Description

路径计算的方法、消息响应的方法以及相关设备
本申请要求于2014年5月8日提交中国专利局、申请号为201410193827.9、发明名称为“路径计算的方法、消息响应的方法以及相关设备”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本发明涉及通信领域,尤其涉及路径计算的方法、消息响应的方法以及相关设备。
背景技术
随着网络规模的不断扩大出现了流量工程技术。流量工程的主要目标在保证网络操作效率和可靠性的同时,实现网络资源利用的最大化以及提升网络的表现。通过更加有效的带宽资源的利用来降低整网运作的成本和花费;通过对流量的合理调配,可以避免部分链路拥塞,部分链路空闲的现象;通过对流量的合理规划,实现网络资源利用的最优化,以提升网路的整体性能。除了使用分布式的计算方法来计算路径外,例如多协议标签交换-流量工程(MPLS-TE,Multi-Protocol Label Switching-Traffic Engineering)技术,也可以使用集中式的路径计算架构来计算路径。
如图1所示,集中式的路径计算系统包含两个主要组件,路径计算客户端(PCC,Path Computation Client)和路径计算单元(PCE,Path Computation Element)。路径计算客户端和路径计算单元之间通过路径计算单元通讯协议(PCEP,Path Computation Element Communication Protocol)进行消息交互。具体而言,路径计算单元还可以包含流量工程数据库和测量模块。流量工程数据库包含网络拓扑,链路带宽、时延和丢包等信息。策略模块可以配置路径计算的策略。
如图2所示,如果路径计算客户端想要进行路径计算,路径计算客户端向路径计算单元发送路径计算请求PCReq消息,在该消息中包含路径的源和目的标识以及所需的带宽等信息。路径计算单元收到PCReq消息后,根据该消息中的要求计算路径。通过计算,如果找到满足要求的路径则返回路径计算应答PCRep成功消息;如果不能找到满足要求的路径则返回PCRep失败消息。
由于路径会存在震荡(比如,路径中的某台设备出故障),所以路径计算客户端收到成功的路径信息后需要知道该路径后续是否正常。如图3所示,路径计算客户端在收到成功PCRep消息后会启动一个定时器。一旦定时器超时,路径计算客户端会向路径计 算单元发送PCReq路径重计算消息,在该消息中附带原来的路径信息。路径计算单元收到该PCReq消息后则重新进行路径计算。如此,路径计算客户端能够知道路径是否仍然正常。
但是,在实际应用中,采用定时重新计算路径仅能适应于只需要考虑带宽的场景,例如带宽为基于资源预留协议(RSVP,Resource ReSerVation Protocol)预留的场景,在另外一些除了考虑带宽,还需要考虑丢包、时延和抖动等网络性能参数的应用场景中,例如智能路由网络系统中,类似丢包和时延这些参数在网络中是动态变化的,如果路径计算客户端的重计算定时器的超时时间设的过长,那么有可能漏掉丢包和时延的变化,从而不能及时调整路径;如果定时器的超时时间设的过短,会增加路径计算客户端和路径计算单元之间消息通讯量,增加双方的通讯负担。

可以理解的是,第一网络设备相第二网络设备发送路径需求信息和重计算条件的时 机有多种选择,例如可以在需要进行路径计算时同时将路径需求信息和重计算条件一起发送给第二网络设备,也可以在需要进行路径计算时只发送路径需求信息给第二网络设备,当第二网络设备返回满足要求的路径的描述信息之后才再发送重计算条件给该第二网络设备,此处不做限定。
该路径描述信息可以包括路径标识,或,路径中的每个网络节点的描述信息,例如每个网络节点的标识或IP地址等,此处不作限定。
该路径需求信息中包含需要进行计算的路径的源和目的标识以及所需要的一项或多项网络性能参数,网络性能参数可以是时延、丢包、抖动和带宽等,此处不作限定。
可以理解的是,该重计算条件可以根据第一网络设备需要的网络路径的性能不同而不同,还可以根据实际情况有不同的重计算条件,例如可以满足要求的路径上当前网络性能参数的变化率为超出预置的网络性能参数的变化范围,也可以为达到预置的重计算时间间隔,还可以为其组合或达到组合条件中的任一个条件等,此处不做限定。
本发明实施例中第一网络设备发送路径需求信息和重计算条件给第二网络设备,该重计算条件用于当所述重计算条件满足时,使得所述第二网络设备进行路径重计算并返回重计算出的路径的描述信息给第一网络设备,这样通过第二网络设备对重计算条件的判断来自主的进行路径重计算,不再需要第一网络设备每次超时后发送请求给第二网络设备进行重计算,提高了触发路径重计算的灵敏度,且减少了网络设备之间的消息通讯量。
在实际应用中,该第一网络设备可以为路径计算客户端PCC,第二网络设备可以为路径计算单元PCE,也可以为其他能进行执行上述步骤的网络设备,此处不作限定。
该路径需求信息和重计算条件可以包含在已经存在的消息格式中,例如路径需求信息和重计算条件可以包含在路径计算请求PCReq消息中,同理,返回的第一描述信息与第二描述信息也可以包含在路径计算响应PCRep消息中,当然,也可以另外发送其他的消息来包含路径需求信息,重计算条件,第一描述信息,第二描述信息,此处不做限定。
本发明实施例中,第一网络设备向第二网络设备发送路径需求信息和重计算条件,使得当预置重计算条件满足时,第二网络设备重新进行路径计算并返回重计算出的路径的描述信息给第一网络设备,这样通过第二网络设备对重计算条件的判断来自主的进行路径重计算,不再需要第一网络设备每次超时后发送请求给第二网络设备进行重计算,提高了触发路径重计算的灵敏度,且减少了网络设备之间的消息通讯量。
为便于理解,下面结合两个执行主体的操作以具体应用场景对本发明实施例中计算路径的方法进行具体描述:
第一网络设备为路径计算客户端PCC,第二网络设备为路径计算单元PCE,重计算条件为超出丢包/时延变化范围;
如图7所示,PCC向PCE发送路径需求信息,其中包括请求计算的路径的时延,丢包要求;
PCE根据该路径需求信息计算路径,并返回第一描述信息,其中包含计算出的满足要求的路径的描述信息;
PCC接收到该满足要求的路径的描述信息后,向PCE发送重计算条件,为超出丢包/时延的变化范围;
PCE接收到该重计算条件后,满足要求的路径上时延/丢包的变化率(例如为10%)超出该重计算条件中的丢包/时延的变化范围(例如为15%),则重新进行路径计算,并将计算结果通知PCC;
PCE将第二描述信息发送给PCC,该第二描述信息包含有重计算出的路径的描述信息。
该重计算条件中还可以包含有预置的重计算时间间隔:
如图8所示,PCC向PCE发送路径需求信息,其中包括请求计算的路径的时延,丢包要求;
PCE根据该路径需求信息计算路径,并返回第一描述信息,其中包含计算出的满足要求的路径的描述信息;
PCC接收到该满足要求的路径的描述信息后,向PCE发送重计算条件,为超出丢包/时延的变化范围且达到预置的重计算时间间隔,例如重计算时间间隔为1分钟;
PCE接收到该重计算条件后,当30s时检测到满足要求的路径上时延/丢包的变化率(例如为10%)超出该重计算条件中的丢包/时延的变化范围(例如为15%)时,不触发重计算;
当达到一分钟时检测到满足要求的路径上时延/丢包的变化率(例如为10%)超出该重计算条件中的丢包/时延的变化范围(例如为15%)时,PCE重新进行路径计算,并将计算结果通知PCC;
PCE将第一描述信息发送给PCC,该第一描述信息包含有重计算出的路径的描述信息。
需要说明的是,不同的触发条件只是触发进行重计算的条件,满足重计算条件可以为满足多种触发条件中的一种或多种,还可以给每个条件一个优先级或者权重,此处不做限定。
可以理解的是,第一网络设备与第二网络设备可以应用于各种不同的网络中,现结合两个执行主体的操作以其应用于叠加网络中的应用场景对本发明实施例中路径计算的方法进行具体描述:

其中,网络测量单元用于测量并收集叠加网络的状态信息,状态信息可以包括:节点的运行状态(是否正常,CPU、内存和磁盘等的使用状况),节点间的联通状况,节点间的时延、丢包、抖动和带宽等网络信息。网络测量单元将这些信息存入网络信息数据库中。网络信息数据库除了可以存入叠加网络的信息外,还可以存储底层网络的信息。底层网络信息可以包括:底层网络拓扑、路由信息和链路信息等,这些信息可以向网络管理系统或者网络运营系统获取。
业务路由单元根据业务的特点选择合适的叠加网络路径来转发业务(如业务1),业务的特点反映到网络上可以是对时延、丢包、抖动和带宽等的要求。
业务路由单元将这些要求发送给路径计算单元请求计算出符合要求的叠加网络路径;
路径计算单元查询网络信息数据库中的信息并做路径计算,然后把计算结果告诉业务路由单元。
业务1要求在节点a到g之间进行传输同时要求时延小于30毫秒,业务路由单元将这些要求发送给路径计算单元请求路径计算;
路径计算单元通过计算返回满足要求的路径a-b-f-g;
业务路由单元向路径计算单元发送消息请求(即重计算条件)一旦路径a-b-f-g上的时延大于35毫秒则重新计算路径;
路径计算单元接受该请求并在路径a-b-f-g上的时延大于35毫秒时触发重新计算路径,通过计算路径计算单元返回新的路径a-c-e-g。
