Description

一种报文发布方法、转发路径处理方法及装置
本申请要求于2021年6月11日提交的申请号为202110656186.6、申请名称为“一种报文发布方法、转发路径处理方法及装置”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,尤其涉及一种报文发布方法、转发路径处理方法及装置。
背景技术
网络切片(network slicing),本质上就是将运营商的物理网络划分为多个虚拟网络,每一个虚拟网络根据不同的服务需求,比如时延、带宽、安全性和可靠性等来划分,以灵活的应对不同的网络应用场景。通过为网络拓扑中网络设备的网络接口配置对应的网络切片,根据该网络切片生成虚拟网络的转发路径,利用该转发路径转发报文,从而满足业务对该网络切片的服务需求。
在传统技术中,网络设备周期性的向其他设备发送其网络接口配置的网络切片的信息,以使其他设备知晓该信息,从而进行相应处理。但是这种方式对网络资源消耗较大,且效率较低。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供了一种报文发布方法、转发路径处理方法及装置,用于节约网络资源,以及提高处理效率。
第一方面,提供了一种报文发布方法,应用于第一网络设备,所述方法包括如下步骤:第一网络设备获取网络接口的状态信息,例如网络接口是否配置有对应的网络切片、网络接口是否发生故障等。响应于所述网络接口的状态信息发生变化,所述第一网络设备生成第一报文,所述第一报文中携带所述网络接口的标识、变化后的状态信息以及第一网络切片的切片标识。其中,所述变化后的状态信息指示属于所述第一网络切片的所述网络接口的变化后的状态。所述第一网络设备发布所述第一报文。相对于传统技术周期性的发布网络接口及配置的网络切片的信息的方案,本申请实施例只在第一网络设备的网络接口的状态信息发生变化时,才发布携带该网络接口的变化后的状态信息、该网络接口的标识以及对应的第一网络切片的切片标识的第一报文,减少报文发布的数量,且不需要等到周期计时结束时发布,节约了发布时间,提高了接收该第一报文的设备对该第一报文的处理效率。
网络接口的状态信息发生变化可以有如下四种可能的实现方式,下面结合这四种可能的实现方式对所述第一网络设备生成第一报文的步骤进行介绍。
实现方式一:响应于所述网络接口新增配置所述第一网络切片,所述第一网络设备生成第一报文。
实现方式二:响应于所述网络接口删除配置所述第一网络切片,所述第一网络设备生成第一报文。
实现方式三:响应于所述网络接口从正常状态变化为故障状态,所述第一网络设备获取所述第一网络切片的切片标识,并根据所述第一网络切片的切片标识生成第一报文。
实现方式四:响应于所述网络接口从故障状态恢复为正常状态,所述第一网络设备获 取所述第一网络切片的切片标识,并根据所述第一网络切片的切片标识生成第一报文。
上述四种可能的实现方式并不构成对本申请技术方案的限定,本领域技术人员可以根据具体情况自行设计。
作为一种可能的设计,所述第一报文为中间系统到中间系统(Intermediate System to Intermediate System,ISIS)报文、开放式最短路径优先(Open Shortest Path First,OSPF)报文或边界网关协议(Border Gateway Protocol,BGP)报文。
作为一种可能的设计,所述变化后的状态信息以及所述第一网络切片的切片标识携带在所述ISIS报文或所述OSPF报文的二层捆绑成员属性(L2 Bundle Member Attributes)类型长度值(type length value,TLV)字段中。
作为一种可能的设计,所述ISIS报文的L2 Bundle Member Attributes TLV字段包括二层捆绑属性描述(L2 Bundle Attribute Descriptors)字段,所述变化后的状态信息以及所述第一网络切片的切片标识携带在所述L2 Bundle Attribute Descriptors字段中。
作为一种可能的设计,所述OSPF报文的L2 Bundle Member Attributes TLV字段包括成员链路属性(Member Link attribute)子类型长度值(sub-TLV)字段,所述变化后的状态信息以及所述第一网络切片的切片标识携带在所述Member Link attribute sub-TLV字段中。

作为一种可能的设计,所述Link-State NLRI字段包括链路描述符(Link Descriptors)字段,所述变化后的状态信息以及所述第一网络切片的切片标识携带在所述Link Descriptors字段中。
作为一种可能的设计,所述第一报文用于根据所述网络接口的变化后的状态信息对转发路径进行处理,以实现根据正确的转发路径传输报文的目的。其中,所述转发路径为与所述网络接口的标识和所述第一网络切片的切片标识对应的转发路径。
作为一种可能的设计,所述第一网络设备发布所述第一报文,包括:所述第一网络设备向控制设备或第二网络设备发布所述第一报文,以便控制设备或具有算路能力的第二网络设备根据第一报文对转发路径进行处理。当然,第二网络设备还可以是没有算路能力的网络设备,实现在网络拓扑中泛洪第一报文的目的。
第二方面,提供了一种转发路径处理方法,应用于目标设备,该目标设备可以是控制设备,也可以是第二网络设备。所述方法包括如下步骤:目标设备接收来自第一网络设备的第一报文,所述第一报文中携带所述网络接口的标识、所述网络接口的变化后的状态信息以及第一网络切片的切片标识,所述变化后的状态信息指示属于所述第一网络切片的所述网络接口的变化后的状态。所述目标设备根据所述变化后的状态信息对转发路径进行处理,其中所述转发路径为与所述网络接口的标识和所述第一网络切片的切片标识对应的转发路径。由于第一报文是在网络接口的状态信息出现变化时发送的,相对于传统技术不仅减少报文发送量,而且不需要如传统技术那样等到周期结束时发送,提高目标设备对转发路径的处理效率。目标设备能够及时的通过根据变化后的状态信息对转发路径进行处理, 减少根据错误的转发路径传输报文的可能性,保证网络的可靠性。
所述目标设备根据所述变化后的状态信息对转发路径进行处理,根据状态信息的不同处理方式也不同:

作为另一种可能的实现方式,响应于所述变化后的状态信息指示所述网络接口新增配置所述第一网络切片,所述目标设备生成与所述网络接口的标识和所述第一网络切片的切片标识对应的转发路径,以通过该转发路径传输第一网络切片对应的报文。并且,目标设备存储所述网络接口的标识、所述第一网络切片的切片标识与所述转发路径的路径信息之间的对应关系,以便后续目标设备根据该对应关系进行相应处理,例如向第一网络设备下发该对应关系,以使第一网络设备根据转发路径的路径信息生成用于转发报文的路由表和转发表。
作为再一种可能的实现方式,若在网络接口处于故障状态时,目标设备删除了与所述网络接口的标识和所述第一网络切片的切片标识对应的转发路径,那么响应于所述变化后的状态信息指示所述网络接口从故障状态恢复为正常状态,所述目标设备生成与所述网络接口的标识和所述第一网络切片的切片标识对应的转发路径,或,所述目标设备将与所述网络接口的标识和所述第一网络切片的切片标识对应的转发路径的转发信息置为有效,以通过该转发路径传输第一网络切片对应的报文。并且,目标设备存储所述网络接口的标识、所述第一网络切片的切片标识与所述转发路径的路径信息之间的对应关系。

具体实施方式
传统技术中,网络设备周期性的向其他设备发送该网络设备的网络接口配置的网络切片的信息。具体的,网络设备向其他设备周期性的发送报文,该报文中携带该网络设备的一个或多个网络接口中每个网络接口的标识,以及为所述网络接口配置的网络切片的标识。倘若该网络设备的某个网络接口没有被配置网络切片,那么报文中不包括与该网络接口对应的网络切片的标识。倘若某个网络接口出现故障,那么报文中不包括该网络接口的标识以及对应的网络切片的标识。
例如,网络设备A包括网络接口1、网络接口2和网络接口3,其中,网络接口1配置有网络切片1,网络接口2配置有网络切片2,网络接口3没有配置网络切片。那么网络设备A在向其他设备发送的报文中,包括网络接口1的标识、网络切片1的标识、网络接口2的标识、网络切片2的标识以及网络接口3的标识。若网络接口1发生故障,那么网络设备A在向其他设备发送的报文中包括网络接口2的标识、网络切片2的标识以及网络接口3的标识。
当网络设备在一段时间内网络接口和对应的网络切片的信息不发生变化,那么周期性上报这种方式一方面会造成传输资源的浪费,另外一方面也会使得其他设备因为处理该报文而造成处理资源的浪费。而且,当网络接口的状态在一个上报周期内发生变化,报文也需要在该周期计时结束时上报,影响其他设备获取并处理该报文中信息的效率。
为了克服上述技术问题,本申请实施例提供了一种转发路径处理方法及设备,用于节约网络资源,提高处理效率。
本申请实施例提供的转发路径处理方法可以例如应用于图1所示的网络系统。在该图中,网络系统包括网络设备101、网络设备102、网络设备103、网络设备104以及控制设 备201。其中,网络设备101分别与网络设备102和网络设备103连接,网络设备102和网络设备103均与网络设备104连接,控制设备201分别与网络设备101、网络设备102、网络设备103和网络设备104连接。
网络设备101、网络设备102、网络设备103和网络设备104例如可以是路由器(router)、交换机(switch)等支持路由功能的实体设备,也可以是部署虚拟路由器或虚拟交换机的服务器。网络设备101、网络设备102、网络设备103和网络设备104之间可以基于内部网关协议(Interior Gateway Protocol,IGP)建立邻居关系。
控制设备201例如可以是网络控制单元(Net Control Element,NCE)等。控制设备201和网络设备101以及网络设备104之间可以通过边界网关协议(Border Gateway Protocol,BGP)建立邻居关系。
参见图2,该图为本申请实施例提供的一种转发路径处理方法的流程图。
该转发路径处理方法包括如下步骤:
S201:第一网络设备获取网络接口的状态信息。
在本申请实施例中,第一网络设备可以例如为图1中的网络设备101、网络设备102、网络设备103或网络设备104。
在本申请实施例中,第一网络设备可以具有一个或多个网络接口,该网络接口可以为物理接口,也可以是虚拟接口(也可以成为子接口)。
第一网络设备获取网络接口的状态信息,所述状态信息指示网络接口的状态。例如,网络接口是否配置有对应的网络切片、网络接口是否发生故障等。其中,一个网络接口可以配置有一个或多个网络切片。网络接口发生故障可以是在物理层面发生故障,也可以是在协议层面发生故障。不管是哪个层面发生故障,都导致网络接口无法接收或发送报文。
S202:响应于所述网络接口的状态信息发生变化,所述第一网络设备生成第一报文。
在本申请实施例中,当第一网络设备确认网络接口的状态信息发生变化,第一网络设备可以根据该网络接口的标识、变化后的状态信息以及第一网络切片的切片标识生成第一报文,其中,变化后的状态信息指示属于所述第一网络切片的所述网络接口的变化后的状态。
其中,网络接口的状态信息发生变化可以有如下几种场景,下面结合这几种不同的场景对第一报文携带的信息进行介绍。
场景一:网络接口新增配置第一网络切片。
在网络接口新增配置第一网络切片前,第一网络设备获取到的网络接口的状态信息为该网络接口未配置第一网络切片(检查出未配置网络切片的过程请参见后文,此处不再赘述)。那么该网络接口新增配置第一网络切片的动作可以触发第一报文的生成。第一报文中携带该网络接口的标识、该第一网络切片的切片标识以及网络接口变化后的状态信息,其中,该变化后的状态信息指示所述第一网络切片为该网络接口新增配置的网络切片。
若该网络接口在新增配置第一网络切片前已经配置有其他网络切片,第一报文中可以只携带第一网络切片的标识,而不需要携带其他网络切片的标识,以节约网络资源。
场景二:网络接口删除配置第一网络切片。
在网络接口删除配置第一网络切片前,第一网络设备获取到的网络接口的状态信息为该网络接口配置第一网络切片。那么该网络设备删除配置第一网络切片的动作可以触发第一报文的生成。第一报文中携带该网络接口的标识、该第一网络切片的切片标识以及网络接口变化后的状态信息,其中,该变化后的状态信息指示所述该网络接口删除配置该第一网络切片。
场景三:网络接口从正常状态变化为故障状态。
在网络接口出现故障之前,第一网络设备获取到的网络接口的状态信息为该网络接口为正常状态,即能够接收报文或发送报文。当该网络接口发生故障时,第一网络设备获取为该网络接口配置的第一网络切片的切片标识,并触发生成第一报文。第一报文中携带该网络接口的标识、该第一网络切片的切片标识以及网络接口变化后的状态信息,其中,该变化后的状态信息指示所述该网络接口发生故障。
若网络接口除了配置有第一网络切片以外,还配置有其他网络切片,那么第一报文中还可以携带其他网络切片的标识,以告知接收第一报文的设备由于网络接口出现故障,所以无法传输与这些网络切片对应的报文。
场景四:所述网络接口从故障状态恢复为正常状态。
在网络接口恢复正常状态之前,第一网络设备获取到的网络接口的状态信息为该网络接口为故障状态。当该网络接口恢复正常状态时,第一网络设备获取之前为该网络接口配置的第一网络切片的切片标识,并触发生成第一报文。第一报文中携带该网络接口的标识、该第一网络切片的切片标识以及网络接口变化后的状态信息,其中,该变化后的状态信息指示所述该网络接口恢复为正常状态。
若网络接口除了配置有第一网络切片以外,还配置有其他网络切片,那么第一报文中还可以携带其他网络切片的标识,以告知接收第一报文的设备由于网络接口恢复为正常状态,所以能够传输与这些网络切片对应的报文。
上述四种场景并不构成对本申请技术方案的限定,本领域技术人员可以根据实际情况自行设计。
需要说明的是,当第一网络设备的多个网络接口的状态信息均发生变化,那么第一报文中可以携带多个网络接口中每个网络接口的接口标识,以及与该接口标识对应的变化后状态信息和与该接口标识对应的第一网络切片的切片标识。
S203:所述第一网络设备发布所述第一报文。
在本申请实施例中,第一网络设备可以向目标设备发布第一报文。其中,目标设备可以是第二网络设备,也可以是控制设备。例如,当第一网络设备为网络设备102时,目标设备可以是网络设备101或网络设备104。当第一网络设备为网络设备101时,目标设备可以是控制设备201。
在本申请实施例中,第一网络设备的网络接口的变化后状态信息和第一网络切片的切片标识可以以类型长度值(type length value,TLV)字段或者子TLV(sub-TLV)的形式携带在第一报文中。这两个信息可以携带在同一个TLV字段或者同一个sub-TLV字段中,也可以携带在不同的TLV字段或不同的sub-TLV字段中。
参见图3,该图为网络接口变化后状态信息和第一网络切片的切片标识携带在同一个TLV字段或同一个sub-TLV字段的格式示意图。该TLV字段或sub-TLV字段包括:Type字段、Length字段、状态(state)字段、Reserved字段以及虚拟传输网络标识(virtual transport network identifier,vtn-id)字段。其中,Type字段的值用于指示该TLV字段或sub-TLV字段是用于携带网络接口变化后状态信息和第一网络切片的切片标识的字段。Length字段的值为该TLV字段或sub-TLV字段的长度。state字段用于携带网络接口变化后的状态信息。vtn-id字段用于携带第一网络切片的切片标识,可以占用4octets。Reserved字段用于携带其他信息。
在本申请实施例中,第一网络设备的网络接口的标识可以与变化后状态信息和第一网络切片的切片标识携带在同一个TLV字段或同一个sub-TLV字段中,也可以携带在其他字段中,本申请不做具体限定。
当目标设备为第二网络设备时,第一网络设备可以基于IGP向第二网络设备发布第一报文,第一报文可以例如为中间系统到中间系统(Intermediate System to Intermediate System,ISIS)报文或开放式最短路径优先(Open Shortest Path First,OSPF)报文。当目标设备为控制设备时,第一网络设备可以基于BGP向控制设备发布第一报文,第一报文可以例如为BGP报文。
当第一报文为ISIS报文或OSPF报文时,网络接口的变化后的状态信息以及所述第一网络切片的切片标识携带在所述ISIS报文或所述OSPF报文的二层(Lay 2,L2)捆绑成员属性(Bundle Member Attributes)类型长度值(type length value,TLV)字段中。
具体的,所述ISIS报文的L2 Bundle Member Attributes TLV字段包括二层捆绑属性描述符(L2 Bundle Attribute Descriptors)字段,所述变化后的状态信息以及所述第一网络切片的切片标识可以携带在所述L2 Bundle Attribute Descriptors字段中。
参见图4,该图为L2 Bundle Attribute Descriptors字段的格式示意图。基于rfc8668,该L2 Bundle Attribute Descriptors字段包括:长度(len)字段、描述符(Desc)字段、链路本地标识捆绑成员(Link local Identifier Bundle Member)#1字段以及Link local Identifier Bundle Member#2字段。其中,len字段的值为25,Desc字段的值为2,Link local Identifier Bundle Member#1字段的值为0x11111111,Link local Identifier Bundle Member#2字段的值为0x11112222。除了上述字段以外,该L2 Bundle Attribute Descriptors字段还可以包括图3所示的sub-TLV字段,以携带网络接口变化后的状态信息以及第一网络切片的切片标识。
此外,ISIS报文的L2 Bundle Member Attributes TLV字段还可以携带网络接口的标识。网络接口的标识可以体现为网络接口的互联网协议(Internet Protocol,IP)地址或索引。
例如,该L2 Bundle Member Attributes TLV字段包括互联网协议第四版(Internet Protocol version 4,IPv4)接口地址(interface address)sub-TLV字段或互联网协议第六版(Internet Protocol version 6,IPv6)interface address sub-TLV字段,该IPv4interface address sub-TLV字段用于携带网络接口的IPv4地址,IPv6interface address sub-TLV字段用于携带网络接口的IPv6地址。
该L2 Bundle Member Attributes TLV字段还可以包括网络接口的链路本地标识(Link  local Identifier)字段,用于携带网络接口的索引。例如,网络设备101包括两个网络接口,这两个网络接口的索引分别为01和02。
参见图5,该图为OSPF报文的L2 Bundle Member Attributes TLV字段的格式示意图。在该图中,L2 Bundle Member Attributes TLV字段包括:Type字段、Length字段、L2 Bundle Member Descriptor字段以及成员链路属性(Member Link attribute)子类型长度值(sub-TLV)字段。其中,所述变化后的状态信息以及所述第一网络切片的切片标识可以以图3所示的sub-TLV等格式作为所述Member Link attribute sub-TLV字段中的一个sub-TLV。
此外,Member Link attribute sub-TLV字段还可以携带网络接口的标识。例如,Member Link attribute sub-TLV字段包括本地接口标识(local interface ID)sub-TLV字段,用于携带网络接口的索引。Member Link attribute sub-TLV字段还可以携带local interface IPv6address字段,用于携带网络接口的IPv6地址。
当第一报文为BGP报文时,变化后的状态信息以及所述第一网络切片的切片标识携带在所述BGP报文的链路状态(Link-State)网络层可达信息(Network Layer Reachability Information,NLRI)字段中。参见图6,该图为Link-State NLRI字段的格式示意图。在该图中,Link-State NLRI字段包括协议号(protocol-ID)字段、标识字段(Identifier)字段(64bits)、本地节点描述符(Local Node Descriptors)字段、远端节点描述符(Remote Node Descriptors)字段和链路描述符(Link Descriptors)字段。其中,Local Node Descriptors字段、Remote Node Descriptors字段和Link Descriptors字段是可选的(variable)。
Link Descriptors字段包括Link Local Identifier字段,用于携带网络接口的标识。在本申请实施例中,Link Descriptors字段中还可以包括图3所示的sub-TLV字段,用于携带网络接口的变化后状态信息以及第一网络切片的切片标识。
S204:目标设备接收来自第一网络设备的第一报文。
S205:目标设备根据所述网络接口的变化后的状态信息对转发路径进行处理。
在本申请实施例中,当目标设备具备对转发路径的处理能力时,例如目标设备为控制设备或具有算路能力的边缘网络设备,那么目标设备可以根据第一报文中携带的网络接口的变化后的状态信息对转发路径进行处理,其中,所述转发路径为与所述网络接口的标识和所述第一网络切片的切片标识对应的转发路径。
在本申请实施例中,变化后的状态信息指示的内容不同,目标设备对转发路径进行处理的方式也不同。
当所述变化后的状态信息指示所述网络接口删除配置所述第一网络切片,或,所述变化后的状态信息指示所述网络接口从正常状态变化为故障状态时,所述目标设备可以查找预先存储的与所述网络接口的标识和所述第一网络切片的切片标识对应的转发路径的路径信息,并且删除所述转发路径的路径信息或将所述转发路径的路径信息置为无效。并且,在删除该转发路径的路径信息或将该转发路径的路径信息置为无效之后,目标设备还需要通知该转发路径所经过的除第一网络设备以外的其他网络设备,以避免通过该转发路径转发报文,造成报文丢失的问题。
或者,当目标设备查找到与所述网络接口的标识和所述第一网络切片的切片标识对应 的转发路径的路径信息之后,所述目标设备根据属于所述第一网络切片的除所述网络接口以外的其他网络接口重新计算与所述第一网络切片的切片标识对应的转发路径。并且,目标设备可以将重新计算得到的转发路径的转发信息下发给该转发路径上的网络设备,以实现通过传输正常的转发路径转发第一网络切片的报文的目的。
当所述变化后的状态信息指示所述网络接口新增配置所述第一网络切片,所述目标设备生成与所述网络接口的标识和所述第一网络切片的切片标识对应的转发路径,并存储所述网络接口的标识、所述第一网络切片的切片标识与所述转发路径的路径信息之间的对应关系。目标设备还可以向该转发路径上的网络设备下发转发路径的转发信息,以通过该转发路径转发第一网络切片的报文。
若在网络接口处于故障状态时,目标设备删除了与该网络接口的标识和第一网络切片的切片标识对应的转发路径的路径信息,那么当所述变化后的状态信息指示所述网络接口从故障状态恢复为正常状态时,目标设备可以重新生成该转发路径,并存储所述网络接口的标识、所述第一网络切片的切片标识与所述转发路径的路径信息之间的对应关系。若网络接口在处于故障状态时,目标设备将与该网络接口的标识和第一网络切片的切片标识对应的转发路径的路径信息置为无效,那么当所述变化后的状态信息指示所述网络接口从故障状态恢复为正常状态时,目标设备可以将该与该网络接口的标识和第一网络切片的切片标识对应的转发路径的路径信息置为有效。在重新生成该转发路径或将路径信息置为有效之后,目标设备可以通知该转发路径上的网络设备,以使该转发路径能够转发第一网络切片的报文。
当第一网络设备与目标设备之间并非直连,即二者之间还连接有其他网络设备,那么,这些网络设备可以对第一报文进行转发,以使目标设备能够接收到该第一报文,并执行后续步骤。
相对于传统技术周期性的发布网络接口及配置的网络切片的信息的方案,本申请实施例只在第一网络设备的网络接口的状态信息发生变化时,才向目标设备发布携带该网络接口的变化后的状态信息、该网络接口的标识以及对应的第一网络切片的切片标识的第一报文,减少报文发布的数量,且不需要等到周期计时结束时发布,节约了发布时间,提高了目标设备的处理效率。
下面以图1为例介绍如何检查出未配置与网络接口对应的网络切片,以及与网络接口的标识和第一网络切片的切片标识对应的转发路径如何生成。
在本申请实施例中,控制设备201可以向与其通信的网络设备101、网络设备102、网络设备103和网络设备104分别下发对应的切片实例信息,该切片实例信息包括灵活算法(flexible algorithm,FA)的FA标识(identification,ID)和网络切片的切片标识之间的对应关系。其中,FA ID用于标识灵活算法的算法约束条件。该切片实例信息还可以包括与FA ID对应的算法约束条件,以使与控制设备201通信的上述网络设备获取到上述信息并进行存储。在一些示例中,算法约束条件还可以直接配置在上述网络设备中,即控制设备201仅下发FA ID与切片标识之间的对应关系,而不下发与FA ID对应的算法约束条件。
其中,灵活算法的算法约束条件例如包括度量值类型(metric type)、计算类型 (calculation type)和链路属性等。
其中,度量值类型包括三种:metric type=0表示IGP度量值;metric type=1表示最小单项链路延迟(link delay),具体请参见RFC7810协议;metric type=2表示流量工程度量值,具体请参见RFC5305协议。
计算类型包括两种:calculation type=0表示最短路径优先(shortest path first,SPF);calculation type=1表示严格最短路径优先(strict SPF)。
链路属性用颜色(color)来表示,不同的链路属性对应不同的颜色。链路属性相同的网络设备组成一个网络拓扑结构,基于该网络拓扑结构来计算对应的转发路径。
约束条件还可以包括:
排除管理组(Exclude Admin Group):指定链路管理组不能包含任何一个引用的亲和属性名称,不满足的链路将被排除,不能参与算路。
包括任意一个管理组(Include-Any Admin Group):指定链路管理组只要包含一个引用的亲和属性名称,该链路就可以参与算路。
包括全部管理组(Include-All Admin Group):指定链路管理组要包含所有引用的亲和属性名称,不满足的链路将被排除,不能参与算路。
例如,控制设备201向网络设备101、网络设备102、网络设备103和网络设备104分别发送FA ID 128和网络切片1的切片标识的对应关系,以及FA ID 129和网络切片2的切片标识的对应关系。
假设网络切片1,用于传输高带宽业务的报文,对应的算法约束条件为:
metric type:IGP Metric;
calculation type:SPF;
Exclude Admin Group:红。
网络切片2,用于传输低延时业务的报文,对应的算法约束条件为:
metric type:IGP Metric;
calculation type:SPF;
Include-Any Admin Group:蓝。
若控制设备201下发的切片实例信息包括算法约束条件,且不同的切片ID对应多个算法约束条件时,网络设备可以算法约束条件的优先级选择一个与该切片ID对应的算法约束条件。
控制设备201还向与其通信的网络设备104分别下发对应的接口集合和网络切片的切片标识的对应关系。
例如,控制设备201向网络设备101发送接口集合A和网络切片1的切片标识的对应关系,以及接口集合B和网络切片2的切片标识的对应关系,其中接口集合A和接口集合B分别包括网络设备101的一个或多个网络接口。
网络设备根据网络切片对应的算法约束条件确定满足该算法约束条件的接口集合。
例如,网络设备101根据网络切片1对应的算法约束条件确定满足该算法约束条件的接口集合为接口集合A’。网络设备101根据网络切片2对应的算法约束条件确定满足该算 法约束条件的接口集合为接口集合B’。
网络设备比对控制设备201下发的与网络切片对应的接口集合以及根据该网络切片的算法约束条件确定的接口集合,若根据算法约束条件确定的接口集合中有一个或多个接口不在下发的接口集合中,说明该一个或多个接口没有被配置网络切片。
例如,假设网络设备101确定的与网络切片1对应的接口集合A’包括接口1的子接口a以及接口2的子接口b,控制设备201下发的与网络切片1对应的接口集合A包括接口1的子接口a以及接口2的子接口b,可见接口集合A’全部包含于接口集合A,说明接口1的子接口a以及接口2的子接口b均配置了网络切片1。
假设网络设备101确定的与网络切片2对应的接口集合B’包括接口1的子接口c和及接口2的子接口d,而控制设备201下发的与网络切片2对应的接口集合B包括接口1的子接口c,由于接口集合B’中接口1的子接口c包含于接口集合B,且接口集合B’中接口2的子接口d未包含于接口集合B,说明接口1的子接口c配置了网络切片2,接口2的子接口d未配置网络切片2。
基于上文介绍,当网络设备的某个网络接口从配置有网络切片变为未配置网络切片,那么则可以发布第一报文。
例如,当网络设备101的接口2的子接口d从之前配置有网络切片2,到因为各种原因而删除配置网络切片2,则可以发布第一报文,该第一报文中可以携带接口2的子接口d的标识、网络切片2的切片标识以及变化后的状态信息,该变化后的状态信息用于指示该子接口d删除配置了网络切片2。
控制设备201在知晓各网络设备的网络接口配置了哪些对应的网络切片之后,可以计算出配置有相同的网络切片的转发路径,并存储该转发路径的路径信息、网络接口的标识以及网络切片的标识之间的对应关系。并且,控制设备201可以将该路径信息下发给对应的网络设备,以实现通过该转发路径转发属于该网络切片的报文的目的。具体的,控制设备201可以下发段路由(Segment Routing)策略(policy)或IPv6段路由(Segment Routing IPv6,SRv6)策略,其中携带有路径信息,该路径信息可以体现为段标识(Segment Identifier,SID)列表(list)。
例如,控制设备201计算出的与网络切片1对应的转发路径为网络设备101-网络设备102-网络设备104,那么控制设备201可以存储该转发路径的SID list、网络设备101的子接口a以及网络切片1的对应关系,并将该SID list下发给网络设备101,以使网络设备101根据该SID list生成对应的转发表,该转发表的出接口为该子接口a。基于该转发表,网络设备101可以将报文通过子接口a转发给网络设备102。
参见图7,本申请实施例还提供了一种报文发布装置700,该报文发布装置700可以实现图2所示实施例中第一网络设备的功能。该报文发布装置700包括处理单元701和发送单元702。其中,处理单元701用于实现图2所示实施例中的S201和S202;发送单元702用于实现图2所示实施例中的S203。

具体的,接收单元801,用于接收来自第一网络设备的第一报文,所述第一报文中携带所述网络接口的标识、所述网络接口的变化后的状态信息以及第一网络切片的切片标识,所述变化后的状态信息指示属于所述第一网络切片的所述网络接口的变化后的状态。
