用户设备(UE，User Equipment)，也可称之为移动终端(Mobile Terminal)、移动用户设备等，可以经无线接入网(例如，RAN，Radio Access Network)与一个或多个核心网进行通信，用户设备可以是移动终端，如移动电话(或称为“蜂窝”电话)和具有移动终端的计算机，例如，可以是便携式、袖珍式、手持式、计算机内置的或者车载的移动装置，它们与无线接入网交换语言和/或数据。
下面，首先对本发明实施例的控制报文传输的方法的网络功能虚拟化系统进行说明。
图1示出了适用本发明实施例的控制报文传输的方法的网络功能虚拟化NFV系统100的示意性架构图，该NFV系统可以通过多种网络实现，例如数据中心网络、服务提供者网络、或者局域网(LAN，Local Area Network)。如图1所示，该NFV系统100可以包括：
管理和编制系统(MANO，Management and Orchestration System)128，
基础设施(NFVI，NFV Infrastructure)130，
多个虚拟网络功能(VNF)108，
多个网元管理系统(EMS，Element Management System)122，
服务、虚拟网络功能和基础设施描述(Service VNF and Infrastructure Description)系统126，
一个或多个运营支撑系统/业务支撑系统(OSS/BSS，Operation Support System/Business Support System)124。
其中，MANO 128可以包括编制器(Orchestrator)102、一个或多个VNF管理器(VNF Manager)104，以及一个或多个虚拟化基础设施管理器(Virtualized Infrastructure Manager)106。
NFVI 130可以包括计算硬件112、存储硬件114、网络硬件116组成的硬件资源层、虚拟化层、以及虚拟计算110(例如，虚拟机)、虚拟存储118和虚拟网络120组成的虚拟资源层。其中，计算硬件112可以为专用的处理器或通用的用于提供处理和计算功能的处理器。存储硬件114用于提供存储能力，该存储能力可以是存储硬件114本身提供的(例如一台服务器的本地内存)，也可以通过网络提供(例如服务器通过网络连接一个网络存储设备)。网络硬件116可以是交换机、路由器和/或其他网络设备，网络硬件116用于实现多个设备之间的通信，多个设备之间通过无线或有线连接。NFVI130中的虚拟化层用于抽象硬件资源层的硬件资源，将VNF108和硬件资源所属的物理层解耦，向VNF提供虚拟资源。
如图1所示，虚拟资源可以包括虚拟计算110、虚拟存储118和虚拟网络120。虚拟计算110、虚拟存储118可以以虚拟机或其他虚拟容器的形式向VNF108提供虚拟资源，例如一个或多个VNF108可以部署在一台虚拟机上。虚拟化层通过抽象网络硬件116形成虚拟网络120。虚拟网络120，例如虚拟交换机(例如，Vswitches)，用于实现多个虚拟机之间，或多个承载VNF的其他类型的虚拟容器之间的通信。网络硬件的虚拟化可以通过虚拟LAN(VLAN，Vritual LAN)、虚拟专用局域网业务(VPLS，Virtual Private LAN Service)、虚拟可扩展局域网(VxLAN，Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network)或通用路由封装网络虚拟化(NVGRE，Nerwork Virtualization using Generic Routing Encapsulation)等技术实现。

MANO 128可以用于实现VNF 108和NFVI 130的监控和管理。编制器102可以与一个或多个VNF管理器104通信以实现与资源相关的请求、发送配置信息给VNF管理器104、以及收集VNF 108的状态信息。另外，编制器102还可以与虚拟化基础设施管理器106进行通信以实现资源分配，和/或实现虚拟化硬件资源的配置信息和状态信息的预留和交换。VNF管理器104可以用于管理一个或多个VNF 108，执行各种管理功能，例如初始化、更新、查询、和/或终止VNF 108。虚拟化基础设施管理器106可以用于控制 和管理VNF108和计算硬件112、存储硬件114、网络硬件116、虚拟计算110、虚拟存储118、虚拟网络120的交互。例如，虚拟化基础设施管理器106可以用于执行资源向VNF 108的分配操作。VNF管理器104和虚拟化基础设施管理器106可以互相通信以交换虚拟化硬件资源配置和状态信息。
NFVI 130包含硬件和软件，二者共同建立虚拟化环境以部署、管理和执行VNF108。换句话说，硬件资源层和虚拟资源层用于向VNF108提供虚拟资源，例如虚拟机和/或其他形式的虚拟容器。
如图1所示，VNF管理器104可以与VNF108和EMS122通信以执行VNF生命周期管理和实现配置/状态信息的交换。VNF108是至少一个网络功能的虚拟化，该网络功能之前是由物理网络设备提供的。在一种实现方式下，VNF108可以是一个虚拟化的移动管理实体(MME，Mobility Management Entity)节点，用于提供典型的非虚拟化的MME设备提供的所有网络功能。在另一种实现方式下，VNF108可以用于实现非虚拟化的MME设备上提供的全部组件中的部分组件的功能。一个虚拟机(或其他形式的虚拟容器)上可以部署有一个或多个VNF108。EMS 122可以用于管理一个或多个VNF。
可选地，该控制设备为管理和编配MANO设备。
在本发明实施例中，可以由上述VNF 108作为业务处理单元，MANO 128作为控制设备，控制各VNF 108之间的报文传输。
应理解，以上列举的业务处理单元和控制设备所对应的NFV系统100中的网元仅为示例性说明，本发明并未限定于此，其他能够实现业务处理单元和控制设备的功能的网元均落入本发明的保护范围内，以下为了便于理解，以MANO 128作为控制设备，VNF 108作为业务处理单元为例，对本发明实施例的控制报文传输的方法进行说明。
图2示出了从控制设备角度描述的本发明一实施例的控制报文传输的方法200的示意性流程图。

上述该目标业务的报文经由VNF#3(即，关联业务处理单元的一例)而传输至VNF#1(即，第一目标业务处理单元)。
该VNF#1可以通过软件版本V#1(即，第一软件版本)的处理软件对该目标业务的报文进行业务处理，并将处理后的报文传输回终端设备。
该VNF#2可以通过软件版本V#2(即，第二软件版本)的处理软件对该目标业务的报文进行业务处理，并将处理后的报文传输回终端设备。
需要说明的是，上述业务处理的过程和上述回传的过程可以与现有技术相似，这里为了避免赘述，省略其详细说明。
另外，在本发明实施例中，VNF#3作为目标报文至该VNF#1或VNF#2的传输路径上的节点，可以将报文传输至VNF#1，也可以将报文传输至VNF#2，并且上述传输可以经由其他节点的转发，也可以是直接传输，本发 明并未特别限定。并且，该VNF#3自身也可以对目标报文进行业务处理，并且该VNF#3的业务处理与VNF#1或VNF#2的业务处理可以是相关的，也可以是不相关的，本发明并未特别限定。
在本发明实施例中，该软件版本V#2是软件版本V#1的升级版本，或者说，更新版本。从而，当MANO确定对该目标业务进行业务处理的软件需要从软件版本V#1升级至软件版本V#2时，可以触发本发明实施例的方法200的流程。需要说明的是，MANO确定对该目标业务进行业务处理的软件需要从软件版本V#1升级至软件版本V#2可以与现有技术相似，例如，可以是通过从运营商获取升级指令等方式，这里，为了避免赘述，省略其详细说明。
在本发明实施例中，MANO可以根据升级计划，确定该升级在预设时间段内完成，从而，在第一时段(例如，该第一时段可以处于上述预设时段的前期)之前，MANO根据预设的第一阈值，向VNF#3发送第一控制信息，以使VNF#3根据该第一控制信息，向VNF#1和/或VNF#2发送目标业务的报文，以使在上述第一时段内，从VNF#3传输至VNF#1的目标业务的报文A数量与从VNF#3传输至VNF#2的目标业务的报文B(即第一报文的)数量满足以下式1
B/(A+B)≤N        式1
其中，该第一阈值可以是一个比例值，即，式1中的N。从而，能够确保从VNF#3传输至VNF#2的目标业务的报文B为经由该VNF#3传输的目标业务的全部报文(报文A与报文B的总和，即第二报文)中的部分报文，而非全部。从而，当软件版本V#2存在缺陷时，在该第一时段内，由于报文A能够由VNF#1通过软件版本V#1的业务处理软件正常处理，因此，发送该目标业务的报文A的终端设备不会受到影响。
可选地，该第一阈值N满足以下条件，0＜N≤0.5
具体地说，通过设置该第一阈值，使报文B的数量小于该报文A的数量，或者或，使上述第一阈值N≤0.5，能够进一步减小VNF#2的处理压力，或者说，能够进一步减小更新的软件版本(即，软件版本V#2)的处理压力。从而能够有利于验证新版本的功能及性能。
可选地，该第一阈值N满足以下条件，N＝0.1
具体地说，当报文B的数量在目标业务的全部报文中的比例在10％以下 时，能够进一步有利于验证新版本的功能及性能。
在本发明实施例中，MANO控制VNF#3向VNF#1或VNF#2的报文传输的方式可以有多种，下面，分别对各种方式进行说明。
方式1
可选地，该第一控制信息用于指示该第一阈值。
具体地说，在本发明实施例中，MANO可以直接将第一阈值(例如，上述比例值N)下发给VNF#3，从而，VNF#3可以根据该第一阈值，以规定数量(例如，100个)的报文为周期，在一个周期内，使发送至VNF#2的报文在该规定数量的报文中的比例小于或等于该第一阈值，例如，设该第一阈值为90％(或者说，0.1)，则VNF#2可以使在第一时段的最开始接收到的90个报文发送至VNF#1，之后的10个报文发送至VNF#2，再之后的90个报文发送至VNF#1，再之后的10个报文发送至VNF#2，依次类推，直至第一时段结束，从而，在第一时段所接收到的所有报文中，如果分为T个周期，则在前T－1个周期内，发送至VNF#2的报文在VNF#3发送给VNF#2或VNF#1的全部报文中的比例等于该第一阈值，在第T个周期内，发送至VNF#2的报文在VNF#3发送给VNF#2或VNF#1的全部报文中的比例小于或等于该第一阈值，从而能够满足上述式1。
应理解，以上列举的关联业务处理单元(即，VNF#3)根据该第一阈值控制发送至第一目标业务处理单元和第二目标业务处理单元的比例的方式仅为示例性说明，本发明并不限定于此，其他能够使上述使第一报文(即，传输至VNF#2的报文)与第二报文(即，传输至VNF#2或VNF#1的报文)的数量比例小于或等于该第一阈值的方式均落入本发明的保护范围内。
方式2
可选地，该关联业务处理单元为至少三个，以及
该根据预设的第一阈值，向该关联业务处理单元发送第一控制信息，包括：
根据该第一阈值和该关联业务处理单元的数量，对该关联业务处理单元进行分组，以确定第一关联业务处理单元组和第二关联业务处理单元组，其中，该第一关联业务处理单元组包括的关联业务处理单元的数量与该第二关联业务处理单元组包括的关联业务处理单元的数量的比例与该第一阈值相对应；
向该第一关联业务处理单元组包括的关联业务处理单元发送第一模式的第一控制信息，该第一模式的第一控制信息用于指示该目标业务的报文需要传输至该第二目标业务处理单元；
向该第二关联业务处理单元组包括的关联业务处理单元发送第二模式的第一控制信息，该第二模式的第一控制信息用于指示该目标业务的报文需要传输至该第一目标业务处理单元。
具体地说，方式2适用于关联业务处理单元的数量为三个或三个以上时的处理。
从而，MANO可以基于上述第一阈值对该关联业务处理单元进行分组。
作为分组方法，可以列举以下过程：
具体地说，MANO可以根据第一阈值和关联业务处理单元的数量，确定各关联业务处理单元组中包括的关联业务处理单元的数量，作为示例而非限定，设该第一阈值为90％(或者说，0.1)，设关联业务处理单元为10个，分别记做：VNF#3～VNF#12。
从而，MANO可以将上述VNF#3～VNF#12中的1个VNF分配至VNF组#1(即，第一关联业务处理单元组的一例)，并且，MANO可以将上述VNF#3～VNF#12中的9个VNF分配至VNF组#2(即，第二关联业务处理单元组的一例)。
其后，MANO可以向VNF组#1发送指示信息#1(即，第一模式的第一控制信息的一例)，该指示信息#1用于指示VNF将目标业务的报文发送至VNF#2。
并且，MANO可以向VNF组#2发送指示信息#2(即，第二模式的第一控制信息的一例)，该指示信息#2用于指示VNF将目标业务的报文发送至VNF#1。
从而，在第一时段内，有1个VNF将目标业务的报文发送至VNF#2，有9个VNF将目标业务的报文发送至VNF#1。由于通常情况下，基于系统规划，各VNF在同一时段内所发送的针对同一业务的报文数量相同或近似相同，因此能够确保在第一时段内，发送至VNF#2的目标业务的报文(即，第一报文的一例)的数量在发送至VNF#2或VNF#1的目标业务的报文(即，第二报文的一例)的数量的比例接近10％(与该第一阈值相对应)，能够满足上述式1。
可选地，该根据该第一阈值和该关联业务处理单元的数量，对该关联业务处理单元进行分组，包括：
根据该第一阈值、该关联业务处理单元的数量以及各该关联业务处理单元的实体资源的地理位置，对该关联业务处理单元进行分组。
具体地说，在进行上述分组时，MANO还可以考虑到VNF#3～VNF#12的实体资源的地理位置。例如，当运营商要求优先满足某个地区的软件升级时，MANO可以将实体资源的地理位置位于该地区的VNF分配至上述VNF组#1。
应理解，以上列举的根据各关联业务处理单元的实体资源的地理位置进行分组的方法和过程仅为示例性说明，本发明并不限定于此。
并且，上述第一阈值的数值以及关联业务处理单元的个数仅是示例性说明，本领域技术人员能够根据第一阈值的数值以及关联业务处理单元的个数对上述分组的方法可以进行适当调整和变更。
方式3
可选地，该根据预设的第一阈值，向该关联业务处理单元发送第一控制信息，包括：
根据该第一阈值，确定至少两个服务等级与该至少两个目标业务处理单元之间的映射关系，其中，一个服务等级仅对应一个目标业务处理单元；
向该关联业务处理单元发送第三模式的第一控制信息，该第三模式的第一控制信息用于指示该映射关系，以使该关联业务处理单元在接收到该目标业务的第一报文时，根据该第一报文携带的用于指示该第一报文的服务等级的标识信息，查找该映射关系，以将该第一报文发送至该第一报文的服务等级所对应的业务处理单元。
具体地说，在本发明实施例中，MANO可以例如，从运营商获知系统内用户的服务等级的数量，以及各服务等级包括的用户的数量，从而，可以推算出各服务等级的报文的数量，从而，可以根据上述第一阈值，确定各服务等级的报文所对应的目标业务处理单元(例如，上述VNF#2或VNF#1)，生成记录有各服务等级与各目标业务处理单元之间的映射关系的表项。
从而，MANO可以将该表项(即，第三模式的第一控制信息的一例)下发给各关联业务处理单元，从而，当关联业务处理单元接收到目标业务的报文时，可以从该报文中提取用于指示该报文(或者说，发送该报文的用户) 的服务等级的服务等级标识，从而，可以根据该服务等级标识，确定该报文的服务等级，并查找上述表项，从而能够确定该报文需要发送至VNF#2还是VNF#1，设存在多个服务等级，并且所推算出的多个服务等级中的服务等级#1的报文在所有服务等级的报文中的比例为10％(与该第一阈值相对应)，从而，MANO所下发的表项中，该服务等级#1与上述VNF#2相对应，从而，在第一时段内，服务等级#1的报文被发送至VNF#2，其他报文被发送至VNF#1。因此能够确保在第一时段内，发送至VNF#2的目标业务的报文(即，第一报文的一例)的数量在发送至VNF#2或VNF#1的目标业务的报文(即，第二报文的一例)的数量的比例接近10％(与该第一阈值相对应)，能够满足上述式1。
通过上述方式1至方式3，能够实现MANO对关联业务处理单元的控制，使第一报文与第二报文的数量比例小于或等于该第一阈值。
可选地，该方法还包括：
向该关联业务处理单元发送第三控制信息，该第三控制信息用于指示该关联业务处理单元在第三时段禁止将该目标业务的报文传输至该第一目标业务处理单元，其中，该第三时段处于该第一时段之后。
具体地说，在第一时段之后，MANO可以通知各关联业务处理单元在第一时段之后的第三时段禁止向VNF#1(即，第一目标业务处理单元的一例)发送目标业务的报文，或者说，目标业务的报文全部发送至VNF#2(即，第二目标业务处理单元的一例)，从而，能够在第三时段，由处理软件为升级后的版本的VNF#2对目标业务的全部报文进行处理，实现老版本业务快速消亡。
可选地，该向该关联业务处理单元发送第三控制信息，包括：
获取第二运行状态信息，该第二运行状态信息用于指示以下至少一个参数：
该第二目标业务处理单元的在该第三时段之前的资源占用率、该第二目标业务处理单元在该第三时段之前告警状态、该第二目标业务处理单元在该第三时段之前关键性能指标、该第二目标业务处理单元的在该第三时段之前的业务处理成功率或该第二目标业务处理单元的在该第三时段之前的业务处理时延；
当根据该运行状态信息确定该第二目标业务处理单元在该第三时段之 前的运行正常时，根据预设的第二阈值，向该关联业务处理单元发送该第三控制信息。
具体地说，在本发明实施例中，在第三时段之前，MANO还可以检测VNF#2(即，第二目标业务处理单元的一例)的运行是否正常，或者说，升级之后的新版本的处理软件是否存在缺陷，作为上述检测的方法，可以列举以下过程：
MANO可以获取以下至少参数，VNF#2在该第三时段之前的资源占用率、VNF#2在该第三时段之前告警状态、VNF#2在该第三时段之前关键性能指标、VNF#2在该第三时段之前的业务处理成功率或VNF#2在该第三时段之前的业务处理时延，并根据该参数确定VNF#2的运行是否正常，并且，基于上述各参数确定VNF的运行是否正常的方法可以与现有技术相似，这里，为了避免赘述，省略其详细说明。
并且，在本发明实施例中，MANO还可以获取VNF#1在第三时段之前的运行状态信息，并对VNF#1在第三时段之前的运行状态信息与VNF#2在第三时段之前的运行状态信息进行对比，从而确定VNF#2在第一时段的运行是否正常，例如，如果发生下述情况之一，则可以确定VNF#2的运转异常：
情况A：VNF#2在该第三时段之前的资源占用率大于VNF#1在该第三时段之前的资源占用率，并且，其差值超过预设的门限值A；
情况B：VNF#2在第三时段之前有告警，VNF#1在该第三时段之前无告警；
情况C：VNF#2在该第三时段之前的关键性能指标低于VNF#2在该第三时段之前的关键性能指标，并且其差值超过预设的门限值B；
情况D：VNF#2在该第三时段之前的业务处理成功率，低于VNF#1在该第三时段之前的业务处理成功率，并且其差值超过预设的门限值C；
情况E：VNF#2在第三时段之前的业务处理时延，高于VNF#2在第三时段之前的业务处理时延，并且其差值超过预设的门限值D。
应理解，以上列举的用于确定VNF的运行是否正常的参数可以单独使用也可以结合使用，本发明并未特别限定，并且，除上述列举的各参数之外，其他能够用于确定VNF的运行是否正常的参数均落入本发明的保护范围之内。
通过MANO在确定升级之后的新版本的处理软件不存在缺陷时将目标业务的全部报文转由安装有该升级之后的新版本的处理软件的VNF处理，能够进一步提高本发明的控制报文传输的方法的可靠性。
并且，当目标业务的全部报文转由安装有该升级之后的新版本的处理软件的VNF处理之后，MANO还可以触发安装有该升级之前的老版本的处理软件的VNF的资源释放过程，从而完成资源回收。
可选地，该方法还包括：
根据预设的第二阈值，向该关联业务处理单元发送第二控制信息，以控制该关联业务处理单元与该目标业务处理单元之间在第二时段进行的针对该目标业务的报文传输，以使第三报文与第四报文的数量比例大于该第一阈值，且第三报文与第四报文的数量比例大于小于或等于该第二阈值，其中，该第二阈值大于该第一阈值，该第二时段处于该第一时段之后，该第四报文包括在该第二时段传输至该第一目标业务处理单元的该目标业务的报文以及在该第二时段传输至该第二目标业务处理单元的该目标业务的报文，该第三报文包括在该第二时段传输至该第二目标业务处理单元的该目标业务的报文。
具体地说，在上述第一时段之后(在采样上述第三时段的处理的情况下，在上述第三时段之前)，MANO还可以将该第二阈值增大，并将根据该第二阈值相对应的第二控制信息下发给关联业务处理单元，以使各关联业务处理单元根据该第二控制信息，在第二时段(处于该第一时段之后，并且，处于该第三时段之前)的第二时段内，从关联业务处理单元传输至第一目标业务处理单元的目标业务的报文C数量与从关联业务处理单元传输至第二目标业务处理单元的目标业务的报文D(即第三报文的)数量满足以下式2
D/(C+D)≤K        式2
其中，该第二阈值可以是一个比例值，即，式1中的K。从而，能够确保从关联业务处理单元传输至第二目标业务处理单元的目标业务的报文D为经由该关联业务处理单元传输的目标业务的全部报文(报文C与报文D的总和，即第四报文)中的部分报文，而非全部。从而，当软件版本V#2存在缺陷时，在该第二时段内，由于报文C能够由VNF#1通过软件版本V#1的业务处理软件正常处理，因此，发送该目标业务的报文C的终端设备不会受到影响。
另外，在本发明实施例中，该第二控制信息的生成和下发过程与上述第一控制信息相似，这里，为了避免赘述，省略其详细说明。
并且，在本发明实施例中，在第一时段之后，第三时段之间可以包括多个第二时段，并且，各第二时段的处理相似，这里，为了避免赘述，省略其详细说明。
可选地，该根据预设的第二阈值，向该关联业务处理单元发送第二控制信息，包括：
获取第一运行状态信息，该第一运行状态信息用于指示以下至少一个参数：
该第二目标业务处理单元的在该第一时段的资源占用率、该第二目标业务处理单元在该第一时段的告警状态、该第二目标业务处理单元在该第一时段的关键性能指标、该第二目标业务处理单元的在该第一时段的业务处理成功率或该第二目标业务处理单元的在该第一时段的业务处理时延；
当根据该第一运行状态信息确定该第二目标业务处理单元在该第一时段的运行正常时，根据预设的第二阈值，向该关联业务处理单元发送该第二控制信息。
具体地说，在本发明实施例中，在第一时段之后，MANO还可以检测VNF#2(即，第二目标业务处理单元的一例)的运行是否正常，或者说，升级之后的新版本的处理软件是否存在缺陷，作为上述检测的方法，可以列举以下过程：
MANO可以获取以下至少参数，VNF#2在该第一时段的资源占用率、VNF#2在该第一时段的告警状态、VNF#2在该第一时段的关键性能指标、VNF#2在该第一时段的业务处理成功率或VNF#2在第一时段的业务处理时延，并根据该参数确定VNF#2的运行是否正常，并且，基于上述各参数确定VNF的运行是否正常的方法可以与现有技术相似，这里，为了避免赘述，省略其详细说明。
应理解，以上列举的用于确定VNF的运行是否正常的参数可以单独使用也可以结合使用，本发明并未特别限定，并且，除上述列举的各参数之外，其他能够用于确定VNF的运行是否正常的参数均落入本发明的保护范围之内。
并且，在本发明实施例中，MANO还可以获取VNF#1在第一时段的运 行状态信息，并对VNF#1在第一时段的运行状态信息与VNF#2在第一时段的运行状态信息进行对比，从而确定VNF#2在第一时段的运行是否正常，例如，如果发生下述情况之一，则可以确定VNF#2的运转异常：
情况F：VNF#2在该第一时段的资源占用率大于VNF#1在该第一时段的资源占用率，并且，其差值超过预设的门限值E；
情况G：VNF#2在该第一时段有告警，VNF#1在该第一时段无告警；
情况H：VNF#2在该第一时段的关键性能指标低于VNF#2在该第一时段的关键性能指标，并且其差值超过预设的门限值F；
情况I：VNF#2在该第一时段的业务处理成功率，低于VNF#1在该第一时段的业务处理成功率，并且其差值超过预设的门限值G；
情况J：VNF#2在第一时段的业务处理时延，高于VNF#2在第一时段的业务处理时延，并且其差值超过预设的门限值H。
通过MANO在确定升级之后的新版本的处理软件不存在缺陷时将逐步增大发送至通过该升级之后的新版本的处理软件对报文进行业务处理的第二目标业务处理单元，能够进一步提高本发明的控制报文传输的方法的可靠性。
图3是本发明一实施例的控制报文传输的方法的示意性交互图。在图3所示交互图中，MANO可以对应上述控制设备，关联VNF可以对应上述关联业务处理单元，VNF-old可以对应上述第一目标业务处理单元，VNF-new可以对应上述第二目标业务处理单元。
如图3所示，在S301，MANO根据第一阈值(这里，设为10％)，向关联VNF第一控制信息。
在S302，在第一时段，关联VNF将目标业务的全部报文中10％或低于00％的报文发送至VNF-new处理，将目标业务的全部报文中90％或高于90％的报文发送至VNF-old处理。
在S303，MANO根据VNF-new的运行状态信息，确定VNF-new在第一时段的运行状态是否正常，或者说VNF-new所使用的升级之后的处理软件版本是否有缺陷，如果正常则执行后续步骤，如果异常则通知关联VNF将目标业务的报文发送至VNF-old处理。
在S304，MANO根据第二阈值(这里，设为50％)，向关联VNF第二控制信息。
在S305，在第一时段，关联VNF将目标业务的全部报文中50％或低于50％的报文发送至VNF-new处理，将目标业务的全部报文中50％或高于50％的报文发送至VNF-old处理。
在S306，MANO根据VNF-new的运行状态信息，确定VNF-new在第二时段的运行状态是否正常，或者说VNF-new所使用的升级之后的处理软件版本是否有缺陷，如果正常则执行后续步骤，如果异常则通知关联VNF将目标业务的报文发送至VNF-old处理。
在S307，MANO，向关联VNF第二控制信息。
在S308，在第三时段，关联VNF将目标业务的全部报文发送至VNF-new处理。
在S309，MANO根据VNF-new的运行状态信息，确定VNF-new在第三时段的运行状态是否正常，或者说VNF-new所使用的升级之后的处理软件版本是否有缺陷，如果正常则执行后续步骤，如果异常则通知关联VNF将目标业务的报文发送至VNF-old处理。
在S310，MANO控制VNF-old进行资源释放。
应理解，以上列举的MANO向关联业务处理单元下发控制信息(包括第一控制信息，第二控制信息和第三控制信息)的方式仅为示例性说明，本发明并不限定于此，例如：
可选地，所述根据预设的第一阈值，发送第一控制信息，包括：
根据所述第一阈值，向用户设备发送第四模式的第一控制信息，以便于所述用户设备根据所述第四模式的第一控制信息为所述目标业务的报文添加所述第一目标业务处理单元的指示标识或所述第二目标业务处理单元的指示标识，以使所述关联业务处理单元根据接收到所述目标业务的报文携带的指示标识，将所述目标业务的报文发送至所对应的目标业务处理单元。
具体地说，在本发明实施例中，具体地说，MANO可以根据第一阈值和UE的数量，对UE进行分组，并确定各UE组中包括的UE的数量，作为示例而非限定，设该第一阈值为90％(或者说，0.1)，设UE为10个，分别记做：UE#1～UE#10。
从而，MANO可以将上述UE#1～UE#10中的1个UE分配至UE组#1，并且，MANO可以将上述UE#1～UE#10中的9个UE分配至UE组#2。
其后，MANO可以(通过能够与UE直接通信的VNF)向UE组#1发 送指示信息#3，该指示信息#3用于指示UE在目标业务的报文中添加标识X，该标识X用于指示该报文需要发送至第二目标业务处理单元。
并且，MANO可以(通过能够与UE直接通信的VNF)向UE组#2发送指示信息#4，该指示信息#4用于指示UE在目标业务的报文中添加标识Y，该标识Y用于指示该报文需要发送至第一目标业务处理单元。
从而，在第一时段内，当关联业务处理单元接收到上述添加有标识X或标识Y的报文时，可以根据其携带的标识，将报文发送至第一目标业务处理单元或第二目标业务处理单元，从而，有1个UE将目标业务的报文发送至VNF#2，有9个VNF将目标业务的报文发送至VNF#1。因此能够确保在第一时段内，发送至VNF#2的目标业务的报文(即，第一报文的一例)的数量在发送至VNF#2或VNF#1的目标业务的报文(即，第二报文的一例)的数量的比例接近10％(与该第一阈值相对应)，能够满足上述式1。
或者，MANO可以直接将第一阈值(例如，上述比例值N)下发给UE，从而，UE可以根据该第一阈值，以规定数量(例如，100个)的报文为周期，在一个周期内，使添加上述标记X的报文在该规定数量的报文中的比例小于或等于该第一阈值，例如，设该第一阈值为90％(或者说，0.1)，则UE可以使在第一时段的最开始需要发送90个报文添加上述标记Y，之后的10个报文添加上述标记X，再之后的90个报文添加上述标记Y，再之后的10个报文添加上述标记X，依次类推，直至第一时段结束，从而，在第一时段所接收到的所有报文中，如果分为T个周期，则在前T－1个周期内，添加上述标记X的报文在全部报文中的比例等于该第一阈值，在第T个周期内，添加上述标记X的报文在全部报文中的比例小于或等于该第一阈值，从而能够满足上述式1。
应理解，在本发明实施例中，对第一目标处理单元(即，上述VNF#1)和第二目标业务处理单元(即，上述VNF#2)的数量并未特别限定，可以是一个也可以是多个。即，当第一目标业务处理单元和第二目标业务处理单元为多个时，该多个第一目标业务处理单元和第二目标业务处理单元可以构成一个虚拟网络。并且，该多个第一目标业务处理单元与关联业务处理单元之间可以通过一个接口进行报文传输也可以通过多个接口进行报文传输，同样，多个第二目标业务处理单元与关联业务处理单元之间可以通过一个接口进行报文传输也可以通过多个接口进行报文传输，本发明并未特别限定。
根据本发明的实施例的控制报文传输的方法，可以在第一时段，根据预设的第一阈值，控制关联业务处理单元发送至第一目标业务处理单元的报文的数量以及发送至第二目标业务处理单元的报文的数量，其中，该第一目标业务处理单元用于对报文进行与更新前的软件版本相对应的业务处理，该第二目标业务处理单元用于报文进行与更新后的软件版本相对应的业务处理，使第一报文与第二报文的数量比例小于或等于该第一阈值，该第二报文是关联业务处理单元传输至该第一目标业务处理单元或第二目标业务处理单元的报文，该第一报文是在关联业务处理单元传输至该第二目标业务处理单元的报文，从而，在第一时段，只有与该第一阈值相对应的部分报文被发送至用于对报文进行与更新后的软件版本相对应的业务处理，进而，在该第一时段内，当新版本有缺陷时，不会影响所有用户的业务访问，能够改善软件升级时的用户体验。
图4示出了从关联业务处理单元角度描述的本发明一实施例的控制报文传输的方法400的示意性流程图。该方法400在包括M个业务处理单元的网络功能虚拟化NFV系统中执行，该M个业务处理单元包括至少两个目标业务处理单元和至少一个关联业务处理单元，其中，该目标业务的报文需要经由该至少一个关联业务处理单元传输至该至少两个目标业务处理单元，该至少两个目标业务处理单元中的第一目标业务处理单元用于对该目标业务的报文进行与第一软件版本相对应的业务处理，该至少两个目标业务处理单元中的第二目标业务处理单元用于对该目标业务的报文进行与第二软件版本相对应的业务处理，M≥3，如图4所示，该方法400包括：
