一种建立组播路径的方法和装置
技术领域 本发明涉及通信技术, 特别涉及一种建立组播路径的方法和装置。
背景技术 目前组播应用主要包括 IPT V ( Internet Protocol Television , 互联网协议 电视)、 多媒体会议、 实时网络对战游戏等, 它们相同的特点是对网络 QoS ( Quality of Service, 服务质量)和可靠性有严格的要求。
在实现 QoS要求较高的组播应用时, 需要在网络中建立 P2MP ( Point-to-Multipoint, 点到多点) TE ( Traffic Engineer, 流量工程)树, 在现有情况下, 在创建 P2MP TE树之前, 在 P2MP TE树的根节点, 会先基 于用户要求的路径约束条件(如带宽、 颜色、 跳数)进行路径计算。
在实现本发明的过程中, 发明人发现现有技术至少存在以下问题: 在创建 P2MP TE树时会出现一些叶子节点的路径计算成功, 而另一些 叶子节点的路径计算失败的情况; 另外, 已建立的 P2MP TE树中也会出现 到达某些叶子节点的路径出现故障的情况。 上述场景下叶子节点会无法接 收到根节点发送的流量, 影响用户体验, 而现有技术中不存在解决这一问 题的方法。 发明内容
为了解决现有技术中存在的问题, 本发明实施例提供了一种建立组播 路径的方法, 所述方法包括:
当使用约束条件计算到第一叶子节点的组播分支路径失败时, 对所述 约束条件进行降级处理得到次约束条件;
根据所述次约束条件计算到所述第一叶子节点的组播分支路径;
按照计算得到的组播分支路径建立到所述第一叶子节点的组播路径。 本发明实施例还提供了一种建立组播路径的装置, 所述装置包括: 次约束条件生成单元, 用于当使用约束条件计算到第一叶子节点的组 播分支路径失败时, 对所述约束条件进行降级处理得到次约束条件;

为使本发明的目的、 技术方案和优点更加清楚, 下面将结合附图对本 发明实施方式作进一步地详细描述。
实施例 1
如图 1所示, 本实施例提供了一种建立组播路径的方法, 该方法的执行 主体可以为 P2MP TE网络中的根节点, 包括:
100、 当使用约束条件计算到第一叶子节点的组播分支路径失败时, 对 所述约束条件进行降级处理得到次约束条件, 根据次约束条件计算到第一 叶子节点的组播分支路径;
参见图 2, P2MP组播树的根节点 PE1和叶子节点 PE2、 PE3和 PE4之间已 经建立起了实线所示的 P2MP组播树, 假设 PE3为第一叶子节点, 当 PE1到 PE3的 P2MP组播树的分支路径发生故障时, 例如 P2到 P3之间的组播路径发 生故障, 现有技术只使用适用于组播业务中的所有节点的主约束条件重新 计算到达发生组播路径故障的叶子节点的组播路径。 在本实施例中, 当从 根节点 PE1到第一叶子节点 PE3的 P2MP组播分支路径发生故障时,可以按照 主约束条件计算是否存在其他的满足主约束条件的到第一叶子节点的组播 分支路径, 如果不存在其他的满足主约束条件的到第一叶子节点的组播分 支路径, 则对当前使用的建立 P2MP组播树的主用约束条件进行降级处理得 到次约束条件, 然后根据得到的次约束条件计算是否存在满足次约束条件 的到达 PE3的 P2MP组播分支路径。 或者, 当从根节点 PE1到第一叶子节点 PE3的 P2MP组播分支路径发生故障时,直接对当前使用的建立 P2MP组播树 的主用约束条件进行降级处理得到次约束条件, 然后根据得到的次约束条 件计算是否存在满足次约束条件的到达 PE3的 P2MP组播分支路径。 一般来 说, 建立 P2MP组播树使用的主约束条件包括颜色、 带宽及跳数 ( hop-limit ) 等约束条件。 本实施例中对约束条件进行降级处理指的是降低对建立组播 路径的约束条件的要求, 例如降低建立组播路径所需的带宽、 降低对组播 路径的颜色限制, 降低组播路径的跳数(hop-limit ) 限制。 在本实施例中,
举例来说, 可以根据配置的约束条件降级策略得到次约束条件, 该约束条 件降级策略例如可以配置在组播树的根节点上。 约束条件降级策略具体规 定了如何对约束条件进行降级处理, 例如, 如何降低带宽需求、 如何降低 颜色限制, 如何降低对跳数(hop-limit )的限制, 还可以包括在进行了降级 处理后仍然不存在满足降级后的的次约束条件的组播分支路径的情况下如 何进行后续的降级处理操作的信息, 例如在一个设定的时间内如果利用降 级后的次约束条件多次计算到发生组播路径故障的叶子节点的组播分支路 径都无法成功, 也就是经过计算发现不存在满足使用的次约束条件的到发 生组播路径故障的叶子节点的组播分支路径, 则可以进一步降低对当前次 约束条件中的至少一项约束条件的要求得到新的次约束条件, 然后使用新 的次约束条件计算是否存在到第一叶子节点的组播分支路径。 例如, 在使 用对带宽进行降级处理后得到的次约束条件计算到发生组播路径故障的叶 子节点的组播分支路径失败时, 进一步对颜色约束条件进行降级处理得到 新的次约束条件, 然后使用新的次约束条件计算到发生组播路径故障的叶 子节点的组播分支路径。
在本实施中, 作为对约束条件进行降级处理的极端情况, 可以删掉主 约束条件中的所有约束条件计算到发生组播路径故障的叶子节点的组播分 支路径, 也就是不使用任何约束条件计算到发生组播路径故障的叶子节点 的组播分支路径。 对于本领域技术人员来说, 可以理解对于约束条件的降 级处理有多种可选方式, 本领域技术人员可以对带宽、 颜色和 /或跳数等约 束条件的降级方式进行组合, 以得到不同的次约束条件, 在此不再赘述。
使用约束条件计算到第一叶子节点的组播分支路径失败的情况也可能 发生在初始建立 P2MP组播树时。 这里所述的使用约束条件计算到第一叶子 节点的组播分支路径失败指的是经过计算发现不存在满足使用的约束条件 的到发生组播路径故障的叶子节点的组播分支路径。 在初始建立 P2MP组播 树时, 使用主约束条件计算根节点 PE1和叶子节点 PE2、 PE3和 PE4之间的
P2MP组播树时 , 如果根节点 PE1到叶子节点 ΡΕ2和 ΡΕ4之间都存在满足主约 束条件的组播路径, 而 PE1到 ΡΕ3之间不存在满足主约束条件的组播路径, 则可以对当前使用的建立 Ρ2ΜΡ组播树的主用约束条件进行降级处理得到 次约束条件, 然后计算是否存在满足次约束条件的到达 ΡΕ3的 Ρ2ΜΡ组播分 支路径。 其中, 该场景下得到次约束条件的约束条件降级策略和上述组播 树的分支路径发生故障的场景中的约束条件降级策略相同, 在此不再赘述。
进一步地, 还可以通过扩展的 BGP ( Border Gateway Protocol, 边界网 关协议)由叶子节点向根节点通告该叶子节点是否支持约束条件降级处理。 举例来说, 可以通过 BGP Update (更新)消息中的 NLRI ( Network Layer Reachability Information, 网络层可达信息)来通告叶子节点是否支持约束 条件降级处理。 例如, 可以在 NLRI中的运营商组播业务接口隧道属性 PMSI 留字段中设置一个标志位, 指示到本节点的组播路径是否可以进行约束条 件降级处理。 当使用约束条件计算到第一叶子节点的组播分支路径失败时 , 组播树的根节点根据第一叶子节点通告的该叶子节点是否支持约束条件降 级处理的信息, 决定是否对当前使用的约束条件进行降级处理得到次约束 条件用于计算到第一叶子节点的组播分支路径。
102、 按照计算得到的组播分支路径建立到第一叶子节点的组播路径。 如果利用次约束条件计算出存在满足次约束条件的到第一叶子节点的 组播分支路径, 则按照计算出的组播分支路径建立到到第一叶子节点的组 播分支路径, 例如建立到第一叶子节点的 S2L SUB-LSP ( Source-to-Leaf sub-Label Switched Path, 源到叶子的分支标签交换路径) , 建立成功后根 节点就可以通过建立的 S2L SUB-LSP向第一叶子节点发送组播业务流量。
在本实施例中, 支持通过消息合并 /分裂机制在一个路径 Path或预留 Resv消息中携带一个或多个叶子节点信息。 具体地, 对于不对现有的 RS VP-TE协议进行扩展的方式下, 要求具有相同路径约束条件的叶子节点
信息才可以在同一个 Path或 Resv消息中发送,对路径约束条件不同的叶子节 点信息, 不允许在同一个 Path或 Resv消息中发送。 消息合并 /分裂机制发送 方式可以减少消息发送数目, 节省资源。
在本实施例中,也可以使用扩展的 RSVP-TE协议路径 Path消息建立根据 次约束条件计算出的组播路径。在本实施例中,扩展的 Path消息除了携带叶 子节点所属的 P2MP组播树的主约束条件之外, 还携带计算出的到该叶子节 点的组播分支路径所使用的次约束条件。举例来说, 可以在 Path消息中新增 一个 [<SESSION— ATTRIBUTE>]对象来携带要建立的组播分支路径所使用 的次约束条件中的颜色信息的值, 新增一个[<8£1^)£1— TSPEO]对象携带 要建立的组播路径所使用的次约束条件中的带宽信息。 举例来说, 当对颜 色约束条件或者带宽约束条件没有限制时,可以将 Path消息中新增的颜色对 象或者带宽对象的值设为 0, 表示对路径的颜色和带宽性能不做要求。 在扩 展的 Path消息中可以携带一个叶子节点的叶子信息、应用于该叶子节点的主 约束条件和次约束条件, 或者也可以携带多个叶子节点的叶子信息、 应用 于每个叶子节点的次约束条件以及应用于这些叶子节点的主约束条件。
举例来说, 可以釆取如下的 Path消息携带次约束条件:
<Path Message>: := <Common Header> [ <INTEGRITY> ]
[ [<MESSAGE_ID_ACK> | <MESSAGE_ID_NACK>] ...]
[ <MESSAGE_ID> ]
<SESSION> <RSVP_HOP>
<TIME_VALUES>
[ <EXPLICIT_ROUTE> ]
<LABEL_REQUEST>
[ <PROTECTION> ]
[ <LABEL_SET> ... ]
[ <SESSION_ATTRIBUTE> ] (携带主约束条件中的颜色信息 ) [ <NOTIFY_REQUEST> ]
[ <ADMIN_STATUS> ]
[ <POLICY_DATA> ... ]
<sender descriptor (携带主约束条件中的带宽信息)
[<S2L sub-LSP descriptor list>]
<S2L sub-LSP descriptor list> ::= <S2L sub-LSP descriptor [ <S2L sub-LSP descriptor list> ]
<S2L sub-LSP descriptor:: = <S2L_SUB_LSP> (标识应用次 约束条件的叶子节点)
[ <P2MP SECONDARY— EXPLICIT— ROUTE> ] [<SESSION_ATTRIBUTE>] (携带次约束条件中的颜色信 息)
[<SENDER_TSPEC>] (携带次约束条件中的带宽信息) ; 上述的 Path消息中, <S2L sub-LSP descriptor:: = <S2L_SUB_LSP> 中 可 以 标 识 携 带 次 约 束 条 件 的 叶 子 节 点 信 息 , <S2L sub-LSP descriptor:: = <S2L_SUB_LSP> 后 的
[<SESSION_ATTRIBUTE>]和[<8£1^)£1— TSPEO]为新增的用于携带次约 束条件的对象, 其中, [<SESSION— ATTRIBUTE>;^以携带次约束条件中 的颜色信息, [<SENDER— TSPEO]用以携带次约束条件中的带宽信息。 其 余字段为现有协议中规定的字段, 这里不再赘述。 如果要携带多个叶子节 点的节点信息, 可以在 Path消息中增加如下信息:
<S2L sub-LSP descriptor:: = <S2L_SUB_LSP>(标识应用次约束 条件的叶子节点 )
[ <P2MP SECONDARY— EXPLICIT— ROUTE> ]
[<SESSION_ATTRIBUTE>] (携带次约束条件中的颜色信息 ) [<SENDER_TSPEC>] (携带次约束条件中的带宽信息 ) ; 其中, <S2L sub-LSP descriptor:: = <S2L— SUB— LSP^ 识应用次约束条 件的叶子节点的信息, [<SESSION— ATTRIBUTE>;^于携带次约束条件中
的颜色信息) , [<SENDER— TSPEO]用于携带次约束条件中的带宽信息。 进一步地, 如果所述第一叶子节点和所述第一叶子节点所在组播树的 根节点属于不同的拓朴域, 则需要由所述第一叶子节点所在的拓朴域的边 界节点根据所述次约束条件计算到所述第一叶子节点的组播分支路径, 例 如所述边界节点为 ASBR ( Autonomous System Border Router, 自治系统边 界路由器)的情况下, 则由第一叶子节点所在的拓朴域的 ASBR根据次约束 条件继续计算到所述第一叶子节点的组播分支路径。
更进一步地, 当釆用次约束条件的时候, 中间节点在使用次约束条件 进行路径计算的时候, 可能发生 Remerge (合并)和 Cross-over (交叉) 的 情况, 也即当前节点接收到相同的的由不同路径中的上游节点发送的业务 流量时, 本实施例所提供的方法还包括: 丟弃上述不同路径中釆用次约束 条件计算得到的路径中的上游节点发送过来的流量, 或者剪除上述不同路 径中釆用次约束条件计算得到的路径。
进一步地, 本实施例提供的建立组播路径的方法还可以包括:
103、 当存在满足主约束条件的到第一叶子节点的组播分支路径时, 将 到第一叶子节点的组播业务流量从根据次约束条件计算出的组播分支路径 切换到满足主约束条件的组播分支路径上。
具体地, 可以釆用以下两种方式来判断网络中是否存在满足主约束条 件的组播分支路径。
方式一:
每隔预定的时间, 按照主约束条件计算是否存在满足主约束条件的到 第一叶子节点的组播分支路径, 当存在满足主约束条件的组播分支路径时, 将到第一叶子节点的组播业务流量从根据次约束条件计算出的组播分支路 径切换到满足主约束条件的组播分支路径上。
举例来说, 可以在 P2MP根节点为釆用次约束条件建立了替代路径的叶 子节点启动一个定时器, 设定每隔预定的时间按照主约束条件进行组播路
径计算, 一旦计算出存在满足主约束条件的到该叶子节点的组播分支路径, 则建立相应的组播路径, 当建立的组播路径状态 UP (正常)后, 将到该叶 子节点的组播业务流量切换到建立的满足主约束条件的组播路径上, 再将 原来的根据次约束条件建立的组播路径拆除, 从而实现了组播业务流量的 平滑无缝切换。
方式二:
通过 IGP ( Interior Gateway Protocols , 内部网关协议 )获取网络中的 ΤΕ 链路信息, 当 ΤΕ链路信息发生变化时, 根据主约束条件计算是否存在到釆 用次约束条件建立了组播路径的叶子节点的组播路径, 当存在满足主约束 条件的组播分支路径时, 将到釆用次约束条件建立了组播路径的叶子节点 的组播业务流量从根据次约束条件计算出的组播分支路径切换到满足主约 束条件的组播路径上。 举例来说, 上述的 ΤΕ链路信息包括网络中链路的带 宽、 链路颜色等信息。
具体地, 可以使用 IGP协议通告网络中的 MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching, 多协议标记交换) TE链路信息, 当根节点通过 IGP获知组播网 络的 MPLS TE链路信息发生变化时, 对釆用了次约束条件建立路径的叶子 节点, 重新计算是否存在满足主约束条件的路径。 如果存在, 建立相应的 组播路径, 待建立的组播路径状态 UP (正常)后, 将组播业务流量切换到 建立的满足主约束条件的组播路径上, 再将原来的根据次约束条件建立的 组播路径拆除。
本发明实施例提供的建立组播路径的方法, 在网络无法满足到达全部 叶子节点的组播路径都按照主约束条件建立时或者已建立的组播分支路径 发生故障时, 对无法按照主约束条件建立组播路径的叶子节点按照次约束 条件建立替代组播路径, 保证业务流量能够到达组播业务中所有的叶子节 点和故障时叶子节点组播业务的快速恢复。
实施例 2
如图所示, 本实施例提供了一种建立组播路径的装置, 该装置可以为
P2MP拓朴网络中的根节点或者隶属于 P2MP拓朴网络中的根节点的装置 30, 包括:

组播分支路径建立单元 302, 用于按照计算得到的组播分支路径建立到 第一叶子节点的组播路径。
参见图 2, P2MP组播树的根节点 PE1和叶子节点 PE2、 PE3和 PE4之间已 经建立起了实线所示的 P2MP组播树, 假设 PE3为第一叶子节点, 本实施例 以所述建立组播路径的装置 30为根节点 PE1为例进行说明。 当 PE1到 PE3的 P2MP组播树的分支路径发生故障时, 例如 P2到 P3之间的组播路径发生故 障, 现有技术只使用适用于组播业务中的所有节点的主约束条件重新计算 到达发生组播路径故障的叶子节点的组播路径。 在本实施例中, 当从根节 点 PE1到第一叶子节点 PE3的 P2MP组播分支路径发生故障时,组播分支路径 计算单元 301可以按照主约束条件计算是否存在其他的满足主约束条件的 到第一叶子节点的组播分支路径, 如果不存在其他的满足主约束条件的到 第一叶子节点的组播分支路径, 则次约束条件生成单元 300, 对约束条件进 行降级处理得到次约束条件, 组播分支路径计算单元 301根据得到的次约束 条件计算是否存在满足次约束条件的到达 PE3的 P2MP组播分支路径。或者, 当从根节点 PE1到第一叶子节点 PE3的 P2MP组播分支路径发生故障时,次约 束条件生成单元 300直接对约束条件进行降级处理得到次约束条件, 组播分 支路径计算单元 301根据得到的次约束条件计算是否存在满足次约束条件 的到达 PE3的 P2MP组播分支路径。 一般来说, 建立 P2MP组播树使用的主约 束条件包括颜色、 带宽及跳数(hop-limit )等约束条件。 次约束条件生成单
元 300在对主约束条件进行降级处理时, 可以降低对主约束条件中的一个或 者多个约束条件的要求, 例如降低带宽需求、 降低颜色限制, 降低对跳数 ( hop-limit )的限制中的一种或者多种, 从而得到次约束条件。 还可以包括 在进行了一次降级处理后仍然不存在满足降级后的的次约束条件的组播分 支路径的情况下进一步对已有的次约束条件进一步进行降级处理, 例如在 一个设定的时间内如果利用降级后的次约束条件多次计算到发生组播路径 故障的叶子节点的组播路径都无法成功, 则可以进一步对当前次约束条件 中的至少一项约束条件的要求得到新的次约束条件, 然后使用新的次约束 条件进行路径计算到达第一叶子节点的替代路径。 例如, 在使用对带宽进 行降级处理后得到的次约束条件计算到发生组播路径故障的叶子节点的组 播路径无法失败时, 次约束条件生成单元 300进一步对颜色约束条件进行降 级处理得到新的次约束条件, 然后使用新的次约束条件计算到发生组播路 径故障的叶子节点的组播路径。 单元和次约束条件生成子单元。 其中, 所述约束条件降级策略子单元用于 配置约束条件降级策略; 所述次约束条件生成子单元, 用于根据配置的所 述约束条件降级策略生成次约束条件。 所述约束条件降级策略具体规定了 对约束条件进行降级处理的策略, 例如, 如何降低带宽需求、 如何降低颜 色限制, 如何降低对跳数(hop-limit )的限制, 还可以包括在进行了一次降 级处理后仍然不存在满足降级后的的次约束条件的组播分支路径的情况下 如何进行后续的降级处理操作, 例如在一个设定的时间内如果利用降级后 的次约束条件多次计算到发生组播路径故障的叶子节点的组播路径都无法 成功, 则可以进一步降低对当前次约束条件中的至少一项约束条件的要求 得到新的次约束条件, 然后使用新的次约束条件进行路径计算到达第一叶 子节点的替代路径。 例如, 在使用对带宽进行降级处理后得到的次约束条 件计算到发生组播路径故障的叶子节点的组播路径失败时, 进一步对颜色
约束条件进行降级处理得到新的次约束条件, 然后使用新的次约束条件计 算到发生组播路径故障的叶子节点的组播路径。
在本实施中, 作为对约束条件进行降级处理的极端情况, 可以删掉主 约束条件中的所有约束条件计算到发生组播路径故障的叶子节点的组播路 径, 也就是不使用任何约束条件计算到发生组播路径故障的叶子节点的组 播路径。 对于本领域技术人员来说, 可以理解对于约束条件的降级处理有 多种可选方式, 本领域技术人员可以多上述带宽、 颜色和 /或跳数等约束条 件的降级方式进行组合, 以得到不同的次约束条件, 在此不再赘述。
举例来说, 上述组播分支路径建立单元 302具体包括 Path消息扩展子单 元、 Path消息发送子单元和 RESV消息接收子单元, 所述 Path消息扩展子单 元用于生成扩展的 Path消息, 该扩展的 Path消息除了携带叶子节点所属的 P2MP组播树的主约束条件之外, 还携带计算出的到该叶子节点的组播支路 路径所使用的次约束条件。 举例来说, 可以在 Path消息中新增一个 [<SESSION— ATTRIBUTE> †象来携带要建立的组播路径的颜色信息, 新 增一个 [<SENDER— TSPEO]对象携带要建立的组播路径的带宽信息。 举例 来说, 当对颜色约束条件或者带宽约束条件没有限制时, 可以将 Path消息中 新增的颜色对象或者带宽对象的值设为 0, 表示对路径的颜色和带宽性能不 做要求。在扩展的 Path消息中可以携带一个叶子节点的叶子信息、应用于该 叶子节点的主约束条件和次约束条件, 或者也可以携带多个叶子节点的叶 子信息、 这些叶子节点中每个叶子节点建立组播分支的次约束条件以及这 些叶子点所共同具有的主约束条件。所述 Path消息发送子单元用于将生成的 携带次约束条件的 Path消息发送给要建立组播分支路径的叶子节点。 所述 RESV消息接收子单元用于接收 RESV消息,当接收到对 Path消息发送子单元 发送的 Path消息的成功响应 RESV消息时, 到所述叶子节点的组播分支路径 建立成功。
再举例来说, 上述组播分支路径建立单元 302具体包括 Path消息生成子

进一步地, 本实施例中的建立组播路径的装置还包括组播分支路径切 换单元, 用于当存在满足主约束条件的到第一叶子节点的组播分支路径时, 将到第一叶子节点的组播业务流量从根据次约束条件计算出的组播分支路 径切换到满足主约束条件的组播分支路径上。
举例来说, 所述组播分支路径切换单元可以具体包括定时器子单元和 组播分支路径切换子单元。 其中所述定时器子单元用于在所述组播分支路 径建立单元按照计算得到的组播分支路径建立到第一叶子节点的组播路径 之后, 按照预定的时间间隔向所述组播分支路径计算单元提供定时信号; 所述组播分支路径计算单元进一步用于接收到所述定时器子单元发送的定 时信号后, 根据所述主约束条件计算到所述第一叶子节点的组播分支路径; 所述组播分支路径切换子单元, 用于当计算出存在满足所述主约束条件的 到所述第一叶子节点的组播分支路径时, 将到所述第一叶子节点的组播业 务流量从根据所述次约束条件计算出的组播分支路径切换到满足所述主约 束条件的组播分支路径上。
再举例来说, 所述组播分支路径切换单元可以具体包括链路信息获取 子单元和组播分支路径切换子单元。 其中, 所述链路信息获取子单元用于 在所述组播分支路径建立单元按照计算得到的组播分支路径建立到所述第 一叶子节点的组播路径之后,通过内部网关协议 IGP获取网络的流量工程链 路信息; 所述组播分支路径计算单元进一步用于当获取到的所述网络的流
量工程链路信息发生变化时, 根据所述主约束条件计算到所述第一叶子节 点的组播分支路径; 所述组播分支路径切换子单元用于当计算出存在满足 所述主约束条件的路径时, 将到所述第一叶子节点的组播业务流量从根据 次约束条件计算出的组播分支路径切换到满足主约束条件的组播分支路径 上。 举例来说, 上述的 TE链路信息包括网络中链路的带宽、 链路颜色等信 息。
本发明实施例提供的建立组播路径的装置可以具体用于执行实施例 1 中的建立组播路径的方法, 其实现原理和技术效果类似, 此处不再赘述。
