Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of data communication technologies, and in particular, to a method, a system, and a central network device for implementing uninterrupted service upgrade.
Background
As the role of network applications in life becomes increasingly important, the brief interruption of some critical networks can also cause significant losses. Therefore, the requirement of users on the reliability of the operating system of the network equipment is higher and higher, and the network equipment is required to have longer continuous operation time. Software upgrading is also a common operation of network equipment, and it is important for the network equipment to ensure that services are not interrupted during software upgrading. The ISSU (In-Service Software Upgrade, uninterrupted Service) refers to upgrading Software on a network device without shutdown or interrupting network Service, and is a high-reliability Software starting mode for upgrading device, and Service is guaranteed not to be interrupted In the upgrading process.
The ISSU allows a network administrator to handle software errors or add new functionality to network devices (e.g., switches, routers, etc.) without interrupting network availability. The ISSU saves the trouble of restarting the entire device. However, the ISSU provided by the network device varies according to the vendor. Often the ISSU requires a network device with a redundant control panel, such as a monitoring engine or routing engine. Thus, a network administrator can update the software image on one machine while other machines can support normal network services. Depending on the architecture of a particular provider, other functions of the network device must also be restarted, which may result in degradation of network service functions. However, the impact of such network outages can be minimized if the network administrator is able to configure the execution of the ISSU appropriately.
Under the networking environment of a branch center, a central network device and branch devices deploy network services in an isomorphic mode, software function modules of the central network device and the branch devices are equivalent, performances of the central network device and the branch devices are different, the number of the branch devices is large, and if all the branch devices are required to be upgraded due to one software function module, the existing implementation modes include the following modes: 1) the branch equipment is deployed in a main-standby mode, the backup equipment is upgraded firstly, then the service is switched to the backup equipment, then the main equipment is upgraded, and finally the service is switched back to the main equipment; 2) if the branch equipment has the chip forwarding capability, the operating system on the branch equipment can be upgraded, the software operating system is restarted, and the chip continues forwarding; 3) and upgrading the process of the branch equipment, firstly performing process replacement, and then restarting the process.
The upgrading mode in the existing networking adopting the branch center is complex, and no matter which method is adopted, due to the fact that restarting is involved, the influence on the service is hardly guaranteed. In addition, under the networking environment of the branch center, the workload of upgrading is huge due to the large number of branches, the probability of upgrading problems is increased, and the influence surface is enlarged.
In summary, how to design an upgrade scheme with small workload and high reliability in a branch center networking environment is an urgent problem to be solved.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1, a schematic diagram of a network architecture for implementing an uninterrupted service upgrade system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a central network device 11 disposed in a central network and branch devices 12 disposed in multiple branch networks, where the central network device 11 and the branch devices 12 are deployed in a heterogeneous manner. The central network device 11 is configured to carry a software function module that supports the service without interrupting the ISS U when upgrading in the branch device 12; receiving the service messages of the software function module supporting the ISSU, which are transmitted by each terminal device connected with the branch device 12 and forwarded by the branch device 12, and processing the service messages; the branch device 12 is configured to forward the service packet of the software function module supporting ISSU sent by each terminal device to the central network device 11 for processing after receiving the service packet; the central network device 11 is further configured to, when the software function module supporting ISSU needs to be upgraded, execute an upgrade operation on the software function module needing to support ISSU.
As a preferred embodiment, the central network device 11 is specifically configured to: for the determined software function modules supporting ISSU, corresponding virtualized network functions VNF are respectively created, and the branch device 12 is notified.
As a preferred embodiment, the central network device 12 is specifically configured to: when the software function module supporting the ISSU needs to be upgraded, creating a new VNF instance for a VNF corresponding to the software function module supporting the ISSU to be upgraded, loading a new software version on the new VNF instance, and migrating the service message of the software function module supporting the ISSU to the new VNF instance.
As a preferred embodiment, the branch device 12 is specifically configured to, after receiving the service packet of the software function module supporting ISSU sent by each terminal device, forward the service packet to the central network device 11 for processing according to a data channel established in advance with the central network device 11.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the central Network device 11 adopts a framework of a general service platform (for example, an existing Network service processing point NSPP of the applicant), and all software functional modules that need to support ISSU on the branch devices 12 are collectively deployed on the central Network device 11 as a virtualized Network function (VNF for short), different VNFs are loosely coupled, and the restart of one VNF does not affect another VNF. Therefore, when the functions of these software function modules are updated subsequently, it is only necessary to ensure that the upgrade of the central network device 11 is finished with ISSU.
As shown in fig. 2, a schematic diagram of a network architecture for implementing an uninterrupted service upgrade system is provided for the embodiment of the present invention, and compared with the network architecture for implementing an uninterrupted service upgrade system shown in fig. 1, a controller 10 disposed on the central network side is added. The controller 10 in the embodiment of the present invention is configured to send an instruction to the central network device 11, where the instruction is used to instruct a software function module in the branch device 12 that supports uninterrupted ISSU service during upgrading; the central network device 11 is specifically configured to determine, according to the instruction, software function modules that support ISSU in the branch device 12, and create corresponding virtualized network functions VNF for the determined software function modules that support ISSU, respectively. The controller 10 is configured to manage a VNF on the central network device 11, where the VNF includes creation, deletion, start, stop, restart, and obtaining state information, and the controller 10 sends an instruction for managing the VNF to the central network device 11 through a northbound interface, where the central network device 11 is a carrier on which the VNF operates. As an embodiment, the controller 10 may send an instruction to manage the VNF to the central network device 11 by using the Netconf protocol through the northbound interface.
As shown in fig. 3, a flowchart of a method for implementing uninterrupted service upgrade according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:
In this step, the central network device creates, according to a user configuration instruction or an instruction for creating a VNF from the controller, corresponding virtualized network function VNFs for the software function modules supporting ISSU in the determined branch device, respectively. Specifically, the VNF in the embodiment of the present invention operates in a virtual machine mode, and a general creation process includes processes of creating a virtual machine, loading software to the virtual machine, and the like.
With reference to fig. 1, the central network device 11 determines, according to a user instruction (user configuration), which ones of the software functional modules supporting ISSU in the branch device are, and deploys these software functional modules on the central network device 11 in the form of VNF. With reference to fig. 2, after the controller 10 sends an upgrade instruction of a software function module that needs to support ISSU in a branch network device 12 disposed on a central network device 11 to the central network device 11, the central network device 11 creates a new VNF instance for a VNF corresponding to the software function module that supports ISSU to be upgraded, and after loading a new software version on the new VNF instance, migrates a service packet of the software function module that supports ISSU to the new VNF instance.
In this embodiment, when a user configures, on the controller 10, a software function module that needs to support ISSU on the branch device, it may be determined that the central network device 11 needs to support a software function module of a service of a VNF, for example, the central network device 11 configures, on the controller 10, a software function module a and a software function module B that need to support ISSU, and the controller 10 sends an instruction to notify the central network device 11 of creating an instruction of VNF-a and VNF-B, so that the central network device 11 completes creating VNF-a and VNF-B. The VNF-a creation flow is taken as an example for explanation: the controller 10 informs the central network device 11 to create A VNF-A and the message carries the VNF to be created, here i.e. the VNF-A and the software system IOS-A-1 of this VNF. After obtaining the creation message, the central network device 11 calls an interface for creating A virtual machine to complete the creation of the virtual machine, calls A loading interface to load the IOS-A-1 software on the virtual machine, and completes the startup, so that the creation process of the VNF-A is completed, and the creation process of the VNF-B is similar to the process of the VNF-A. During the operation of the VNF-A and the VNF-B, the VNF controller periodically acquires the state information of the VNF from a northbound interface provided by the VNF-A and the VNF-B.
In the implementation of the present invention, the software function modules required to support ISSU on the branch device 12 are generally closer to layers 4 to 7 of the OSI seven-layer protocol architecture, because the closer to the user, the higher the possibility of the software function requirement change, such as the firewall function module. It should be noted that not one software function module in the branch device 12 corresponds to one VNF on the central network device 11, and may be considered specifically according to the software function scale, for example, if a and B are two simple small software function modules, a and B may be merged into one VNF, and if a and B are a firewall software function set and a router software function set, respectively, two VNFs may be considered to be established.
It should be noted that, after the local deployment of the software function module supporting the ISSU is completed on the central network device 11, the message identification rule corresponding to the service message of the software function module supporting the ISSU is issued to the branch device through the control channel established between the branch device 12 and the central network device, so that the notification to the branch device can be completed. The message identification rule in the embodiment of the present invention may be organized in an access control list manner, and the branch device 12 stores the message identification rule after receiving the message identification rule sent by the central network device 11.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the software functional modules that need to support ISSU are separated from the software system on the side of the branch device 12, and are deployed on the central network device 11 in the VNF form according to a direct user instruction (user configuration) or an instruction sent by the controller based on the user instruction, so that the stability of the software system of the branch device can be ensured, and the software system of the branch device is not frequently updated due to a change in the user's requirement.
In this step, after receiving the service packet of the software function module supporting ISSU sent by each terminal device, the branch device forwards the service packet to the central network device for processing according to the data channel established with the central network device in advance.
Specifically, the description will be made with reference to fig. 1 and 2. The branch device 12 receives a service message sent from the LAN side terminal device, matches the local message identification rule, and if the message identification result shows that the service message needs to be processed by the software function module a, tunnel-encapsulates the service message, where the tunnel header carries an identifier of the software function module a, the destination address is the address of the central network device 11, the source address is the exit address of the branch device 12, and after encapsulation, the branch device 12 sends the service message to the central network device through a data channel pre-established with the central network device 11. If the message identification result shows that the service message needs to be subjected to service processing by the software function module B, the service message is subjected to tunnel encapsulation, the tunnel head carries the identifier of the software function module B, the destination address is the address of the central network device 11, the source address is the exit address of the branch device 12, and after encapsulation is completed, the branch device 12 goes through a complete forwarding flow through a data channel pre-established with the central network device 11, and forwards the service message to the central network device 11.
The example of the branch device 12 establishing a GRE tunnel with the central network device 11 in advance is described. The branch device 12 encapsulates the GRE header to the original user service message, where the destination address of the GRE header is the address of the central network device 11, the source address is the address of the outlet of the branch device 12, and the Reserved field Reserved0 is used to identify that the message needs to be handed to the software function module a for service processing. Similarly, if the user service message hits ACL-B, the Reserved0 field in the GRE header is only used to identify that the message needs to be handed to software function module B for service processing.
It should be noted that, if the service packet does not hit the service packet identification rule (such as ACL-a and ACL-B) notified by the central network device, it indicates that the service packet does not need to be sent to the central network device for processing, and the service packet is processed locally at the branch device, and at this time, the packet goes through the local packet forwarding process.
In this step, when the software function module supporting ISSU needs to be upgraded, the central network device creates a new VNF instance for a VNF corresponding to the software function module supporting ISSU to be upgraded, and after a new software version is loaded on the new VNF instance, migrates a service packet of the software function module supporting ISSU to the new VNF instance.
This step will be described in detail with reference to fig. 2. If the software function module A needs to be updated, if the software of the software function module A needs to be updated to IOS-A-2, the controller 10 sends an instruction that the software function module A needs to make an ISSU to the central network device, where the instruction carries the software IOS-A-2 after the VNF-A corresponding to the software function module A is upgraded. After receiving the V NF-a ISSU command sent by the controller 10, the central network device 11 analyzes the updated IOS: IOS-A-2; copying a copy of the running VNF-A to identify the VNF-A-2, wherein the software IOS running in the VNF-A corresponding to the software function module A is also the old IOS: IOS-A-1. By loading A new IOS-A-2 to the VNF-A-2, restarting the VNF-A-2, and after the VNF-A-2 is restarted, the central network device 11 stops the VNF-A, so that all the service packets of the software function module A are processed on the new VNF, i.e., the VNF-A-2, and the whole ISSU process is finished.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a block diagram of a central network device 11 according to an embodiment of the present application, where the central network device 11 includes:
