技术领域
本公开涉及通信技术领域,具体涉及报文转发方法、线卡、主控卡、框式设备、电子设备及计算机可读存储介质。
背景技术
随着网络规模的不断扩大以及对网络业务的可靠性要求越来越高,LAG(Link Aggregation,链路聚合)和ECMP(Equal-cost Multipath Routing,等价多径路由)负载均衡技术已经在网络设备上广泛应用。当LAG和ECMP实现负载分担时,相关技术一般采用静态哈希(hash)选路技术,即根据配置的hash因子(比如选取五元组:源地址、目的地址、源端口、目的端口和协议)进行hash及求余计算。对于同一个LAG组或同一个ECMP组,hash计算求余值不同的数据流,会选择不同的成员端口或不同的等价路径成员进行转发,从而实现负载分担。上述的静态hash选路有一个较为明显的缺陷,就是对于hash结果相同的流,最后都选择了相同的成员端口或等价路径成员转发。该方法在网络数据流hash分布不均匀的场景中,尤其是在同时存在多个大象流和老鼠流的场景中(例如在数据中心网络中)会存在比较明显的问题。举个例子,如果多个大象流hash选择了同一条端口链路上进行转发,就很容易造成LAG组或ECMP组的该条成员链路出口拥塞甚至丢包。
DLB(Dynamic Load Balance,动态负载均衡)技术是解决上述静态hash选路缺陷的一种新的技术。DLB的主要原理是根据LAG/ECMP成员链路的负载情况来选取负载轻的成员,以进行当前报文的转发。然而,DLB在分布式设备上实施时还存在一些技术难点,例如实时采集分布在不同线卡的LAG/ECMP成员端口的负载数据的难度较大、大量实时负载数据消息对带外带宽的消耗较大、符合转发需求的路由成员的选举性能低导致负载分担效果不好等等,导致当前一些芯片及设备厂家的DLB技术局限在集中式设备中实现,在分布式框式设备中,因为实现技术上的难度尚无法很好地支持DLB功能。

在步骤S12中,将所述质量评估信息发送至主控卡,以供所述主控卡根据所述质量评估信息确定所述当前线卡中符合转发需求的路由成员。
在步骤S13中,通过所述符合转发需求的路由成员转发报文。
转发周期可以预先设定,其时长可以被设定为数秒、数毫秒、数微秒、数纳秒等等。路由结构可以包括当前线卡上已进行过动态负载均衡(Dynamic Load Balance,DLB)配置的路由结构,还可以包括当前线卡上还未进行过DLB配置的路由结构;路由结构可以与当前线卡的路由成员相关,还可以与当前线卡所在的报文转发系统中的其他线卡的路由成员相关。负载数据可以包括相应路由结构的配置信息以及表征相应路由结构的负载性能的数据。质量评估信息可用以表征相应路由结构的质量(或可称空闲程度等等)。符合转发需求的路由成员可以是当前不存在拥塞或拥塞程度最低的路由成员。
线卡可以主动将质量评估信息发送至主控卡,也可以响应于接收到主控卡发送的获取请求而将质量评估信息发送至主控卡。主控卡则可以直接根据质量评估信息为当前线卡确定出符合转发需求的路由成员,无需主控卡先分别采集不同线卡的负载数据再根据负载数据为各个线卡确定符合转发需求的路由成员,合理并均衡地利用了线卡及主控卡的数据处理资源和网络资源,提高了选择符合转发需求的路由成员的效率,节省了网络资源。
在根据质量评估信息确定出当前线卡中符合转发需求的路由成 员之后,主控卡可以主动将该符合转发需求的路由成员通知给当前线卡,也可以响应于接收到当前线卡发送的获取请求而将该符合转发需求的路由成员通知给当前线卡。当前线卡可以将主控卡通知的符合转发需求的路由成员更新至本地的目标路由成员表项,当需要进行报文转发时,线卡可以直接查询本地的目标路由成员表项,以确定当前符合转发需求的路由成员,通过该符合转发需求的路由成员转发报文。需要说明的是,若存在报文流还未被转发完毕,且目标路由成员表项发生变化导致线卡查询到的符合转发需求的路由成员发生变化,则线卡可以在保证报文流不乱序的情况下,通过更新后的符合转发需求的路由成员继续转发报文。
线卡根据路由结构的负载数据确定路由结构的质量评估信息,主控卡根据线卡发送的路由结构的质量评估信息确定当前线卡中符合转发需求的路由成员,当路由结构的负载数据发生变化时,符合转发需求的路由成员也将发生变化。在每个转发周期中,线卡均通过主控卡确定出的符合转发需求的路由成员转发报文,能够确保所有的报文均是通过当前的符合转发需求的路由成员转发的,实现了动态地根据路由结构的负载情况来选取符合转发需求的路由成员进行报文转发,在线卡的各路由成员之间动态高效地实现了负载均衡。并且,线卡是通过主控卡确定出的符合转发需求的路由成员转发报文,而不是通过静态哈希(hash)的方法从各路由成员中选取路由成员进行报文转发,有效地避免了由于为hash结果相同的不同报文选择相同的路由成员进行转发而导致的路由成员拥塞、丢包的问题,减小了路由成员的拥塞丢包频率,提高了报文转发效率。
通过上述步骤S11至S13可以看出,在本公开实施例所提供的报文转发方法中,线卡直接根据当前线卡的路由结构的负载数据确定所述路由结构的质量评估信息,并将所述质量评估信息发送至主控卡,以供主控卡直接根据所述质量评估信息确定当前线卡中符合转发需求的路由成员,线卡直接通过所述符合转发需求的路由成员转发报文即可。无需主控卡先分别采集不同线卡的负载数据再根据负载数据为各个线卡确定符合转发需求的路由成员,合理并均衡地利用了线卡及 主控卡的数据处理资源和网络资源,提高了选择符合转发需求的路由成员的效率,节省了网络资源;实现了动态地根据路由结构的负载情况来选取路由成员进行报文转发,在线卡的各路由成员之间动态高效地实现了负载均衡;也无需通过静态hash的方法从各路由成员中选取路由成员进行报文转发,有效地避免了由于为hash结果相同的不同报文选择相同的路由成员进行转发而导致的路由成员拥塞、丢包的问题,减小了路由成员的拥塞丢包频率,提高了报文转发效率。
为路由结构所配置的负载上限越大、路由结构本身的负载性能越高,则与路由结构相关的路由成员的可用性程度也将越高。负载数据可以包括相应路由结构的配置信息以及表征相应路由结构的负载性能的数据,则主控卡可以根据路由结构的负载数据来对路由结构的质量进行综合评估计算,以得到可以表征路由结构的质量的质量评估信息。相应的,在一些实施方式中,所述负载数据可以包括额定负载数据和实际负载数据,额定负载数据可以为相应路由结构的配置信息,实际负载数据可以用以表征相应路由结构的负载性能。
如图3所示,在一些实施方式中,上述步骤S11可以包括步骤S111至S113。
在步骤S111中,根据所述路由结构的额定负载数据和所述路由结构在当前转发周期的实际负载数据确定所述路由结构在当前转发周期的初始平均负载指数。
在步骤S112中,根据所述路由结构在上一转发周期的最终平均负载指数和在当前转发周期的所述初始平均负载指数确定所述路由结构在当前转发周期的最终平均负载指数。
在步骤S113中,根据所述路由结构在当前转发周期的所述最终平均负载指数和所述额定负载数据确定所述路由结构在当前转发周期的质量评估信息。
初始平均负载指数已经能够表征路由结构在当前转发周期的质量,但由于路由结构通常处于持续工作的状态,路由结构的负载情况在具体工作过程中是不断发生变化的,当前转发周期的负载情况与历史转发周期的负载情况具有一定的关联,若仅根据路由结构的额定负 载数据和路由结构在当前转发周期的实际负载数据确定路由结构在当前转发周期的质量评估信息,具有一定的局限性,并且不考虑上一转发周期的负载情况对当前转发周期的负载情况的影响,可能会影响质量评估信息的准确性。为了进一步提高质量评估信息的准确性,线卡可以考虑上一转发周期的负载情况对当前转发周期的负载情况的影响,根据路由结构在上一转发周期的最终平均负载指数和在当前转发周期的初始平均负载指数确定路由结构在当前转发周期的最终平均负载指数。
最终平均负载指数也已经能够表征路由结构在当前转发周期的质量,最终平均负载指数越高,说明路由结构的剩余负载容量越低,路由结构的质量也越低。但在最终平均负载指数相同的情况下,负载能力相对较高的路由结构,其可用性明显高于负载能力相对较低的路由结构的可用性。若仅将最终平均负载指数作为质量评估信息,未考虑到路由结构的负载能力对于路由结构质量的影响,可能会影响质量评估信息的准确性。为了更进一步提高质量评估信息的准确性,在评估计算路由结构的质量时,线卡还可以考虑路由结构的负载能力。路由结构的负载能力可以从路由结构的配置信息(即额定负载数据)上体现出来,线卡可以根据路由结构在当前转发周期的最终平均负载指数和额定负载数据来计算路由结构在当前转发周期的质量评估信息。
通过上述步骤S111至S113可以看出,本公开实施例提供的报文转发方法中,确定路由结构的质量评估信息的操作,根据路由结构的额定负载数据、路由结构在当前转发周期的实际负载数据以及路由结构在上一转发周期的最终平均负载指数来确定路由结构在当前转发周期的质量评估信息,综合考虑了路由结构的当前负载情况、历史负载情况和额定负载能力,能够得到较为准确客观的质量评估信息,由于主控卡根据质量评估信息为线卡确定符合转发需求的路由成员,上述操作也将提高选择路由成员的准确性。
在一些实施方式中,所述路由结构包括端口,所述端口的额定负载数据包括端口带宽,所述端口的实际负载数据包括端口发包数量,在上述步骤S111中,利用以下公式计算所述端口在当前转发周期的 初始平均负载指数:
Lp=Sp(N,t)/Bwp;
Lp为所述端口在当前转发周期的初始平均负载指数;
Sp(N,t)为所述端口在当前转发周期的端口发包速率;
N为所述端口在当前转发周期的端口发包数量;
t为所述转发周期的时长;以及
Bwp为所述端口的端口带宽。
端口即为线卡上的物理出端口。端口带宽即为端口的配置信息,线卡可以使用等比数值来表示端口带宽,例如,10G、40G、100G的端口带宽可以分别表示为10、40、100,当然,也可以分别表示为1、4、10或分别表示为0.1、0.4、1等等。端口在当前转发周期的端口发包速率Sp(N,t)是关于端口在当前转发周期的端口发包数量N和转发周期的时长t的函数,本公开实施例提供的报文转发方法对具体如何根据端口发包数量N和时长t计算端口发包速率并不做具体限定。以端口在当前转发周期的端口发包速率是8G而端口的端口带宽是10G为例,此时端口在当前转发周期的初始平均负载指数为0.8。
根据端口的质量评估信息来选取符合转发需求的路由成员进行报文转发,相较于通过静态hash的方法来选取路由成员进行报文转发,能够有效避免由于为hash结果相同的不同报文选择相同的路由成员进行转发而导致的路由成员拥塞、丢包的问题,从而减小路由成员的拥塞丢包频率以及提高报文转发效率。但考虑到当在转发芯片上行TM(Traffic Manage,流量管理)完成QoS(Quality of Service,服务质量)时,可能存在选取的路由成员对突发流量不敏感的问题,仅根据端口的质量来选取符合转发需求的路由成员无法适用于流量突发场景,因此,除可以根据端口的质量选取符合转发需求的路由成员之外,还可以结合端口的质量以及队列的质量选取符合转发需求的路由成员。
相应的,在一些实施方式中,所述路由结构还包括队列,所述队列的额定负载数据包括队列丢包门限,所述队列的实际负载数据包括队列深度,在上述步骤S111中,利用以下公式计算所述队列在当 前转发周期的初始平均负载指数:
Lq=Dq/Mq,
Lq为所述队列在当前转发周期的初始平均负载指数;
Dq为所述队列在当前转发周期的队列深度;以及
Mq为所述队列的队列丢包门限。
队列即为在本线卡上为本线卡的端口或者报文转发系统中的所有端口(既包括本线卡上的端口,也包括其他线卡上的端口)所配置的出队列。队列丢包门限即为队列的配置信息,指的是能够进入队列的最大报文长度。线卡可以使用等比数值来表示队列丢包门限,例如,10K字节、40K字节、100K字节的队列丢包门限可以分别表示为10、40、100,当然,也可以分别表示为1、4、10或分别表示为0.1、0.4、1等等。以队列在当前转发周期的队列深度是8K字节而队列丢包门限是10K字节为例,此时队列在当前转发周期的初始平均负载指数为0.8。
本公开实施例提供的报文转发方法,结合端口的质量以及队列的质量来选取符合转发需求的路由成员,能够适用于流量突发场景,进一步提高DLB技术的选取路由成员的效率和准确性。
在一些实施方式中,所述队列可以包括:ETM(Egress Traffic Manage,下行流量管理)队列,或,FTM(Fabric Traffic Manage,上行流量管理)队列。
ETM队列可以包括当前线卡的转发芯片的ETM为当前线卡的端口所配置的下行ETM队列。FTM队列可以包括当前线卡的转发芯片的FTM为当前线卡的端口所配置的上行FTM队列,还可以包括当前线卡的转发芯片的FTM为报文转发系统中的其他线卡的端口所配置的上行FTM队列。FTM队列是在转发芯片上行的TM用于缓存出口报文的队列,每个线卡的转发芯片的FTM均为系统所有端口分配有出队列。
在转发芯片上行TM完成QoS(Quality of Service,服务质量)的场景下,线卡能够合理全面地评估TM队列质量,根据端口的质量以及TM队列的质量来选取符合转发需求的路由成员,能够适用于流量突发场景,提高选取路由成员的准确性。
在一些实施方式中,在上述步骤S112中,利用以下公式计算所述路由结构在当前转发周期的最终平均负载指数:

为所述路由结构在当前转发周期的所述初始平均负载指数;以及
We为预设的权重。
T可用以标识当前转发周期,T-1可用以标识上一转发周期。当路由结构为端口时,线卡可以根据端口在上一转发周期的最终平均负载指数和在当前转发周期的初始平均负载指数确定端口在当前转发周期的最终平均负载指数。当路由结构包括队列时,线卡还可以根据队列在上一转发周期的最终平均负载指数和在当前转发周期的初始平均负载指数确定队列在当前转发周期的最终平均负载指数。
需要说明的是,在第一个转发周期中,由于不存在路由结构在上一转发周期的最终平均负载指数,线卡可以将路由结构在当前转发周期的初始平均负载指数作为路由结构在当前转发周期的最终平均负载指数。
在一些实施方式中,所述当前线卡的路由成员包括LAG组中的端口,和/或,ECMP组中的路径。ECMP组中的每一路径均具有端口。
在一些实施方式中,所述质量评估信息包括所述路由结构对应的端口标识与所述路由结构的质量评估值之间的对应关系。线卡的路由结构通常情况下为多个,对于任一路由结构,线卡可以根据该路由结构的负载数据来确定该路由结构的质量评估信息,在上述步骤S113中,线卡可以先根据该路由结构在当前转发周期的最终平均负载指数和额定负载数据确定该路由结构在当前转发周期的质量评估值,再生成该路由结构对应的端口标识与质量评估值之间的对应关系。
当路由结构为端口时,路由结构对应的端口标识与所述路由结构的质量评估值之间的对应关系可以包括端口对应的端口标识与端口质量评估值之间的第一对应关系,线卡可以先根据端口在当前转发 周期的最终平均负载指数和额定负载数据确定该端口在当前转发周期的端口质量评估值,再生成该端口对应的端口标识与该端口的端口质量评估值之间的第一对应关系。
在一些实施方式中,线卡可以利用以下公式计算端口在当前转发周期的端口质量评估值:

在一些实施方式中,线卡可以利用以下公式计算ETM队列在当前转发周期的ETM队列质量评估值:

在一些实施方式中,线卡可以利用以下公式计算FTM队列在当前转发周期的FTM队列质量评估值:

在一些实施方式中,上述步骤S12可以包括:线卡主动将质量评估信息发送至主控卡,或者,线卡响应于主控卡的获取请求而将质量评估信息发送至主控卡。也就是说,可以由线卡主动向主控卡发送路由结构的质量评估信息,也可以由主控卡主动向线卡获取路由结构的质量评估信息。
线卡可以通过以太网通道或PCI-E通道等将质量评估信息发送至主控卡,本公开实施例提供的报文转发方法对此并不做具体限定。在线卡主动发送质量评估信息的情况下,线卡可以采用如图4所示的报文格式发送质量评估信息,该格式包括消息头、槽位号、芯片号和质量评估信息。在主控卡主动向线卡获取质量评估信息的情况下,线卡可以采用如图5所示的报文格式发送质量评估信息,该格式包括槽位号、芯片号和质量评估信息。
如图4所示的报文格式中的消息头可以包括消息类型字段、消息子类型字段和消息长度字段,消息类型字段用于指示本报文为质量评估信息通知消息,消息子类型字段用于指示本报文通知的信息为以下任一项:端口的质量评估信息、端口的质量评估信息及ETM队列的质量评估信息、端口的质量评估信息及FTM队列的质量评估信息。端口的质量评估信息可以包括端口标识与端口质量评估值之间的第一对应关系,ETM队列的质量评估信息可以包括端口标识与ETM队列质量评估值之间的第二对应关系,FTM队列的质量评估信息可以包括端口标识与FTM队列质量评估值之间的第三对应关系。

在步骤S21中,接收各个线卡发送的相应路由结构的质量评估信息。
在步骤S22中,根据各所述质量评估信息确定各个所述线卡中符合转发需求的路由成员,以供各个所述线卡通过相应的所述符合转发需求的路由成员转发报文。
通过上述步骤S21至S22可以看出,在本公开实施例所提供的报文转发方法中,线卡直接根据当前线卡的路由结构的负载数据确定所述路由结构的质量评估信息,并将所述质量评估信息发送至主控卡,以供主控卡直接根据所述质量评估信息确定当前线卡中符合转发需求的路由成员,线卡直接通过所述符合转发需求的路由成员转发报文即可。无需主控卡先分别采集不同线卡的负载数据再根据负载数据为各个线卡确定符合转发需求的路由成员,合理并均衡地利用了线卡及主控卡的数据处理资源和网络资源,提高了选择符合转发需求的路由成员的效率,节省了网络资源;实现了动态地根据路由结构的负载情况来选取路由成员进行报文转发,在线卡的各路由成员之间动态高效地实现了负载均衡;也无需通过静态hash的方法从各路由成员中选取路由成员进行报文转发,有效地避免了由于为hash结果相同的不同报文选择相同的路由成员进行转发而导致的路由成员拥塞、丢包的问题,减小了路由成员的拥塞丢包频率,提高了报文转发效率。

在步骤S221中,根据所述待计算的线卡所发送的所述对应关系,确定所述待计算的线卡的各路由成员的端口标识所对应的质量评估值。
在步骤S222中,根据各所述质量评估值确定所述待计算的线卡中符合转发需求的路由成员。
路由成员可以包括:LAG组中的端口、或、ECMP组中的路径,而ECMP组中的每一路径均具有端口。针对任一待计算的线卡,主控卡可以确定该待计算的线卡的各路由成员的端口标识,对于该待计算的线卡的任一LAG组,主控卡可以获取本地保存的该LAG组的所有端口的端口标识,例如LAG1组共有三个端口,端口标识分别为port1、port2、port100。对于该待计算的线卡的某一ECMP组,主控卡可以获取并记录该ECMP组的所有路径的端口的端口标识,若多条路径的端口相同,则该端口的端口标识只记录一次,最终记录该ECMP组的所有路径的端口的端口标识。例如最终记录该ECMP1组共有三个端口,端口标识分别为port1、port2、port100。在一些实施方式中,主控卡可以根据该待计算的线卡的各路由成员的端口标识,查询该待计算的线卡所发送的端口标识与质量评估值之间的对应关系,以分别确定该待计算的线卡的各路由成员所对应的质量评估值。
该待计算的线卡的每一路由成员所对应的质量评估值的数量可以为一个,主控卡可以确定在各路由成员所对应的质量评估值中的最高值,将该最高值所对应的路由成员确定为该待计算的线卡中符合转发需求的路由成员;该待计算的线卡的每一路由成员所对应的质量评估值的数量也可以为多个,对于每一路由成员,主控卡可以根据每一路由成员所对应的多个质量评估值确定每一路由成员所对应的综合质量评估值,然后确定在各路由成员所对应的综合质量评估值中的最高值,将该最高值所对应的路由成员确定为该待计算的线卡中符合转发需求的路由成员。
在一些实施方式中,所述路由结构包括端口,所述路由结构对应的端口标识与所述路由结构的质量评估值之间的对应关系包括:所述端口对应的端口标识与所述端口的端口质量评估值之间的第一对应关系。
相应的,步骤S221可以包括:根据所述待计算的线卡所发送的所述端口对应的端口标识与所述端口的端口质量评估值之间的第一对应关系,确定所述待计算的线卡的各路由成员的端口标识所对应的端口质量评估值。步骤S222可以包括:根据各所述端口质量评估值 确定所述待计算的线卡中符合转发需求的路由成员。
在一些实施方式中,所述路由结构还包括ETM队列,所述路由结构对应的端口标识与所述路由结构的质量评估值之间的对应关系还包括:所述ETM队列对应的端口标识与所述ETM队列的ETM队列质量评估值之间的第二对应关系。
ETM队列可以包括当前线卡的转发芯片的ETM为当前线卡的端口所配置的下行ETM队列。当路由结构同时包括端口和ETM队列时,相应的,线卡发送的质量评估信息即端口标识与质量评估值之间的对应关系,除包括端口对应的端口标识与所述端口的端口质量评估值之间的第一对应关系之外,还包括ETM队列对应的端口标识与所述ETM队列的ETM队列质量评估值之间的第二对应关系。
在一些实施方式中,步骤S221可以包括:根据所述待计算的线卡所发送的所述端口对应的端口标识与所述端口的端口质量评估值之间的第一对应关系和所述ETM队列对应的端口标识与所述ETM队列的ETM队列质量评估值之间的第二对应关系,确定所述待计算的线卡的各路由成员的端口标识所对应的端口质量评估值和ETM队列的ETM队列质量评估值。步骤S222可以包括:根据各所述端口质量评估值和各所述ETM队列质量评估值确定所述待计算的线卡中符合转发需求的路由成员。
对于待计算的线卡的每一路由成员,主控卡可以根据所述每一路由成员所对应的端口质量评估值和ETM队列质量评估值确定所述每一路由成员所对应的综合质量评估值,例如,在一些实施方式中,线卡可以利用以下公式计算综合质量评估值:
Q=Qp*We(p)+Qeq*We(eq);
Q为综合质量评估值;
Qp为端口质量评估值;
We(p)为预设的端口权重;
Qeq为ETM队列质量评估值;以及
We(eq)为预设的ETM队列权重。
最后,主控卡可以确定在各路由成员对应的综合质量评估值中 的最高值,将该最高值所对应的路由成员确定为符合转发需求的路由成员。
对于任一待计算的线卡,各个线卡中的其他线卡上可能为该待计算的线卡的各路由成员(包括端口)配置有FTM队列,因此,为了全面地评估该待计算的线卡中各路由成员的可用性程度,还需结合各个线卡中其他线卡发送的质量评估信息,以为该待计算的线卡选取符合转发需求的路由成员。
相应的,如图8所示,在一些实施方式中,针对任一待计算的线卡,所述步骤S22可以包括步骤S22’。
在步骤S22’中,根据所述待计算的线卡所发送的质量评估信息以及所述各个线卡中的其他线卡所发送的质量评估信息,确定所述待计算的线卡中符合转发需求的路由成员。
在一些实施方式中,所述路由结构包括端口和FTM队列,所述质量评估信息包括所述端口所对应的端口标识与所述端口的端口质量评估值之间的第一对应关系以及所述FTM队列所对应的端口标识与所述FTM队列的FTM队列质量评估值之间的第三对应关系。

相应的,如图9所示,在一些实施方式中,所述步骤S22’可以包括步骤S221’至S223’。
在步骤S221’中,根据所述待计算的线卡发送的所述第一对应关系,确定所述待计算的线卡的各路由成员的端口标识所对应的端口质量评估值。
在步骤S222’中,根据所述待计算的线卡发送的所述第三对应关系以及所述其他线卡发送的所述第三对应关系,确定所述待计算的线卡的各路由成员的端口标识所对应的各FTM队列质量评估值。
在步骤S223’中,根据所述待计算的线卡的各路由成员的端口 标识所对应的端口质量评估值和各FTM队列质量评估值,确定所述待计算的线卡中符合转发需求的路由成员。
针对任一待计算的线卡,主控卡可以确定任一LAG组或任一ECMP组中各路由成员的端口标识,根据各路由成员的端口标识,查询该待计算的线卡所发送的端口标识与端口质量评估值之间的第一对应关系,以分别确定各路由成员所对应的端口质量评估值。在一些实施方式中,主控卡可以根据各路由成员的端口标识,查询该待计算的线卡所发送的以及各个线卡中其他线卡所发送的端口标识与FTM队列质量评估值之间的第三对应关系,以分别确定各路由成员所对应的各FTM队列质量评估值。
对于每一路由成员,主控卡可以根据每一路由成员所对应的各FTM队列质量评估值确定每一路由成员所对应的FTM队列综合质量评估值。例如,在一些实施方式中,主控卡可以根据如下公式确定FTM队列综合质量评估值:FTM队列综合质量评估值=线卡1发送的port1FTM队列质量评估值+线卡2发送的port1FTM队列质量评估值+……+线卡n发送的port1FTM队列质量评估值,port1为当前路由成员的端口标识。进一步的,主控卡可以根据每一路由成员所对应的端口质量评估值和FTM队列综合质量评估值确定每一路由成员所对应的综合质量评估值,例如,在一些实施方式中,线卡可以利用以下公式计算综合质量评估值:
Q=Qp*We(p)+Qfq*We(fq);
Q为综合质量评估值;
Qp为端口质量评估值;
We(p)为预设的端口权重;
Qfq为FTM队列综合质量评估值;以及
We(fq)为预设的FTM队列权重。
最后,主控卡可以确定在各路由成员对应的综合质量评估值中的最高值,将该最高值所对应的路由成员确定为符合转发需求的路由成员。

以下结合三个具体实例来对本公开提供的报文转发方法进行详细说明。
实例一:基于端口的负载数据选择路由成员。
在每个转发周期中:
线卡获取本线卡上所有端口的负载数据,该负载数据包括端口带宽和端口发包数量。具体的,线卡采集各端口的端口发包数量,获取预先配置的各端口的端口带宽。
对于每一端口,线卡根据该端口的端口发包数量计算端口发包速率,根据端口发包速率和端口带宽计算该端口在当前转发周期的初始平均负载指数;根据该端口在当前转发周期的所述初始平均负载指数以及该端口在上一转发周期的最终平均负载指数计算该端口在当前转发周期的最终平均负载指数;根据该端口在当前转发周期的最终平均负载指数和端口带宽计算该端口的端口质量评估值,并生成该端口的端口标识与端口质量评估值之间的第一对应关系(即端口的质量评估信息)。
线卡将质量评估信息采用如图4所示的报文格式发送至主控卡,消息头包括消息类型字段、消息子类型字段和消息长度字段,消息类型字段用于指示本报文为质量评估信息通知消息,消息子类型字段用于指示本报文通知的为端口的质量评估信息。
主控卡接收到各个线卡发送的各质量评估信息后,针对任一待计算的线卡,主控卡逐一确定该待计算的线卡的各LAG组或各ECMP组中各路由成员中的符合转发需求的路由成员。具体的,主控卡确定当前LAG组或当前ECMP组中各路由成员的端口标识,根据各路由成员的端口标识,查询该待计算的线卡所发送的端口标识与端口质量评估值之间的第一对应关系,以分别确定各路由成员所对应的端口质量评估值。主控卡确定在各路由成员所对应的端口质量评估值中的最高值,将该最高值所对应的路由成员确定为符合转发需求的路由成员。
主控卡分别向各个线卡通知各LAG组或各ECMP组中的符合转发需求的路由成员。
各个线卡根据主控卡通知的各LAG组或各ECMP组的符合转发需求的路由成员,更新本地转发芯片的目标路由成员表项。
当需要通过某一LAG组或某一ECMP组中的路由成员进行报文转发时,线卡的转发芯片查询目标路由成员表项以确定当前的符合转发需求的路由成员,通过该符合转发需求的路由成员转发报文。需要说明的是,若存在报文流还未被转发完毕,且目标路由成员表项发生变化导致线卡查询到的符合转发需求的路由成员发生变化,则线卡可以在保证报文流不乱序的情况下,通过更新后的符合转发需求的路由成员继续转发报文。
实例二:基于端口的负载数据和ETM队列的负载数据选择路由成员。
在每个转发周期中:

对于每一端口的ETM队列,线卡根据该ETM队列的ETM队列丢包门限和ETM队列深度计算该ETM队列在当前转发周期的初始平均负载指数;根据该ETM队列在当前转发周期的所述初始平均负载指数以 及该ETM队列在上一转发周期的最终平均负载指数计算该ETM队列在当前转发周期的最终平均负载指数;根据该ETM队列在当前转发周期的最终平均负载指数和ETM队列的队列丢包门限计算该ETM队列的ETM队列质量评估值,并生成该ETM队列的端口标识与ETM队列质量评估值之间的第二对应关系(即ETM队列的质量评估信息)。

针对任一待计算的线卡,主控卡接收到各个线卡发送的各质量评估信息后,逐一确定该待计算的线卡的各LAG组或各ECMP组中各路由成员中的符合转发需求的路由成员。具体的,主控卡确定当前LAG组或当前ECMP组中各路由成员的端口标识,根据各路由成员的端口标识,查询该待计算的线卡所发送的端口标识与端口质量评估值之间的第一对应关系以及端口标识与ETM队列质量评估值之间的第二对应关系,以分别确定各路由成员所对应的端口质量评估值和ETM队列质量评估值。对于该任一待计算的线卡的任一路由成员,主控卡可以根据当前路由成员所对应的端口质量评估值和ETM队列质量评估值确定该路由成员所对应的综合质量评估值:综合质量评估值=端口质量评估值*端口权重+ETM队列质量评估值*队列权重。主控卡将各LAG组或各ECMP组中具有最高的综合质量评估值的路由成员确定为符合转发需求的路由成员。
主控卡分别向各个线卡通知各LAG组或各ECMP组中的符合转发需求的路由成员。
各个线卡根据主控卡通知的各LAG组或各ECMP组的符合转发需求的路由成员,更新本地转发芯片的目标路由成员表项。
当需要通过某一LAG组或某一ECMP组中的路由成员进行报文转发时,线卡的转发芯片查询目标路由成员表项以确定当前的符合转发需求的路由成员,通过该符合转发需求的路由成员转发报文。需要说 明的是,若存在报文流还未被转发完毕,且目标路由成员表项发生变化导致线卡查询到的符合转发需求的路由成员发生变化,则线卡可以在保证报文流不乱序的情况下,通过更新后的符合转发需求的路由成员继续转发报文。
