transmitted at each fixed time interval. m is lost for a predetermined number of times (generally preset to three times) On the second control day, the genus 112 will think that the controller has a problem and then turn on the alternate path 12 that is blocked. The second control packet also conveys the control line (co line i line) and the ring line. Status information and more The update information (coupling p〇rt, s FDB info.). When the first ring network 1 is coupled to the second ring network 2, the ring network coupling architecture performs an initial setup process. The coupler 1第一2 of the first ring network is set as a temporary controller. Then, both of the temporary controllers send the second control packet to the ring network, wherein the second control packet carries The information includes the user's selection, the path cost, and the network entity address (MAC) of the temporary controller itself. In general, the selection of the controller 111 is most prioritized by the user's choice, and then the path cost, and finally the network entity address. Since the physical address of each switch is different, a controller 111 will be selected. By the information contained in the second control packet, it is selected by two temporary palms, and preferably, becomes the real controller 111. In other words, if the temporary controller receives the better second control packet, It will transform t subordinates 112. If the second controller's content condition received by the temporary controller is worse than the second control packet sent by the user, the temporary controller will become the real controller. Owner 112 will block its lightness. After controlling the person U1 and selecting a standby person 112, the (4) remaining setting process. The hair of the hair _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ The route 11 sends a first control packet to the engaged switch 1 (7), and receives the response message from the switch 103. When the controller 111 continuously sends out the first control packet of the number of times without responding, the controller m judges that the main road control 11 is disconnected. The controller 111 transmits a third control packet to the standby 112, wherein the second control packet has information about the disconnection message. Then, the controller 1U is out of the role of the consuming person, and the standby person 112 _ is _ to enable the alternate]^ path 12. Finally, the 'standby 112 transmits the updated packet of the L2 address to the ring network' to inform the network that the retribution should be transmitted by the marriage path 12. When the standby device 112 or the slave 112 of the ring network interface of the present invention experiences an aging condition, the link of the controller ln will generate a state such as a _ line, and the ring network The architecture will be handled by the following redundancy mechanisms. In the normal state, the control 1321415 will send the second control packet to the slave 112 and the standby m for a certain time interval to inform the controller U1 of its own state. When the standby person 112 devotees m loses the second number of packets of the predetermined number of times, it can be arbitrarily mounted with a fault or disconnection of the master. The standby 112 will block the alternate path 12 and transmit the first control packet to the standby ι 2 to give the intersection = 104. The medium-first control packet carries information about the current state, informing the network that the data should be transmitted by the alternate path 12. The switch 104 knows the network manager b as the redundant manager of the first core network 2. The redundant manager issues a fourth control packet to the second ring network 2, updates the current state to the (4) bank in the switch on the first-thick network 2, and informs the switch that the data needs to be transmitted via the alternate path 12. A ring network i. The figure is a first type of the ring network-integrated architecture disclosed in the present invention, the first ring network i has a light combination group, and the light combination group includes two her partners im, (10), and The switcher (1) and the slave 112 are respectively coupled to the second ring network 2. Figure - is a derivative of the first type of the hinged architecture of the invention. The first ring_road has a group, and the light group includes a plurality of couplers 201, 202, and 203. Among them, one coupler 201 is the controller 211 'other facers 2 〇 2, 2 〇 3 are slaves 212, 213 ' and the standby 213 is selected by the slaves 212, 213. The benefit of this architecture is that there can be more than one of the slaves 212, 213 to provide more alternate paths 22, 23. In this way, when the main path 21 is disconnected, the alternate path 22 will be turned on. If the alternate path 22 is disconnected, the other-alternate path 23 can be turned on again, so that the reliability and stability of the entire network architecture are 12 degrees. higher. Figure 3 is the second state of the ring network coupling architecture disclosed in the present invention. It can be used for more than two ring networks of different ages. As shown in Figure 3, the network architecture has the first ring. a network 1, a second ring network 2, and a third ring, the road 3. The two ring groups are set on the first ring network 1 for use in the second ring network 2 And a third ring network 3. The controllers 315 and the slaves in the first %-shaped network-light-weight group respectively pass through the link of the link (main I path 33, alternate path) 34 collapses to the switches 307, 308 of the second ring network 2. In addition, the controllers in the other-coupling group of the first ring network 3U are not connected to the 3M through the coupled path of the links (Primary path 31, alternate path 32) is coupled to two switches 3〇1, 302 of the second ring network 3. The ring network coupling architecture in this type is not limited to coupling only two ring networks. The road can be combined with a plurality of ring networks according to the same technical means, and can include a plurality of couplers in a coupling group according to the requirements of the network application. In addition to having one controller, there may be a plurality of subordinates, and one candidate is selected by the subordinates. Figure 4 is a third type of ring network lightweight architecture disclosed in the present invention. The two ring networks are lightly combined with one or more ring groups. As shown in FIG. 4, the first ring network 1 has only one coupling group, and the coupling group includes a plurality of couplers 403. 404. The coupler has a controller 413 and a slave 414. The controller 413 is connected to the second ring network 2 by the coupling line (main path 43, main path 41) and the second ring 2, respectively. The parent of the network 3 is switched over. The slaves are respectively connected by a coupling line (alternate path 44, alternate path 42) and a switch 406 of the second ring network 13 1321415 2 and a third ring. The network 3 switch 4〇2 is coupled. The third type of the ring network coupling architecture disclosed in Figure 4, since only one coupling group can be coupled with a plurality of ring networks, The savings in the number of road equipment is of great help. Refer to Figure 5 for May. The loopback condition of the ring network is the flow chart of the ring network. When the line is broken, the looper will perform the redundancy mechanism. The controller 111 continuously loses the first control packet of the specified number of times (S501). The controller 111 will bully the main job u (the S5 drop controller 111 transmits the third control packet to the standby 112 (S5〇3) e standby 112 is blocked by the access to enable the alternate path 12 (S5 〇 4) The standby 112 transmits an update packet of the L2 address to the ring network, informing each switch on the network that the data should be transmitted by the alternate path 12 (S5〇5). Referring to FIG. 6, the ring network coupling architecture When the standby 112 or the subordinate 112 determines that the controller (1) is aging, the controller 111's link scale will produce a state like a clear line, and the loop network architecture will perform a flow chart of the redundancy mechanism. . The standby 112 or the subordinate 112 loses the first control packet of the number of times (§6〇1). It is determined that there is a lover in the network architecture (1) turning or disconnecting 6〇2). Standby 112 will block the backup road! 12 is turned on (S603). The standby 112 transmits the first control packet to the switch 1() 4_4) to which the standby 112 is engaged. The switch 1〇4 informs the redundancy manager (S6G5) of the second ring network 2 of the network status. The redundant manager issues a fourth control packet to the second ringlet 2, updates the current state to the database in the switch on the second ring network 2, and informs the switch to transmit the data via the path 2 I2. The first ring network is connected to 6). In summary, the present invention has a ring network fabric architecture, 14 having a considerable number of gammas. The first and the number of ring networks that can be used are lightly combined, allowing the ring networks to communicate with each other. In this way, according to actual needs, a large or large area of the region will be woven into a number of sub-ring networks and will be combined to make the roads more efficient and efficient. , (4) ϊί, ΐ 提供 提供 提供 提供 提供 提供 提供 提供 提供 环状 环状 环状 环状 环状 环状 环状 环状 环状 环状 环状 环状 环状 环状 环状 环状 环状 环状 环状 环状 环状 环状 环状 环状 环状 环状 环状 环状 环状 环状 环状 环状 环状 环状 环状 环状The road-lighted architecture line can be used as an alternate route to make the information between the ring-shaped networks still effective in the splicing network _ _ _ 2 disconnected _ to improve the ring network _ _ The stability and the present invention are as described above with reference to the preferred embodiments, but are not intended to limit the spirit of the creation and the creative entity, but only to the above implementation.
