In order to guarantee the correctness of framing, requirement can not the entanglement order in the PCIE switching network from the message of same cable card board, the reception cable card board need be discerned the message from the separate sources of switching equipment, therefore, receive the descending adaptation unit of cable card board and require to comprise a plurality of formations, as shown in Figure 8, the quantity that the quantitative requirement of formation is no less than cable card board and master control borad subtracts 1, the corresponding source ID of each formation, when the Requester id field in receiving the PCIE heading is identical with the source ID of this formation, the PCIE message enters this formation, has guaranteed finishing of framing.
The present invention also provides a kind of switching network communication implementation method, may further comprise the steps:
Step s101, master control borad carries out spatial configuration to the PCIE bus of PCIE crosspoint and cable card board.Wherein, the PCIE crosspoint provides a plurality of PCIE interfaces to be connected to the control unit of master control borad and cable card board, and the control unit of master control borad is configured by the space of PCIE bus to the PCIE of PCIE crosspoint and cable card board; The control unit of master control borad is communicated by letter by the control unit of Ethernet interface and cable card board, and cable card board routing address information is configured, and guarantees that different cable card boards can communicate by the PCIE crosspoint.Wherein, the control unit of master control borad is CPU, and the control unit of business board is CPU or NP or ASIC.
In addition, the PCIE crosspoint is visited addressing system for the message transmissions of different wiring boards according to the address, obtains to be no less than a VC and TC passage for each physical circuit, and optimum VC and the quantity of TC are no less than the quantity of system's Support Line clamp and master control borad; And,,, realize that classification handles the different data messages and the service message of different cable card boards perhaps with the mapping relations of data message perhaps with the mapping relations of cable card board by the corresponding relation of VC, TC and different physical channels is set, realize different QoS.
Step s102, cable card board carries out datum plane communication by the PCIE crosspoint.PCIE crosspoint carrying datum plane information, after the spatial configuration of master control borad to the PCIE bus of PCIE crosspoint and cable card board, each cable card board is directly finished forwarding of data by the PCIE crosspoint, need not to pass through master control borad, this distributed forwarding makes master control borad only do the business of control plane, thereby guarantee system high efficiency, reliability service, especially use two master control borads mutually as after the backup, the reliability of system is further strengthened.
Wherein, cable card board carries out datum plane communication can be divided into both direction, and one is up direction: send data by cable card board to the PCIE crosspoint; Another is a down direction, by the data of cable card board reception from the PCIE crosspoint.The PCIE message be will be converted to from the message of this cable card board control device at up direction, master control borad or other cable card board sent to by the PCIE crosspoint.Specifically comprise: the message that control device is sent splits into the message of a plurality of PCIE length-specifics, respectively a plurality of PCIE messages is added the PCIE heading, generates one group of PCIE message, sends to the PCIE crosspoint.Comprise the score clamp address and the precedence information that carry in the message of control device transmission in the PCIE heading.
Receive master control borad or other cable card board by the PCIE message that the PCIE crosspoint sends at down direction, be converted to the adaptive message of control device and send to control device.Specifically comprise: will store into respectively from the PCIE message of other cable card board and master control borad in the different formations; PCIE message from the PCIE crosspoint in each formation is removed the PCIE heading, obtain the PCIE message of one group of full-length; The message that then the PCIE message is assembled into adaptive control device sends to control device.
Because PCIE standard criterion regulation, the maximum message segment length of PCIE crosspoint support is the 4K byte, message length changes in the scope of 0 to 4K byte, the message burst changes bigger, impact to the PCIE crosspoint is bigger, is easy to cause the PCIE crosspoint congested or efficient is low, therefore, require adaptive device that the message that receives was split before entering the PCIE crosspoint in the embodiment of the invention, as be split as length-specifics such as length 128 bytes or 256 bytes.Message after the fractionation has been added the PCIE heading, so that constitute the PCIE message of standard, can be identified and transmit in the PCIE crosspoint.In addition on the one hand, be packaged into the PCIE message when being forwarded to the another one cable card board, this cable card board adaptive device must can be discerned the PCIE message, and the message of fractionation is carried out framing, and framing becomes original message in the control corresponding device.
For simplified design, guarantee with the quality services that satisfies Business Processing in order to reduce the bus adapter cost simultaneously, the embodiment of the invention has been simplified the processing layer data message routing mode that defines in the PCIE standard, only need to support the memory write mode, this mode can guarantee that the PCIE bandwidth obtains optimum utilance, and for the message transmissions of different wiring boards according to based on address visit addressing system.For simplified design, do not do any identification for the processing layer data message that control device sends out, only need be used as payload (Payload) to message and handle, to the control device that is forwarded to the another one cable card board, the PCIE crosspoint for the processing layer message just as a tunnel.
Below with slice length be 256 bytes be example to message split, PCIE heading encapsulation process, and PCIE message framing process describes, as shown in Figure 9.The payload that sends to all messages (except last message of section) of PCIE crosspoint all is 256 bytes, the address information that comprises in the PCIE heading increases by 256 successively, after the PCIE crosspoint receives the PCIE message, address information according to message is forwarded on the corresponding cable card board, after cable card board receives message, go into different formations according to the source ID that carries in the message PCIE heading (number forming) by the Bus number of transmitting terminal, device number, function.Adaptive device can judge whether a complete framing according to following three kinds of measures: the address is not to increase continuously 256 o'clock in the PCIE heading, is a framing ENMES; The PCIE message length is a framing ENMES during less than 256 bytes; Though the address is continuous, message length is 256 bytes, does not receive next message in the scheduled time, is a framing ENMES.
Figure 10 is the data message form of PCIE standard specification definition, the Address address field of the corresponding Figure 10 of the address information of Fig. 7 and Fig. 9, Requester ID is the data that the Bus number, device number, function of the port number are formed, so that come out from the PCIE crosspoint at message, adaptive device enters different formations according to the message separate sources, is convenient to framing.
Further, in order to guarantee the autgmentability backward of system, protection user's investment, adaptive device and control device can be integrated or separate in the embodiment of the invention.When high performance control device based on the PCIE interface occurs, in current cable card board, use the expansion control device of band PCIE interface.As two cable card boards in Figure 11 left side, by using the control device of band expansion, can compatible current system, use the control device of expansion in these two cable card boards respectively, the control device that this control device is integrated among the present invention and the function of adaptive device, support the physical layer and the link layer protocol of PCIE terminal, have section and the framing function of finishing message, when this cable card board will send message, control device is cut into 256 byte-sized to the message that will send, encapsulation PCIE heading, and same message address increases by 256, carries the PCIE source id information of this veneer in the heading.Split encapsulation and send over and original cable card board is the Ethernet message of XGMII interface by switching network, after control device receives message, address and PCIE source id information according to the PCIE heading, message stores in the different memory headrooms, finishes the framing of message by software or hardware.
In addition, in order to guarantee the stability of system, when detecting data channel and break down, the notice master control borad is communicated by letter datum plane with cable card board and is switched to the Ethernet crosspoint; When detecting control channel and breaking down, the notice master control borad is communicated by letter control plane with cable card board and is switched to the PCIE crosspoint.
The embodiment of the invention is simplified the PCIE bus design by tunneling technique, reduces the QoS of adaptive cost of bus and raising entire switching network; And by realizing that in adaptive device the cable card board message splits and framing, and the message that makes fractionation is nested in the PCIE Frame fully, thereby the control device of cable card board is freed fully from the PCIE agreement, improved the utilance of control device, and the message after splitting more helps transmitting in the PCIE switching network, reduce the burst transfer bandwidth, guaranteed the stability of switching network, provide reliable switched environment for service quality guarantees service.
