本发明涉及通信领域，具体而言，涉及一种网络虚拟化处理方法、装置及系统。
背景技术
随着网络技术的发展，互联网协议无线接入网(Internet Protocol Radio Access Network，简称为IPRAN)或者/分组传送网(Packet Transfer Network，简称为PTN)等分组传送技术在运营商网络得到了大量的应用和推广。图1是相关技术中IPRAN/PTN的典型网络架构示意图，如图1所示，该架构包括两个B设备(汇聚设备)，若干个A设备(接入设备)组成接入层网络，以及B设备与C设备(核心设备)相连的核心汇聚层网络。接入层网络有隧道(Tunnel)/伪线(Pseudo Wire)/业务(Service)三个层次的管理，并且还包括三个层次相关的操作执行管理(Operation Administration Management，简称为OAM)、服务质量(Quality Of Service，简称为QoS)的配置，这是网络最复杂的部分。因此，这部分的网络业务部署相当繁琐，对维护人员的专业能力也提出了很高的要求，也大大增加了网络的维护成本。
在网络管理系统设计和部署中，一直在尽量提高IPRAN/PTN业务管理的易用性、维护的简单性，但由于网络和业务模型决定了业务部署的复杂性，使得最终效果不是很理想。同样，在相关技术中也提出了基于模版的IPRAN/PTN业务部署方法，基本思想是配置参数的模版化，配置流程统一化。但是这种部署方法存在很多局限性(例如，业务场景必须一致，网络资源必须事先规划等等)，同时这种方法对业务的发现、调整几乎毫无能力。
如今，通过网络的虚拟化来提高业务部署的有效性的简单性成为当今网络技术演进的基本思想。虚拟化是将网络(或子网)虚拟化成一个虚拟路由器(设备)，用户业务部署的参数描述只需要针对虚拟路由器的上行、下行若干接口，这样能提高业务部署的有效性，减少网络维护的成本。针对IPRAN/PTN网络虚拟化，做法可以是在B设备、A设备中增加集群功能，通过扩展设备的功能来实现接入层网络的虚拟化和虚化化后的业务部署。这种方法没有改变原来的控制和转发逻辑，虽然业务部署有所改观，但是没有彻底改变业务部署的便捷性，同时设备处理逻辑变的更加复杂，因此没有完全解决问题。
因此，在相关技术中，网络的虚拟化及虚拟化后的业务部署极为复杂，易用性较差，运维成本高。

具体实施方式
下文中将参考附图并结合实施例来详细说明本发明。需要说明的是，在不冲突的情况下，本申请中的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互组合。
在本实施例中提供了一种网络虚拟化处理方法，图2是根据本发明实施例的网络虚拟化处理方法的流程图，如图2所示，该流程包括如下步骤：

步骤S206，在一个或多个虚拟路由器上部署与具体业务无关的全局配置；
步骤S208，在用于参与具体业务的虚拟路由器上部署与具体业务对应的业务配置。
通过上述步骤，基于SDN来实现网络虚拟化及业务部署，通过在接入层网络建立一个或多个虚拟路由器，在虚拟路由器上部署与具体业务无关的全局配置，以及在与业务有关的虚拟路由器上部署与具体业务对应的业务配置，不仅解决了相关技术中网络的虚拟化及虚拟化后的业务部署极为复杂，易用性较差，运维成本高，使得对资源的调度更加灵活、均衡，在一定程度上减少了参数部署的复杂度，有效地降低了运维成本的效果。
在将接入层网络的SDN交换机接入到SDN控制器时，可以通过预定协议将接入层网络的SDN交换机接入到SDN控制器，其中，该预定协议可以包括多种，例如，可以是OpenFlow协议，也可以是其他协议；确定接入到SDN控制器的SDN交换机所构成的网络拓扑信息。
在基于接入到SDN控制器的SDN交换机所构成的网络拓扑信息，创建一个或多个虚拟路由器时，可以采用多种方式，例如，可以采用以下方式至少之一：比如，可以依据从上层管理系统接收到的用于请求创建虚拟路由器的请求信息，创建一个或多个虚拟路由器，其中，请求信息包括由上层管理系统选择的用于创建一个或多个虚拟路由器的两个汇聚设备B和与两个汇聚设备B相连组成一个或多个接入环的接入设备A的参数信息；又比如，也可以依据对从上层管理系统获取的拓扑信息的分析结果，创建一个或多个虚拟路由器，其中，分析结果中包括用于创建一个或多个虚拟路由器的两个汇聚设备B和与两个汇聚设备B相连组成一个或多个接入环的接入设备A的参数信息。当然也可可以采用其它方式，例如，可以依据对从其它网管系统中获取到的拓扑信息来得到分析结果，进而依据该分析结果来创建一个或多个虚拟路由器。
优选地，在基于接入到SDN控制器的SDN交换机所构成的网络拓扑信息，创建一个或多个虚拟路由器之后，还可以将一个或多个虚拟路由器的拓扑连接信息和物理设备信息进行存储。
在一个或多个虚拟路由器上部署与具体业务无关的全局配置时，需要说明的是，对于该与具体业务无关的配置，包括对虚拟路由器上的接入设备A和两个汇聚设备B上的配置。例如，针对每个虚拟路由器，在每个接入设备A上创建到对应虚拟路由器的两个汇聚设备B的以下信息至少之一：接入设备A到两个汇聚设备B的隧道、接入设备A到两个汇聚设备B的操作维护管理OAM配置、接入设备A到两个汇聚设备B 的服务质量QoS配置；针对每个虚拟路由器，在两个汇聚设备B上创建上行的逻辑接口。
基于上述全局配置，依据具体业务的需求进行相应配置，其中，包括对每个虚拟路由器上的接入设备A以及两个汇聚设备B的配置。即在用于参与具体业务的虚拟路由器上部署与具体业务对应的业务配置可以采用以下方式处理：获取在虚拟路由器上所包括的接入设备A上输入的物理接口和虚拟局域网(Virtual Local Area Network，简称为VLAN)信息创建在接入设备A上用于参与具体业务的子接口，以及在两个汇聚设备B上参与具体业务的逻辑子接口；根据虚拟路由器所对应的隧道信息，创建到两个汇聚设备B的主、备伪线以及对应的服务质量QoS信息和操作维护管理OAM信息；将具体业务与在接入设备A上创建的子接口，以及在汇聚设备B上创建的逻辑子接口，以及主、备伪线进行绑定。

上层管理系统102，设置为通过与SDN控制器的接口，请求SDN控制器创建一个或多个虚拟路由器；网管系统104，设置为向SDN控制器提供接入到SDN控制器的SDN交换机所构成的网络拓扑信息。
针对相关技术中的上述问题，在本实施例中，提供了一种基于交换数据网络(Soft Defined Network，简称为SDN)的IPRAN/PTN网络虚拟化和业务部署的方法，该方法包括：
第一步：将IPRAN/PTN的接入层网络的SDN交换机(或路由器)接入到SDN控制器(Controller)。
第二步：将IPRAN/PTN接入层网络虚拟化成若干虚拟路由器。
第三步：在每个虚拟路由器上部署与具体业务无关的全局配置。
第四步：在虚拟路由器上部署具体业务和相关配置。
其中，上述第一步可以包括采用以下处理：将接入层网络SDN交换机通过Openflow协议(或者其他协议)接入SDN控制器。在控制器上发现网络的物理拓扑。
上述方法中的第二步可以包括如下处理：上层管理系统通过和控制器的接口，将选择的两个B设备以及和这两个B下行相连的组成若干个接入环的A设备作为请求参数，要求控制器创建虚拟路由器。
控制器根据请求的信息创建虚拟路由器，包括两个B设备以及和这两个B下行相连的组成若干个接入环的A设备，并且将虚拟路由器信息(包括拓扑和物理设备信息)保存在控制器中。创建多个虚拟路由器以此反复。
需要说明的是，上述方法第二步也可以从网管或者其他管理系统获取拓扑信息，直接将拓扑信息作为参数创建虚拟路由器，包括如下处理：上层管理系统从传统的网管或者其他管理系统的拓扑信息，将接入层网络的拓扑信息作为参数传给控制器，请求创建虚拟路由器。控制器分析拓扑信息，根据两个B设备以及和这两个B下行相连的组成若干个接入环的A设备创建若干虚拟路由器，并且将虚拟路由器信息(包括拓扑和物理设备信息)保存在控制器中。
上述方法第三步可以包括如下处理：针对每个虚拟路由器，控制器在每个A设备上分别创建到两个B设备的隧道及其OAM、QoS配置，通过和设备之间的协议接口下发到设备。需要说明的是，该处理也可以在以下的第四步中完成(判断没有对应配置则下发)。
针对每个虚拟路由器，控制器在两个B设备上分别创建上行的逻辑接口，通过和设备之间的协议接口下发到设备。同样，该处理也可以在以下的第四步中完成(判断没有对应配置则下发)。
上述方法中第四步可以包括如下处理：(1)用户通过上层管理系统提供的用户接口选择一个要创建业务的虚拟路由器。(2)用户通过上层管理系统提供的用户接口在一个A设备上选择一个物理接口，输入VLAN信息。(3)上层管理系统根据用户选择的信息通过和控制器的接口发送业务创建请求。(4)控制器在A设备上根据用户选择的物理接口和VLAN创建子接口，下发到设备。同时创建B设备的逻辑子接口，并且下发到设备。(5)控制器根据隧道信息创建到B的主、备伪线和对应的QoS、OAM信息，并且下发到设备，伪线的主、备性由两个B设备担任主伪线端点角色的次数来负荷分担。(6)控制器在A设备和B设备上创建业务实体绑定子接口和伪线，并且下发到设备。
对应于上述网络虚拟化及虚拟化后的业务部署方案，在本实施例中，还提供了一种基于SDN的IPRAN/PTN网络虚拟化和业务部署的系统，该系统包括：
IPRAN/PTN网络，与传统的IPRAN/PTN网络相比，基于SDN的网络中的交换机或者路由器只存在转发面(数据面)的逻辑，主要是根据控制器的逻辑完成转发。
SDN控制器，主要是控制SDN的转发动作和相关配置信息，业务相关的配置信息都通过SDN控制器下发到设备上。控制器在物理位置上可以是独立的。
上层管理系统，调用控制器提供的接口，完成虚拟路由器的生成、业务部署动作。
其他管理系统，具有IPRAN/PTN接入层网络拓扑信息，对外提供拓扑信息。
控制器通过和SDN网络设备的协议接口控制SDN设备，主要是根据业务逻辑下发转发信息和相关的配置信息。上层管理系统则通过应用层协议(例如，REST接口)调用控制器提供的接口，来促发各种指令。上层管理系统在创建虚拟路由器的时候，拓扑信息可以由其他管理系统提供，该系统具有网络的拓扑数据，因此该子系统是可选的。
通过使用SDN和虚拟化技术提出的上述基于SDN的IPRAN/PTN网络虚拟化和业务部署的方案，使得SDN的控制和转发分离，从而能够以中央控制方式管理网络，符合端到端业务创建的要求特性。网络资源的调度变得十分简单、有效、均衡，网络的控制变得十分灵活。使得部署业务时需要的设置的参数大大减少，业务部署变更简捷、方便，同时又减少了设备的处理逻辑，提高了设备的效率，使得网络的虚拟化以及虚拟化后的业务部署变得十分有效、便捷，从而大大提高了网络运维的成本。
下面结合附图对本发明优选实施方式进行说明。
图11是根据本发明实施例的IPRAN/PTN网络接入层交换机接入控制器的网络架构示意图，如图11所示，在SDN交换机上设置控制器信息，将接入层网络SDN交换机通过Openflow协议(或者其他协议)接入SDN控制器。通过SDN网络拓扑发现机制在控制器上发现网络的物理拓扑(例如，Openflow中定义的LLDP拓扑发现机制)，这样控制器上保存了设备之间连接的拓扑信息。
图12是根据本发明实施例的IPRAN/PTN网络接入层网络虚拟化示意图，图13是根据本发明实施例的IPRAN/PTN网络接入层网络业务创建示意图，图14是根据本发明实施例的IPRAN/PTN网络虚拟化和业务部署系统示意图，如图12、14所示，上层管理系统通过和控制器的接口，将选择的两个B设备以及和这两个B下行相连的组成若干个接入环的A设备作为请求参数，要求控制器创建虚拟路由器。控制器根据请求的信息创建虚拟路由器，包括两个B下行相连的组成若干个接入环的A设备，并且 将虚拟路由器信息(包括拓扑和物理设备信息)保存在控制器中。这里虚拟路由器是一个逻辑设备，该逻辑设备信息中包含了两个B类设备的物理信息(端口，设备ID等)、同若干接入环中的A设备物理信息(端口，设备ID等)、网络的物理拓扑信息等基础信息。
针对每个虚拟路由器，控制器在每个A设备上分别创建到两个B设备的主备隧道及其OAM、QoS配置，通过和设备之间的协议接口下发到设备。同样控制器在两个B设备上分别创建上行的逻辑接口，主要用于业务创建时候作为上行的逻辑接口。
用户通过上层管理系统提供的用户接口，选择一个要创建业务的虚拟路由器，并且在一个A设备上选择一个物理接口，输入VLAN信息，这些信息包含了一个具体的业务。
上层关系系统根据用户选择的信息，通过和控制器之间的接口发送业务创建请求，触发业务创建。
控制器在根据用户选择的物理接口和VLAN在对应的A设备上创建子接口，下发到设备。同时创建B设备的逻辑子接口，并且下发到设备，该子接口也用来被业务绑定。
如图13、14所示，根据隧道信息创建到B的主备、伪线和对应的QoS、OAM信息，并且下发到设备，主、备伪线分别绑定一条隧道，伪线的主、备性由两个B设备担任主伪线端点角色的次数来负荷分担，即通过B端点作为主伪线的次数来计算。在A设备和B设备上创建业务实体，绑定子接口和伪线，并且下发到设备。至此，端到端业务部署完成。
显然，本领域的技术人员应该明白，上述的本发明的各模块或各步骤可以用通用的计算装置来实现，它们可以集中在单个的计算装置上，或者分布在多个计算装置所组成的网络上，可选地，它们可以用计算装置可执行的程序代码来实现，从而，可以将它们存储在存储装置中由计算装置来执行，并且在某些情况下，可以以不同于此处的顺序执行所示出或描述的步骤，或者将它们分别制作成各个集成电路模块，或者将它们中的多个模块或步骤制作成单个集成电路模块来实现。这样，本发明不限制于任何特定的硬件和软件结合。
以上所述仅为本发明的优选实施例而已，并不用于限制本发明，对于本领域的技术人员来说，本发明可以有各种更改和变化。凡在本发明的精神和原则之内，所作的任何修改、等同替换、改进等，均应包含在本发明的保护范围之内。
