Description

一种组播业务控制方法和装置、计算机可读存储介质 技术领域
本发明涉及通信技术,尤指一种组播业务控制方法和装置、计算机可读存储介质。
背景技术
位索引显式复制(Bit Indexed Explicit Replication,简称BIER)是一种组播数据转发技术,将组播网络划分为BIER域,包括入口节点(Bit-Forwarding Ingress Router,简称BFIR)和出口节点(Bit-Forwarding Egress Routers,简称BFER),该技术利用比特位(BitPosition,简称BP)来标识目的节点,转发节点(Bit-Forwarding Forwarding Router,简称BFR)根据路由表及BIER信息生成BIER转发表(Bit Index Forwarding Table,简称BIFT),BFR根据组播报文携带的BIER头封装中的比特位串(BitString,简称BST)和BIFT进行转发和复制组播报文。
BIER技术中转发表是基于路由表生成的,该转发表只能指定哪些BFER需要接收报文,但并不能显式的指定报文的转发路径。draft-eckert-bier-te-arch-04提出了基于流量工程的BIER转发架构,称为BIER-TE技术,该技术引入BIER-TE控制器层,通过控制器下发转发表,同时使用路径算法计算路径,通过显式的逐跳方式转发报文。在BIER-TE中,各相邻节点之间的链路以及链路集合,统一称为邻接(adjacency)。BIER-TE不再使用BitString中的BP来标识目的节点,而是用来标识一个或多个adjacency,并根据该BP生成转发表项。adjacency类型分为四种,分别为Forward Connected,Forward Routed,ECMP和Local Decap。现有的BIER-TE方案未明确定义网络中adjacency的BP的分配原则,如果按照已有的网络拓扑全量分配,不仅灵活性差,无法实现资源的灵活调整和优化,而且极有可能导致同一路径的报文在不同的BitString中转发,从而导致组播报文转发中断或失败。

具体实施方式
为使本发明的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚明白,下文中将结合附图对本发明的实施例进行详细说明。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任意组合。
在附图的流程图中示出的步骤可以在诸如一组计算机可执行指令的计算机系统中执行。并且,虽然在流程图中示出了逻辑顺序,但是在某些情况下,可以以不同于此处的顺序执行所示出或描述的步骤。
与BIER不同,BIER-TE的adjacency数量远远大于目的节点,需要分配大量BP。由于BitString长度(BitStringLength,BSL)是受限的,BIER域进一步划分为子域(Sub-Domain,简称SD),同时利用子集标识(Set  Identifier,简称SI)进行分层,因此,BitString和由SD、SI和BSL构成的集<SD:SI:BSL>共同决定报文转发的adjacency集合,保障流量能够按照指定路径发送到所有目的节点。
BIER-TE中组播业务入口节点到每个出口节点需要经过多个adjacency,因此从BFIR到某一个BFER途中经过的所有的adjacency所分配的BP,必须同时存在于一个<SD:SI:BSL>,才能保证报文在一个BitString中转发到该BFER。但draft-eckert-bier-te-arch-04中未明确定义网络中adjacency的BP的分配原则,并且按照架构中的流程,需要先给网络内所有adjacency分配BP再计算组播流路径,导致待分配的adjacency数量庞大,如果任意分配,极大可能BFIR到每个BFER的路径经过adjacency的BP分配到不同的<SD:SI:BSL>集,即无法在同一个BitString报文中携带,从而导致组播报文转发中断或失败,使BIER-TE无法完成组播报文转发。
本申请中,不再是基于网络拓扑进行BP分配,而是基于组播业务需求;不再是对网络内所有adjacency进行全网BP分配,而是只对组播流的路径经过的adjacency进行BP分配。从而实现BIER资源的动态灵活的按需分配,保障高效可靠的组播业务转发。
如图1所示为本发明一实施例提供的BIER-TE的层次结构图,Multicast Flow Overlay(组播业务层)101和Routing Underlay(路由层)104功能与BIER一致。BIER-TE Controller(BIER-TE控制器)102作为BIER-TE的控制平面,通过Restconf协议接收组播流配置,通过Netconf等南向协议发现网络拓扑,分配BP并将生成的转发表配置到BFR。BIER-TE Forwarding Layer(BIER-TE转发层)103查找BIFT中BitString的BP,转发报文到相应的adjacency。
本发明一实施例提供一种组播业务控制装置,如图2所示,包括:拓扑管理模块201、协议适配模块202、路径计算模块203、策略控制模块204和资源管理膜205,其中:
拓扑管理模块201,设置为,获取网络拓扑信息;可选地,从设备侧收集网络拓扑信息,发送给资源管理模块205;设备侧包括网络中各节点;

在一可选实施例中,策略控制模块204分配比特位时,使得同一路径上的每个邻接所分配的比特位中存在一个比特位属于同一<SD:SI:BSL>。
在一可选实施例中,所述策略控制模块204根据如下方式分配<SD:SI:BSL>和BP:
如果所述路径集中的K条路径的所有邻接均未分配比特位,则为该K条路径分配M个由子域标识、子集标识和比特位串长度构成的集,为该K条路径的每个邻接分配比特位,为同一条路径的每个邻接分别分配一个属于同一个由子域标识、子集标识和比特位串长度构成的集的比特位,所述K小于等于所述组播业务的路径的总条数,所述M小于等于K。
对所述路径集中所经过的部分邻接已被分配过比特位的路径,按如下方式为该路径分配比特位:
如果该路径经过的部分邻接所分配的比特位属于同一由子域标识、子集标识和比特位串长度构成的集,且该路径经过的部分邻接所属的该由子域标识、子集标识和比特位串长度构成的集还有足够的未占用的比特位,则为该路径经过的其他邻接分配该由子域标识、子集标识和比特位串长度构成的集的比特位,否则,为该路径分配新的由子域标识、子集标识和比 特位串长度构成的集,并为该路径经过的所有邻接分配比特位。
可能出现以下多种情况:
情况一

情况二
K<N,此时:

对除该K条路径以外的其他任一路径:

在申请中,转发表是控制器根据组播业务需求及其分配的资源动态生成并配置到相关转发节点,并可以根据业务需求及其分配资源灵活调整。
本申请中,可扩展BIER-TE转发表配置的南向协议数据,在转发表中新增转发表标识(BIFT-id)字段,唯一标识一张子表,每个转发表标识唯一对应一个<SD:BSL:SI>集,在BIER域中全局唯一。需要说明的是,一个转发表由一个或多个子表构成,对同一个节点的转发表配置中可携带多个转发表标识,即配置多个转发表子表。所述转发表中携带转发表标识,所述转发表标识指示所述转发表中携带的比特位所属的<SD:BSL:SI>集。
由于BIER和BIER-TE中BP位标识的意义不同,转发表中对应的表项及数据也不同,为了区分BIER和BIER-TE转发表,本申请中,扩展BIER-TE转发表配置的南向协议数据,新增转发表类型字段,携带转发表类型信息,用于指示所述组播业务的转发技术类型。比如,如下表1中的BIFT-type,用于区分转发技术为BIER还是BIER-TE类型。当然,如果未来扩展了其他类型的转发表,也可以用转发表类型进行指示。
表1所示为BIER-TE转发表,该转发表以BIFT-id为索引,BIFT-type为BIER-TE,转发表的表项为本节点相关adjacency及BP。

表1中,以第二行为例,ID:1中ID是BIFT-id,1为BP值。
在本申请中,比特位串是控制器根据组播业务的入口节点和各出口节点经过的路径集的所有邻接分配的比特位生成的,一个组播业务对应一个或多个比特位串,每个比特位串唯一对应一个<SD:BSL:SI>集。由于比特位分配时是根据组播业务的路径集分配<SD:BSL:SI>集再分配比特位,能够保证入口节点到每个出口节点的路径经过的邻接可以在一个<SD:BSL:SI>集中。
在本申请中,可扩展BIER-TE比特位串配置的南向协议数据,在比特位串配置中新增转发表标识(BIFT-id)字段,每个转发表标识唯一对应一个<SD:BSL:SI>集,在BIER域中全局唯一。需要说明的是,该转发表标识在控制器配置转发表时生成,在比特位串信息中携带,下发到入口节点。在组播报文转发时,转发表标识封装在报文头中,用于查找转发表,并根据转发表和比特位串复制并转发组播报文。

所述资源管理模块还设置为,接收到所述策略控制模块的通知后,更新转发表,更新所述组播业务对应的比特位串信息,并下发到相关节点。
上述组播业务控制装置可设置在控制器中。
如图3所示,本发明一实施例提供一种组播业务控制方法,包括:
步骤301,所述控制器获取组播业务的入口节点和各出口节点;
比如,所述控制器通过接收组播业务下发的BFIR和BFER和相关的出入端口信息,确定入口节点和出口节点。
步骤302,所述控制器确定所述入口节点至所述各出口节点的路径集,为所述路径集经过的邻接分配比特位;
其中,可以通过路径计算算法计算出BFIR到各个BFER的路径,具体路径计算算法本申请不作限定。
步骤303,所述控制器根据为所述路径集所分配的BP,生成转发表并下发转发表到所述路径集经过的转发节点;
比如,为所述路径集的所有邻接分配<SD:SI:BSL>,为该路径集的每个邻接分配BP,且同一路径上的每个邻接存在一个比特位,属于同一<SD:SI:BSL>。
例如,可以通过南向接口Netconf将转发表下发到所述路径集经过的转发节点。
步骤304,所述控制器确定所述组播业务对应的比特位串信息,将所述比特位串信息下发到所述组播业务的入口节点。
在一可选实施例中,还可包括,步骤300,控制器获取网络拓扑信息;
比如,通过南向接口Netconf等从设备侧获取拓扑信息。设备侧包括BFIR、BFER和BFR等。需要说明的是,网络拓扑信息可以在系统启动后获取,然后记录网络拓扑的更新信息即可。
在其他实施例中,还可包括:步骤305,设备侧按照所述转发表逐跳转发和复制所述组播业务的组播报文。
在一可选实施例中,为每个邻接分配一个或多个比特位,且该多个比特位均属于不同的<SD:SI:BSL>。
下面进一步说明步骤302中的<SD:SI:BSL>和BP分配方式。
若入口节点为BFIR,出口节点为N个BFER,使用路径计算算法为BFIR到每个BFER计算路径后,得出N条路径,按如下方式分配:
若N条路径中的所有adjacency都未分配BP,则为N条路径经过的所有adjacency分配M个<SD:SI:BSL>,并分别分配BP,M<=N。
若N条路径中有部分路径已分配BP,则分离出未分配的K条路径,为K条路径经过的所有adjacency分配M个<SD:SI:BSL>,并分别分配BP,M<=K。
遍历每条已分配BP的路径,若该路径中经过的所有adjacency已分配 了相同的<SD:SI:BSL>,则不需要再另外分配BP;若该路径经过的adjacency分配了不同的<SD:SI:BSL>,则为该条路径重新分配<SD:SI:BSL>,并为经过的所有adjacency分配BP;若该路径经过的部分adjacency分配了相同<SD:SI:BSL>,且该<SD:SI:BSL>还有足够的BP位分配,则为该条路径的未分配BP的adjacency分配该<SD:SI:BSL>的BP。
如图4所示,一种实现BP分配的方式如下,包括:
步骤401,获取一条路径,判断该路径经过的所有邻接是否已分配BP,如果都没有,转步骤408,否则,转步骤402;
步骤402,判断该路径经过的所有邻接是否都已分配BP,如果是,转步骤403,否则,转步骤404;
步骤403,判断该路径经过的所有邻接是否属于同一<SD:SI:BSL>,如果是,转步骤409,否则,转步骤405;
步骤404,为路径部分邻接分配的BP是否属于同一<SD:SI:BSL>,如果是,转步骤406,否则,转步骤405;
步骤405,为该路径重新分配一个<SD:SI:BSL>,转步骤409;
步骤406,该路径的部分邻接所属的<SD:SI:BSL>是否存在足够未分配的BP,如果是,转步骤407,否则,转步骤405;
步骤407,该路径的未分配BP的邻接分配该路径的部分邻接所属的<SD:SI:BSL>中剩余的BP,转步骤409;
步骤408,为该路径经过的所有邻接分配<SD:SI:BSL>,并分别为该路径经过的每个邻接分配BP;
步骤409,判断是否是最后一条路径,如果是,结束;否则,获取下一条路径,进行下一条路径的BP分配,转步骤401。
BP分配完成后,根据新增的BP分配资源计算新增转发表项,通过南向接口下发到设备侧。
在一可选实施例中,所述控制器根据为所述路径集经过的所有邻接所 分配的比特位,生成转发表包括:
所述控制器为所述组播业务的路径集经过的所有邻接分配比特位后,根据为所述组播业务新增的比特位及其所属<SD:SI:BSL>集,增量生成所述转发表。因为当前的组播业务可能使用之前为其他组播业务的路径集分配的比特位,而之前的比特位相关信息已经下发到转发节点,所以此处只需要基于新增的比特位生成转发表并下发。当然,本申请不限于此,也可以基于该组播业务的路径集相关的全部比特位生成转发表然后下发到转发节点。
在一可选实施例中,所述转发表中携带转发表标识,每个所述转发表标识唯一对应一个<SD:SI:BSL>集,所述转发表标识指示所述转发表中携带的比特位所属的<SD:SI:BSL>集,
在一可选实施例中,所述转发表中携带转发表类型信息,所述转发表类型信息指示所述组播业务的转发技术类型。在一可选实施例中,若某组播业务删除,需要删除该组播业务使用的所有BP,若某些BP已被其他组播业务使用,则只需要删除其单独使用的BP,被其他组播业务使用的BP不变,被删除的BP和SI可以给其他adjacency继续分配;若某组播业务的路径集中的路径经过的链路发生拓扑变化或故障时,则删除分配给该所述路径且未被其他路径使用的比特位,获取该组播业务的更新路径,为更新路径重新分配比特位。比特位更新完成后,根据比特位及其所属的<SD:SI:BSL>集变化生成转发表标识及类型,更新转发表。
在一可选实施例中,所述方法还包括:
当所述组播业务删除时,删除分配给该组播业务且未被其他组播业务使用的比特位,更新转发表,删除所述组播业务对应的比特位串信息,并下发到相关节点。
在一可选实施例中,所述方法还包括:
当所述组播业务的路径发生拓扑变化或故障时,删除分配给所述路径且未被其他路径使用的比特位,获取所述组播业务的更新路径,为所述更 新路径所经过的邻接分配比特位,更新转发表,更新所述组播业务对应的比特位串信息,并下发到相关节点。
在一可选实施例中,所述方法还包括:
当有新的组播业务时,为所述新的组播业务的路径集的所有邻接分配比特位及其所属的由子域标识、子集标识和比特位串长度构成的集;
根据为所述新的组播业务新分配的比特位生成增量转发表并下发到转发节点;
根据为所述新的组播业务分配的比特位及转发表,生成比特位串信息,并下发到入口节点。
本申请中,转发表的生成不再是基于网络拓扑计算全网的转发表,而是基于新增BP,增量生成转发表。BIER-TE根据业务需求分配BP完成后,根据新增的BP分配计算新增转发表。由于BIER封装格式要求,BitString对应一个<SD:SI:BSL>集,BIER头中携带BIFT-id,BIFT-id实际上是<SD:SI:BSL>对应的BIFT子表号,BIFT-id具有全局唯一性。当报文为MPLS封装时,BIFT-id可以为BIER label。在BFR转发组播流时,通过BIFT-id查找转发表对应<SD:SI:BSL>集。BIFT-id由控制器全局统一分配并且每个节点都获取到同样的BIFT-id与<SD:SI:BSL>的映射信息。因此,在控制器生成转发表时按照<SD:SI:BSL>为索引生成多个子表,同时为每张子表分配BIFT-id,将新增的子表通过南向协议下发到各个BFR,实现转发表基于业务增量下发的机制。
下面通过具体实施例进一步说明本申请。
实施例一
本实施例基于图5所示的BIER组网场景。
如图5所示,BIER-TE域中包括节点BFIR1,BFIR2,BFR3,BFR4,BFR5,BFER1和BFER2。节点间的链路与端口如图5所示,每个端口在BIER-TE中分配一个adjacency ID(邻接标识),分别为A1~A14。
该网络中有两个组播业务,组播业务一和组播业务二。其中,组播业务一指定BFIR2为入节点,指定BFER1和BFER2为对其感兴趣的出口节点,使用路径计算算法,分别为首节点到两个尾节点分别计算路径,得到BFIR2到BFER1和BFER2的两条路径,如图5中虚线所示,这两条路径经过的adjacency分别如下:
BFIR2->BFER1:SRC->A13->A1->A2->A6->A7->A11->RCVs
BFIR2->BFER2:SRC->A13->A1->A2->A6->A8->A3->A5->A9->A10->A12->RCVs
组播业务二指定BFIR1为入节点,指定BFER1和BFER2为对其感兴趣的出口节点,使用路径计算算法,分别为首节点到两个尾节点分别计算路径,得到BFIR1到BFER1和BFER2的两条路径,如图5中点线所示。这两条路径经过的adjacency分别如下:
BFIR1->BFER1:SRC->A14->A4->A3->A8->A7->A11->RCVs
BFIR1->BFER2:SRC->A14->A4->A5->A9->A10->A12->RCVs
本实施例中,为组播业务一的两条路径分配相同的<SD:SI:BSL>,如<0:0:16>,分配全局唯一的BIFT-id为1,该BIFT-id与<0:0:16>对应,BIFT-type为BIER-TE。
如图6(a)所示,包括:
步骤601,控制器收集网络拓扑信息。
步骤602,组播业务一指定的入口节点和出口节点分别为BFIR2和BFER1,BFER2,控制器进行路径计算,得出BFIR2通往BFER1和BFER2的路径:
BFIR2->BFER1:SRC->A13->A1->A2->A6->A7->A11->RCVs
BFIR2->BFER2:SRC->A13->A1->A2->A6->A8->A3->A5->A9->A10->A12->RCVs
步骤603,控制器为BFIR2->BFER1所经过的所有adjacency分配SD=0, SI=0,BSL=16,对应的BIFT-id为1。对应的<SI:BP>分别为:
A13->0:13;A1->0:1;A2->0:2;A6->0:6;A7->0:7;A11->0:11。
为BFIR2->BFER2所经过所有adjacency分配<SD:SI:BSL>为SD=0,SI=0,BSL=16。对应的<SI:BP>分别为:
A8->0:8;A3->0:3;A5->0:5;A9->0:9;A10->0:10;A12->0:12。
如图6(b)所示,邻接A13被分配的<SD:SI:BSL>为<0:0:16>,对应的BIFT-id为1,分配的BP为13,图6(b)中以1:p13示意。图6(b)中其余各邻接上的示意类似,此处不再赘述。
步骤604,根据已分配的<SD:SI:BSL>以及BP,下发每个BFR的转发表。如表2所示。
表2 转发表<SD=0,SI=0,BSL=16>,BIFT-id=1
Figure PCTCN2018099946-appb-000002
需要说明的是,表2为下发给各节点的转发表的汇总。下发给各节点的转发表配置仅包含表2中的该节点相关的信息。比如,下发给BFIR2的转发表中包括如下信息:
1:p13:local_decap()
1:p2:forward_connected(BFR3)
步骤605,控制器根据SI将路径合成一个BitString下发,保留对端邻接后,合成后经过路径为:A2,A5,A7,A8,A10,A12,A11,即下发到BFIR2的SI为:Bitstring为0:0000111011010010。
组播报文转发时,设备侧各个节点将转发表项生成Bit的String形式,与BitString相与,查找不为0的bit位,逐跳转发和复制组播报文。
实施例二
本实施例基于图5所示组网,详细组网方式参考实施例一中的相关描述。
本实施例中,根据BP分配策略,为两条路径的adjacency分配不同的<SD:SI:BSL>集,分别为<0:0:8>和<0:1:16>,分别分配全局唯一的BIFT-id:2和3,BIFT-type为BIER-TE,如图7(a)所示,包括:
步骤701,控制器收集网络拓扑信息。
步骤702,组播业务指定的入口节点为BFIR2和出口节点为BFER1和BFER2,控制器进行路径计算,得出通往BFER1和BFER2的路径:
BFIR2->BFER1:SRC->A13->A1->A2->A6->A7->A11->RCVs
BFIR2->BFER2:SRC->A13->A1->A2->A6->A8->A3->A5->A9->A10->A12->RCVs
步骤703,根据策略为BFIR2->BFER1所经过的所有adjacency分配<SD:SI:BSL>为SD=0,SI=0,BSL=8。对应的<SI:BP>分别为:
A13->0:1;A1->0:2;A2->0:3;A6->0:4;A7->0:5;A11->0:6。
根据策略为BFIR2->BFER2所经过所有adjacency分配<SD:SI:BSL>为SD=0,SI=1,BSL=16。对应的<SI:BP>分别为:
A13->1:1;A1->1:2;A2->1:3;A6->1:4;A8->1:5;A3->1:6;A5->1:7;A9->1:8;A10->1:9;A12->1:10。
如图7(b)所示,邻接A13被分配的<SD:SI:BSL>为<0:0:8>,对应的BIFT-id为2,相应的BP为1,A13还被分配的<SD:SI:BSL>为<0:1:16>,对应的BIFT-id为3,相应的BP为1,图7(b)中以2:p1和3:p1示意。图7(b)中其余各邻接上被分配的<SD:SI:BSL>和BP的示意类似,此处不再赘述。
步骤704,根据已分配的<SD:SI:BSL>和BP,下发每个BFR的转发表。如表3所示。
表3 <SD=0,SI=0,BSL=8>,BIFT-id=2<SD=0,SI=1,BSL=16>,BIFT-id=3
Figure PCTCN2018099946-appb-000003
需要说明的是,表3为下发给各节点的转发表的汇总。下发给各节点的转发表仅包含表3中的该节点对应的信息。比如,下发给BFIR2的转发 表中包括如下信息:
2:p1:local_decap()
2:p3:forward_connected(BFR3)
3:p1:local_decap()
3:p3:forward_connected(BFR3)
下发给BFIR2的转发表中包括两个子表,一个是BIFT-id=2对应的子表如下:
2:p1:local_decap()
2:p3:forward_connected(BFR3)
一个是BIFT-id=3对应的子表如下:
3:p1:local_decap()
3:p3:forward_connected(BFR3)
步骤705,控制器根据SI分成两个BitString下发。下发到BFIR2的Bitstring,保留对端邻接后的路径分别为:A2,A7,A11和A2,A8,A5,A10,A12,SI:Bitstring分别为0:00110100和1:0000001101010100。
组播报文转发时,设备侧各个节点将转发表项生成Bit的String形式,与BitString相与,查找不为0的bit位,逐跳转发和复制组播报文。
实施例三
本实施例中,在已建立组播业务一且已分配BP的BIER域中建立组播业务二,其中,组播业务一按实施例二中所示分配BP。本实施例中,根据BP分配策略,分别为两条路径分配BP。其中,路径BFIR1->BFER1经过的adjacency中,A3和A8已分配到SI=1,A7和A11已分配到S1=0,在不同的SI(即不属于同一<SD:SI:BSL>,因此为该路径重新分配SI=2, BSL=8,分配全局唯一的BIFT-id为4。BFIR1->BFER2经过的adjacency A14,A4未分配,其他邻接分配到SI=1,BSL=16,而SD=0,SI=1,BSL=16中还有足够的未占用的BP,因此为A14,A4分配SD=0,SI=1,BSL=16中的BP。
如图8(a)所示,包括:
步骤801,控制器收集网络拓扑。
步骤802,组播业务二指定入口节点和出口节点分别为BFIR1和BFER1,BFER2。控制器进行路径计算,得出两条路径:
BFIR1->BFER1:SRC->A14->A4->A3->A8->A7->A11->RCVs
BFIR1->BFER2:SRC->A14->A4->A5->A9->A10->A12->RCVs
步骤803,根据策略为BFIR1->BFER1所经过所有adjacency分配<SD:SI:BSL>为SD=0,SI=2,BSL=8。对应的<SI:BP>分别为:
A14->2:1;A4->2:2;A3->2:3;A8->2:4;A7->2:5;A11->2:6。
根据策略为BFIR1->BFER2待分配的adjacency继续分配<SD:SI:BSL>为SD=0,SI=1,BSL=16。对应的<SI:BP>分别为:
A14->1:11;A4->1:12。
各邻接被分配的<SD:SI:BSL>和BP如图8(b)所示,可以看到,相比图7(b),图8(b)中,A7被分配的<SD:SI:BSL>和BP为2:p5,4:p5,相比图7(b)增加了4:p5。
步骤804,根据新增分配的BP,生成增量转发表,如表4所示。
表4<SD=0,SI=1,BSL=16>,BIFT-id=3以及<SD=0,SI=2,BSL=8>,BIFT-id=4的转发表
Figure PCTCN2018099946-appb-000004
Figure PCTCN2018099946-appb-000005
需要说明的是,由于只有表4中几个节点的邻接所分配的BP发生变化,因此,增量转发表只包括上述信息。其余未发生变化的BP无需再次下发。不同于相关技术中全网一次性下发转发表,本申请中,当有新组播业务时,根据为该组播业务分配的BP中新增的BP,下发增量转发表,携带新增的BP信息。
步骤805,控制器根据SI分成两个BitString下发。下发到BFIR1的Bitstring,保留对端邻接后的路径分别为:A3,A7,A11和A5,A10,A12,SI:Bitstring分别为2:00110100和1:0000001101000000。
组播报文转发时,设备侧各个节点将转发表项生成Bit的String形式,与BitString相与,查找不为0的bit位,逐跳转发和复制组播报文。
需要说明的是,上述实施例中所述的SI,BP,BSL的具体取值为简单示例,实际数据按照网络设备要求而定。
