Description

网络操作方法、装置、设备和存储介质
本申请要求在2019年11月29日提交中国专利局、申请号为201911205628.4的中国专利申请的优先权，该申请的全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域，例如涉及一种网络操作方法、装置、设备和存储介质。
背景技术
网络功能虚拟化(Network Functions Virtualization，NFV)是一种通过使用通用硬件以及虚拟化技术来承载其他功能的软件处理技术，主要用于降低网络设备的成本。NFV通过软硬件解耦及功能抽象，可以使网络设备功能不再依赖于专用硬件，使资源可以充分、灵活地共享，实现新业务的快速开发和部署，并基于实际业务需求进行自动部署、弹性伸缩、故障隔离和自愈等。
如图1所示，欧洲电信标准协会(European Telecommunications Standards Institute，ETSI)定义的NFV系统架构主要包含：业务运营支撑系统和管理支撑平台(Operation-Support System/Business Support System，OSS/BSS)、虚拟网络功能(Virtualized Network Function，VNF)、网络功能虚拟化基础设施(Network Functions Virtualization Infrastructure，NFVI)和网络功能虚拟化管理和编排系统(VNF-Management and Orchestration，NFV-MANO)。其中，NFVI主要负责将计算、存储以及网络等硬件资源全面虚拟化、并映射成虚拟资源；VNF则是运行在NFVI上，使用经过NFVI虚拟化后的虚拟资源，并利用软件来实现各种传统的物理网络功能；NFV-MANO负责管理和编排VNF和VNFI之间的关系、VNF和VNF之间的关系，以及VNF和其他物理网络功能(Physical Network Functions，PNF)之间的关系。
NFV-MANO包含：虚拟化基础设置管理器(Virtualized Infrastructure Manager，VIM)、虚拟网络功能管理器(Virtualized Network Function Manager，VNFM)和网络虚拟化功能编排器(Network Function Virtualization Orchestrator，NFVO)。VIM用于负责控制和管理虚拟化资源，VNFM用于负责VNF的生命周期管理，NFVO用于负责对虚拟基础设施的编排和管理，以及对网络服务(Network Service，NS)的生命周期管理。
在非虚拟化应用中，交换机(switch)的端口可分为两类：接入端口(access port)和级联端口(trunk port)。如图2所示，access port只允许属于一个虚拟 局域网(Virtual Local Area Network，VLAN)的报文通过，在使用access port时，如果两个交换机之间需要交互报文，那么需要在两台交换机上为不同的VLAN报文分配不同的端口分别连接，但交换机的端口是有限的，这种互联方式会浪费有限的交换机端口；而trunk port可以允许多个VLAN报文通过，在使用trunk port时，每个交换机只需要分配一个端口用于级联，即可实现不同VLAN报文的传输，从而节省交换机的端口。
在虚拟化应用中，NFVI的虚拟化交换机(vSwitch)已经可以实现支持trunk模式的端口。如图3所示，在不支持trunk模式之前，虚拟机要接入多个网络时，需要配置多个虚拟网卡(virtual Network Interface Card，vNIC)以分别接入不同的网络，同时，增、删接入的网络也只能通过增、删虚拟网卡的方式实现。但是变更虚拟机的虚拟网卡，会触发虚拟机本身的重新实例化过程，以及运行的业务软件重启，进而导致VNF功能的中断。而支持trunk模式后，只需为虚拟机配置一个虚拟网卡，连接虚拟交换机的trunk port后，经过虚拟交换机不同的access port可以接入不同的网络，从而节省为虚拟机配置虚拟网卡的数目，以及虚拟机实例化成功后运行期间可动态变更连接网络的能力。
但是，在ETSI NFV规范中只定义了虚拟机对外连接点(connection point，CP)是否支持工作在trunk模式，即端口是否支持多个虚拟局域网(Virtual Local Area Network，VLAN)报文的传输。而对于ETSI NFV规范中的其他问题还没有讨论。

具体实施方式
下文中将结合附图对本申请的实施例进行说明。
另外，在本申请实施例中，“可选地”或者“示例性地”等词用于表示作例子、例证或说明。
为了理解本申请实施例所提供的方案，在此对本申请实施例中可能涉及到的相关概念作解释和说明，例如：
虚拟机提供动态变更接入网络的能力：这一能力不等同于虚拟机所连接的虚拟交换机提供的动态创建、删除access port的能力，该能力表示在虚拟机上运行的业务软件需要处理动态变化的来自不同网络的数据流，即要求虚拟机上运行的业务软件要具备与接入网络匹配的数据处理能力。否则，虚拟化环境中利用trunk模式实现动态变更接入网络的功能实现是不完整的。
基于上述概念，图4为一实施例提供的一种网络操作方法的流程示意图，该方法可以应用于虚拟化环境中支持trunk模式的场景下，如图4所示，该方法可以包括：
S401、管理节点接收虚拟网络功能信息。
在本实施例中，虚拟网络功能信息中可以携带有至少一个网络动态变更标记。如图5所示，该网络动态变更标记可以在trunk模式下，显式表明业务软件当前是否支持处理动态变更网络导致的数据流变化。
示例性地，假设当网络动态变更标记为0，或者，假(False)时，表示业务软件不支持网络变更导致的数据流变化，管理节点不能对接入的网络发起变更；当网络动态变更标记为1，或者，真(True)时，表示业务软件支持网络变更导致的数据流变化，管理节点可以对接入的网络发起变更。
S402、管理节点根据虚拟网络功能信息对第一类型网络进行操作。
上述步骤中的第一类型网络可以为MANO根据ETSI NFV规范中定义的网络属性创建出的网络，其中，该网络属性可以为在VNFD中描述VNF所支持的网络属性的说明(description)及网络服务描述符(Network Service Descriptor，NSD)中描述与VNF实例与其他VNF\PNF互联的网络属性，或者，网络管理节点添加的与虚拟网络功能实例相连的网络的相关参数，例如，网络管理节点中的OSS/BSS在NSD设计阶段添加的与虚拟网络功能实例相连的网络的相关参数。
管理节点在获取到虚拟网络功能信息中携带的至少一个网络动态变更标记后，可以对创建出的第一类型网络进行操作。
上述第一类型网络可以为一个或多个网络，即两个或两个以上根据ETSI NFV规范中定义的网络属性创建出的网络可以统称为第一类型网络。
在本申请实施例中，管理节点接收虚拟网络功能信息后，根据虚拟网络功能信息对第一类型网络进行操作，由于虚拟网络功能信息中携带的至少一个网络动态变更标记可用于指示是否支持动态变更网络，因此，管理节点可以根据虚拟网络功能信息正确的处理第一类型网络的变更需求。
在一种示例中，步骤S401中接收到的虚拟网络功能信息可以携带有至少一个模式标记，该模式标记用于指示是否支持trunk模式。虚拟网络功能信息还可以携带网络连接限制特性参数，其中，该参数可以为access port数目、第一类型网络的类型(例如，虚拟局域网(Virtual Local Area Network，VLAN)、可拓展虚拟局域网(Virtual eXtensible LAN，VXLAN)、通用路由封装协议(Generic Routing Encapsulation，GRE))、接入网络的协议栈结构(例如，介质访问控 制(Medium Access Control，MAC)\网际协议(Internet Protocol，IP)\用户数据报协议(User Datagram Protocol，UDP)、MAC\IP\传输控制协议(Transmission Control Protocol，TCP))。
在一种示例中，上述步骤S402可以为，网络管理节点根据虚拟网络功能信息生成虚拟网络功能实例，并根据虚拟网络功能实例连接第一类型网络，进而，当第一类型网络运行时，网络管理节点根据至少一个网络动态变更标记对虚拟网络功能实例与第一类型网络的连接关系进行操作。
网络管理节点可以包括OSS/BSS和MANO，网络管理节点也可以包括其他单元、模块，本申请实施例在此不做限定。
网络管理节点接收到虚拟网络功能信息后，可以由OSS/BSS将虚拟网络功能信息作为NSD中的一部分进行管理，或者对虚拟网络功能信息独立进行管理。可选地，OSS/BSS可以把获取到的网络连接信息携带在NSD中。进而，OSS/BSS将虚拟网络功能信息上传至MANO中，使MANO根据虚拟网络功能信息实例化出虚拟网络功能实例。
上述OSS/BSS上传虚拟网络功能信息至MANO可以是上传NSD操作的一部分，或者是独立的虚拟网络功能信息管理操作。
实例化的过程可以为MANO创建vSwitch，其中，vSwitch的trunk port与虚拟网络功能实例相连。进而，MANO将虚拟网络功能实例与第一类型网络相连，并由OSS/BSS与MANO记录虚拟网络功能信息中的网络动态变更标记。如需要增加网络，则MANO创建需要的access port与网络相连，所需的access port根据虚拟网络功能信息中的网络连接限制特性参数创建。
可选地，网络管理节点根据至少一个网络动态变更标记对虚拟网络功能实例与第一类型网络的连接关系进行操作，可以为网络管理节点根据至少一个连接模块的网络动态变更标记，对虚拟网络功能实例与第一类型网络的连接关系进行操作。
虚拟网络功能实例与第一类型网络的连接关系可以为虚拟网络功能实例通过连接模块与第一类型网络连接的关系。
该连接模块可以包括VNF模块，和/或，虚拟网络功能组件(Virtualised Network Function Component，VNFC)，和/或，CP，如图5所示，VNF模块可以由一个或多个VNFC组成，一个VNFC可以连接一个或多个连接vSwitch的trunk port的CP。
上述至少一个网络动态变更标记可以添加至ETSI规范中的连接点描述符(Connection Point Descriptor，CPD)中，因此，管理节点至少可以通过该网络 动态变更标记对通过CP连接的虚拟网络功能实例与第一类型网络之间的连接关系进行操作。
在一种示例中，网络管理节点根据至少一个连接模块的网络动态变更标记，对虚拟网络功能实例与第一类型网络的连接关系进行操作可以有以下几种实现方式：
方式一、当连接模块的网络动态变更标记为不支持动态变更网络时，网络管理节点对虚拟网络功能实例与第一类型网络的连接关系不进行变更操作；
方式二、当连接模块的网络动态变更标记为支持动态变更网络时，网络管理节点对虚拟网络功能实例与第一类型网络的连接关系进行变更操作；
方式三、当连接模块的网络动态变更标记为支持动态变更网络，且虚拟网络功能信息满足预设条件时，网络管理节点对虚拟网络功能实例与第一类型网络的连接关系不进行变更操作。
如图6所示，在上述方式一中，假设在运行环境中，VNF模块需要支持连接多个第一类型网络，且虚拟网络功能信息中携带的模式标记为支持trunk模式，即可以通过vSwitch的access port连接第一类型网络，虚拟网络功能实例的网络动态标记为不支持动态变更网络。
那么在第一类型网络运行过程中，网络管理节点接收到虚拟网络功能信息后，对虚拟网络功能实例与第一类型网络的连接关系不进行变更操作，也即网络管理节点拒绝对虚拟网络功能实例与网络1、网络2、……网络n之间的连接关系进行修改。
示例性地，上述对虚拟网络功能实例与第一类型网络的连接关系的变更操作可以为超出了业务软件的支持能力在虚拟网络功能模块中设定的限制。例如，超出了虚拟网络功能模块限制的接入端口数目，或者，变更接入端口连接网络的属性等。
在上述方式二中，网络管理节点对虚拟网络功能实例与第一类型网络的连接关系进行变更操作可以包括以下几种情况：
如图7所示，在一种示例中，假设VNF由三个VNFC组成，分别为VNFC1、VNFC2、VNFC3，与VNFC1连接的第一类型网络为网络e、网络f，与VNFC2连接的第一类型网络为网络c、网络d，与VNFC3连接的第一类型网络为网络a、网络b。其中，针对VNFC1和VNFC2的模式标记为支持trunk模式，针对VNFC3的模式标记为不支持trunk模式，并且，针对VNFC1的网络动态变更标记为支持动态变更标记，针对VNFC2的网络动态变更标记为不支持动态变更标记。即VNFC1和VNFC2可以通过vSwitch的access port分别连接网络e、网络f，以 及网络c、网络d，VNFC3通过多个虚拟网络连接网络a、网络b。
那么，管理节点接收到虚拟网络功能信息后，即可获知VNFC1使用trunk模式，并且支持动态变更网络；VNFC2使用trunk模式，不支持动态变更网络，VNFC3不使用trunk模式。
进而，在上述第一类型网络a～f运行期间，若网络管理节点接收到网络变更请求时，网络管理节点根据虚拟网络功能信息，即可获知只能在支持动态变更网络的VNFC1上进行网络变更操作，即对VNFC1与第一类型网络e、f之间的连接关系进行变更操作。例如，在VNFC1上增加网络g，或者，删除网络e等等。
如图8所示，在另一种示例中，假设在运行环境中，VNF模块需要支持连接多个网络，连接的网络信息是可变的，且虚拟网络功能信息中携带的模式标记为支持trunk模式，即可以通过vSwitch的access port连接第一类型网络，至少一个网络动态标记为支持动态变更网络。
那么在第一类型网络运行期间，若网络管理节点接收到网络变更请求时，则网络管理节点对虚拟网络功能实例与第一类型网络的连接关系进行变更操作。
例如，运维人员根据需要为虚拟网络功能实例增加与网络m的连接需求，那么网络管理节点接收到该网络变更请求后，可以通过其内部的OSS/BSS发起新增网络连接指令，进而由OSS/BSS与MANO相互协作，在虚拟网络功能实例所连接的vSwitch上创建新的access port，并连接到网络m，同时将网络m的相关参数通知到虚拟网络功能实例的业务处理软件中。
上述网络m可以是已经创建好的网络，也可以是专门为虚拟网络实例创建的网络。
或者，运维人员根据需要设计虚拟网络功能实例不再处理网络n上的数据，那么网络管理节点接收到网络变更请求后，可以通过其内部的OSS/BSS发起删除网络连接的指令，进而由OSS/BSS与MANO相互协作，断开虚拟网络功能实例与网络n之间的连接，并在虚拟网络功能模块所连接的vSwitch上删除对应的access port，同时通知虚拟网络功能实例的业务处理软件，网络n已经不在其处理范围内。
如图9所示，在一种示例中，假设在运行环境中，VNF模块需要支持连接多个网络，其中，虚拟网络功能实例1与网络1、网络2连接，虚拟网络功能实例2与网络n、网络m连接，连接的网络信息是可变的，且虚拟网络功能信息中携带的模式标记为支持trunk模式，即可以通过vSwitch的access port连接第一类型网络，至少一个网络动态标记为支持动态变更网络。
那么在第一类型网络运行期间，当网络数据流满足触发条件时，网络管理节点对虚拟网络功能实例与第一类型网络的连接关系进行变更操作。
例如，网络管理节点中的MANO在编排管理过程中监测到网络数据流满足触发条件，需要由虚拟网络功能实例1接管网络n的数据流，那么OSS/BSS与MANO相互协作执行以下过程：断开虚拟网络功能实例2与网络n之间的连接，删除虚拟网络功能实例2的vSwitch下的access port，通知虚拟网络功能实例2的业务处理软件，网络n已经不在其处理范围内，并且在虚拟网络功能实例1所连接的vSwitch上创建新的access port，连接至网络n，同时将网络n的相关参数通知到虚拟网络功能实例1的业务处理软件中，从而完成网络n与虚拟网络功能实例2之间连接关系的变更。
示例性地，在上述过程中，网络数据流满足触发条件可以为虚拟网络功能实例2运行开销过载，需要将数据流分流至运行开销低的虚拟网络功能实例1上，或者，虚拟网络功能实例2运行出现故障，将数据流分流至正常运行的虚拟网络功能实例1上，以保证业务不受影响，或者，虚拟网络功能实例1和虚拟网络功能实例2都处于低负荷运行，管理节点中的动态扩容管理模块判定可以对虚拟网络功能实例2缩容，将虚拟网络功能实例2上的数据流分流至虚拟网络功能实例1上。
上述触发条件仅是示例性的说明，在满足其他触发条件的情况下，通过图9所示的示例过程执行虚拟网络功能实例与第一类型网络的连接关系的变更均属于本申请的保护范围。
如图10所示，在方式三中，假设在运行环境中，VNF模块需要支持连接多个网络，其中，虚拟网络功能实例1与网络1、网络2连接，虚拟网络功能实例2与网络n、网络m连接，连接的网络信息是可变的，且虚拟网络功能信息中携带的模式标记为支持trunk模式，即可以通过vSwitch的access port连接第一类型网络，至少一个网络动态标记为支持动态变更网络。
那么在网络1、网络2、网络n、网络m运行期间，当针对虚拟网络功能实例的网络动态标记为支持动态变更网络，且虚拟网络功能信息满足预设条件时，网络管理节点对虚拟网络功能实例与第一类型网络的连接关系不进行变更操作。
例如，虽然对于虚拟网络功能实例1的网络动态标记为支持动态变更网络，但虚拟网络功能信息被设计为针对虚拟网络功能实例1的信息满足预设条件(比如，虚拟网络功能实例1上连接有高优先级的第一类型网络，或者，高优先级的用户接入与虚拟网络功能实例1连接的第一类型网络等)时，网络管理节点对虚拟网络功能实例1与网络1、网络2之间的连接关系不进行变更操作。
这样，当运维人员发起网络变更请求时，OSS/BSS经过判断，确定对虚拟网络功能实例1与网络1、网络2之间的连接关系不进行变更操作，而只允许对虚拟网络功能实例2与网络n、网络m之间的连接关系进行变更操作，即在MANO编排管理过程中，触发的网络变更只能在虚拟网络功能实例2上进行。例如，通过增、删vSwitch上的access port实现对网络的变更。
上述预设条件仅是示例性的说明，本申请实施例对此并不作限定。
