Embodiment
The present invention is described in further detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.
Fig. 1 is a present embodiment Link Trace process schematic diagram, sets up as figure T-MPLS node networking business, and integrated network management system NMS (Network Management System) is linked in this network, any T-MPLS node on can supervising the network.T-MPLS A node among the figure relates generally to the flow process of following several parts to finishing link tracing by LTM (Link Trace Message, Linktrace Message) and LTR (Link TraceRespond, link tracing response) between the T-MPLSD node:
The first, the LTM protocol massages sends handling process, as shown in Figure 3, may further comprise the steps:
Step 310, webmaster distribution configuration command start the LT operation;
Step 320, Local MEP (claiming starting point MEP again) structure LT request message LTM (Link TraceMessage), the source address of specifying this LTM message is the address of Local MEP, and destination address is certain MEP address of webmaster appointment, generates a LT ID value simultaneously and is used to identify the LTM message;
The LTM message need specify a LT ID sign to come this request message of local unique identification, and this keeps a regularly ageing process after being identified at generation, promptly should identify deleted when the set time arrives.If ageing time expires, LT ID can be deleted, reports the webmaster link may have fault simultaneously.
The T-MPLS OAM label value of LTM message is a fixed value, and it is an OAM message that this label value is used to identify this message, and TTL (Time to Live, the message jumping figure) value in the label is set to fixedly discre value A.
Step 330, Local MEP is searched the outbound port of LTM message according to destination address, and this LTM message is sent along the service message sending direction.
The second, the T-MPLS node device port receives the LTM protocol massages and sends LTR (Link TraceRespond) protocol massages and sends handling process, as shown in Figure 4, may further comprise the steps:
Step 410 after T-MPLS node device (MIP or MEP) port receives the LTM protocol massages, is at first judged the LTM legitimacy;
For MIP, if judge that the ttl value of current reception message is certain fixedly discre value A, the A value is by agreement or standard protocol specifies between the T-MPLS node, and the A value is 0 * 02 among Fig. 4, then thinks legal LTM message;
For MEP, conform to the MEP address of present node if judge the destination address of current reception message, think that then this LTM message is legal;
Step 420, T-MPLS node device (MIP or MEP) generates LT back message using LTR, and the port parameter information that this node receives the LTM message added in the LTR message, the destination address of LTR back message using is the MEP address, source in the LTM message, ttl value in the label is revised as fixed value B (the B value is by system's agreement or consensus standard regulation), and sends this LTR message from receiving port;
Step 430 after T-MPLS node device (MIP) sends the LTR message, continues transmitting along the service message downstream direction that the LTM message is not made an amendment.
If receiving the node of LTM protocol massages is MEP, then after step 410 has been verified the legitimacy of this LTM message, no longer transmit the LTM message to other nodes.
The 3rd, the T-MPLS node device port receives LTR protocol massages handling process, as shown in Figure 5, comprises the steps:
Step 510 after T-MPLS node device (MEP) receives the LTR protocol massages, is at first judged the LTR legitimacy, if the destination address of current reception message conforms to the MEP address of present node, then thinks legal LTR message;
If the destination address of LTR is not the address of present node self, then can not enter the handling process of handling LTR.
Step 520, the LT ID that LT ID in the extraction LTR message and Local MEP are safeguarded mates, and judges whether coupling is successful, if, carry out next step, otherwise, directly abandon this LTR response message, finish;
Step 530 is to network management system reporting links information.
If there is identical LT ID value, then think a legal LTR response.
Network management system forms the actual syntople information of specifying between the MEP according to the information that the T-MPLS node reports, and perhaps indicates the fault point of link.If certain MIP or MEP have had fault, the initial MEP that initiates LTM can not receive the LTR response of MIP or MEP, promptly knows where break down.
Above-mentioned protocol procedures moves in T-MPLS OAM Maintenance Entity.
As shown in Figure 2, be example with TA, TB, TC, TD node, by between TA to TD node, carrying out the LT operation, illustrate that the present invention realizes the embodiment of LT process in the T-MPLS network.
Specific embodiments comprises following process:
One, the TA node receives the network management configuration order, initiates the LT process, and the network management configuration order informs that node TA destination address is TD, and the TA node initiatively sends LTM message (LTM message structure such as table 1, reference is draft Y.17TOM) from port one;
The LTM message comprises following field at least:
Table 1
Y.17TOM OAM general message head (wherein type of message is LTM, and T-MPLS abel is a fixed value, and TTL is for fixing 0 * 02)
MEP address, source (node TA)
Purpose MEP address (node TD)
LT ID (by the TA node definition)
End TLV (ENMES sign)
Two, the TB node receives the LTM message that the TA node sends over from port one, construct the LTR back message using immediately, and send from port one, the MEP address, source of copy LTM message is as the destination address of LTR message, with the source address of TB address of node as the LTR message, the modification type of message is LTR, and with TTL (Time to Live, the message jumping figure) value is changed to fixed value 0x01, and other field values are not revised, and local port information is added among the Port TLV, Port TLV is a port information, use TLV (type length value, type, length, value) format identification (FID) information illustrates the descriptor of this port.Simultaneously the TB node judges that the destination address of this LTM message is not a local node, will receive then that the LTM message is intact to forward from port 2;
The LTR message comprises following field at least:
Table 2
Y.17TOM OAM general message head (wherein type of message is LTR, and T-MPLS Label is a fixed value, and TTL is for fixing 0 * 01)
MEP address, source (node TB)
Purpose MEP address (node TA)
LT?ID
Port?TLV
...
End?TLV
The TC node receives the processing procedure of LTM message with TB node processing process, TC is when structure LTR, with the MEP address, source of LTM message is the destination address of node TA address as the LTR message, with the source address of TC address of node as the LTR message, the LTR message that the TC node sends is transmitted by TB, TB can be forwarded to TA automatically and get on, because the purpose of this LTR is TA, TB can not discern this LTR message; It is identical with the TB node process that the TD node receives LTM message processing procedure, but the TD node judges that the destination node of this LTM message is for self node, so no longer transmit the LTM message.
Three, the TA node receives the response LTR message that returns of TB, TC, TD node from port one, analyzes the LTR message that receives, and obtains the syntople that TA node branch is clipped to TB, TC, TD node, and the place forms following list item at the TA node:
Table 3
Destination node TD
MIP address (node TB)
Ingress port information (port one) (inlet when referring to message) through TB
MIP address (node TC)
Ingress port information (port one) (inlet when referring to message) through TC
MEP address (node TD)
Ingress port information (port one) (inlet when referring to message) through TD
Ingress port information in the table is meant that LTM is at the inbound port of certain node or also be the outbound port of LTR from this node.
Four, the TA node is not received the LTR message of any corresponding coupling within a certain period of time, then can not form list item shown in the table 3.If the TA node is received the response LTR message of TB, TC, TD, then think can arrive TB, TC, TD node respectively, otherwise think that certain fault appears in link from the TA node, inconsistent with expected results.
Each node and port numbers are only as example in the present embodiment.
By LT method provided by the invention, can effectively follow the trail of the current actual conditions of link, obtain fast link syntople.Should be pointed out that the present invention also can have other multiple enforcement and extended mode.Under the situation that does not deviate from spirit and scope of the invention, those of ordinary skill in the art obviously can make various corresponding changes and expansion to the present invention, but these changes and expansion all should belong to the scope that claims of the present invention are protected.
For example, even if do not have MIP between two MEP, still can adopt the method for the invention to finish link tracing.
