Description

Data packet processing method, device and system

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of optical communication technologies, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, and a system for processing a data packet.

Background technique

Passive Optical Network (PON) technology is a point-to-multipoint fiber access technology. With the continuous development of technology, EPON (Ethernet Passive Optical Network) and GPON have emerged. (Gigabit passive Optical Network, Gigabit-capacity passive optical network) and NG PON (Next Generation PON). As shown in FIG. 1 , the EPON 100 can include at least one optical line terminal (OLT) 110, an optical distribution network (ODN) 130, and multiple optical network units (Optical Network Units). ONU) 120, the OLT is connected to the ODN through a port, and the OLT and the ODN are directly connected through a trunk optical fiber, and the ODN is connected to an ONU through multiple branch fibers.

For EPON, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standard defines only 1G-EP0N and 10G-EPON standards. For example, the IEEE802.3-2005 Section 5 standard defines a 1G-EPON broadcast logical link. The identifier is 0x7fff; the IEEE802.3av standard defines the broadcast logical link identifier of the 10G-EPON as 0x7FFE. Generally, when the OLT sends a service, the OLT uses the broadcast logical link identifier to send the data packet to the ONU connected to the OLT. Then, the ONU determines which port to forward the data packet according to the locally saved user interface. The above is mainly for the case where only one ONU of the same type is connected to one port under the OLT. In the next-generation EPON system, there are different ports under one OLT. When different ports of the OLT are connected to different types of ONUs, the different types of ONUs here mainly refer to different downlink bandwidth capacities of the ONUs, for example, the OLT passes four. When the port is connected to an ONU of 25Gb/s, an ONU of 50Gb/s or an ONU of 100Gb/s, how the OLT uses the broadcast logical channel to send data packets to different types of ONUs is not relevant in the existing standards. Therefore, in the next-generation EPON system, how to efficiently implement the forwarding of broadcast services by the OLT is a problem to be solved in the next generation of EPON.

detailed description

The embodiment of the invention provides a data packet processing method and related device and system, which are used to solve the configuration and management of different types of ONUs in the next generation PON system, and greatly improve the reliability of the system.

In order to make the object, the features and the advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention.

2 is a schematic diagram of a network architecture of a next-generation EPON system. As shown in FIG. 2, the next-generation EPON system 100 includes an OLT 110, a plurality of ONUs 120, and an Optical Distribution Network (ODN) 130.

The following describes the network structure of Figure 2 below. The OLT 110 includes a data distributor and various downstream ports. The illustration is given by way of example that the data distributor is a demultiplexer DeMultiplexing, which is given as four downlink ports in the example of the downlink port diagram, given here as an example, at least two downlink ports are provided. An electrical signal is generated between the DeMultiplexing and the port, and the DeMultiplexing and the downlink port are both disposed on a board of the OLT, and each of the downlink ports can convert an electrical signal into an optical signal, and output through the port, such as As shown in FIG. 2, the four downlink ports of the OLT and the multiplexer WDM are connected by four branch fibers, and optical signals are transmitted in each branch fiber. The wavelengths of the optical signals transmitted in the branch fibers are different. It should be noted here that if the WDM is set in the OLT, the OLT Each of the downstream ports is connected to the WDM through a waveguide. The WDM and the beam splitter 130 are connected by a trunk fiber, and the beam splitter 130 is connected to the WDM of the terminal side through a branch fiber. The WDM is connected to the packet reassembler through each uplink port of the terminal side device ONU, and the packet reassembler is a multiplexer or a multiplexer in the example of FIG. 2, including but not limited to the multiplexer or the multiplexer. Waves. The WDM on the terminal side and the uplink ports on the ONU 120 transmit optical signals through the branch fibers. When the WDM of the terminal is set on the ONU 120, the WDM and the ONU 120 are connected by a waveguide for transmitting an optical signal. Each of the uplink ports on the ONU 120 converts the optical signal into an electrical signal, and transmits the data to Multiplxing for packet reassembly. An electrical signal is transmitted between the respective uplink ports and the Multiplxing. Finally, the ONU sends the reassembled service flow to the user through each downlink port (not shown in FIG. 2).

The network structure diagram of FIG. 2 described above is described in the form of a packet as follows: the OLT transmits data packets on at least one wavelength channel, and FIG. 2 shows an example in which four wavelength channels respectively carry λ0, λ ₁ , For optical signals of λ ₂ and λ3 wavelengths, each data packet can be split into a plurality of fixed-length data slices, which are converted into optical signals through ports, and transmitted in respective wavelength channels. The WDM combines the optical signals of the respective wavelength channels, transmits them to the WDM of each terminal side through the optical splitter 130, and demultiplexes them to the respective wavelength channels λ0-λ4 of the respective ONUs 120 by the WDM of the terminal side, and passes through the respective wavelengths. The channel transmits the optical signal, receives the optical signal through the port, recovers the data fragmentation, and finally performs data fragmentation and reassembly through Multiplexing, and sends the reassembled data packet to the user.

The above-mentioned channel can be understood as a wavelength channel or other channel. The wavelength channel can be a logical channel or a physical channel, or can be understood as a fiber link. This application can be understood as a physical channel. In the above network architecture diagram, the channel can be understood as a physical channel from each downlink port of the OLT to each uplink port of the ONU.

In addition, the network architecture of the above-mentioned next-generation EPON is an example of a 100GEPON architecture, that is, data transmission is performed between the OLT and the ONU through four wavelength channels, and each channel carries a data stream of 25 Gbit/s, and a total of 100 Gbit/s can be transmitted. A data stream in which a data stream is composed of a plurality of data packets.

The data packet transmitted between the OLT and the ONU may include: a control packet from the control plane and a data packet of the data plane.

The above describes the system architecture by taking 100G EPON as an example. The above system is not limited to 100G EPON, 50G EPON and 25G EPON can be applied.

Based on the network architecture provided in FIG. 2 above, a method for processing a data packet suitable for the network architecture is provided, as shown in FIG. 3. It is applied to the OLT in the above passive optical network system, specifically the protocol layering of the OLT in the PON system, especially the multi-point reconciliation sublayer (MPRS) in the protocol layer of the NG EPON, such as 100G EPON. Performing the method described below, the method comprising:

S300. The OLT determines, according to the downlink bandwidth capacity of the ONU of the optical network unit, a broadcast logical link identifier corresponding to the downlink bandwidth capacity of the ONU.

The downlink bandwidth capacity of the ONU is at least: any one of 25 Gb/s, 50 Gb/s, or 100 Gb/s; and the determined broadcast logical link identifier is at least: a first broadcast logic corresponding to 25 Gb/s. The link identifier, the second broadcast logical link identifier corresponding to 50 Gb/s, and the third broadcast logical link identifier corresponding to 100 Gb/s.

Specifically, in the protocol layer of the PON system, at least from top to bottom: a multi-point control protocol (MPCP), a media access control (MAC), and a multi-point harmonic Layer protocol layer such as MPRS. The MPCP defines a control mechanism of the point-to-multipoint optical network, generates an MPCP message, which is used for management control information of the ONU, and forwards to the MAC protocol layer; and at the MAC protocol layer, the OLT generates the MPCP generated by the MPCP protocol layer. Adding a preamble to the message to form a data packet, and forwarding the data packet to the MPRS layer; at the MPRS layer, the OLT determines a broadcast logical link identifier corresponding to the downlink bandwidth capacity of the ONU according to the downlink bandwidth capacity of the ONU, and will broadcast the logic to the data packet. The link identifier is placed in the preamble to generate a packet with the broadcast logical link identifier.

It should be noted that the downlink bandwidth capacity of the ONU can be understood as the maximum data traffic supported by the ONU port when the data packet is sent from the OLT to the ONU. For example, in the next-generation EPON, the ONU supports multiple ports, each port has a rate of 25 Gbps, and the wavelength channel corresponding to each port can carry 25 Gb/s data traffic. If the ONU supports two ports, the maximum data traffic supported by the ONU is 25*2, which is 50Gb/s. If the ONU supports four ports, the maximum data traffic supported by the ONU is 25*4, that is, 100 Gb/s, where multiple data packets constitute one data stream.

Further, before the step S300, the method further includes:

The OLT allocates different broadcast logical link identifiers according to different downlink bandwidth capacities of the ONUs:

The OLT allocates a first broadcast logical link identifier to 25 Gb/s;

The OLT allocates a second broadcast logical link identifier to 50 Gb/s;

The OLT allocates a third broadcast logical link identifier for 100 Gb/s. Further, the value of the first broadcast logical link identifier, the value of the second broadcast logical link identifier, and the value of the third broadcast logical link identifier are different.

Regarding the broadcast logical link identifier, it is described in further detail below:

Taking the 100G EPON system as an example, the 100G EPON standard includes a logical link identifier (LLID) including at least one of the following: a physical link identifier (PLID), and a broadcast user link identifier ( User Link Identifier (ULID) or Group Link Identifer (GLID), where the broadcast PLID is used to identify the transmitted management control packet, including the MPCP message and the management maintenance control OAM packet, and the broadcast ULID is used to identify User business package. The broadcast group link identifier GLID is a packet ID containing a plurality of LLIDs for identifying a transmission slot included in the uplink burst grant.

The OLT defines a corresponding broadcast logical link identifier for the downlink bandwidth capacity of the different ONUs. The value of the broadcast logical link identifier is [0x0000, 0xFFFF].

Table 1 Value table of broadcast LLID

For example, as shown in Table 1, the broadcast logical link identifier includes a broadcast PLID and a broadcast ULID as an example, and the ONBs of the three different downlink bandwidth capacities of 25 Gb/s, 50 Gb/s, and 100 Gb/s are respectively allocated corresponding broadcast PLIDs and broadcast ULIDs. . In Table 1, the value of the broadcast LLID includes 0x7FFB, 0x7FFC, and 0x7FFD. The value of the broadcast LLID is different according to the downlink bandwidth capacity of the ONU. For example, the value of the broadcast LLID is 0x7FFB, which is used to indicate the downlink direction, that is, the direction in which the OLT sends data to the ONU, and uses the value of the broadcast LLID to perform Single Copy Broadcast (SCB) on the 25Gb/s ONU. The value of the broadcast LLID is 0x7FFC, which is used to indicate that the value of the broadcast LLID is used to perform SCB on the 50Gb/s ONU. The value of the broadcast LLID is 0x7FFD, which is used to indicate that the value of the broadcast is used to the ONU of 100Gb/s. Perform the downlink SCB. The above values can also be freely allocated and defined. For the extension of Table 1, for example, the value of the broadcast LLID is 0x7FFB, which is used to indicate that the downlink SCB is performed for the 100Gb/s ONU; the value of the broadcast LLID is 0x7FFC, which is used to indicate 50Gb. The /s ONU performs the downlink SCB; the broadcast LLID takes the value 0x7FFD, which is used to indicate that the 25Gb/s ONU performs the downlink SCB.

The value of the broadcast LLID may further include 0xFFFD, 0xFFFE, 0xFFFF, and the value of the broadcast LLID is different according to the downlink bandwidth capacity of the ONU, and the value thereof is also different. For example, the value of the broadcast LLID is 0xFFFD, which is used to indicate the downlink SCB of the 25Gb/s ONU; the value of the broadcast LLID is 0xFFFE, which is used to indicate the downlink SCB of the 50Gb/s ONU; the value of the broadcast LLID is 0xFFFF, which is used for Indicates the downlink SCB of 100Gb/s ONU. The value of the above-mentioned value can also be freely allocated and defined. For example, the value of the broadcast LLID is 0xFFFD, which is used to indicate the downlink SCB of the 100Gb/s ONU, and the value of the broadcast LLID is 0xFFFE, which is used to indicate the downlink SCB of the 50Gb/s ONU. The broadcast LLID has a value of 0xFFFF and is used to indicate the downlink SCB of the 25Gb/s ONU.

The value of the broadcast LLID may further include 0x1, 0x2, and 0x3, and the value of the broadcast LLID is different according to the downlink bandwidth capacity of the ONU. For example, the value of the broadcast LLID is 0x1, which is used to indicate the downlink SCB of the 25Gb/s ONU; the value of the broadcast LLID is 0x2, which is used to indicate the downlink SCB of the 50Gb/s ONU; the value of the broadcast LLID is 0x3, which is used for Indicates the downlink SCB of 100Gb/s ONU. The value of the above-mentioned value can also be freely allocated and defined. For example, the value of the broadcast LLID is 0x1, which is used to indicate the downlink SCB of the 100Gb/s ONU, and the value of the broadcast LLID is 0x2, which is used to indicate the downlink SCB of the 50Gb/s ONU. The broadcast LLID has a value of 0x3 and is used to indicate the downlink SCB of the 25Gb/s ONU.

The broadcast LLID includes a broadcast PLID or a broadcast ULID, and the value of the broadcast PLID or the broadcast ULID may be taken from a value range of the broadcast LLLD, but may not be the same. For example, the value of the broadcast ULID includes 0x7FFB, 0x7FFC, and 0x7FFD, and the value of the broadcast ULID includes: 0xFFFD, 0xFFFE, 0xFFFF; or, the value of the broadcast ULID includes: 0x1, 0x2, 0x3.

S302. The OLT generates a data packet, where the data packet includes: the determined broadcast LLID.

Further, before the step S302, the OLT further determines, according to the downlink bandwidth capacity of the ONU, a wavelength channel corresponding to the downlink bandwidth capacity of the ONU.

Further, the OLT determines the wavelength channel corresponding to the ONU according to the downlink bandwidth capacity of the ONU, and sends the data packet on the determined wavelength channel, and the working wavelength corresponding to each wavelength channel is different. For example: as shown in Figure 4a, 25Gb/s The ONU performs data packet transmission with the OLT through the wavelength channel CH0; as shown in FIG. 4b, the 50Gb/s ONU transmits data packets through the wavelength channels CH0 and CH1 and the OLT; as shown in FIG. 4c, the 100Gb/s ONU passes the wavelength channels CH0, CH1, CH2 and CH3 transmit data packets with the OLT.

It should be noted that when the OLT sends a data packet to the 50Gb/s ONU, the OLT can select to transmit data through at least one wavelength channel in CH0 and CH1; when the OLT sends the data packet to the 100Gb/s ONU, the OLT can select to pass the CH0- Data transmission is performed on at least one wavelength channel in CH3.

Taking FIG. 4a as an example, FIG. 4a is a schematic diagram of data packet transmission of a 25 Gb/s ONU. The downlink bandwidth capacity of the ONU is 25 Gb/s, and the OLT transmits the data packet through the wavelength channel CH0 according to the wavelength channel CH0 corresponding to the 25 Gb/s ONU. For example, if the downlink bandwidth capacity of the ONU is 50 Gb, /s, the OLT determines that the wavelength channel corresponding to the 50Gb/s ONU is CH0 and CH1 according to the downlink bandwidth capacity of the ONU, and the OLT selects CH0 or CH1, or CH0 and CH1 for data packet transmission. As shown in FIG. 4c, if the downlink bandwidth capacity of the ONU is 100 Gb/s, the OLT transmits the data packet through at least one wavelength channel of the wavelength channels CH0, CH1, CH2, and CH3 according to the downlink bandwidth capacity of the ONU.

It should be noted that the wavelength channels corresponding to the ONUs of different downlink bandwidths are the same. For example, the wavelength channel corresponding to the 25Gb/s ONU is CH0, and the wavelength channels corresponding to the 50Gb/s ONU are CH0 and CH1. When the OLT sends a data packet to the 50Gb/s ONU, the data packet is transmitted through the wavelength channels CH0 and CH1 corresponding to the 50Gb/s ONU. Since the 25Gb/s ONU and the 50Gb/s ONU and the 100Gb/s ONU correspond to the wavelength channel CH0, When the OLT sends a data packet through CH0, the 25Gb/s ONU, 50Gb/s ONU, and 100Gb/s ONU will receive the data packet, and the ONU that receives the data packet is identified according to the broadcast logical link in the data packet. Identify the data packets that belong to you. For the processing method of the specific ONU data packets, please refer to the description of the following methods.

S304. The OLT sends the data packet to a wavelength channel corresponding to a downlink bandwidth capacity of the ONU.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for processing a data packet, by using an OLT to send a generated data packet with a broadcast logical link identifier to an ONU, so that the ONU identifies the data packet by using a broadcast logical link in the data packet. Filtering not only realizes the flexible management and configuration of different types of ONUs in the next-generation PON, but also the ONU generally implements filtering of data packets through the broadcast logical link identifier in the MPRS layer of the protocol layer, reducing the large amount of data. The packet is forwarded to the upper layer protocol layer caused by filtering on the MPRS layer, for example, the multi-point control protocol MPCP layer, and the processing delay of the data packet is reduced.

In the following, based on the network architecture provided in FIG. 2, a method for processing a data packet is provided, as shown in FIG. 5, which is applied to the ONU of the passive optical network, and the processing method of the data packet includes:

S500. The optical network unit ONU receives the data packet sent by the optical line terminal OLT, where the data packet includes: a broadcast logical link identifier.

The value of the first broadcast logical link identifier, the value of the second broadcast logical link identifier, and the value of the third broadcast logical link identifier are different.

Specifically, the ONU receives the data packet sent by the OLT through a wavelength channel corresponding to the ONU.

Further, the broadcast logical link identifier has a value range of [0x0000, 0xFFFF].

The downlink bandwidth capacity of the ONU is different, and the value of the broadcast logical link identifier is different.

The value of the broadcast LLID may further include 0xFFFD, 0xFFFE, 0xFFFF, and the value of the broadcast LLID is different according to the downlink bandwidth capacity of the ONU, and the value thereof is also different. Please refer to the detailed description of Table 1 for details. It will not be repeated here.

S502. The ONU identifies, according to the broadcast logical link identifier, an ONU downlink bandwidth capacity corresponding to the broadcast logical link identifier.

Before the S502, the method may further include S504:

S504: The ONU matches its own downlink bandwidth capacity with the identified ONU downlink bandwidth capacity. If the ONU matches its own downlink bandwidth capacity with the identified ONU downlink bandwidth capacity, step S506 is performed. Otherwise, step S508 is performed. Wherein, step S508 is optional.

S506: Receive the data packet when the downlink bandwidth capacity of the ONU itself is the same as the identified downlink bandwidth capacity of the ONU.

S508. When the downlink bandwidth capacity of the ONU itself is different from the identified downlink bandwidth capacity of the ONU, the data packet is discarded.

The above steps are specifically described by taking FIG. 4b as an example:

When the OLT sends the data packet to the 50Gb/s ONU, the OLT determines that the value of the broadcast logical link identifier corresponding to the 50Gb/s ONU is 0x7FFC according to the 50Gb/s ONU, and generates a data packet, where the data packet includes the broadcast LLID. The value is 0x7FFC.

The OLT determines that the wavelength channel corresponding to the 50 Gb/s ONU is CH0 and CH1, and the OLT may select CH0 or CH1 to send the generated data packet including the broadcast LLID.

When the OLT sends the generated data packet through CH0, the 25Gb/s ONU, 50Gb/s ONU, and 100Gb/s ONU will receive the data packet through CH0 according to the correspondence between the ONU downlink bandwidth capacity and the wavelength channel. After receiving the data packet, each of the ONUs respectively identifies the downlink bandwidth capacity of the ONU corresponding to the broadcast logical link identifier according to the broadcast logical link identifier. For example, after receiving the data packet according to the CH0, the 25Gb/s ONU, the 50Gb/s ONU, and the 100Gb/s ONU recognize that the ONU corresponding to the 0x7FFC is 50 Gb/s according to the broadcast logical link identifier 0x7FFC in the data packet.

The 25Gb/s ONU and 100Gb/s ONUs perform their own downlink bandwidth capacity with the identified 50Gb/s. Matching, and discovering that the downlink bandwidth capacity of the ONU is not 50 Gb/s, discarding the data packet; the 50 Gb/s ONU matches its own downlink bandwidth capacity with the identified 50 Gb/s, and matches the ONU itself. The downlink bandwidth capacity is the same as the identified 50 Gb/s, and the data packet is received. Therefore, in this way, the data packets that are not their own are filtered, which avoids forwarding a large number of data packets to the upper layer for filtering, thereby reducing the data transmission delay. The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for processing a data packet. The ONU identifies the downlink bandwidth capacity of the ONU corresponding to the broadcast logical link identifier by using the broadcast logical link identifier in the data packet, and filters the data packet, which is not only implemented. In the next-generation PON, the OLT has flexible management and configuration of different types of ONUs, and the ONU generally implements filtering of data packets through the broadcast logical link identifier at the MPRS layer of the protocol layer, and reduces the forwarding of a large number of data packets to the MPRS layer. For example, the MPCP layer of the multipoint control protocol performs the processing burden of the upper protocol layer caused by filtering, and reduces the processing delay of the data packet.

As shown in FIG. 6 , the OLT includes: a processor 600, configured to determine a downlink bandwidth capacity of the ONU according to a downlink bandwidth capacity of the optical network unit ONU.
