一种路由通告的方法、路由环路的检测方法及设备
本申请要求于2020年10月28日提交国家知识产权局、申请号为202011176874.4、发明名称为“一种通过BGP SoO属性实现环路检测的方法”的中国专利申请的优先权,以及要求于2021年1月13日提交国家知识产权局、申请号为202110045032.3、发明名称为“一种路由通告的方法、路由环路的检测方法及设备”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信领域,尤其涉及一种路由通告的方法、路由环路的检测方法及设备。
背景技术
为了实现报文在网络设备之间的传输,网络设备之间需要相互发送用于路由通告的路由通告消息。例如,网络设备A可以向网络设备B发送携带有网络设备A的路由信息的路由通告消息。网络设备B在接收到来自网络设备A的路由通告消息之后,可以根据该路由通告消息中的路由信息生成对应网络设备A的路由信息的路由,以根据该路由将报文传输给网络设备A。并且,网络设备B还可以将该路由通告消息发送给其他网络设备(例如网络设备C),以使其他网络设备也能够将报文发给网络设备B。
目前,在一些场景中,网络设备之间在传输路由通告消息的过程中可能会出现路由环路的问题。路由环路会造成报文在多个网络设备之间循环往复而无法到达目的设备,从而影响正常的业务传输需求。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供了一种路由通告的方法、路由环路的检测方法及设备,用于解决网络中的路由环路问题,提高业务报文传输的可靠性。

具体实施方式
在介绍具体的技术方案之前,首先介绍一下本申请实施例涉及到的关键术语。
路由环路:是指路由通告消息由某个网络设备发布之后,经过一个或多个网络设备之后再次回到该网络设备的情况。
由于路由环路问题可能会造成业务中断,严重影响通信质量。目前已有一些技术手段能够解决该路由环路问题,其中一种技术手段应用于包括路由反射器(router reflector,RR)的网络架构中。
参见图1,该图为边界网关协议(Border Gateway Protocol,BGP)的网络架构示意图。该网络架构包括网络设备101、网络设备102、网络设备103、网络设备104和终端设备105。其中,终端设备105与网络设备101连接,网络设备101与网络设备102连接,网络设备102和网络设备103连接,网络设备103与网络设备104连接,网络设备104与网络设备101连接(需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中网络设备之间的连接可以是直接连接,也可以是间接连接)。其中,网络设备102和网络设备104均为路由反射器。
网络设备101生成到达终端设备105的路由的转发信息1,该转发信息1的下一跳为终端设备105,并且,网络设备101向网络设备102发送路由通告消息1,路由通告消息1中携带终端设备105的路由信息。由于网络设备102为路由反射器,则网络设备102在路由通告消息1中携带发起者标识(originator identifier,Originator ID)属性,从而得到路由通告消息2。其中,Originator ID属性的值为发起者标识,用于标识发起路由通告消息1的网络设备,对于图1而言即为网络设备101。也就是说,根据路由通告消息2可以知道该路由通告消息的发起者为网络设备101。然后,网络设备102向网络设备103发送该路由通告消息2,网络设备103在接收到该路由通告消息2之后,确认其中携带的发起者标识与网络设备103的标识不同,根据终端设备105的路由信息生成到达终端设备105的路由的转发信息,该转发信息的下一跳是网络设备102。并且,网络设备103向网络设备104发送该路由通告消息2。网络设备104确定路由通告消息2中已经携带了发起者标识,就不再增加新的发起者标识,继续复用已经携带的发起者标识,并直接向网络设备101发送该路由通告消息2。
由于网络设备101在发送路由通告消息1之前,就已经生成与终端设备105的路由信息对应的路由的转发信息1,该转发信息1的下一跳为终端设备105。若网络设备101在接收到路由通告消息2之后,生成到达终端设备105的路由的转发信息2,该转发信息2的下一跳为网络设备104,并且从转发信息1和转发信息2中选择转发信息2向外发布路由, 那么网络设备103在接收到目的设备为终端设备105的业务报文之后,该业务报文将进入到网络设备103-网络设备102-网络设备101-网络设备104-网络设备103的循环,而无法到达终端设备105,从而造成路由环路问题。
为了解决该问题,基于目前的方案,网络设备101确定该路由通告消息2中的发起者标识与自己的标识相同,则网络设备101将该路由通告消息2丢弃,即不生成到达终端设备105的下一跳为网络设备104的路由,以避免路由环路问题。
然而,上述方案不适用于网络架构中没有路由反射器的场景,或者虽然具有路由反射器但跨网络域的场景,即在跨网络域场景下,采用上述基于Originator ID的方案还是可能会出现路由环路的问题。下面结合一个例子具体介绍跨网络域场景下,基于Originator ID的方案可能会出现的路由环路问题。
参见图2,该图为基于BGP的另外一个网络架构示意图。
图2所示的网络架构包括网络设备201、网络设备202、网络设备203、网络设备204、网络设备205、网络设备206和网络设备207。其中,网络设备201与网络设备202连接,网络设备202分别与网络设备203及网络设备205连接,网络设备203通过网络设备204与网络设备205连接,网络设备203和网络设备205还均与网络设备206连接,网络设备206与网络设备207连接。
其中,网络设备201、网络设备202和网络设备207均为用户边缘(Customer Edge,CE)设备,网络设备202还为路由反射器。网络设备203、网络设备205和网络设备206均为运营商边缘(Provider Edge,PE)设备,网络设备204为运营商(Provider,P)设备。在一种可能的实现方式中,上述CE设备之间以及CE设备和PE设备之间通过外部边界网关协议(External Border Gateway Protocol,eBGP)传输路由通告消息,PE设备之间通过内部边界网关协议(Internal Border Gateway Protocol,iBGP)传输路由通告消息。
网络设备201生成并向网络设备202发送路由通告消息1,网络设备202在接收到该路由通告消息1之后,生成与该路由通告消息1中的路由信息(即到达网络设备201的路由信息)对应的路由(即到达网络设备201的路由)的转发信息1,该转发信息1的下一跳为网络设备201。并且,网络设备202基于其反射路由器的功能,在该路由通告消息1中携带Originator ID属性,得到路由通告消息2,其中,该Originator ID属性的值用于标识网络设备201。网络设备202向网络设备203发送路由通告消息2。由于网络设备203是PE设备,所以网络设备203在接收到路由通告消息2之后,生成对应网络设备201的路由信息的私网路由,并将该私网路由复制到VPNv4路由中。在复制之后,网络设备203根据VPNv4路由生成路由通告消息3,并发往VPNv4网络的网络设备204。需要注意的是,网络设备203向网络设备204发送的路由通告消息3中包括网络设备201的路由信息,但不包括Originator ID属性。因为目前的协议规定,Originator ID属性只能是路由反射器在相同的网络内反射路由时才添加Originator ID属性,也就是说,在私网内部或者VPNv4网络内部传递才能添加Originator ID属性,私网和VPNv4网络之间无法传递Originator ID属性。
当网络设备205接收到网络设备204发送的路由通告消息3之后,根据路由通告消息 3生成到达网络设备201的VPNv4路由,并将该VPNv4路由复制到私网路由中。在复制之后,网络设备205根据私网路由生成路由通告消息4,并通过私网邻居向网络设备202发送该路由通告消息4。
网络设备202在接收到来自网络设备205的路由通告消息4之后,生成与该路由通告消息4的路由信息对应的路由(即到达网络设备201的路由)的转发信息2,该转发信息2的下一跳为网络设备205。也就是说,到达网络设备201的路由具有两条转发信息,即转发信息1和转发信息2。若网络设备202选择转发信息2向外部通告,那么就会形成网络设备202-网络设备203-网络设备204-网络设备205-网络设备202的路由环路。
为了克服上述技术问题,本申请实施例提供一种路由通告的方法、路由环路检测方法及设备,实现对路由环路的检测,避免出现路由环路问题。
本申请实施例提供的路由通告和路由环路检测方法可以应用于图2所示的网络架构中。上述网络设备201至网络设备207可以为路由器(router)、交换机(switch)、具备路由功能的服务器等实体设备,也可以是具备路由或交换机功能的虚拟装置。
下面结合图2和图3对该方法进行详细介绍。
参见图3,该图为本申请实施例提供的路由通告和路由环路检测方法的流程示意图。
该路由通告和路由环路检测方法具体包括如下步骤。
S101:第一网络设备接收第一路由通告消息,第一路由通告消息包括路由信息和第一字段,第一字段包括设备标识。
在本申请实施例中,第一网络设备可以是图2中的网络设备203,即第一网络设备可以是PE设备。
第一网络设备接收第一路由通告消息,该第一路由通告消息可以是BGP update消息。其中第一路由通告消息可以来自路由反射器,该路由反射器可以是具有路由反射器功能的CE设备,例如图2中的网络设备202。
第一路由通告消息中包括路由信息。在接收到第一路由通告消息之后,第一网络设备可以生成对应该路由信息的路由的转发信息。
例如,网络设备203接收来自网络设备202的BGP update消息1,该BGP update消息1携带有网络设备201的路由信息,网络设备202根据网络设备201的路由信息生成到达网络设备201的路由的转发信息。
当第一路由通告消息来自路由反射器,那么第一路由通告消息还可以包括设备标识,第一路由通告消息包括的路由信息来自该设备标识对应的设备。该设备标识可以携带在第一路由通告消息的第一字段中。若第一路由通告消息为BGP update消息,那么该第一字段可以是表示Originator ID属性的字段。
例如,网络设备203接收到的来自网络设备202的BGP update消息1中携带表示Originator ID属性的字段,该表示Originator ID属性的字段中携带网络设备201的设备标识,表示BGP update消息1的路由信息来自网络设备201。其中,网络设备201的设备标识可以是网络设备201的路由器标识(router identifier,router ID)或者网络设备201在网络中的编号等唯一标识该网络设备201的设备标识。
参见图4,该图为表示Originator ID属性的字段的格式示意图。在该图中,用于携带Originator ID属性的字段包括标志位(flags)、类型码(type code)、长度(length)以及值(value)字段。其中,flags字段的值可以为0x80,type code字段的值可以为0x09,length字段的值可以为0x04,value字段的值可以为发起者标识。
S102:第一网络设备根据所述第一路由通告消息生成第二路由通告消息,所述第二路由通告消息包括第二字段,第二字段包括设备标识。
在本申请实施例中,第二路由通告消息可以是BGP update消息。第二路由通告消息中包括第二字段,该第二字段可以为表示SoO属性的字段,该表示SoO属性的字段的值包括上述设备标识。也就是说,第二字段包括的设备标识与第一字段包括的设备标识相同。
作为第一种可能的实现方式,第一网络设备在接收到第一路由通告消息之后,根据第一路由通告消息包括的路由信息生成第二路由通告消息,该第二路由通告消息包括路由信息和第二字段。
例如,网络设备203在接收到BGP update消息1之后,根据其中到达网络设备201的路由信息生成BGP update消息2,该BGP update消息2包括到达网络设备201的路由信息和表示SoO属性的字段,该表示SoO属性的字段的值为网络设备201的router ID。
作为第二种可能的实现方式,第一网络设备在接收到第一路由通告消息之后,第一网络设备可以先生成对应其包含的路由信息的路由,然后根据该路由生成第二路由通告消息。其中,该路由可以是VPNv4路由、互联网协议第四版(Internet Protocol version 4,IPv4)路由或互联网协议第六版(Internet Protocol version 6,IPv6)路由。
例如,网络设备203先根据BGP update消息1生成到达网络设备201的私网路由,然后将该私网路由拷贝到VPNv4路由中,并基于该VPNv4路由生成BGP update消息2。该BGP update消息2中携带表示SoO属性的字段,该表示SoO属性的字段的值为网络设备201的router ID。
作为第三种可能的实现方式,第一网络设备在接收到第一路由通告消息之后,若其中包括第一字段,则将该第一字段删除或将该第一字段的值置为0,并添加第二字段,得到第二路由通告消息。其中,第二字段的值与第一字段的值相同,均为第一路由通告消息中路由信息的来源设备的设备标识。
例如,网络设备203可以将BGP update消息1中表示Originator ID属性的字段删除,即删除网络设备201的router ID,并添加表示SoO属性的字段,该表示SoO属性的字段的值包括网络设备201的router ID,得到BGP update消息2。
在本申请实施例中,该表示SoO属性的字段可以包含在自治系统(autonomous system,AS)特殊扩展团体(specific extended community)属性字段、第四版互联网协议地址(Internet Protocol version 4 address,IPv4 address)特殊扩展团体属性字段或不透明(opaque)扩展团体(extended community)属性字段。
参见图5,该图为包括AS specific extended community属性的字段的格式示意图。在该图中,包括AS specific extended community属性的字段包括扩展团体属性的类型字段、子类型(sub-type)、全球管理者(global administrator)字段以及本地管理者(local administrator) 字段。其中,扩展团体属性的类型字段的值为0x00或0x40,用于表示该扩展团体属性为AS specific extended community属性。sub-type字段的值可以用于指示该属性的其中一个子类型为SoO属性。上述设备标识可以全部携带在global administrator字段中,或者一部分携带在global administrator字段中,另一部分携带在local administrator字段中。
参见图6,该图为包括IPv4 address specific extended community属性的字段的格式示意图。在该图中,包括IPv4 address specific extended community属性的字段包括扩展团体属性的类型字段、sub-type、global administrator字段及其连续(cont.)字段(cont.字段为可选字段)以及local administrator字段。其中,扩展团体属性的类型字段的值为0x01或0x41,用于表示该扩展团体属性为IPv4 address specific extended community属性。sub-type字段的值可以用于指示该属性的其中一个子类型为SoO属性。上述设备标识可以全部携带在global administrator字段中,或者一部分携带在global administrator字段中,另一部分携带在local administrator字段中。
参见图7,该图为包括opaque extended community属性的字段的格式示意图。在该图中,包括opaque extended community属性的字段包括扩展团体属性的类型字段、sub-type、value字段及连续(cont.)字段(cont.字段为可选字段)。其中,扩展团体属性的类型字段的值为0x03或0x43,用于表示该扩展团体属性为opaque extended community属性。sub-type字段的值可以用于指示该属性的其中一个子类型为SoO属性。上述设备标识可以携带在value字段中。
上述携带设备标识的字段的可能的几种实现方式并不构成对本申请实施例技术方案的限定,本领域技术人员可以根据实际情况自行设计。
S103:第一网络设备向第二网络设备发送所述第二路由通告消息。
如前文所提,第一路由通告消息可以来自路由反射器。当第一路由通告消息来自路由反射器时,第二网络设备可以例如是图2中的网络设备205或网络设备206中的任意一个网络设备,即第二网络设备可以是PE设备。
S104:第二网络设备接收第二路由通告消息。
S105:第二网络设备判断第二路由通告消息中第二字段的值是否为第二网络设备的设备标识,若是,则确认出现路由环路,并执行S106;若否,则执行S107。
在本申请实施例中,如果第二网络设备判断出第二路由通告消息中第二字段的值为第二网络设备的设备标识,则出现路由环路;如果第二路由通告消息中第二字段的值不为第二网络设备的设备标识,则说明没有出现路由环路。
S106:响应于确定出现路由环路,第二网络设备丢弃所述第二路由通告消息,或者,将根据所述第二路由通告消息得到的转发信息置为无效或降低所述转发信息的优先级。
在出现路由环路的情况下,第二网络设备对第二路由通告消息的处理可以有两种可能的实现方式:
作为第一种可能的实现方式,若第二网络设备没有根据第二路由通告消息中的路由信息生成对应的转发信息时,第二网络设备可以直接丢弃该第二路由通告消息。
作为第二种可能的实现方式,若第二网络设备已经根据第二路由通告消息中的路由信 息生成对应的转发信息时,第二网络设备可以将该转发信息置为无效或降低该转发信息的优先级,其目的在于,不根据该转发信息转发业务报文,避免业务报文进入转发循环。
当然,上述两种可能的实现方式并不构成对本申请实施例提供的技术方案的限定,本领域技术人员可以根据实际情况自行设计。
S107:第二网络设备发送第二路由通告消息。
在没有出现路由环路的情况下,第二网络设备可以向下一跳设备发送第二路由通告消息。
结合图2,在网络设备202为路由反射器的情况下,当网络设备205接收到来自网络设备203的BGP update消息2时,该BGP update消息2中表示SoO属性的字段的值为网络设备201的router ID,而不是网络设备205的router ID,所以网络设备205确认没有出现路由环路。然后,网络设备205可以根据BGP update消息2生成BGP update消息3,BGP update消息3中不包括表示SoO属性的字段,并基于eBGP向网络设备202发送该BGP update消息3。由于网络设备202为路由反射器,因此,网络设备202在该BGP update消息3中添加表示Originator ID属性的字段,该字段的值为网络设备205的router ID,得到BGP update消息4,并向网络设备203发送该BGP update消息4。网络设备203接收到该BGP update消息4之后,根据该BGP update消息4生成BGP update消息5,并向网络设备205发送该BGP update消息5。其中,该BGP update消息5包括表示SoO属性的值,该表示SoO属性的值为网络设备205的router ID。那么,当网络设备205接收到BGP update消息5之后,确认该BGP update消息5中表示SoO属性的值为自己的router ID,网络设备205可以将该BGP update消息5丢弃或者将根据BGP update消息5得到的转发信息置为无效或降低该转发信息的优先级,从而避免形成网络设备205-网络设备204-网络设备203-网络设备202-网络设备205的路由环路以及业务报文在该路由环路中形成转发循环。
此外,在一些场景下,可以允许第二网络设备出现一定次数的路由环路。即,第二网络设备在确定出现路由环路次数超过特定阈值时,丢弃第二路由通告消息,或者,将根据第二路由通告消息得到的转发信息置为无效或降低该转发信息的优先级。具体的,第二网络设备可以利用计数器统计出现路由环路的次数,即每出现一次路由环路,就将计数器的值加1。当该计数器的值达到特定阈值,则丢弃计数器达到特定阈值时的路由通告消息,或者将根据该路由通告消息得到的转发信息置为无效或降低该转发信息的优先级。
作为一种可能的实现方式,第一网络设备可以以路由为单位统计该路由出现路由环路的次数。例如,网络设备205统计到达网络设备201的路由出现路由环路的次数。如果计数器的值达到特定阈值,则丢弃最近一次接收到的对应到达网络设备201的路由的路由通告消息,或者将该路由通告消息对应的转发信息置为无效或降低该转发信息的优先级。
作为另一种可能的实现方式,第一网络设备可以以转发信息为单位统计出现路由环路的次数。例如,网络设备205统计到达网络设备201的路由的某个转发信息出现路由环路的次数。如果计数器的值达到特定阈值,则丢弃最近一次接收到的对应该转发信息的路由通告消息,或者将该转发信息置为无效或降低该转发信息的优先级。
上述可能的实现方式并不构成对本申请实施例技术方案的限定,本领域技术人员可以 根据实际情况自行设计。
综上所述,在第一路由通告消息因为某些原因(例如跨网络)而无法到达第二网络设备的情况下,第一网络设备根据第一路由通告消息生成能够发往第二网络设备的第二路由通告消息,其中第二路由通告消息的第二字段携带第一路由通告消息中第一字段的值,以使第二网络设备能够根据第二字段的值是否为自己的设备标识而判断是否出现路由环路,从而实现对路由环路的检测,提高业务报文传输的可靠性。
下面结合图2和图8对跨网络域场景下克服路由环路问题的路由环路检测方法进行介绍。其中,图8为该路由通告和路由环路检测方法的流程示意图。该方法具体包括如下步骤:
S201:网络设备201基于eBGP向网络设备202发送BGP update消息1,该BGP update消息1中携带有网络设备201的路由信息。
S202:网络设备202在接收到BGP update消息1之后,在BGP update消息1中添加表示Originator ID属性的字段,得到BGP update消息2,其中,该表示Originator ID属性的字段的值为网络设备201的router ID。
如前文所提,网络设备202为路由反射器。
S203:网络设备202基于eBGP向网络设备203发送BGP update消息2。
S204:网络设备203接收BGP update消息2,生成与网络设备201的路由信息对应的私网路由的转发信息1,将该私网路由的转发信息1拷贝到VPNv4路由表中,并根据VPNv4路由表中与网络设备201的路由信息对应的转发信息1’生成BGP update消息3,BGP update消息3中包括表示SoO属性的字段,该表示SoO属性的字段的值为网络设备201的router ID。
其中,到达网络设备201的私网路由的转发信息1可以包括Originator ID属性,该Originator ID属性的值包括网络设备201的router ID。拷贝到VPNv4路由表中的转发信息也可以包括该网络设备201的router ID。
S205:网络设备203基于iBGP向网络设备204发送BGP update消息3。
在本申请实施例中,网络设备203与网络设备204可以互为BGP邻居。
S206:网络设备204在接收到BGP update消息3之后,基于iBGP向网络设备205发送BGP update消息3。
S207:网络设备205在接收到BGP update消息3之后,判断BGP update消息3中SoO属性的值是否为自己的router ID。
由于BGP update消息3中的SoO属性的值为网络设备201的router ID,所以网络设备205的判断结果为否,即未出现路由环路。
S208:基于判断结果为否,网络设备205生成与BGP update消息3中携带的网络设备201的路由信息对应的VPNv4的路由的转发信息2,并将该VPNv4的路由的转发信息2拷贝到私网路由表中,以及根据私网路由表中与网络设备201的路由信息对应的转发信息2’生成BGP update消息4,BGP update消息4中包括网络设备201的路由信息。
S209:网络设备205基于eBGP向网络设备202发送BGP update消息4。
S210:网络设备202在接收到BGP update消息4后,在BGP update消息4中添加表示Originator ID属性的字段,得到BGP update消息5,其中,该表示Originator ID属性的字段的值为网络设备205的router ID。
S211:网络设备202基于eBGP向网络设备203发送BGP update消息5。
S212:网络设备203在接收到BGP update消息5之后,根据BGP update消息5生成BGP update消息6,BGP update消息6中SoO属性的值为网络设备205的router ID。
可选的,网络设备203在接收到BGP update消息5之后,可以将到达网络设备201的私网路由的转发信息1和VPNv4路由表的转发信息1’中的网络设备201的router ID替换为网络设备205的router ID。因而,网络设备203可以基于更新之后的VPNv4路由表的转发信息1’生成BGP update消息6。
S213:网络设备203基于iBGP向网络设备204发送BGP update消息6。
S214:网络设备204在接收到BGP update消息6之后,基于iBGP向网络设备205发送BGP update消息6。
S215:网络设备205在接收到BGP update消息6之后,判断SoO属性的值是否为自己的router ID。
由于BGP update消息6中的SoO属性的值为网络设备205的router ID,所以网络设备204的判断结果为是。
S216:基于判断结果为是,网络设备205丢弃BGP update消息6。
由于BGP update消息5中的SoO属性的值为网络设备205的router ID,所以网络设备205可以确认自己发出去的BGP update消息又回到了自己,所以为了避免形成路由环路,网络设备205将BGP update消息5丢弃,这样报文就不会沿着网络设备203-网络设备202-网络设备205-网络设备204-网络设备203循环往复传输,保证传输的可靠性。
在一些示例中,若允许网络设备205出现一定次数的路由环路(例如2次),那么网络设备205在执行S216首次判断结果为是时,可以不丢弃BGP update消息5,而是继续向网络设备202发送该BGP update消息5,并将计数器的值置为1。网络设备202、网络设备203以及网络设备204执行的步骤与S210-S214类似,此处不再赘述,直到该BGP update消息5再次到达网络设备205。网络设备205判断该BGP update消息5中携带的SoO属性的值为网络设备205的router ID,将计数器的值置为2。网络设备205确认该计数器的值到达特定阈值,则将该BGP update消息5丢弃。
此外,在上述示例中,网络设备205先判断SoO属性字段的值是否为自己的router ID,如果是,则生成对应网络设备201的路由信息的路由的转发信息。可选的,网络设备205还可以先生成该转发信息,然后再判断SoO属性字段的值是否为自己的router ID。在判断结果为是时,网络设备205可以将该转发信息置为无效或者降低该转发信息的优先级,以避免路由环路。
参见图9,该图为本申请实施例提供的另外一种路由通告和路由环路检测方法的流程 图。该方法可以适用于没有路由反射器的网络架构的场景。例如,参见图10,该图为没有路由反射器的网络架构的示意图。该网络架构包括网络设备301、网络设备302、网络设备303和网络设备304,网络设备301和网络设备302连接,网络设备302和网络设备303连接,网络设备303和网络设备304连接,网络设备304和网络设备302连接。网络设备301、网络设备302、网络设备303和网络设备304可以为路由器(router)、交换机(switch)、具备路由功能的服务器等实体设备,也可以是具备路由或交换机功能的虚拟装置。
图9所示的路由通告和路由环路检测方法包括如下步骤:
S301:第一网络设备生成第一路由通告消息,所述第一路由通告消息包括表示SoO属性的字段,该表示SoO属性的字段携带所述第一网络设备的标识。
在本申请实施例中,第一网络设备可以例如为图10中的网络设备302。第一网络设备可以是PE设备,也可以是CE设备,本申请不做具体限定。
第一网络设备生成的第一路由通告消息中包括路由信息,该路由信息可以是第一网络设备的路由信息,也可以是其他设备的路由信息。第一路由通告消息可以是BGP update消息。第一路由通告消息中除了可以包括路由信息以外,还可以包括表示SoO属性的字段,该表示SoO属性的字段的值包括第一网络设备的标识。该第一网络设备的标识例如可以是第一网络设备的router ID或第一网络设备在网络中的编号等,本申请实施例不做具体限定。
作为其中一种可能的实现方式,第一网络设备可以获取第二路由通告消息,并在所述第二路由通告消息中添加表示SoO属性的字段,得到所述第一路由通告消息。其中,表示SoO属性的字段的格式可以参见上文,此处不再赘述。
例如,网络设备302生成BGP update消息,该BGP update消息包括网络设备302的路由信息和表示SoO属性的字段,该表示SoO属性的字段的值为网络设备302的router ID。
再例如,网络设备302接收来自网络设备301的BGP update消息,该BGP update消息中携带网络设备301的路由信息。网络设备302可以在BGP update消息中添加表示SoO属性的字段,该表示SoO属性的字段的值为网络设备302的router ID。
S302:第一网络设备向第二网络设备发送所述第一路由通告消息。
在本申请实施例中,第二网络设备为第一网络设备的下一跳网络设备,具体可以是PE设备、P设备或CE设备,例如为图10中的网络设备303,本申请实施例不做具体限定。
S303:第一网络设备接收第三路由通告消息,所述第三路由通告消息包括表示SoO属性的字段。
在本申请实施例中,第一网络设备接收第三路由通告消息,该第三路由通告消息与第一路由通告消息可以是同一个路由通告消息,也可以是不同的路由通告消息。
S304:第一网络设备确认所述第三路由通告消息中所述表示SoO属性的字段的值为所述第一网络设备的标识,所述第一网络设备确定出现路由环路。
当第一网络设备确认接收到的第三路由通告消息中表示SoO属性的字段的值为所述第一网络设备的标识,说明第三路由通告消息中的路由信息为第一网络设备曾经发布的路由信息,因而第一网络设备可以确定出现路由环路。
例如,网络设备303将接收到的来自网络设备302的BGP update消息发送给网络设备 304,网络设备304向网络设备302发送该BGP update消息。网络设备302接收到该BGP update消息之后,判断出BGP update消息中的表示SoO属性的字段的值为网络设备302的router ID,则确认出现路由环路,即网络设备302曾经发出去的BGP update消息又回到了该网络设备。
S305:响应于确定出现路由环路,所述第一网络设备丢弃所述第三路由通告消息,或者,将根据所述第三路由通告消息得到的转发信息置为无效或降低所述转发信息的优先级。
在本申请实施例中,当确认出现路由环路之后,第一网络设备可以有两种可能的处理方式:
作为第一种可能的实现方式,若第一网络设备没有根据第三路由通告消息中的路由信息生成对应的转发信息时,第二网络设备可以直接丢弃该第三路由通告消息。
作为第二种可能的实现方式,若第一网络设备已经根据第三路由通告消息中的路由信息生成对应的转发信息时,第一网络设备可以将该转发信息置为无效或降低该转发信息的优先级,其目的在于,不根据该转发信息转发报文,避免报文进入转发循环。
例如,网络设备302接收到来自网络设备304的BGP update消息,并确认出现路由环路之后,网络设备302可以直接丢弃该BGP update消息,或者将根据BGP update消息中网络设备301的路由信息生成的路由的转发信息置为无效或者降低该转发信息的优先级,以避免报文进入转发循环。
此外,在一些场景下,可以允许第一网络设备出现一定次数的路由环路。即,第一网络设备在确定出现路由环路次数超过特定阈值时,丢弃第三路由通告消息,或者,将根据第三路由通告消息得到的转发信息置为无效或降低该转发信息的优先级。具体的,第一网络设备可以利用计数器统计出现路由环路的次数,即每出现一次路由环路,就将计数器的值加1。当该计数器的值达到特定阈值,则丢弃计数器达到特定阈值时的路由通告消息,或者将根据该路由通告消息得到的转发信息置为无效或降低该转发信息的优先级。
第一网络设备通过在发布的路由通告消息中携带表示SoO属性的字段,该字段的值为第一网络设备的标识,使得第一网络设备可以通过判断接收到的路由通告消息中是否包括自己的标识来确定是否出现路由环路,实现对路由环路的检测,提高业务报文传输的可靠性。
下面结合图10和图11,以一个应用场景为例对图9所示的路由通告和路由环路检测方法进行详细介绍。其中,图11为该路由通告和路由环路检测方法的流程示意图。该方法具体包括如下步骤:
S401:网络设备301向网络设备302发送BGP update消息1,该BGP update消息1包括网络设备301的路由信息。
作为第一种可能的实现方式,网络设备301为CE设备,网络设备302为PE设备,第一路由通告消息包含的到达网络设备301的路由信息,或第一路由通告消息包含到达连接网络设备301的用户网络的路由信息。
S402:网络设备302在接收到BGP update消息1之后,生成对应网络设备301的路由 信息的路由的转发信息1,并在BGP update消息1中添加表示SoO属性的字段,得到BGP update消息2,其中该表示SoO属性的字段的值为网络设备302的router ID。
其中,对应网络设备301的路由信息的路由的转发信息1的下一跳为网络设备301。
S403:网络设备302向网络设备303发送BGP update消息2。
S404:网络设备303在接收到BGP update消息2之后,向网络设备304发送BGP update消息2。
S405:网络设备304在接收到BGP update消息2之后,向网络设备302发送BGP update消息2。
S406:网络设备302判断BGP update消息2中表示SoO属性的字段的值是否为网络设备302的router ID。
S407:基于判断结果为是,网络设备302丢弃BGP update消息2。
当网络设备302判断出BGP update消息2中SoO属性中的值为网络设备302的router ID时,说明该网络设备302发布出去的BGP update消息2又回到了自己,所以为了避免路由环路问题,网络设备302将BGP update消息2丢弃,不根据BGP update消息2生成对应的转发信息,这样报文就不会在网络设备303-网络设备302-网络设备303之间循环往复传输,保证传输的可靠性。
在一些示例中,若允许网络设备302出现一定次数的路由环路(例如2次),那么网络设备302在执行S407首次判断结果为是时,可以不丢弃BGP update消息2,而是继续向网络设备303发送该BGP update消息2,并将计数器的值置为1。网络设备303以及网络设备304执行的步骤与S404-S405类似,此处不再赘述,直到该BGP update消息2再次到达网络设备302。网络设备302判断该BGP update消息5中携带的SoO属性的值为网络设备302的router ID,将计数器的值置为2。网络设备302确认该计数器的值到达特定阈值,则将该BGP update消息2丢弃。
在上述例子中,网络设备302在接收到BGP update消息2之后,先判断其中的表示SoO属性的字段的值是否为自己的router ID,基于判断结果确定是否生成对应的转发信息。在其他的示例中,网络设备302可以先根据BGP update消息2中网络设备301的路由信息生成对应路由的转发信息2,该转发信息2的下一跳为网络设备304,然后再判断BGP update消息2中的表示SoO属性的字段的值是否为自己的router ID。由于判断结果为是,则网络设备302可以将该转发信息2置为无效,只保留转发信息1;或者,网络设备302将该转发信息2的优先级降低,以使其低于转发信息1的优先级,以使网络设备302通过转发信息1向网络设备301转发报文,避免报文在网络设备302-网络设备303-网络设备304-网络设备302之间形成转发循环。
