Description

Method for establishing BGP session, sending interface address and alias and network equipment

This application claims the priority of a Chinese patent application filed on August 7, 2018 with the State Intellectual Property Office of China, with an application number of 201810893296.2, and an invention name of "Method and Network Device for Establishing BGP Session, Sending Interface Addresses and Alias", which The entire contents are incorporated herein by reference.

Technical field

The present application relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a method and network device for establishing a BGP session and sending an interface address and an alias.

Background technique

A data center network (data center network, DCN) is a network used for data transmission. Currently, the mainstream DCN usually adopts the spine-leaf architecture.

When the spine-leaf architecture is adopted, the DCN is composed of multiple leaf nodes (ie, leaf nodes) and multiple spine nodes (ie, spine nodes). In addition, DCN uses Virtual Extensible LAN (VxLAN) as a service data bearing protocol. VxLAN is a tunneling technology that virtualizes the DCN network into an underlay network and an overlay network. After receiving the data packet to be transmitted, the Overlay network iterates the data packet to the VxLAN tunnel, encapsulates the VxLAN tunnel header in the data packet, obtains the encapsulated VxLAN tunnel packet, and the Underlay network Skip transmission of encapsulated VxLAN tunnel packets. Among them, the Underlay network can establish a session between the leaf node and the spine node through the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol or the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), so as to realize the leaf node and spine node. Connectivity, which enables data transmission between nodes in the Underlay network.

When a session is established through the OSPF protocol, each leaf node and spine node in DCN ’s Underlay network determines link state information such as the interface addresses of other nodes connected to itself, and creates a link state database containing the link state information (Link State Data Base, LSDB) calculates the shortest path between its own node and other nodes according to the LSDB, and establishes a session between the leaf node and the spine node through the shortest path. In addition, in order to ensure the consistency of the LSDB of each node in the DCN, each node needs to periodically flood its link state information, which greatly limits the size of the DCN, resulting in that the OSPF protocol is only applicable to small DCNs. Therefore, currently, BGP is usually used to establish a session between a leaf node and a spine node to achieve the connectivity between the leaf node and the spine node, that is, BGP is used as the routing protocol of the Underlay network.

A session between a leaf node and a spine node established through BGP can be called a BGP session. At present, when establishing a BGP session, a technician first configures its own interface address for each node in DCN ’s Underlay network, and then, a technician configures the interface address of the peer node for each node, thereby establishing each node and peer. BGP session between end nodes.

It can be seen that when establishing a BGP session through the existing technology, not only need to manually configure the node's own interface address for each node, but also manually configure the interface address of the peer node of the node. So the configuration process is complicated. In particular, the DCN often includes a large number of nodes, and sometimes the number of nodes is set to tens of thousands. Therefore, using the existing technology requires a large number of configuration operations, resulting in a tedious process of establishing a BGP session, and it consumes a lot of time and labor.

When the second autonomous system number is the same as the first autonomous system number received again, the first node judges the data priority of the current interactive data according to the data parameters of the current interactive data of the BGP session Whether it is high priority, the data parameters include data traffic and / or data importance;

When the data priority is not a high priority, the first node interrupts the BGP session.

It can be seen that through the above steps, when the second autonomous system number is different from the first autonomous system number received again, the corresponding processing of the BGP session can be realized according to the data priority of the current interactive data of the BGP session, thereby When the data priority is high, the BGP session can be maintained to maintain data transmission.

When a BGP session is established through the existing technology, a technician needs to manually configure its own interface address for the inline interface of each node in the bottom layer of the DCN, and it also requires a technician to manually configure the inline interface of the peer node for each node. The interface address requires a lot of configuration operations, which leads to a tedious process of establishing a BGP session and consumes a lot of time and labor.

Compared with the prior art, the configuration operation is effectively reduced, the process of establishing a BGP session is simplified, and the time and labor are reduced, thereby improving the efficiency of establishing a BGP session.

For example, if a BGP session needs to be established for the inline interface of a in the first node and the inline interface of b in the second node, in the prior art, the interface address of the inline interface needs to be configured for the inline interface, and Configure the interface address of the b inline interface for the a inline interface, and also need to configure the interface address of the b inline interface and the interface address of the a inline interface for the b inline interface, at least four configuration operations are required.

Two configuration operations. Compared with the prior art, the configuration operation is reduced.

In addition, if an inline interface a in the second node and an inline interface b in the first node need to establish M (M is a positive integer greater than 1) BGP sessions, in the prior art, an inline for a Configure M interface addresses for a inline interface and M interface addresses for b inline interface for a inline interface, and also need to configure M interface addresses for b inline interface for b inline interface, and a M interface addresses of an inline interface require at least 4M configuration operations.

With the solution disclosed in the embodiment of the present application, only M interface address aliases need to be configured for a inline interface, and M interface address aliases that match the interface address aliases of a inline interface can be configured for b inline interface. That is, only 2M configuration operations are required. Compared with the prior art, configuration operations are greatly reduced.

In particular, DCN ’s Underlay network often contains a large number of nodes. In this case, compared with the prior art, the effect of reducing the configuration operation in the embodiment of the present application is more obvious.

Further, if a BGP session is established through the existing technology, since the prior art uses a manual configuration method, errors are very likely to occur during the configuration process. In this case, the interface address of each node or the interface address of the peer node is extremely It is possible that the configuration is incorrect, which may cause an error in the establishment of the BGP session.

With the solution disclosed in the embodiment of the present application, each node actively generates the interface address of its own interface and transmits it to the peer node, without the need to manually configure the interface address. The possibility of configuration errors is greatly reduced, which can improve the BGP session. Accuracy.

detailed description

In order to solve the problems of tedious establishment process and consuming a lot of time and manpower when establishing a BGP session through the prior art, the embodiment of the present application discloses a method and network device for establishing a BGP session and sending interface addresses and aliases.

In the data center network DCN's underlying network Underlay network, there are usually two types of nodes, leaf nodes and spine nodes, of which each spine node needs to be connected to all leaf nodes, and each leaf node requires Connects to all spine nodes for data interaction between spine and leaf nodes. And, if the first node is connected to the second node, the first node can be considered as the opposite node of the second node, and the second node is the opposite node of the first node, and the first node and the second node There is a neighbor relationship.

Referring to the schematic diagram of the network topology of the DCN ’s Underlay network shown in Figure 1 (a) and Figure 1 (b), the DCN ’s Underlay network shown in Figure 1 (a) is a two-layer architecture, where one layer is a leaf node, and the other is One layer is a spine node, and the DCN's Underlay network shown in 1 (b) has a three-layer architecture, the middle layer is a spine node, and the other two layers are leaf nodes. Compared to Figure 1 (a) and Figure 1 (b), in practical applications, DCN's Underlay network contains more nodes, which can often reach hundreds of nodes. For large-scale DCNs, Underlay The number of nodes contained in the network is even tens of thousands. In this case, each node of the DCN's Underlay network can establish a BGP session by using the solution disclosed in the embodiment of the present application to implement data interaction with other nodes.

The first embodiment of the present application discloses a method for establishing a border gateway protocol BGP session. The method is applied to an underlay network of a data center network DCN. The underlay network of the DCN includes a first node and a second node, as shown in FIG. 2 Schematic diagram of the workflow, the BGP session establishment method includes the following steps:

Step S11: The first node receives a first interface address and a first interface address alias from a first inline interface of the second node, and the first inline interface is an inline of the second node. interface.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first node may be a leaf node in an Underlay network of the DCN. In this case, a second node that establishes a BGP session with the first node is a spine in the Underlay network of the DCN. node. In addition, the first node may be a spine node in an Underlay network of the DCN. In this case, a second node that establishes a BGP session with the first node is a leaf node in the Underlay network of the DCN. This application implements Examples do not limit this.

Among them, the inline interface refers to the internal interconnection interface of DCN's Underlay network. That is, the nodes in the Underlay network of DCN are interconnected through an inline interface, that is, the leaf node in the Underlay network is interconnected with the inline interface of the spine node through its own inline interface. Correspondingly, in the Underlay network, The spine node is interconnected with the inline interface of the leaf node through its own inline interface. In addition, the inline interface may be a physical interface or a virtual interface, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In addition, the second node can automatically generate the first interface address of its first inline interface according to the automatic address generation mechanism, that is, the second node can automatically generate the first interface address of the first inline interface. In addition, after the first interface address is automatically generated, the second node transmits the first interface address and the alias of the first interface address (that is, the first interface address alias) to the first node.

The interface address of the first inline interface automatically generated by the second node may be a link-local address (LLA) that complies with Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6), or a unique local address. Address (unique local address, ULA). Of course, other interface addresses that can be generated according to the automatic address generation mechanism may also be used, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

Step S12: The first node detects whether a second interface address alias of a second inline interface of the first node matches the first interface address alias.

If a BGP session needs to be established between the second inline interface and the first inline interface, a second interface address alias is configured for the second inline interface in advance, and the second interface is enabled during configuration The address alias matches the first interface address alias.

In this case, after receiving the first interface address and the first interface address alias, the first node performs detection through step S12. If it is detected that the second interface address alias matches the first interface address alias, it indicates that it is currently required A BGP session is established between the second inline interface and the first inline interface.

Wherein, the second interface address alias matches the first interface address alias, which can be a variety of situations. For example, when the second interface address alias is set to be exactly the same as the first interface address alias, the second interface address alias is considered to be the same as The first interface address alias matches, or if the first N characters in the second interface address alias are the same as the first N characters in the first interface address alias, it is determined that the second interface address alias matches the first interface address alias. Match, N is a positive integer greater than 0.

In this case, if a BGP session needs to be established between the second inline interface and the first inline interface, after configuring the first interface address alias for the first inline interface, the configuration can be completed. The first interface address alias of the second node is copied to the first node and used as the second address alias of the second inline interface in the first node to implement the configuration of the second interface address alias of the second inline interface.

A node can establish multiple BGP sessions with different inline interfaces of the same peer node through the same inline interface of itself, and can also establish multiple interface addresses with the same inline interface of the peer node by generating multiple interface addresses. Multiple BGP sessions. The interface address alias is unique between two nodes having a neighbor relationship. In this case, if a certain inline interface establishes multiple BGP sessions with the same inline interface of the peer node, the interface The address alias can distinguish each interface address and further distinguish each BGP session.

Step S13: When the second interface address alias matches the first interface address alias, the first node uses the first interface address between the second inline interface and the first internal interface. A BGP session is established between the connected interfaces.

In the embodiment of the present application, if the second interface address alias matches the first interface address alias, it indicates that a BGP session between the second inline interface and the first inline interface needs to be established. In this case, Next, the first node establishes a BGP session between the second inline interface and the first inline interface according to the first interface address, thereby implementing the establishment of a BGP session between the first node and the second node.

In practical applications, the interface address alias of each inline interface is usually pre-configured, and the interface address alias is unique between two nodes having a neighbor relationship to distinguish each BGP session. Further, for simplicity, the interface address alias of each inline interface can be configured to be unique in the DCN.

The embodiment of the present application discloses a BGP session establishment method applied to DCN, which is applied to a bottom layer network of a data center network DCN. The bottom layer network of the DCN includes a first node and a second node. In the method, the first node receives A first interface address and a first interface address alias from a first inline interface of the second node, the first inline interface being an inline interface of the second node; the first node detecting itself Whether the second interface address alias of the second inline interface matches the first interface address alias; when the second interface address alias matches the first interface address alias, the first node The first interface address establishes a BGP session between the second inline interface and the first inline interface, wherein the second inline interface of the first node and the first An inline interface interconnects.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first node can receive the first interface address and the first interface address alias of the first inline interface transmitted by the second node, and detect whether the second interface address alias configured by the second inline interface is the same as The first interface address aliases match, and if they match, the first node establishes a BGP session between the second inline interface and the first inline interface according to the received first interface address. In this case, it is only necessary to configure a first interface address alias for the first inline interface and an interface address alias that matches the first interface address alias for the second inline interface to establish a BGP session. Compared with the prior art, the configuration operation is effectively reduced, the process of establishing a BGP session is simplified, and the time and labor are reduced, thereby improving the efficiency of establishing a BGP session.

Further, when the BGP session is established through the solution disclosed in the embodiment of the present application, the amount of modification to the inline interface of each node is small, which is convenient to implement.

In addition, the nodes included in DCN's Underlay network can belong to the same autonomous system, and can also belong to different autonomous systems. If each node included in the Underlay network belongs to the same autonomous system, the BGP session established between each node is an Internal Border Gateway Protocol (Internal Border Gateway Protocol) session. Further, if each node included in the Underlay network belongs to different autonomous systems, the BGP session established between each node is an External Border Gateway Protocol (External Gateway Protocol) session. In this case, the present application discloses a second embodiment.

Referring to the schematic diagram of the work flow shown in FIG. 3, when the first node and the second node belong to different autonomous systems, the BGP session establishment method disclosed in the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps:

Step S21: The first node receives a first interface address and a first interface address alias from a first inline interface of the second node, and the first inline interface is an inline interface of the second node.

The operation process of step S21 is the same as the operation process of step S11, which can be referred to each other, and will not be repeated here.

Step S22: The first node receives a first autonomous system number of a first autonomous system to which the second node belongs.

The first autonomous system number is usually transmitted from the second node to the first node.

In DCN's Underlay network, each autonomous system will be assigned a unique number within the DCN, which is the Autonomous System Number (ASN). In the embodiment of the present application, the autonomous system to which the second node belongs is referred to as a first autonomous system, and the number of the first autonomous system is referred to as a first autonomous system number.

Step S23: The first node detects whether the second autonomous system number of the second autonomous system to which it belongs is the same as the first autonomous system number. If they are the same, perform the operation of step S24; if they are different, perform the operation of step S25.

Step S24: When the second autonomous system number is the same as the first autonomous system number, the first node determines whether the data priority of the data to be interacted is a high priority according to the data parameters of the data to be interacted with The data parameters include data traffic and / or data importance. If yes, perform the operation of step S25.

Wherein, if the data to be exchanged has a high priority, the operation of step S25 is performed, that is, if the data to be exchanged has a high priority, the first node executes a second inline interface that detects itself. Whether the second interface address alias matches the first interface address alias.

In the embodiment of the present application, different priorities may be set for the data in advance, wherein two priorities are usually set, that is, a high priority and a low priority. If the data traffic to be exchanged is large, and / or the data is important If the data is high, it is determined that the data to be interacted is a high priority. If the data flow of the data to be interacted is small and / or the data is of low importance, the data to be interacted is determined to be a low priority.

That is, if the data priority is high, even if the first autonomous system number is the same as the second autonomous system number, the first node can continue to perform subsequent operations to establish a BGP session to ensure that the data interaction can proceed smoothly. .

Step S25: The first node detects whether the second interface address alias of the second inline interface of the first node matches the first interface address alias.

Step S26: When the second interface address alias matches the first interface address alias, the first node uses the first interface address between the second inline interface and the first internal interface. A BGP session is established between the connected interfaces.

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, if it is determined by the operation of step S24 that the data priority of the data to be interacted is not a high priority, the following steps may be further included:

Step S27: When the data priority is not a high priority, the first node terminates the establishment of a BGP session with the first inline interface.

In the embodiment of the present application, if it is determined through the operation of step S23 that the second autonomous system number is the same as the first autonomous system number, it indicates that an error may occur in the process of assigning numbers to the first autonomous system and the second autonomous system. In this case, the first node will determine a processing measure according to the data priority of the data to be exchanged. Wherein, if the data flow of the data to be exchanged is large and / or the data is of high importance, it is determined that the data to be exchanged is of high priority, and the subsequent operations of establishing a BGP session are continued. In this case, when a BGP session is established, related information about the BGP session can also be recorded and used as diagnostic information for subsequent problem location.

Further, if the data flow of the data to be exchanged is small and / or the data is of low importance, it is determined that the data to be exchanged is not a high priority. In order to avoid affecting subsequent data interactions, the first node terminates the establishment of the BGP session. A BGP session with the second node is no longer established.

In addition, if the first autonomous system number is different from the second autonomous system number, the first node will continue to perform the check whether the second interface address alias of the second inline interface of the first autonomous system matches the first interface address alias. operating.

In addition, in the description of the above steps and the schematic diagram of the work flow shown in FIG. 3, the first node receives the first autonomous system number after receiving the first interface address and the first interface address alias transmitted by the second node. In the actual application process, the operation of the first node receiving the first interface address and the alias of the first interface address is not in strict sequence with the operation of receiving the first autonomous system number. For example, the first autonomous system number may be received first, and then the first interface address and the first interface address alias may be received. Alternatively, if the second node loads the first autonomous system number, the first interface address, and the first interface address alias in the same packet, the first node may also receive the first autonomous system number, the first interface address, and the first interface at the same time. Address alias.

Wherein, if the second node loads the first autonomous system number, the first interface address, and the first interface address alias into the same message, and transmits the above information to the first node through the same message, the message may be an extended router. Advertisement (Router, Advertisement, RA) message.

The RA message used in the embodiment of the present application may be shown in FIG. 4. FIG. 4 discloses a schematic format of an RA message. The RA message complies with Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6). Referring to FIG. 4, the fields in the message include: Type, Length, ASN, Type, Reserved1, Reserved2, IPv6 address, ASN, and alias-name, where the "Type" field is used to load the type of the RA message, which is usually 1 byte; the "Length" field is used to load the "Type, Length, The lengths of the eight fields: ASN, Type1, Reserved1, Reserved2, IPv6 address, ASN, and alias-name are usually in the range of [24,255] bytes; the "ASNtype" field is used to load the first autonomous system number. Type, usually 1 byte. Among them, if the type of the first autonomous system number is the type specified by RFC4271, the first autonomous system number is usually a fixed length of 2 bytes. Type, the first autonomous system number is usually a 4-byte fixed length; the "IPv6 address" field is used to load the first interface address of the first inline interface, which is usually 16 bytes; the "ASN" field is used to load the first Autonomous system number, the The segment can be 2 bytes or 4 bytes. If the field is 4 bytes, it is often not necessary to set the "Reserved 2" field in the message shown in Figure 4, and only load the first autonomous system number through the "ASN" field. If the field is 2 bytes, the "Reserved 2" field can be set, and the "Reserved 2" field is 2 bytes. The first autonomous system number is loaded together through the "ASN" field and the "Reserved 2" field; " The "alias-name" field is used to load the first interface address alias of the first inline interface. Generally, the length of the "alias-name" field = the length of the "Length" field is 24 bytes. In addition, the "alias-name" field loads the first interface address alias, which can be obtained by encoding in the form of American Standard Code (Information Interchange, ASCII).

In addition, if the second node does not transmit the first autonomous system number simultaneously with the first interface address and the first interface address alias, in order for the first node to determine the first autonomous system number after receiving the first autonomous system number For the inline interface to which it belongs, when the second node transmits the first autonomous system number, it needs to transmit the alias of the first interface address at the same time, or transmit the first interface address at the same time, so that the first node receives the first autonomous system. After the system number, the BGP session corresponding to the received first autonomous system number is determined according to the first interface address alias or the first interface address transmitted simultaneously.

After the second node transmits the first interface address and the first interface address alias to the first node, the state of the first inline interface of the second node may change, and the first interface address may also change .

In this case, in the BGP session establishment method disclosed in the embodiment of the present application, after a BGP session is established between the second inline interface and the first inline interface, if the The state changes, and / or the first interface address changes, the second node regenerates the first interface address of the first inline interface, and transmits the first interface address alias to the first node And the regenerated first interface address.

After the second node transmits the first interface address and the first interface address alias to the first node, the state of the first inline interface may change, from an up state to a down state. In this case, after the state of the first inline interface changes from the down state to the up state again, the second node will regenerate the first interface address of the first inline interface and transmit it to the first node. The first interface address alias and the regenerated first interface address.

In addition, the first interface address of the first inline interface may also change. In this case, the second node also regenerates the first interface address of the first inline interface and transmits the first interface address to the first node. The first interface address is aliased and the regenerated first interface address.

In this case, referring to the working flow diagram shown in FIG. 5, in the BGP session establishment method disclosed in the embodiment of the present application, after a BGP session is established between the second inline interface and the first inline interface, The following steps are also included:

Step S31. After the first node receives the interface address and the interface address alias again, when the interface address alias is the same as the second interface address alias, the first node according to the current interaction data of the BGP session. Data parameter to determine whether the data priority of the current interaction data is high priority.

The data parameters include data traffic and / or data importance.

If the interface address alias received again by the first node matches the second interface address alias, it indicates that the interface address alias received again is the first interface address alias, and the interface address received again is the interface of the first inline interface. Address and indicates that after the BGP session with the first inline interface is established, the state of the first inline interface may change, or the first interface address of the first inline interface may change. Based on this, the BGP session established with the first inline interface can be determined according to the first interface address alias, and further based on the data parameters of the current interactive data of the BGP session, it is determined whether the data priority of the current interactive data is high priority.

Step S32: When the data priority is a high priority, the first node keeps the BGP session unchanged.

Step S33: When the data priority is not high priority, the first node re-establishes between the second inline interface and the first inline interface according to the first interface address received again. BGP session.

In the embodiment of the present application, different priorities may be set for the data in advance, wherein two priorities are usually set, that is, a high priority and a low priority. If the current interactive data has a large data flow, and / or the data is important If it is high, it is determined that the current interaction data is of high priority. If the data flow of the current interaction data is small and / or the data is of low importance, it is determined that the current interaction data is of low priority.

In the above steps, if the data exchanged by the first node through the BGP session established with the first inline interface is more important and / or the data traffic is large, the data priority is set to a high priority. In this case, The first node may keep the BGP session that has been established with the first inline interface unchanged to avoid interruption of the BGP session, thereby affecting data interaction. In addition, diagnostic information may also be recorded. The diagnostic information records related information of the BGP session, so that problem location can be performed later.

In addition, if the data currently interacting between the second node and the first node is not important and / or the data flow is small, it is determined that the data priority is not high priority. In this case, the first node may The interface address, and re-establish the BGP session with the first inline interface to keep the BGP session updated.

In the prior art, a BGP session between nodes is created by manual configuration. If the interface address of an inline interface in one of the nodes changes, the interface address of the inline interface needs to be reconfigured, and the interface address must be modified. The configuration of the peer node of the node is relatively tedious. With the solution disclosed in this application, after the first interface address of the first inline interface changes, the second node regenerates the first interface address, and transmits the first interface address alias and the regenerated first interface to the first node. interface address.

After the first node establishes a BGP session with the first inline interface, if the interface address and the interface address alias are received again, it is detected whether the received interface address alias matches the second interface address alias. If they match, It means that the interface address alias received again is the first interface address alias, and the interface address received again is the interface address of the first inline interface. In this case, the first node determines whether the BGP session with the second node needs to be re-established according to the data parameters of the current interaction data of the BGP session established with the first inline interface. Compared with the prior art, this solution reconfigures, simplifies operations, further saves time and labor required for BGP session establishment, and improves BGP session establishment efficiency.

In addition, every time the state of the first inline interface changes, after the state of the first inline interface changes from the down state to the up state again, the second node will also resend the interface of the first inline interface to the first node. Address and interface address alias, in this case, the first node can establish a BGP session between the second inline interface and the first inline interface again after the first inline interface transitions to the up state, So that after the state of the first inline interface changes to the up state, the first node can establish a BGP session with the first inline interface in time to ensure data interaction.

When the second node transmits the interface address alias and the regenerated interface address to the first node again, the RA message shown in FIG. 4 may also be used for transmission. Of course, other types of messages may also be used. This application implements Examples do not limit this.

Further, during the operation of the DCN, the autonomous system number of the node may also change. In this case, referring to the working flow diagram shown in FIG. 6, in the embodiment of the present application, after the BGP session is established between the second inline interface and the first inline interface, the method further includes:

Step S41. After the first node receives the first autonomous system number transmitted by the second node again, the first node detects the second autonomous system number and the first autonomous system number received again. Is it the same. If not, perform the operation of step S42, and if so, perform the operation of step S43.

The second node transmits the changed first autonomous system number to the first node after the first autonomous system number changes.

In addition, when transmitting the changed first autonomous system number to the first node, it is usually necessary to transmit the first interface address alias at the same time, or simultaneously transmit the first interface address so that the first node receives the first After the autonomous system number, the BGP session corresponding to the received first autonomous system number is determined according to the first interface address alias or the first interface address transmitted simultaneously.

Step S42: The first node keeps the BGP session unchanged.

Step S43: When the second autonomous system number is the same as the first autonomous system number received again, the first node judges the current interaction data according to the data parameters of the current interaction data of the BGP session. Whether the data priority is high priority, and the data parameters include data traffic and / or data importance. If yes, go back to step S42, if no, go to step S44.

In the embodiment of the present application, different priorities may be set for the data in advance, wherein two priorities are usually set, that is, a high priority and a low priority. If the current interactive data has a large data flow, and / or the data is important If it is high, it is determined that the current interaction data has a high priority. If the data flow of the current interaction data is small and / or the data is of low importance, it is determined that the current interaction data is a low priority.

Step S44: When the data priority is not a high priority, the first node interrupts the BGP session.

During the operation of each node in the DCN, the autonomous system number may change. If the second node and the first node belong to different autonomous systems, after the first autonomous system number of the second node changes, the second node also transmits the changed first autonomous system number to the first node.

In this case, if the first node establishes a BGP session between the second inline interface and the first inline interface, and then receives the first autonomous system number transmitted by the second node again, it detects Whether its own second autonomous system number is the same as the first autonomous system number received again. If it is determined through inspection that the second autonomous system number is different from the first autonomous system number received again, the first node keeps the BGP session unchanged.

In addition, if it is determined that the second autonomous system number is the same as the first autonomous system number received again, it indicates that in the current situation, there may be an error in the autonomous system number assigned to the second node or the first node. Next, the first node will determine the processing measures according to the business requirements. Among them, if the data exchanged by the first node through the BGP session established with the first inline interface is more important, and / or the data traffic is large, the data is set. The priority is high priority. In this case, the first node can keep the BGP session that has been established with the first inline interface unchanged, so as to avoid interruption of the BGP session and affect data interaction. In addition, diagnostic information may also be recorded. The diagnostic information records related information of the BGP session, so that problem location can be performed later.

In addition, if the data currently interacting between the second node and the first node is not important and / or the data flow is small, it is determined that the data priority is not high priority. In this case, the first node may An interface address to re-establish a BGP session between the second inline interface and the first inline interface to keep the BGP session updated.

For example, if a BGP session is used, the data that is currently interacting is more important and / or the data traffic is large. Even if the first autonomous system number is the same as the second autonomous system number, in order to ensure that the data can interact, the first node can still maintain The BGP session that has been established with the second node remains unchanged. Further, the first node can also record diagnostic information. The diagnostic information records relevant information about the BGP session for subsequent problem location; or, if the first inline interface The data currently interacting with the first node is not important and / or the data flow is small. The first node can disconnect the BGP session with the first inline interface to avoid the error of autonomous system number assignment during data interaction. The impact.

In addition, in some application scenarios, it is not necessary to distinguish BGP sessions. For example, if the third inline interface in the second node only needs to establish a BGP session with the second inline interface in the first node, there is no need to establish a BGP session between the third inline interface and the second inline interface. Make a distinction. In this case, this application also discloses another embodiment. Compared with the above embodiment, the embodiment of this application further includes the following steps:

First, the first node receives a third interface address from a third inline interface of the second node.

Then, the first node detects whether to generate a second interface address of its second inline interface according to the automatic address generation mechanism, and whether to obtain a second interface address alias. When it is determined that the second interface address is generated according to the automatic address generation mechanism, and the second interface address alias is obtained, the first node according to the third interface address, in the second inline interface and the The establishment of a BGP session between the third inline interfaces is described.

After receiving the message from the second node, the first node usually detects whether an interface address alias is loaded in the message. If an interface address alias is loaded, the operations in steps S12 to S13 are performed. In addition, if it is determined that the interface address alias is not loaded in the received message, then the operations of the embodiment of the present application are performed, that is, if the first node determines that the interface address alias is not loaded in the received message, only the interface address alias is loaded. The third interface address of the third inline interface performs an operation of detecting whether to generate the second interface address of the second inline interface of itself according to the automatic address generation mechanism, and whether to obtain an alias of the second interface address.

If the second node transmits information to the first node through the RA message shown in FIG. 4, when the second node detects that no bytes are loaded in the "alias-name" field, it may determine that the received message is in the received message. No interface address alias is loaded.

If the third inline interface of the second node only establishes a BGP session with the second inline interface of the first node, since there is no need to distinguish the BGP session, in this case, the second node is generating the third inline interface After transmitting the third interface address, the third interface address is transmitted to the first node without transmitting the interface address alias of the third inline interface.

In this case, if the first node receives the interface address of the first inline interface, but does not receive the first interface address alias, the first node will detect whether to generate its own first address according to the automatic address generation mechanism. A second interface address of the two inline interfaces, and whether to obtain a second interface address alias of the second inline interface.

If the first node determines to generate the second interface address of the second inline interface according to the automatic address generation mechanism, and obtains the second interface address alias, it indicates that the first node can currently use the first interface of the first inline interface. Address to establish a BGP session with the first inline interface.

In addition, if the first node does not generate the second interface address of the second inline interface according to the automatic address generation mechanism, or the second interface address alias of the second inline interface is not obtained, or the first If a node neither generates the second interface address of the second inline interface nor obtains the second interface address alias of the second inline interface according to the automatic address generation mechanism, it indicates that the first node is currently unsuitable to establish a connection with the first internal interface. For a BGP session with an interconnected interface, a BGP session with a third inline interface is no longer established.

In the embodiment of the present application, the second node can generate an interface address of the first inline interface of the second node according to an automatic address generation mechanism. The interface address of the first inline interface may be an LLA or ULA that complies with IPv6. Among them, LLA is an IPv6 unicast address with the prefix "FE80 :: / 10", which is unique on the local link, and ULA is an IPv6 unicast address with the prefix "FC00 :: / 7", which is unique within the local network. Both LLA and ULA support the automatic address generation mechanism, that is, the nodes in the DCN can actively generate LLA or ULA according to the automatic address generation mechanism.

Further, the ULA automatically generated by the algorithm defined in the RFC 4193 file often has a very low collision probability. Therefore, when the second node applies the BGP session establishment method applied to DCN disclosed in the embodiments of this application, The interface address can be preferentially selected from the ULA automatically generated by the algorithm defined in the RFC 4193 file.

Of course, the interface address applied by the second node may also be another address that supports an automatic address generation mechanism, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Correspondingly, in another embodiment of the present application, a method for transmitting an interface address and an alias is disclosed. The method is applied to an underlying network Underlay network of a data center network DCN. The Underlay network of the DCN includes a first node and a first node. Two nodes. Referring to the schematic diagram of the workflow shown in FIG. 7, the method includes:

Step S51: The second node generates a first interface address of a first inline interface of the second node according to an automatic address generation mechanism.

The interface address of the first inline interface automatically generated by the second node may be an LLA or ULA that complies with IPv6. Of course, other interface addresses that can be generated according to the automatic address generation mechanism may also be used, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

Step S52: The second node obtains a first interface address alias of the first inline interface.

The alias of the first interface address is the alias of the first interface address. A node can establish multiple BGP sessions with different inline interfaces of the same peer node through the same inline interface of itself, and can also establish multiple interface addresses with the same inline interface of the peer node by generating multiple interface addresses. Multiple BGP sessions. The interface address alias is unique between two nodes having a neighbor relationship. In this case, the interface address alias can distinguish each interface address and further distinguish each BGP session.

In the embodiment of the present application, a first interface address alias may be configured for the first inline interface in advance. In this case, after the first interface address of the first inline interface is generated, a pre-configured first interface address alias can be obtained.

Step S53: The second node transmits the first interface address and the first interface address alias to the first node.

In the embodiment of the present application, if the second inline interface in the first node needs to establish a BGP session with the first inline interface, a second interface address alias is configured for the second inline interface in advance, and, during configuration, the The second interface address alias matches the first interface address alias. After receiving the first interface address and the first interface address alias of the first inline interface, the first node detects whether the second interface address alias of the second inline interface matches the first interface address alias. The second interface address alias matches the first interface address alias, and the first node establishes BGP between the second inline interface and the first inline interface according to the first interface address. Conversation.

When establishing a BGP session through the existing technology, a technician needs to manually configure its own interface address for the inline interface of each node in the bottom layer of the DCN, and a technician must manually configure the inline interface of the peer node for each node. Therefore, a large number of configuration operations are required, which leads to a tedious process of establishing a BGP session and consumes a lot of time and labor.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first node can receive the first interface address and the first interface address alias of the first inline interface transmitted by the second node, and detect the second interface address alias configured for the second inline interface in advance. Whether it matches the first address alias of the first interface, and if it matches, the first node establishes a BGP session between the second inline interface and the first inline interface according to the received first interface address. In this case, you only need to configure an interface address alias for the second inline interface that matches the first inline interface to establish a BGP session. Compared with the prior art, the configuration operation is effectively reduced, the process of establishing a BGP session is simplified, and the time and labor are reduced, thereby improving the efficiency of establishing a BGP session.

In addition, the first node and the second node may belong to the same autonomous system, and may also belong to different autonomous systems. If the first node and the second node belong to the same autonomous system, the BGP session established between the first node and the second node is an Internal Border Gateway Protocol (Internal Border Gateway Protocol) session. Further, if the first node and the second node belong to different autonomous systems, the BGP session established between the first node and the second node is an External Border Gateway Protocol (External Border Gateway Protocol) session.

In this case, when the first node and the second node belong to different autonomous systems, the method for establishing a BGP session applied to DCN disclosed in the embodiments of the present application further includes:

The second node transmits the first autonomous system number to the first node.

In the actual application process, the operation of the first node receiving the first interface address and the alias of the first interface address is not in strict sequence with the operation of receiving the first autonomous system number. For example, the first autonomous system number may be received first, and then the first interface address and the first interface address alias may be received. Alternatively, if the second node loads the first autonomous system number, the first interface address, and the first interface address alias in the same packet, the first node may also receive the first autonomous system number, the first interface address, and the first interface at the same time. Address alias.

Wherein, if the second node loads the first autonomous system number, the first interface address, and the first interface address alias into the same message, and transmits the above information to the first node through the same message, the message may be an extended router. An advertisement (Router, Advertisement, RA) message. The format of the RA message is shown in Figure 4.

After the second node transmits the first interface address and the first interface address alias to the first node, the state of the first inline interface of the second node may change, and the first interface address may also change . In this case, in the method for establishing a BGP session applied to DCN disclosed in the embodiments of the present application, the second node transmits the first interface address and the first node to a first node in an underlying network of the DCN. After the interface address alias, it also includes:

Further, during the operation of the DCN, the autonomous system number of the node may also change. In this case, after the second node transmits the first interface address and the first interface address alias to the first node, the method further includes:

In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the method further includes: the second node generates a third interface address of a third inline interface of the second node according to an automatic address generation mechanism, and transmits the third interface to the first node. address.

In addition, in some application scenarios, it is not necessary to distinguish BGP sessions. For example, if the third inline interface in the second node only needs to establish a BGP session with the second inline interface in the first node, there is no need to establish a BGP session between the third inline interface and the second inline interface. Make a distinction.

In this case, after receiving the third interface address of the third inline interface, the second node detects whether to generate the second interface address of its second inline interface according to the automatic address generation mechanism, and whether to obtain the second interface. Address alias. When it is determined that the second interface address is generated according to the automatic address generation mechanism, and the second interface address alias is obtained, the first node according to the third interface address, in the second inline interface and the The establishment of a BGP session between the third inline interfaces is described.

Accordingly, in another embodiment of the present application, a network device is disclosed and used as the first node. The network device is applied to a lower layer network of a data center network DCN, and the lower layer network of the DCN includes a first node and a second node.

Referring to the schematic structural diagram shown in FIG. 8, the network device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application includes a transceiver unit 110 and a processing unit 120.

The transceiver unit 110 is configured to receive a first interface address and a first interface address alias from a first inline interface of the second node, where the first inline interface is the second node's Inline interface

The processing unit 120 is configured to detect whether a second interface address alias of a second inline interface of the second interface address alias matches the first interface address alias, and when the second interface address alias matches the first interface, When the address alias matches, a BGP session is established between the second inline interface and the first inline interface according to the first interface address;

The second node can automatically generate the first interface address of the first inline interface according to the automatic address generation mechanism, that is, the second node can automatically generate the first interface address of the first inline interface. In addition, after the first interface address is automatically generated, the second node transmits the first interface address and the alias of the first interface address (that is, the first interface address alias) to the first node.

In addition, if a BGP session needs to be established between the second inline interface and the first inline interface, a second interface address alias is configured for the second inline interface in advance, and the first The second interface address alias matches the first interface address alias.

Through the solution disclosed in the embodiment of the present application, the first node can receive the first interface address and the first interface address alias of the first inline interface transmitted by the second node, and detect the second interface address alias configured by the second inline interface. Whether it matches the alias of the first interface address, and if it matches, the first node establishes a BGP session between the second inline interface and the first inline interface according to the received first interface address. In this case, it is only necessary to configure a first interface address alias for the first inline interface and an interface address alias that matches the first interface address alias for the second inline interface to establish a BGP session. Compared with the prior art, the configuration operation is effectively reduced, the process of establishing a BGP session is simplified, and the time and labor are reduced, thereby improving the efficiency of establishing a BGP session.

Further, in the BGP session establishment apparatus disclosed in the embodiments of the present application, when the first node and the second node belong to different autonomous systems, the transceiver unit is further configured to receive the second node to which the second node belongs. The first autonomous system number of the first autonomous system;

The performing, by the processing unit, the operation of detecting whether a second interface address alias of a second inline interface of the processing unit matches the first interface address alias, includes:

Detecting whether the second autonomous system number of the second autonomous system to which it belongs is the same as the first autonomous system number;

When the second autonomous system number is different from the first autonomous system number, performing an operation of detecting whether a second interface address alias of a second inline interface of the second autonomous system matches the first interface address alias;

When the second autonomous system number is the same as the first autonomous system number, determine whether the data priority of the data to be interacted is a high priority according to the data parameter of the data to be interacted, and the data parameter includes data traffic And / or data importance;

When the data priority is high priority, performing the operation of detecting whether a second interface address alias of a second inline interface of the data interface matches the first interface address alias.

In the embodiment of the present application, if it is determined that the second autonomous system number is the same as the first autonomous system number, it indicates that an error may occur in the process of assigning numbers to the first autonomous system and the second autonomous system. In this case, the first A node will determine the processing measures according to the data priority of the data to be exchanged. Wherein, if the data flow of the data to be exchanged is large and / or the data is of high importance, it is determined that the data to be exchanged is of high priority, and the subsequent operations of establishing a BGP session are continued. In this case, when a BGP session is established, related information about the BGP session can also be recorded and used as diagnostic information for subsequent problem location.

If the data flow of the data to be exchanged is small and / or the data is of low importance, it is determined that the data to be exchanged is not a high priority. In order to avoid affecting subsequent data interactions, the first node terminates the establishment of the BGP session and does not establish A BGP session with the second node.

Further, in the network device disclosed in the embodiments of the present application, the processing unit is further configured to establish a BGP session between the second inline interface and the first inline interface, and receive the interface address again. After the interface address alias, when the interface address alias matches the second interface address alias, determine whether the data priority of the current interaction data is high priority according to the data parameters of the current interaction data of the BGP session Level, the data parameters include data traffic and / or data importance;
