Description
本公开实施例涉及但不限于一种传输控制方法、节点、网络系统及计算机可读存储介质。
5G切片(slice)对承载网的核心需求,就是不同切片需要有其专属承载子网络,不同专属子网络可以是严格的资源硬隔离,也可以是达到近似硬隔离效果的软隔离。分组网络从来没有被设计成支持硬隔离,它支持的是统计复用,相比专网或TDM(Time Division Multiplex,时分复用)网络更加经济,可见为了支持5G切片需求,分组网络需要在underlay(底层)网络资源上做切片划分,以满足不同的overlay(上层)业务的需求,如VPN(Virtual Private Network,虚拟私有网络)业务。当前业界提出了多种5G承载网切片技术,比如有的采用IGP(Interior Gateway Protocol,内部网关协仪)多拓扑技术,将同一张物理网络拓扑划分成多张逻辑子拓扑,将不同的overlay业务归属至不同的逻辑子拓扑;还有的采用IGP Flex Algorithm(灵活算法)技术,在同一拓扑内运行多种IGP算法计算得到多种转发路径,将不同的overlay业务迭代到不同的转发路径。这些方法在本质上都是类似的,均需要在分组网络设备中维护多张IGP路由表,实施开销和成本很高。

相关技术中,需要在分组网络设备中维护多张IGP路由表,实施开销和成本很高。仔细考虑5G承载的关键诉求,就会发现让IGP运行的这么复杂没有必要,只需要通过某种简单的方式将overlay业务映射到其专属的underlay网络资源上即可,这些专属网络资源可以是三层接口、二层接口、队列、处理器等。在5G承载网络中,一个基本需求是underlay网络资源需要做切片划分,即一些underlay网络资源需要被配置专属的切片标识(slice-id),另一个基本需求是overlay业务是专属切片内的业务,也会被配置其专属的slice-id。可见slice-id是关联overlay业务与underlay网络资源的关键信息,因此,本申请提出一种切片(slice)标签(label)的概念,切片标签将属于指定切片的overlay业务与underlay网络资源进行关联,另外还使得承载网络更精准的识别海量业务并提供基于业务分类的QoS(Quality of Service,服务质量)保障。基于切片标签通告和建立的MPLS LSP(Label Switched Path,标签交换路径)称为MPLS切片LSP,MPLS切片LSP将起到将切片的overlay业务与切片专属的underlay网络资源关联的作用。可以通过配置将节点的某个loopback路由作为一个具有切片能力的FEC(Forwarding Equivalence Class,转发等价类),称为FEC with slice-capability(后文简称切片FEC),并为该切片FEC分配具有切片能力的MPLS标签,称为label with slice-capability(后文简称为切片标签),并将切片FEC与切片标签的绑定关系通告给其他节点。后续基于切片标签和overlay业务标识进行报文的传输。
如图1所示,本公开一实施例提供一种传输控制方法,包括:
步骤101,节点在报文中封装所述报文对应的上层(overlay)业务标识信息;
其中,所述报文是节点自身产生的,或者,从其他节点接收到的(比 如,从CE接收到的报文)。
其中,所述上层业务标识信息与底层(underlay)网络资源存在映射关系。
步骤102,所述节点使用所述上层业务标识信息对应的业务专属的底层(underlay)网络资源传输所述报文至下一跳。
其中,步骤102中传输的报文是步骤101中已封装overlay业务标识信息的报文。
采用本实施例所述方法,与相关技术相比,不需要运行复杂的IGP多拓扑或者多算法类型来提供切片,降低了开销。相关技术中,基于IGP多拓扑或者IGP Flex Algorithm技术的方法,均需要为属于不同的拓扑或者不同的Flexe Algorithm的相同prefix FEC分配不同的MPLS标签,即为不同的切片建立到相同目的地(即相同prefix FEC)的多条不同的MPLS LSP。相比之下,本实施例提供的方案只需要为不同的切片建立到相同目的地的单条具有切片能力的MPLS LSP,极大的节约了标签资源和简化了维护开销。本实施例所述的方法比如适用于所有切片的虚拟网络为同构的场景。
在一实施例中,所述overlay业务标识信息包括以下至少之一:切片标识(slice-id)、流量工程约束指示信息(color),其中,slice-id将锁定一个切片,是一种大的业务分类,它限制了只能访问目标切片(即slice-id指示的切片)的underlay网络资源;而color将提供切片内更精细化的流分类,是大业务分类下的更小业务分类,与draft-ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy-01中定义的SR policy中的color含义相同,color取值对应一个TE(Traffic Engineering,流量工程)约束条件(如带宽、延迟、亲和力等)集合。比如,color为0表示overlay业务没有流量工程需求,color非0则表示overlay业务有流量工程需求。该实施例可以提供更精细的业务流分类,实现更多QoS等级控制。
其中,报文对应的上层业务标识信息可以从VPN(虚拟私有网络)实例中获取。比如,R1从属于vpn-1实例的CE侧接收到报文,即报文为vpn-1 的报文,而vpn-1归属于slice-1,当没有流量工程需求时,color=0,此时overlay业务标识信息为slice-id=1,color=0。如果有流量工程需求,根据流量工程需求确定color值后得到overlay业务标识信息。
在一实施例中,报文沿MPLS LSP传输,该报文在MPLS LSP的入口节点上命中相应的FTN(FEC to NHLFE Map,转发等价类至下一跳标签转发单元映射)表项时,当FTN表项中包含有预设切片标志,则该报文中将除了封装所述报文命中的FTN表项中的切片标签,还紧随切片标签之后封装所述overlay业务标识信息。即,所述在所述报文中封装所述报文对应的上层业务标识信息包括:
根据所述报文命中的FTN表项在所述报文的标签栈中封装切片标签和所述上层业务标识信息。
在一实施例中,所述上层业务标识信息在所述标签栈中的封装位置与所述切片标签在所述标签栈中的封装位置满足预设关系。比如,所述上层业务标识信息在所述标签栈中紧随所述切片标签。需要说明的是,上层业务标识信息根据需要也可以封装在其他约定位置(比如始终紧随在栈底标签之后)。图2为一实施例中切片标签和上层业务标识信息的封装示意图。如图2所示,标签栈中包括其他标签(如果可能)、切片标签、上层业务标识信息(slice-id+color)、载荷(IP、MPLS等)。本实施例中,slice-id和color各占16比特。注意有些其它的具体实施方式可能会将整个32比特都用来表示slice-id或者color,不管怎样,在MPLS报文中封装与解封装overlay业务标识信息必须要对其封装格式理解一致。另外,上层业务标识信息占用32比特仅为示例,可以使用更多或更少比特。
在一实施例中,所述方法还包括,所述节点接收到携带预设信息的标签绑定通告时,建立包含预设切片标志的FTN表项。其中,所述预设切片标志可以根据需要设定,该预设切片标志是用于指示该FTN表项中是切片FEC和切片标签的绑定。所述预设信息是用于指示标签绑定通告中携带的是切片FEC和切片标签的绑定关系,可以用来和相关技术中的FEC 和标签进行区分。标签绑定通告是用来通告切片FEC和切片标签的绑定关系。
在一实施例中,所述携带预设信息包括,保留已有的标签绑定通告消息的架构,在其中增加预设标志。
在一实施例中,所述携带预设信息包括:所述标签绑定通告中的标签类型长度值(Type Length Value,简称TLV)信息中的类型字段为预设值。该预设值是不同于相关技术中的标签TLV中的类型字段的取值。标签TLV比如为Slice Label TLV,与已有的Generic Label TLV类似,但部分字段取值不一样,或者,为Slice-Prefix-SID Sub-TLV,与已有的Prefix-SID Sub-TLV类似,但部分字段取值不一样,或者,为Slice-Label-Index TLV,与Label-Index TLV类似,但部分字段取值不一样。当然,也可以自定义一种TLV格式来携带切片FEC与切片标签的绑定关系。
在一实施例中,所述标签绑定通告中还包括上层业务标识信息的封装方式信息,所述包含所述预设切片标志的FTN表项中还包括所述上层业务标识信息的封装方式信息;
所述封装上层业务标识信息包括:
根据所命中的FTN表项中的上层业务标识信息的封装方式信息在所述报文的标签栈中封装上层业务标识信息。其中,上层业务标识信息的封装方式比如为overlay业务信息由高16-bit的slice-id和低16-bit的color组成,或者,overlay业务信息由32-bit的slice-id组成,overlay业务信息由32-bit的color组成,等等。需要说明的是,标签绑定通告中也可以不包括上层业务标识信息的封装方式,此时采取预定义方式封装。
图3a是扩展LDP支持切片FEC的标签绑定信息通告的一种具体实施方式,是在RFC5036的基础上,新增一种Slice Label TLV,与已有的Generic Label TLV完全类似,只不过TYPE取值为TBD(TBD为待分配的与现有取值不重复的新值,下同),其中enc字段指示overlay业务标识信息的封装方式(比如,enc取值0表示overlay业务信息由高16-bit的slice-id 和低16-bit的color组成,此处仅为示例,可以根据需要取其他值,或者,进行更多定义),其它字段的解释与Generic Label TLV完全相同。通过这种引入新的Slice Label TLV的实现方式,与在现有的Generic Label TLV中扩展添加预设标志或者在现有的FEC TLV中扩展添加预设标志的实现方式相比,本实施例提供的实现方式,使得不识别Slice Label TLV的旧设备将直接丢弃所接收到的切片FEC的标签绑定信息通告消息,而能识别Slice Label TLV的新设备则正常处理并安装表项。
类似的,图3b是扩展ISIS支持切片FEC的标签绑定信息通告的一种具体实施方式,是在draft-ietf-isis-segment-routing-extensions-16的基础上,新增一种Slice-Prefix-SID Sub-TLV,与已有的Prefix-SID Sub-TLV完全类似,只不过TYPE取值为TBD,在Flags字段中新增Slice-Flag标志位(比如,Slice-Flag标志位可取值为0表示overlay业务信息由高16-bit的slice-id和低16-bit的color组成,此处仅为示例,可根据需要定义其他取值),其它字段的解释与Prefix-SID Sub-TLV完全相同。通过这种引入新的Slice-Prefix-SID Sub-TLV的方式,与在现有的Prefix-SID Sub-TLV中扩展添加预设标志或者在现有的prefix通告(如TLV-135(Extended IPv4 reachability)定义于RFC5305,或TLV-235(Multitopology IPv4 Reachability)定义于RFC5120,或TLV-236(IPv6 IP Reachability)定义于RFC5308,或TLV-237(Multitopology IPv6 IP Reachability)定义于RFC5120)中扩展添加预设标志实现方式相比,本实施例中的实现方式,使得不识别Slice-Prefix-SID Sub-TLV的旧设备,将直接丢弃所接收到的切片FEC的标签绑定信息通告消息,而能识别Slice-Prefix-SID Sub-TLV的新设备则正常处理并安装表项。
类似的,图3c是扩展SR-BGP支持切片FEC的标签绑定信息通告的一种具体实施方式,是在draft-ietf-idr-bgp-prefix-sid-20的基础上,新增一种Slice-Label-Index TLV,随BGP Prefix-SID属性携带,与已有的Label-Index TLV完全类似,只不过TYPE取值为TBD,在Flags字段中新增Slice-Flag标志位(比如,可取值为0表示overlay业务信息由高16-bit的 slice-id和低16-bit的color组成,此处仅为示例,可根据需要定义其他取值),其它字段的解释与Label-Index TLV完全相同。通过这种引入新的Slice-Label-Index TLV的方式,与在现有的Label-Index TLV中扩展添加切片标志或者在现有的prefix通告(如Labeled IPv4/IPv6 unicast prefixes定义于RFC8277,简称BGP-LU路由)中扩展添加预设标志的实现方式相比,本实施例提供的实现方式,使得不识别Slice-Label-Index TLV的旧设备将直接丢弃所接收到的切片FEC的标签绑定信息通告消息,而能识别Slice-Label-Index TLV的新设备则正常处理并安装表项。
其它MPLS标签协议(如BGP)以及SR路由协议(如OSPF)的扩展也按此兼容原则,不再赘述。

本申请所介绍的方案适用于绝大多数业务都是通过最短路径转发来保证其SLA(Service Level Agreement,服务等级协定)的场景,在一些大型运营商的现网部署中,满足用户服务质量更多的是通过网络规划使得沿最短路径提供足够的带宽与时延保证,比如当带宽不够时及时增加平行链路,在这些网络中网络管理员对RSVP-TE(Resource Reservation Protocol Traffic Engineering,资源预留协议流量工程)乃至SR-TE(Segment Routing Traffic Engineering,分段路由流量工程)的动态TE路径计算结果都持担忧态度,这种TE路径更多的被认为是不可控、运维复杂。当然,本申请所介绍的方案也同样适用于TE场景。不管是TE场景下的MPLS-TE LSP,如RSVP-TE LSP、SR-TE LSP,还是非TE场景下的MPLS Best-effort LSP(基于最短路径尽力而为的转发,简称MPLS-BE LSP),如LDP(Label Distribution Protocol,标签分发协议)LSP、BGP(Border Gateway Protocol, 边界网关协议)LSP、SR Best-effort(简称SR-BE)LSP,都可采用本申请所述的方法升级为MPLS切片LSP。本申请描述一种升级方法,即针对某个FEC建立单个MPLS切片LSP服务多个不同的切片,我们称之为MPLS-TE LSP with slice-capability、MPLS-BE LSP with slice-capability,即这样的MPLS切片LSP不是为具体某个切片建立的,但是它具有携带切片信息的能力,这类切片LSP所包含的转发信息与具体切片无关。根据隧道策略,特定切片的overlay业务可以承载在MPLS-TE LSP with slice-capability或MPLS-BE LSP with slice-capability,当然也可以承载在传统的MPLS-TE LSP或MPLS-BE LSP上。
1)对于MPLS-BE LSP with slice-capability的创建:
在MPLS网络内的某个节点D上,可以通过配置将其某个loopback路由作为一个具有切片能力的FEC(Forwarding Equivalence Class,转发等价类),称为FEC with slice-capability(后文简称切片FEC),并为该切片FEC分配具有切片能力的MPLS标签,称为label with slice-capability(后文简称为切片标签),创建相应的ILM(Incoming Label Map,入标签映射)表项,该ILM表项中打上预设切片标志,则命中此ILM表项的标签报文将根据报文的标签栈中切片标签之后的overlay业务标识信息使用对应的underlay网络资源(即overlay业务标识信息指示的业务专属的underlay网络资源)处理报文。D节点可以通过标签协议,如LDP、BGP、SR(此处特指SR-MPLS,即SR应用MPLS转发平面),向其它节点S通告切片FEC与相应切片标签的绑定关系,S节点收到后,可以继续为该切片FEC分配MPLS标签并创建相应的ILM表项,表项中打上预设切片标志,标签操作为SWAP(交换),则命中此ILM表项的报文将根据报文的标签栈中切片标签之后的overlay业务标识信息使用该业务专属的underlay网络资源转发报文;S节点还可以为该切片FEC创建相应的FTN表项,表项中打上预设切片标志,则命中此FTN表项的报文除了封装切片标签以外,还封装overlay业务标识信息(可以紧随切片标签封装),然后使用该业务专属的underlay网络资源转发报文。
2)对于MPLS-TE LSP with slice-capability的创建:
与MPLS-BE LSP with slice-capability的创建类似,只不过是在TE LSP的头节点上配置相应的TE FEC为具有切片能力的FEC,则头节点将触发建立一条MPLS-TE切片LSP。我们将在后续的具体实施例中讨论RSVP-TE和SR-TE两种情况。
本公开一实施例提供的MPLS切片标签的通告及其转发机制包括以下步骤:
对于MPLS-BE LSP with slice-capability的创建:
第一步
在MPLS网络内的某个节点D上,针对其某个loopback路由(记为prefix-D)配置将作它作为切片FEC。切片FEC就是普通的prefix FEC,只不过打上了预设切片标志,并不是一种新的FEC类型,比如:对于LDP、BGP协议来说,可以照常为该prefix-D分配MPLS标签,创建相应的ILM表项,在ILM表项中打上预设切片标志;对于SR-MPLS的协议,如ISIS(Intermediate System to Intermediate System,中间系统至中间系统协议)、OSPF(Open Shortest Path First,开放式最短路径优先协议)、BGP来说,可以照常为prefix-D分配prefix-sid(Segment ID,分段标识),创建相应的ILM表项,同样也在ILM表项中打上预设切片标志。
节点D作为该切片FEC的egress节点(即出节点),ILM表项中标签操作为POP且打上预设切片标志。节点接收到命中此ILM表项的报文时,将弹掉该报文的标签栈中顶层的切片标签以及该切片标签之后紧随的overlay业务标识信息,然后使用该overlay业务标识信息对应的业务专属的underlay网络资源处理该报文。其中,overlay业务标识信息可以包含两部分内容:slice-id和color。
第二步
节点D通过MPLS标签协议向邻居节点S通告切片FEC的标签绑定消息。
能支持通告prefix类型FEC的标签绑定消息的MPLS标签协议(如LDP、BGP)以及SR路由协议(如ISIS、OSPF、BGP)等,均可扩展以支持切片FEC的标签绑定信息的通告。
在一实施例中,切片FEC的标签绑定信息的通告可以在现有的FEC通告消息(即前述标签绑定通告)中增加预设标志的方式来支持。该预设标志可以是前述的预设切片标志,也可以是其他标志。在另一实施例中,将FEC通告消息中的类型字段的值设置为不同于已有取值的值,通告切片FEC的标签绑定信息。
节点S收到切片FEC的标签绑定通告后,可作为该切片FEC的transit节点(即中间节点),为该切片FEC分配切片标签并创建相应的ILM表项,表项中打上预设切片标志,标签操作为SWAP。节点接收到命中此ILM表项的MPLS报文时,对报文的顶层切片标签做标签交换后,再根据报文中紧随切片标签之后的overlay业务标识信息使用overlay业务标识信息对应的业务专属的underlay网络资源转发报文,其中,转发时报文中的overlay业务标识信息要保留;有些特殊的场景如tracerout,S节点可能收到MPLS报文发现顶层切片标签的TTL超时,在按照RFC8029做FEC校验和标签校验时,切片标签后紧随的overlay业务标识信息应该要被忽略,不能误当成标签影响校验结果。
节点S还可以作为该切片FEC的ingress节点(即入节点),为该切片FEC创建相应的FTN表项,该FTN表项中打上预设切片标志,则节点接收到命中此FTN表项的报文时,除了在所述报文中封装切片标签以外,还紧随切片标签之后封装overlay业务标识信息。注意报文中紧随切片标签之后封装的overlay业务标识信息,本身不能被当成label,而是与切片标签作为一个整体,它不影响报文中切片标签的EXP、TTL、S字段的设置。
具体实施例一
本实施例描述LDP LSP with slice-capability,如图5所示的MPLS承载网络,在各节点(R1、R2、R3)和三层接口(port1、port2、port3、port4)上使能IGP(如ISIS)和LDP。另外为了支持5G切片划分,各三层接口资源会被划分出多个二层子接口分属不同的切片,比如配置各三层接口的sub-if-1归属于slice-1,sub-if-2归属于slice-2,sub-if-3归属于slice-3。注意为了网络规划简洁起见,不会再对各子接口做复杂的配置,比如不会在子接口上额外配置IP地址以及使能IGP或LDP协议。假设有三个L3VPN(Layer 3 Virtual Private Network,三层虚拟私有网络)业务:vpn-1、vpn-2、vpn-3,节点R1和节点R3作为VPN接入设备,在节点R1和节点R3上配置将相应的VRF(Virtual Routing Forwarding,虚拟路由转发)实例vrf1、vrf2、vrf3分别归属到切片slice-1、slice-2、slice-3,CE1-1和CE1-2是vrf1实例的客户,CE2-1和CE2-2是vrf2实例的客户,CE3-1和CE3-2是vrf3实例的客户。节点R1和节点R3之间可以通过BGP相互通告和学习VPN路由。如图6所示,本实施例提供的传输控制方法包括:
步骤601,通过LDP建立一条从节点R1至节点R3的MPLS-BE切片LSP,其中节点R1为该LSP的ingress节点,节点R2为transit节点,节点R3为egress节点。为此,在节点R3点上,将其loopback路由(如prefix-R3)配置为切片FEC,节点R3将为prefix-R3分配入切片标签label3,同时通过LDP向上游邻居节点R2通告prefix-R3与切片标签label3的绑定关系(在通告消息中包含Slice Label TLV而不是Generic Label TLV)。节点R3上将创建ILM表项,该ILM表项的标签操作为POP,该ILM表项中打上预设切片标志,并表明作为egress节点角色。
步骤602,节点R2收到节点R3的上述标签绑定通告后,重新为prefix-R3分配入标签label2,同时继续通过LDP向上游邻居节点R1通告prefix-R3与切片标签label2的绑定关系。节点R2上将创建ILM表项,该ILM表项中包含预设切片标志,标签操作为SWAP即作为transit节点角色,转发出接口为port3,出标签为label3。
步骤603,节点R1收到节点R2的上述标签绑定通告后,创建FTN 表项,该FTN表项中包含预设切片标志,作为ingress节点角色,转发出接口为port1,出标签为label2。
步骤604,节点R1通过BGP从节点R3学习到vpn-1、vpn-2、vpn-3业务相关的VPN路由,假设随路由通告时携带的VPN标签分别为vpn-label1、vpn-label2、vpn-label3,这些VPN路由都将会根据BGP下一跳(R3)迭代到上述通过LDP创建的MPLS-BE切片LSP,即节点R1上创建的FTN表项。由于该FTN表项中含有预设切片标志,所以报文在封装时支持携带VPN业务的overlay业务标识信息,VPN路由在迭代公网MPLS LSP时可以提供其overlay业务标识信息,用于映射到特定的underlay网络资源。比如节点R1上针对从CE1-1向CE1-2转发的报文封装的标签栈为:
外层标签:label2
overlay业务标识:slice-id=1,color=0
内层标签:vpn-label1
节点R1在将报文向节点R2转发时,将会使用<slice-id=1,color=0>专属的underlay网络资源,比如本实施例中专属于slice-1的port1.sub-if-1子接口及其队列等资源。此时一种可行的队列调度实现方案可以是使用color作为队列调度因子在port1.sub-if-1子接口的局部队列资源中选择将报文入驻哪个队列,或者其它方案。
步骤605,节点R2收到报文后,根据顶层标签label2命中ILM表项,由于命中的ILM表项中有预设切片标志,所以节点R2知道报文中label2的后面紧跟的是32比特的overlay业务标识信息<slice-id=1,color=0>,于是节点R2根据所命中的ILM表项中的标签操作类型SWAP,将标签label2交换成label3后向节点R3转发,转发时报文中的overlay业务标识信息不会弹出,转发时将会使用<slice-id=1,color=0>专属的underlay网络资源,比如本实施例中的port3.sub-if-1子接口及其队列等资源。
此时标签栈为:
外层标签:label3
overlay业务标识:slice-id=1,color=0
内层标签:vpn-label1
此时保留了overlay业务标识。
步骤606,节点R3收到报文后,根据顶层标签label3命中ILM表项,由于命中的ILM表项中有预设切片标志,所以节点R3知道报文中label3的后面紧跟的是32比特的overlay业务标识<slice-id=1,color=0>,于是节点R3根据命中的ILM表项中的标签操作类型POP,将标签label3以及overlay业务标识信息弹出,然后继续根据vpn-label1以及私网IP载荷查表向CE1-2转发,此时转发时仍可使用<slice-id=1,color=0>确定面向CE1-2私网客户侧的网络资源(如队列资源等)。需要说明的是,也可以不使用<slice-id=1,color=0>对应的underlay网络资源转发所述报文。
类似的,从CE2-1向CE2-2转发的报文,以及从CE3-1向CE3-2转发的报文,将分别使用slice-2和slice-3专属的underlay网络资源转发。
从以上步骤可知,overlay业务标识信息能够沿MPLS-BE切片LSP转发时携带,极大的改善了当前对于MPLS报文只能根据报文的标签中的3个比特的EXP(或称TC)字段做QoS的缺陷,32个比特的overlay业务标识信息<slice-id,color>远比3个比特的EXP能提供更精细的流分类。
需要说明的是,节点可能同时充当不同LSP的入节点、中间节点和出节点。节点上可能既有FTN表项也有ILM表项。
具体实施例二
本实施例的网络结构如图5所示。本实施例描述通过IGP建立SR-BE with slice-capability,此例中使用SR(比如ISIS-SR)替代LDP去建立MPLS-BE切片LSP,如图7所示,包括:
步骤701,通过SR建立一条从节点R1至节点R3的MPLS-BE切片 LSP。为此,在节点R3上,将其loopback路由(如prefix-R3)配置为切片FEC以及在SR功能内为prefix-R3配置相应的slice-prefix-sid(如sid3),slice-prefix-sid将随prefix-R3在网络内泛洪(在prefix泛洪消息中包含Slice-Prefix-SID Sub-TLV)。节点R3上将创建ILM表项(假设根据sid3和R3的SRGB(SR Global Block分段路由全局标签块)换算得到绝对标签label3),标签操作为POP,该ILM表项中打上预设切片标志,并表明作为egress节点角色。
步骤702,节点R2收到节点R3的prefix-R3泛洪消息后,继续向节点R1泛洪。同时节点R2上将创建ILM表项(假设根据sid3和节点R2的SRGB换算得到绝对标签label2),该ILM表项中包含预设切片标志,标签操作为SWAP即作为transit节点角色,转发出接口为port3,出标签为label3。
步骤703,节点R1收到节点R2的prefix-3泛洪消息后,创建FTN表项,表项中包含预设切片标志,作为ingress节点角色,转发出接口为port1,出标签为label2。
步骤704,接下来的VPN业务承载在上述MPLS-BE切片LSP的报文转发流程与具体实施例一类似,节点R1通过BGP从R3学习到vpn-1、vpn-2、vpn-3业务相关的VPN路由,假设随路由通告时携带的VPN标签分别为vpn-label1、vpn-label2、vpn-label3,这些VPN路由都将会根据BGP下一跳(R3)迭代到上述通过LDP创建的MPLS-BE切片LSP,即节点R1上创建的FTN表项。由于该FTN表项中含有预设切片标志,所以报文在封装时支持携带VPN业务的overlay业务标识信息,VPN路由在迭代公网MPLS LSP时可以提供其overlay业务标识信息,用于映射到特定的underlay网络资源。比如节点R1上针对从CE1-1向CE1-2转发的报文封装的标签栈为:
外层标签:label2
overlay业务标识:slice-id=1,color=0
内层标签:vpn-label1
节点R1在将报文向节点R2转发时,将会使用<slice-id=1,color=0>专属的underlay网络资源,比如本实施例中专属于slice-1的port1.sub-if-1子接口及其队列等资源。此时一种可行的队列调度实现方案可以是使用color作为队列调度因子在port1.sub-if-1子接口的局部队列资源中选择将报文入驻哪个队列,或者其它方案。
步骤705,节点R2收到报文后,根据顶层标签label2命中ILM表项,由于命中的ILM表项中有预设切片标志,所以节点R2知道报文中label2的后面紧跟的是32比特的overlay业务标识信息<slice-id=1,color=0>,于是节点R2根据所命中的ILM表项中的标签操作类型SWAP,将标签label2交换成label3后向节点R3转发,转发时报文中的overlay业务标识信息不会弹出,转发时将会使用<slice-id=1,color=0>专属的underlay网络资源,比如本实施例中的port3.sub-if-1子接口及其队列等资源。
步骤706,节点R3收到报文后,根据顶层标签label3命中ILM表项,由于命中的ILM表项中有预设切片标志,所以节点R3知道报文中label3的后面紧跟的是32比特的overlay业务标识<slice-id=1,color=0>,于是节点R3根据命中的ILM表项中的标签操作类型POP,将标签label3以及overlay业务标识信息弹出,然后继续根据vpn-label1以及私网IP载荷查表向CE1-2转发,此时转发时仍可使用<slice-id=1,color=0>确定面向CE1-2私网客户侧的网络资源(如队列资源等)。需要说明的是,也可以不使用<slice-id=1,color=0>对应的underlay网络资源转发所述报文。
具体实施例三
本实施例与具体实施例一类似,此例中我们以物理链路为单位划分到不同的切片,如图8所示,首先仍然在各节点(R1、R2、R3、R4)和三层链路(link1、link2、link3、link4)上使能IGP(如ISIS)和LDP。另外,配置link1和link3归属于slice-1,link2和link4归属于slice-2。假设有两 个L3VPN业务:vpn-1、vpn-2,R1和R4作为PE(Provider Edge,服务商边缘路由器)设备,在R1和R4上配置将相应的VRF实例vrf1、vrf2分别归属到切片slice-1、slice-2,CE1-1和CE1-2是vrf1实例的客户,CE2-1和CE2-2是vrf2实例的客户。R1和R4之间可以通过BGP相互通告和学习VPN路由。如图9所示,包括:
步骤901,通过LDP建立一条从节点R1至节点R4的MPLS-BE切片LSP。为此,在节点R4上,将其loopback路由(如prefix-R4)配置为切片FEC,节点R4将为prefix-R4分配入标签label4,同时通过LDP向上游邻居节点R2和节点R3通告prefix-R4与切片标签label4的绑定关系。节点R4上将创建ILM表项,标签操作为POP,表项中打上预设切片标志,并表明作为egress节点角色。
步骤902,节点R2收到节点R4的上述切片标签通告后,重新为prefix-R4分配入标签label2,同时继续通过LDP向上游邻居节点R1通告prefix-R4与切片标签label2的绑定关系。节点R2上将创建ILM表项,表项中包含预设切片标志,标签操作为SWAP即作为transit节点角色,转发出接口为link3,出标签为label4。
节点R3也收到节点R4的上述标签绑定通告,与节点R2的处理类似,重新为prefix-R4分配入标签label3并向上游邻居节点R1通告。创建ILM表项,表项中包含预设切片标志,标签操作为SWAP即作为transit节点角色,转发出接口为link4,出标签为label4。
步骤903,节点R1收到节点R2与节点R3的上述标签绑定通告后,创建FTN表项,表项中包含预设切片标志,作为ingress节点角色,转发信息为“出接口为link1,出标签为label2”与“出接口为link2,出标签为label3”形成的ECMP(Equivalent Cost Multi-path负载均衡)。
步骤904,节点R1通过BGP从节点R3学习到vpn-1、vpn-2业务相关的VPN路由,假设随路由通告时携带的VPN标签分别为vpn-label1、vpn-label2,这些VPN路由都将会根据BGP下一跳(节点R4)迭代到上 述通过LDP创建的MPLS-BE切片LSP,即节点R1上创建的FTN表项。由于该FTN表项中含有预设切片标志,所以报文在封装时支持携带VPN业务标识,VPN路由在迭代公网MPLS LSP时可以提供其overlay业务标识信息,用于映射到特定的underlay网络资源。比如节点R1上针对从CE1-1问CE1-2转发的报文封装的标签栈为:
外层标签:label2
overlay业务标识:slice-id=1,color=0
内层标签:vpn-label1
节点R1会将报文向节点R2转发,即使用<slice-id=1,color=0>专属的underlay网络资源,比如本实施例中专属于slice-1的link1及其队列等资源。即VPN路由在迭代至公网的ECMP转发信息时,根据overlay业务标识信息仅使用ECMP中属于相应切片的特定ECMP成员。
而节点R1上针对从CE2-1问CE2-2转发的报文封装的标签栈为:
外层标签:label3
overlay业务标识:slice-id=2,color=0
内层标签:vpn-label2
节点R1将报文向节点R3转发,使用<slice-id=2,color=0>专属的underlay网络资源,比如本实施例中专属于slice-2的link2及其队列等资源。
步骤905,节点R2收到报文后,根据顶层标签label2命中ILM表项,由于ILM表项中有预设切片标志,所以节点R2知道报文中label2的后面紧跟的是32比特的overlay业务标识信息<slice-id=1,color=0>,于是节点R2根据ILM表项中的标签操作类型SWAP,将标签label2交换成label4后向R4转发,转发时报文中的overlay业务标识不会弹出,转发时使用<slice-id=1,color=0>专属的underlay网络资源,比如本实施例中的link3及其队列等资源。
类似的,节点R3收到报文后,将标签label3交换成label4后向R4转发,转发时报文中的overlay业务标识信息不会弹出,转发时使用<slice-id=2,color=0>专属的underlay网络资源,比如本实施例中的link4及其队列等资源。
步骤906,节点R4从节点R2收到报文后,根据顶层标签label4命中ILM表项,由于命中的ILM表项中有预设切片标志,所以节点R4知道报文中label4的后面紧跟的是32比特的overlay业务标识信息<slice-id=1,color=0>,于是节点R4根据命中的ILM表项中的标签操作类型POP,将标签label4以及overlay业务标识弹出,然后继续根据vpn-label1以及私网IP载荷查表向CE1-2转发,此时转发时仍可使用<slice-id=1,color=0>确定面向CE1-2私网客户侧的网络资源。
类似的,节点R4从节点R3收到报文后,将标签label4以及overlay业务标识弹出,然后继续根据vpn-label2以及私网IP载荷查表向CE2-2转发,此时转发时仍可使用<slice-id=2,color=0>确定面向CE2-2私网客户侧的网络资源。
具体实施例四
本实施例描述通过BGP-LU建立SR-BE with slice-capability,与具体实施例二类似,只不过通过BGP-LU建立跨域的MPLS-BE切片LSP,如图10所示,PE1和PE2分别属于不同的AS(自治系统),它们之间将建立一条跨AS的BGP LSP并通过BGP相互通告和学习VPN路由。各AS内均IGP可达。在AS1内,在te-tunnel1的头节点上配置te-tunnel1归属于slice-1,在te-tunnel2的头节点上配置te-tunnel2归属于slice-2;在AS2内,在te-tunnel3的头节点上配置te-tunnel3归属于slice-1,在te-tunnel4的头节点上配置te-tunnel4归属于slice-2。注意这些专属于某个切片的te-tunnel一般还满足overlay业务的相应流量工程需求(即具有与overlay业务一致的color)。配置域间链路link0可用于所有切片。假设有两个 L3VPN业务:vpn-1、vpn-2,在PE1和PE2上配置将相应的VRF实例vrf1、vrf2分别归属到切片slice-1、slice-2、slice-3,CE1-1和CE1-2是vrf1实例的客户,CE2-1和CE2-2是vrf2实例的客户。如图11所示,包括:
步骤1101,通过BGP-LU建立一条从节点PE1至节点PE2的MPLS-BE切片LSP。为此,在节点PE2上,将其loopback路由(如prefix-PE2)配置为切片FEC,节点PE2将为prefix-PE2分配入标签label-pe2,同时通过BGP向上游邻居ASBR2通告prefix-PE2,随BGP Prefix-SID属性携带Slice-Label-Index TLV。节点PE2上将创建ILM表项,标签操作为POP,表项中打上预设切片标志,并表明作为egress节点角色。
步骤1102,节点ASBR2收到节点PE2的上述prefix-PE2路由通告后,重新为prefix-PE2分配入标签label-asbr2,同时继续通过BGP向上游邻居ASBR1通告。节点ASBR2上将创建ILM表项,该ILM表项中包含预设切片标志,标签操作为SWAP即作为transit节点角色,远端下一跳为节点PE2,出标签为label-pe2。
步骤1103,节点ASBR1收到节点ASBR2发送的上述prefix-PE2路由通告后,重新为prefix-PE2分配入标签label-asbr1,同时继续通过BGP向上游邻居PE1通告。节点ASBR1上将创建ILM表项,该ILM表项中包含预设切片标志,标签操作为SWAP即作为transit节点角色,直连下一跳为节点ASBR2,出接口为link0,出标签为label-asbr2。
步骤1104,节点PE1收到节点ASBR1发送的上述prefix-PE2路由通告后,创建FTN表项,该FTN表项中包含预设切片标志,作为ingress节点角色,远端下一跳为节点ASBR1,出标签为label-asbr1。
步骤1105,节点PE1通过BGP从节点PE2学习到vpn-1、vpn-2业务相关的VPN路由,假设随路由通告时携带的VPN标签分别为vpn-label1、vpn-label2,这些VPN路由都将会根据BGP下一跳(PE2)迭代到上述通过BGP-LU创建的MPLS-BE切片LSP,即PE1上创建的FTN表项。由于该FTN表项中含有预设切片标志,所以报文在封装时支持携带VPN业 务标识,VPN路由在迭代公网MPLS LSP时可以提供其overlay业务标识信息,用于映射到特定的underlay网络资源。比如节点PE1上针对从CE1-1向CE1-2转发的报文封装的标签栈为:
外层标签:te-tunnel1的标签
次外层标签:label-asbr1
overlay业务标识:slice-id=1,color=100
内层标签:vpn-label1
节点PE1在将报文向节点ASBR1转发时,使用<slice-id=1,color=100>专属的underlay网络资源,比如本实施例中专属于slice-1的te-tunnel1资源。即VPN路由在迭代至公网BGP-LU路由时,根据overlay业务标识信息使得BGP-LU继续迭代至属于相应切片的外层隧道te-tunnel1。
而节点PE1上针对从CE2-1向CE2-2转发的报文封装的标签栈为:
外层标签:te-tunnel2的标签
次外层标签:label-asbr1
overlay业务标识:slice-id=2,color=200
内层标签:vpn-label2
节点PE1在将报文向节点ASBR1转发时,使用<slice-id=2,color=200>专属的underlay网络资源,比如本实施例中专属于slice-2的te-tunnel2资源。即VPN路由在迭代至公网BGP-LU路由时,根据overlay业务标识信息使得BGP-LU继续迭代至属于相应切片的外层隧道te-tunnel2。
步骤1106,针对上述从CE1-1向CE1-2转发的报文,节点ASBR1收到报文后,te-tunnel1的隧道标签终结,根据顶层标签label-asbr1命中ILM表项,由于命中的ILM表项中有预设切片标志,所以节点ASBR1知道报文中label-asbr1的后面紧跟的是32比特的overlay业务标识<slice-id=1,color=100>,于是节点ASBR1根据命中的ILM表项中的标签操作类型SWAP,将标签label-asbr1交换成label-asbr2后向节点ASBR2转发,转发 时报文中的overlay业务标识信息不会弹出,转发时将会使用<slice-id=1,color=100>专属的underlay网络资源,比如本实施例中多业务共享的link0接口及其队列等资源。
步骤1107,节点ASBR2收到报文后,根据顶层标签label-asbr2命中ILM表项,由于命中的ILM表项中有预设切片标志,所以节点ASBR2知道报文中label-asbr2的后面紧跟的是32比特的overlay业务标识信息<slice-id=1,color=100>,于是节点ASBR2根据ILM表项中的标签操作类型SWAP,将标签label-asbr2交换成label-pe2后向PE2转发,转发时报文中的overlay业务标识信息不会弹出,转发时将会使用<slice-id=1,color=100>专属的underlay网络资源,比如本实施例中专属于slice-1的te-tunnel3资源,即BGP-LU路由根据overlay业务标识信息迭代至属于相应切片的外层隧道te-tunnel3。
步骤1108,节点PE2收到报文后,te-tunnel3的隧道标签终结,根据顶层标签label-pe2命中ILM表项,由于命中的ILM表项中有预设切片标志,所以节点PE2知道报文中label-pe2的后面紧跟的是32比特的overlay业务标识信息<slice-id=1,color=100>,于是节点PE2根据命中的ILM表项中的标签操作类型POP,将标签label-pe2以及overlay业务标识弹出,然后继续根据vpn-label1以及私网IP载荷查表向CE1-2转发,此时转发时仍可使用<slice-id=1,color=100>确定面向CE1-2私网客户侧的网络资源(如队列资源等)。
类似的,针对上述从CE2-1向CE2-2转发的报文,节点ASBR1、ASBR2、PE2的处理与以上实现类似,不再赘述。
需要说明的是,在其他实施例中,本实施例中的各te-tunnel可以使用SR policy(策略)替代。
具体实施例五
实际上,如前文所述,MPLS-TE LSP也可以升级为MPLS-TE LSP with slice-capability。
以传统的RSVP-TE协议为例,可以扩展RFC3209新定义RSVP slice-path消息与slice-reserve消息,与已有RSVP path消息和reserve消息的使用方法完全类似,只不过表明所创建的LSP是一条切片LSP。可以在RSVP-TE LSP的头节点上配置该LSP为切片LSP,则头节点将沿TE路径向尾节点发送RSVP slice-path消息,尾节点沿反方向TE路径回复RSVP slice-reserve消息,建立起一条RSVP-TE切片LSP。RSVP-TE切片LSP的转发行为与前述实施例中所述的MPLS-BE切片LSP类似,在报文转发沿RSVP-TE切片LSP转发时,报文中RSVP-TE LSP的标签之后紧跟的是overlay业务标识信息。具体步骤不再赘述。
以SR-TE tunnel(或SR policy)为例,可以在SR-TE tunnel的头节点上配置该SR-TE tunnel为具有切片能力的tunnel。SR-TE本身没有类似于RSVP-TE的协议过程,它的转发信息一般是由多个prefix-sid(或adjacency-sid对应的标签组成的标签栈,如前所述ISIS的协议扩展,我们新定义了Slice-Prefix-SID Sub-TLV替代现有的Prefix-SID Sub-TLV,类似的,我们也可以新定义Slice-Adj-SID sub-TLV/Slice-LAN-Adj-SID sub-TLV来替代Adj-SID sub-TLV/LAN-Adj-SID sub-TLV,那么一条SR-TE切片LSP的转发信息将是由多个slice prefix-sid(prefix-segment-identifier,前缀分段标识)或slice adjacency-sid(前缀邻接分段标识)对应的标签组成的标签栈,在报文沿SR-TE切片LSP转发时,每层slice prefix-sid或slice adjacency-sid对应的切片标签之后都紧跟overlay业务标识信息,每层切片标签都对应了一条SR-BE切片LSP,其转发行为与前述实施例中所述的MPLS-BE切片LSP是完全类似的。
比如,与具体实施例二类似,按照图5所示的网络,假设从R1上建立一条至R3的具有切片能力的SR-TE tunnel,其SID(Segment Identifier,分段标识)List(列表)为{Node-SID(for R2),Adjacency-SID(for R2-R3),Node-SID(for R3)},其中包含的Node-SID与Adjacency-SID都是具有切片能力的SID,这样的SID list会根据SRGB信息翻译成标签栈,假设为 {label2(for R2),label23(for R2-R3),label3(for R3)}。节点R1通过BGP从R3学习到vpn-1、vpn-2、vpn-3业务相关的VPN路由,假设随路由通告时携带的VPN标签分别为vpn-label1、vpn-label2、vpn-label3,这些VPN路由都有流量工程路径转发的需求(比如vpn-1业务相关的VPN路由具有color=100,vpn-2业务相关的VPN路由具有color=200,vpn-3业务相关的VPN路由具有color=300),将会根据BGP下一跳(R3)和相应的隧道策略迭代到上述SR-TE tunnel,由于该SR-TE tunnel表项中含有预设切片标志,所以报文在封装时支持携带VPN业务的overlay业务标识信息,VPN路由在迭代公网MPLS LSP时可以提供其overlay业务标识信息,用于映射到特定的underlay网络资源。比如节点R1上针对从CE1-1向CE1-2转发的报文封装的标签栈为:
外层标签:label2(for R2)
overlay业务标识:slice-id=1,color=100
外层标签:label23(for R2-R3)
overlay业务标识:slice-id=1,color=100
外层标签:label3(for R3)
overlay业务标识:slice-id=1,color=100
内层标签:vpn-label1
节点R1在将报文向节点R2转发时,将会使用<slice-id=1,color=100>专属的underlay网络资源,比如本实施例中专属于slice-1的port1.sub-if-1子接口及其队列等资源。此时一种可行的队列调度实现方案可以是使用color作为队列调度因子在port1.sub-if-1子接口的局部队列资源中选择将报文入驻哪个队列,或者其它方案。
节点R2收到报文后,根据顶层标签label2命中ILM表项,由于命中的ILM表项中有预设切片标志,所以节点R2知道报文中label2的后面紧跟的是32比特的overlay业务标识信息<slice-id=1,color=100>,于是节点R2根据所命中的ILM表项中的标签操作类型POP,将标签label2以及紧 随其后的overlay业务标识信息弹出。然后继续根据label23查表命中ILM表项,同样由于命中的ILM表项中有预设切片标志,所以节点R2知道报文中label23的后面紧跟的是32比特的overlay业务标识信息<slice-id=1,color=100>,于是节点R2根据所命中的ILM表项中的标签操作类型SWAP(此时没有出标签可交换),将标签label23以及紧随其后的overlay业务标识信息移除后向节点R3转发,转发时将会使用<slice-id=1,color=100>专属的underlay网络资源,比如本实施例中的port3.sub-if-1子接口及其队列等资源。报文封装的标签栈为:
外层标签:label3(for R3)
overlay业务标识:slice-id=1,color=100
内层标签:vpn-label1
节点R3收到报文后,根据顶层标签label3命中ILM表项,由于命中的ILM表项中有预设切片标志,所以节点R3知道报文中label3的后面紧跟的是32比特的overlay业务标识<slice-id=1,color=100>,于是节点R3根据命中的ILM表项中的标签操作类型POP,将标签label3以及overlay业务标识信息弹出,然后继续根据vpn-label1以及私网IP载荷查表向CE1-2转发,此时转发时仍可使用<slice-id=1,color=100>确定面向CE1-2私网客户侧的网络资源(如队列资源等)。需要说明的是,也可以不使用<slice-id=1,color=100>对应的underlay网络资源转发所述报文。
需要说明的是,在另一实施例中,也可以只在标签栈的栈底携带overlay业务标识,即报文封装的标签栈为:
外层标签:label2(for R2)
外层标签:label23(for R2-R3)
外层标签:label3(for R3)
内层标签:vpn-label1
overlay业务标识:slice-id=1,color=100。
该封装方式下,不需携带多个相同的overlay业务标识。
具体实施例六
实际上,在IPv6转发平面也可应用本申请提供的方案,draft-bashandy-isis-srv6-extensions-03、draft-ietf-6man-segment-routing-header-14与draft-filsfils-spring-srv6-network-programming-05描述了如何将SR技术应用于IPv6转发平面,简称为SRv6。在SRv6中定义了SRH(Segment Routing Header,分段路由扩展头)用于封装Segment List(分段列表),主要的Segment类型仍然是Node Segment(节点分段)与Adjacency Segment(邻接分段)。SRH中封装的Segment List可以是由128比特IPv6地址组成的列表,也可以是由32比特SID索引组成的列表,甚至还可以是由32比特MPLS Label组成的列表等。不管是哪种情况,报文在沿Segment List逐段的转发时,需要逐个从SRH中获取下一个segment,如果是Node Segment则转换成相应的IPv6地址拷贝到IPv6header中的目的IP地址字段,按最短路径转发至下一个Segment Node(分段节点);如果是Adjacency Segment则继续从SRH中获取下一个segment,向Adjacency Segment对应的链路转发。
与SR-MPLS的TE tunnel(或SR policy)类似的是,SRv6的TE tunnel(或SRv6 policy)也可以配置为具有切片能力,迭代到SRv6TE tunnel的VPN业务的报文在转发时,相应的overlay业务标识信息可以封装在SRH中,这可以在SRH中新扩展一种sub-TLV用于存放overlay业务标识信息。在此基础上:1)为了让Node Segment的在两相邻Segment Node之间(它们之间的节点可能是不具备SRv6能力的)的最短路径转发支持切片能力,可以引入一个新的路由扩展头(Routing Extension Header),其中包含了overlay业务标识信息(拷贝自SRH中存放的overlay业务标识信息),用于指示报文在两相邻Segment Node之间按照特定切片的转发资源进行最短路径转发,该路由扩展头可以紧随IPv6头,当然也可以 位于其他位置;2)对于Adjacency Segment的转发支持切片能力,可以直接根据SRH中存放的overlay业务标识信息使用特定切片的转发资源向相应的链路转发。具体转发过程不再赘述。当然,对于Adjacency Segment,也可以根据新的路由扩展头中携带的overlay业务标识信息使用特定切片的转发资源向相应的链路转发。
需要说明的是,在另一实施例中,可以只在路由扩展头中携带overlay业务标识信息,不在SRH中携带overlay业务标识信息。
