以下对本公开具体实施例进行进一步的详细说明。
参见图1,图1是本公开实施例提供的一种网络自动化编排管理方法的流程图,用于网络功能虚拟化编排器(network function virtualization orchestrator,NFVO),如图1所示,所述网络自动化编排管理方法包括以下步骤:
步骤101、解析网元的与网元类型对应的网络服务描述NSD文件,确定所述网元的组网关系和网络配置信息。
网络服务描述(Network Service Description,NSD)文件与网元的网元类型对应,NFVO通过解析网元的与网元类型对应的NSD文件,可确定网元的组网关系和网络配置信息,其中,组网关系可包括网络、业务链路等等,网络配置信息包括用于软件定义网络(Software Defined Network,SDN)控制器配置所述网元的网络参数。
NSD文件可包括一个或多个网元信息,NFVO在读取并解析NSD文件确定网元需求后,NSD中会生成虚拟路由器(即vRouter)的配置需求,如vRouter下所挂网元信息、需要配置的网元负载分担路由信息、网元和网关之间动态路由配置信息等;同时NSD文件中会生成vRouter对外部网络路由器的动态路由配置需求、用户路由配置需求等。
步骤102、根据所述组网关系创建网络实例。
具体的,NFVO可基于NSD文件通过虚拟基础设施管理器(Virtualized  Infrastructure Manager,VIM)创建网络实例。
步骤103、发送所述网络配置信息到SDN控制器,使得SDN控制器可根据网络配置信息来配置网元的网络参数。
图1a所示为本申请提供的虚拟化技术架构,包括SDN控制器,虚拟基础设施管理器(Virtualized Infrastructure Manager,VIM)为NFV和SDN融合的关键组件,VIM北行对接NFV管理编排系统MANO,VIM南向对接SDN控制器,由SDN控制器纳管出口路由器等其他网络设备,进行网元网络配置和转发控制。
图1a中,NFVO解析NSD文件,确定所述网元的组网关系和网络配置信息,NFVO可基于所述NSD文件在VIM上创建网络实例,同时,NFVO将网络配置信息发送给VIM,由VIM通过OpenStack原生及扩展接口传给SDN控制器,使得SDN控制器可根据网络配置信息来配置网元的网络参数。
本实施例中,实现了NFV架构和SDN架构两个独立架构的联动。通过虚拟化技术(NFV),电信网元功能以软件形式承载在统一资源池上形成电信云,而SDN技术则能通过SDN控制器实现网络路由的集中计算,并下发至网元,从而实现网络的智能调度。二者相互结合,相互补充,更大程度的实现了NFV网元网络功能软件化、灵活化、自动化。
同时,本实施例中,NFVO解析网元的与网元类型对应的网络服务描述NSD文件,确定所述网元的组网关系和网络配置信息;根据所述组网关系创建网络实例;发送所述网络配置信息到SDN控制器,网络配置信息包括用于SDN控制器配置所述网元的网络参数。通过预先配置不同类型的网元需要建立的网络关系及网络配置信息,并在解析确定这些网络关系及网络配置信息之后,通过SDN控制器进行自动的配置,实现了NFV和SDN的融合下的网元网络参数的高效配置。
在本申请一个实施例中,所述网络实例包括网元间网络、子网和虚拟路由器中的至少一个。
NFVO可基于所述NSD文件在VIM上创建网络实例,具体的,可包括如下步骤:

d.用Openstck社区接口PUT/v2.0/routers/{router_id}/add_router_interface,将Subnet加入到Router。
根据NSD文件中对vRouter的配置需求,在c步骤创建vRouter,在c步骤对vRouter进行配置,另外,还可根据NSD文件中标识的不同的网元需求进行不同的配置操作(如下文介绍)来对vRouter进行配置。
配置信息包括但不限于在vRouter下挂载网元网络、配置网元负载分担路由信息、配置网元和网关之间动态路由配置信息等;同时配置外部网络路由器的动态路由、配置用户路由等。
在本申请一个实施例中,所述发送所述网络配置信息到SDN控制器具体为:
通过VIM发送所述网络配置信息到所述SDN控制器。
NFVO将网络配置信息发送给虚拟基础设施管理器(Virtualized Infrastructure Manager,VIM),由VIM通过OpenStack原生及扩展接口传给SDN,使得SDN控制器可根据网络配置信息来配置网元的网络参数。
在本申请一个实施例中,在步骤101、解析网元的网络服务描述NSD文件,获取所述网元的组网关系和网络配置信息之前,还包括:

以下对本申请提供的网络自动化编排管理方法的详细过程进行举例说明。图3为本申请一实施例提供的网络自动化编排管理方法的流程图,如图3所示,网络自动化编排管理方法的步骤如下:
步骤11、NFVO接收上载的VNF网元包;
步骤12、NFVO从VNF包中读取网元南北向通信需求(包括网元负载分担路由信息、链路检测需求、网元和网关之间动态路由配置需求、用户路由配置需求、网元是否共用vRouter等),进行NSD设计,生成网络服务描述文件NSD(NSD中包含一个或多个网元信息,在读取并解析网元需求后,NSD中会生成vRouter的配置需求,比如vRouter下所挂网元信息、需要配置的网元负载分担路由信息、网元和网关之间动态路由配置信息等;同时生成vRouter对外部网络路由器的动态路由配置需求、用户路由配置需求等)。
步骤13、根据选择的NSD并发起网络服务实例化流程;
步骤14、NFVO解析网络服务描述文件NSD,NSD中包含了本公开实施例增加的网元南北向路由信息、链路检测需求、用户路由配置需求等等;
步骤15、NFVO通过到VIM创建外部网络实例,网络实例包含网元间网络及子网、vrouter等;本步骤可包含如下多步:
使用Openstack社区接口Post/v2.0/subnets创建Network;
使用Openstack社区接口Post/v2.0/subnets创建Subnet;
使用VIM增强接口Post/v2.0/routers,PUT/v2.0/routers/{router_id}创建Router,可选配置原生静态路由;
使用Openstck社区接口PUT/v2.0/routers/{router_id}/add_router_interface,将Subnet加入到Router。
步骤16、NFVO下发网络配置参数给VIM,由VIM通过OpenStack原生及扩展接口传给SDN控制器;本步骤可根据NSD中标识的不同的网元需求进行不同的配置操作。
例如,如果网元需配置静态路由(例如需配置UE地址静态路由),则在Router上增量下发扩展静态路由,接口中需包含路由类型、目的地址、下一跳地址、是否启用链路检测等;
如果网元采用了BGP动态路由协议,则在Router上分别下发Router和业务网元BGP对等体配置以及和外部PE设备的对等体配置,接口中需包含租户、本端子网信息、本端AS号、对端IP地址信息、对端AS号、是否路由抑制等;
如果网元间存在跨VPC互访需求,则创建跨Router间的VPC Connecntion互联,接口中需包含租户、本端网段信息、对端网段信息等。
步骤17、NFVO请求VNFM创建网元,VNFM解析网元描述文件VNFD,进行网元资源实例化。网元资源实例化完成后,VNFM将已配置好的虚拟机端口IP地址信息发送给NFVO。
步骤18、NFVO根据VNFM上报的IP地址信息,生成网元回程静态路由,并下发给VIM,由VIM下发给SDN控制器。
步骤19、NFVO返回网络服务创建完成。
针对步骤12中提到的网络服务描述文件NSD,本申请还提出了一种网元网络通用模型及描述方式。如表1所示,网元可包含两类接口,主机型接口和路由型接口,两类接口分别对应不同的网络通用模型和描述方式。

SDN网关和VNF间的静态路由的描述需包含VNF外部网络对应的IP地址、是否负载分担。
针对步骤16,本申请提出了一种回程静态路由的配置方式:在原有资源上报接口中,增加端口信息。端口信息包含端口IP地址、端口所在网元网络、端口实例的UUID。通过上报的端口信息中端口所在网元网络字段,及NSD中SDN网关和VNF间的静态路由的描述,来确定该端口是否进行负载分担及负载分担所对应的IP地址。如果需要配置负载分担,再通过接口上报的端口IP地址来确定端口的回程静态路由。
