The control plane mode realizes the service protection against the multi-path fault, on one hand, the SPC/SC service is required to be established, and the protection against the multi-path fault of the PC service is not realized; on the other hand, the protection realized by rerouting can not meet the requirement of large-capacity service in the switching time.
In order to solve the above problem, embodiments of the present invention provide a path protection method and system.

The hardoff time of the protection group of the inner layer (namely, the number is closer to the front) is shorter, and the hardoff time of the protection group of the outer layer (namely, the number is closer to the back) is longer.
And (N + 4) step, after the protection group and the logic transit are configured according to the steps, the fault resistance of the N +1 paths can be realized, and the service can be protected as long as any one of the W path and the PN +1 path has no fault.
The second embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
The embodiment of the invention provides a path protection method, which realizes multi-path protection by forming an ODUK1+1 protection group by a working path and each protection path in sequence.
When there is one working path W and N +1 protection paths, protection group configuration and logic transfer configuration are required, as shown in fig. 2, after the above contents are configured completely, as long as there is any one path between the working path W and the N +1 protection paths without failure, the service can be transmitted without loss.
The path protection method provided by the embodiment of the invention comprises the following steps:
in the first step, an ODUK1+1 protection group PG1 is formed by the first working W and the first protection path P1 at an ODUK layer, a selector is set in a logical relay L1, a receiving port of a logical relay L1 resource is R1, and a transmitting port is S1, so that a point selected by the selector of the PG1 is R1.
In the second step, a sending point S1 of the logical relay L1 and the 2 nd protection path P2 form an ODUK1+1 group PG2 in the ODUK layer, the selector is set in the logical relay L2, the receiving port of the logical relay L2 resource is R2, and the sending port is S2, so that the point selected by the selector of the PG2 is R2.
……
And step N, forming an ODUK1+1 PGN by a sending point SN-1 of the logic transit LN-1 and an Nth protection path PN on an ODUK layer, setting a selector on the logic transit LN, wherein a receiving port of the logic transit LN resource is RN, a sending port is SN, and therefore a point selected and received by the selector of the PGN is RN.
And (N + 1) step, forming an ODUK1+1 group PGN +1 by the sending point SN of the logic intermediate transfer LN and the (N + 1) th protection path PN +1 on the ODUK layer, and arranging a selector on a service downlink unit to realize service downlink.
And (N + 2) looping back the receiving port and the sending port of the logic transfer L1 to LN in sequence to realize alarm transmission of the receiving port and the sending port.
And (N + 3), sequentially setting the hardoff time from PG2 to PGN +1 protection groups as T, and realizing protection nesting.
And (N + 4) step, after the protection group and the logic transit are configured according to the steps, the fault resistance of the N +1 paths can be realized, and the service can be protected as long as any one of the W path and the PN +1 path has no fault.
The third embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The following description will take a method of implementing 2-path failure resistance by 3 routes as an example. A line side board received by a working path is named as W, a line side board received by a protection path 1 is named as P1, a line side board received by a protection path 2 is named as P2, a cross unit is named as DXC, two DXC logic models in the figure are the same cross unit in physical form, a service downlink unit, namely a client side board, is named as C, a logic transfer unit is named as L1, the logic transfer may be an ODUK resource on any one service board, an L1 sending point S1 corresponds to an ODUK dispatch receiving port, and an L1 receiving point R1 corresponds to an ODUK dispatch sending port.
The method comprises the following steps: as shown in fig. 3.
In the first step, an ODUK1+1 protection group PG1 is formed by P1 and P2, a selector is set in a logical transit L1, a receiving port of a logical transit L1 resource is R1, and a transmitting port is S1, so that a point selected by the selector of PG1 is R1.
In the second step, W and a sending point S1 of the logic transit L1 form an ODUK1+1 protection group PG2, and the selector is set in the drop unit C, so that the service is dropped.
Third, loopback is set on a sending port S1 and a receiving port R1 of the logical transfer L1, after loopback, ODU information received by the S1 can be synchronously transmitted to the R1 port, and a packet is sent to the DXC, and if the packet received by the S1 has an alarm, the R1 port can detect the same alarm and report the same alarm to the controller of the PG2, so as to trigger switching of the protection group of the PG 2.
And step four, setting the hardoff time of the protection group PG1 to be 0, the hardoff time of the PG2 to be T, the value standard of T to be PG1 protection switching time, and proposing the value to be 20ms, so that the PG2 is prevented from being triggered to switch when the PG1 switches.
And fifthly, under the condition that any two paths of the working path, the protection path 1 and the protection path 2 are in fault, the service flow can be ensured not to be damaged. For example, when a working path fails first, W detects an alarm and reports the alarm to the controller of PG2, since the holdoff time of PG2 is T (20ms), PG2 does not switch, after waiting for T (20ms), the fault of W is detected to still exist, at this time, PG2 switches, and switches to S1 in a cross manner, at this time, the cross of PG1 still remains at P1, and thus the entire traffic flow is switched to protection path 1; when the protection path 1 fails again, both P1 and S1 detect the failure and report the alarm to the controllers of PG1 and PG2, respectively, after the controller of PG1 receives the alarm, because the hardoff time of PG1 is 0, PG1 switches directly, cross switching of PG1 to P2, after the controller of PG2 receives the alarm, because the hardoff time of PG2 is T (20ms), PG2 does not switch, after waiting for T (20ms), the failure of S1 is detected to disappear (because PG1 has switched over), PG2 does not switch, and therefore the whole traffic flow is switched to the protection path 2.
The second method comprises the following steps: as shown in fig. 4.
In the first step, W and P1 form an ODUK1+1 protection group PG1, a selector is set in a logical relay L1, a receiving port of a logical relay L1 resource is R1, and a transmitting port is S1, so that a point selected by the selector of PG1 is R1.
In the second step, the sending point S1 and P2 of the logical transfer L1 form an ODUK1+1 protection group PG2, and the selector is set in the drop unit C, and the service is dropped.
Third, loopback is set on a sending port S1 and a receiving port R1 of the logical transfer L1, after loopback, ODU information received by S1 can be synchronously transmitted to an R1 port and sent to the DXC, and if the message received by S1 has an alarm, the R1 port can detect the same alarm and report the same alarm to the controller of PG2, so as to trigger switching of the protection group of PG 2.
And step four, setting the hardoff time of the protection group PG1 to be 0, the hardoff time of the PG2 to be T, the value standard of T to be PG1 protection switching time, and proposing the value to be 20ms, so that the PG2 is prevented from being triggered to switch when the PG1 switches.
And fifthly, under the condition that any two paths of the working path, the protection path 1 and the protection path 2 are in fault, the service flow can be ensured not to be damaged. For example, when a working path fails first, both W and S1 detect an alarm and report the alarm to controllers of PG1 and PG2, respectively, since the holdoff time of PG1 is 0, PG1 switches, PG1 switches to P1 in a cross manner, since the holdoff time of PG2 is T (20ms), the controller of PG2 does not switch after receiving the alarm, and after waiting for T (20ms), it detects that the fault of S1 has disappeared (since PG1 has switched completely), PG2 does not switch, and thus the entire traffic flow is switched to protection path 1; when the protection path 1 fails again, both W and S1 detect an alarm and report the alarm to the controllers of PG1 and PG2, respectively, since the holdoff time of PG1 is 0, PG1 switches, PG1 switches to W in a cross manner, since the holdoff time of PG2 is T (20ms), the controller of PG2 does not switch after receiving the alarm, and after waiting for T (20ms), the controller of PG2 detects that the fault of S1 still exists (since PG1 fails in both operation and protection, and the service still fails after switching), PG2 switches, and PG2 switches to P2 in a cross manner, so that the whole traffic flow is switched to the protection path 2.
The fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
The invention provides a path protection method, and the flow of completing the protection of a plurality of paths by using the method is shown in figure 5, which comprises the following steps:
501, dividing a plurality of protection groups to form a nested structure;
in this step, a working path and N protection paths are divided into N protection groups in an optical channel data unit ODUK layer, where the nth protection group includes an N-1 th protection group and a protection path to which no other protection group is added, and N is greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to N-1.
For the 1 st protection group and the nth protection group, there are two dividing ways, which are specifically as follows:
the first method is as follows:
dividing a working path and a protection path into a 1 st protection group;
the (N-1) th protection group and one protection path are divided into an Nth protection group.
The second method comprises the following steps:
dividing two protection paths into a 1 st protection group;
and the working path and the (N-1) th protection group are used as an Nth protection group.
After the protection groups are divided, constructing a logic transfer for each protection group, wherein the logic transfer comprises a sending port and a receiving port; and looping back the transmitting port and the receiving port of each logic relay in sequence, so that the information transmitted by the transmitting port of the logic relay of any protection group is received by the receiving ports of the logic relays of other protection groups.
Corresponding hardoff times also need to be set for each protection group. Specifically, according to the sequence of n values from low to high, the hold time corresponding to each protection group is set from small to large. Therefore, the holdoff time of the group of the outer layer (with larger n value) is longer, the working state can be detected by the outer layer only after the alarm is removed after the inner layer switching is completed, and the alarm is removed because the inner layer switching, the alarm cannot be detected by the outer layer, and the system disorder caused by multiple times of switching cannot be carried out.
Step 502, when the n-1 th protection group detects that the current working path in the protection group has a fault, starting the count-down of the hardoff time of the n-1 th protection group, and sending an alarm signal;
the current working path is a path of a nested (n-1) th protection group or a protection path of the nth protection group.
Step 503, when the nth protection group detects the alarm signal sent by the (n-1) th protection group, starting the count-down of the hardoff time of the nth protection group.
And step 504, after the time of the holdoff time of the (n-1) th protection group is counted down, the (n-1) th protection group is switched in the protection group.
Step 505, after the count-down time of the nth protection group is up, detecting whether the alarm signal still exists;
and when the switching in the (n-1) th protection group is finished, if a fault still exists, the alarm signal is still sent out continuously. At this time, the nth to nth protection groups may continue to detect the alarm signal to determine whether switching needs to be performed in the group.
When the switching in the (n-1) th protection group is finished, the switched path has no fault and can normally transmit the service data, the (n-1) th protection group does not send out the alarm signal any more.
Step 506, when the alarm signal is no longer detected, maintaining the original working state in the nth protection group.
And 507, when the alarm signal can still be detected, switching from the path of the nested (n-1) th protection group to the protection path in the nth protection group.
In addition, for two different dividing manners of the 1 st and nth protection groups in step 501, the processing strategies are different, specifically as follows:
for the first mode: when the working path has a fault, the 1 st protection group sends an alarm signal and starts the countdown of the holdoff time corresponding to the 1 st protection group;
and after the countdown of the holdoff time corresponding to the 1 st protection group is up, switching from the working path to the protection path in the 1 st protection group.
When an alarm signal sent by a path nested with an (N-1) th protection group or a protection path in the Nth protection group is detected to have a fault, starting corresponding holdoff time countdown by the Nth protection group;
and the Nth protection group detects the state of the path of the nested (N-1) th protection group with the fault or the protection path in the Nth protection group after the countdown is up, and carries out switching in the Nth protection group when the fault still exists.
For the second mode: when any protection path in the 1 st protection group has a fault, the 1 st protection group sends out an alarm signal and starts the countdown of the holdoff time of the 1 st protection group;
and after the 1 st protection group counts down the corresponding holdoff time, switching in the 1 st protection group.
When the working path fails, the Nth protection group starts corresponding holdoff time countdown;
and after the countdown of the corresponding holdoff time by the Nth protection group is up, switching from the working path to the path of the nested (N-1) th protection group in the Nth protection group.
