Description
Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to the field of computer network technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for forwarding a packet between service boards.
Background
The network device is usually configured with a plurality of service boards, wherein different service boards are used for performing different processing on the message, and therefore, a specific message processing flow can be realized by a specific service board path. The main control board of the network device usually determines a corresponding message processing flow according to the type of the received message, and also determines a service board path through which the message needs to pass.

Specifically, the master control board sends an inter-board forwarding table to each service board according to the correspondence between different message types and different service board paths. For any service board card path (assumed to include N service board cards), in the process of a message flowing through the service board card path, each service board card in the first N-1 service board cards queries its own inter-board forwarding table according to the type of the message, so as to forward the processed message to the next service board card, and the nth service board card forwards the processed message to a certain output interface of the network device.
However, there is a need for a method for forwarding messages between service boards with lower latency.

Detailed Description
As the demand for communication services increases, technicians improve the traditional networking mode to concentrate various service processes on one network device, as shown in fig. 1. In order to satisfy multiple service processing flows, the network device has multiple service board cards, where different service board cards are used to implement different message processing, and a specific service board card path is used to implement a specific message processing flow. The main control board of the network device usually determines a corresponding message processing flow according to the type of the received message, and also determines a service board path through which the message needs to pass.
In practical application, a main control board of the network device needs to determine a corresponding relationship between different message types and different service board paths in advance according to a configuration of a user, and the main control board issues an inter-board forwarding table to each service board according to the corresponding relationship between the different message types and the different service board paths. For any service board card path (assumed to include N service board cards), in the process of flowing a message through the service board card path, each service board card in the first N-1 service board cards queries its own inter-board forwarding table according to the type of the message, so as to forward the processed message to the next service board card, and the nth service board card forwards the processed message to a certain output interface of the network device.
It should be noted that the type of the message is defined by the user according to actual needs, and in this specification, the "determining the type of the message according to the ingress interface and/or the network identifier" is taken as an example, where the network identifiers are the same and are indicated in the same network segment, and the network identifier may be a network identifier corresponding to a source address (source IP) or a network identifier corresponding to a destination address (destination IP). In addition, a one-to-one correspondence relationship exists between one service board path and at least one packet type group, that is, each packet type corresponds to one determined service board path. In actual configuration, different message types may exist to perform the same service processing flow, and therefore, a situation that the same service board path corresponds to multiple message types may exist, so that each service board path corresponds to one message type group, and at least one message type in the message type group exists. As the configuration information shown in fig. 4, "a message received by the ingress interface 1 and having a network segment Q", and "a message received by the ingress interface 2", the corresponding paths of the service board cards are: the service board B → the service board C → the service board F → the service board D, therefore, for the packet type group corresponding to the service board path "service board B → service board C → service board F → service board D", the packet type group is { "the packet received by the input interface 1 and having the network segment Q", and "the packet received by the input interface 2" }.
Specifically, for example, the network device has three input interfaces (input interface 1, input interface 2, and input interface 3), 5 service boards (service board a, service board B, service board C, service board D, and service board F), as shown in fig. 2, and the configuration of the user is as shown in fig. 4:
for a message received by the input interface 1 and having a network segment P, there are four services in the service flow to be performed, and the corresponding service board card paths are: traffic board a → traffic board B → traffic board C → traffic board D.
For a message received by the input interface 1 and having a network segment Q, there are four services in the service flow to be performed, and the corresponding service board card paths are: traffic board B → traffic board C → traffic board F → traffic board D.
For the message received by the input interface 2, there are four services in the service flow that needs to be performed, and the corresponding service board card paths are: traffic board B → traffic board C → traffic board F → traffic board D.
For the message received by the input interface 3, the service flow to be performed has four services, and the corresponding service board card path is: traffic board C → traffic board B → traffic board D.
Then, according to the configuration, the generated inter-board forwarding tables of the service board card a, the service board card B, the service board card C and the service board card F sequentially are:
table 1 inter-board forwarding table of service board a
| Packet type group | The next service board card identification |
| { "message received by ingress interface 1 and having network segment P" } | Identification of service board card B |
Table 2 inter-board forwarding table of service board B
Table 3 inter-board forwarding table of service board C
Table 4 inter-board forwarding table of service board F
And the inter-board forwarding table corresponding to the service board card D is an empty table.
Supposing that the network device receives a message from the input interface 2, the main control board transfers the message to the service board B according to the stored configuration information, and the service board 1 queries the self inter-board forwarding table according to the message type of the message after completing service processing on the message, and transfers the message to the service board C; after the service board C finishes service processing on the packet, inquiring an inter-board forwarding table of the packet according to the packet type of the packet, and forwarding the packet to a service board F; after the service board F finishes service processing on the message, inquiring an inter-board forwarding table of the service board F according to the message type of the message, and forwarding the message to a service board D; and after the service board D finishes service processing on the message, determining an outgoing interface of the message according to the destination address of the message and forwarding the outgoing interface to the corresponding outgoing interface.
In this implementation manner, the main control board needs to calculate and generate an inter-board forwarding table corresponding to each message type of each service board according to the configuration, and issue the inter-board forwarding table to each service board, and in the process of forwarding the message between the service boards, the inter-board forwarding table needs to be queried once through each service board. However, this approach has the following disadvantages:
1. the forwarding tables between the boards of each service board card are different, the main control board card needs to calculate and generate the forwarding table between the boards of each service board card according to the configuration information, and the calculation process is complex.
2. In the process of forwarding the message between the service boards, the forwarding table between the boards needs to be queried once when the message passes through one service board, so that the delay of message forwarding between the service boards is increased.
3. The master control board card issues the inter-board forwarding tables to the service board cards respectively, and even if the master control service board card issues the inter-board forwarding tables to the service board cards, the time from the inter-board forwarding tables to the service board cards is not necessarily the same, so that a time difference exists between the master control board card and the service board cards in the process of issuing the inter-board forwarding tables to the service board cards, which may cause inconsistency of path information among the service board cards and may not correctly process and forward the message.
In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present specification, the master control board issues an inter-board forwarding table to each service board, where the inter-board forwarding table includes a one-to-one correspondence relationship between at least one service board path that uses the service board as a starting point and at least one packet type group. After receiving the message, the first service board queries a self board-to-board forwarding table according to the message type of the message, then according to a table lookup result, the guidance information used for representing that the message will sequentially pass through the 2 nd service board card to the Nth service board card is packaged into the message, and the subsequent service board cards sequentially forward the message according to the guidance information in the message until the message is forwarded to the last service board card.
The guidance information is used for representing that the message sequentially passes through a 2 nd service board card to an Nth service board card, and the contained information is specifically information of a 3 rd service board card to an Nth service board card, so that the 2 nd service board card to the N-1 th service board card can confirm a next service board card of the message.
With continued reference to the schematic diagram of the network device in fig. 2 and the configuration information diagram in fig. 4, in the service processing flows corresponding to the four message types, the service board a, the service board B, and the service board C are respectively located at the beginning of one of the service board paths, so that the master control board mainly needs to calculate and issue an inter-board forwarding table of the service board a, the service board B, and the service board C, as follows:
table 5 inter-board forwarding table of service board a
Table 6 inter-board forwarding table of service board B
Table 7 inter-board forwarding table of service board C
| Packet type group | Service board card identification path |
| { "message received by ingress interface 3" } | Service board B → service board D |
The service board card D and the service board card F are not the first service board card of any service board card path, and therefore the master control board card does not need to issue an inter-board forwarding table to the service board card D and the service board card F.
Assuming that the network device receives a message from the interface 2, the main control board forwards the message to the service board B according to the stored configuration information, after the service board B finishes service processing on the message, the service board B queries its own inter-board forwarding table according to the message type of the message, writes a service board path (service board F → service board D) between other service boards of the message into the message as guide information, and forwards the message to the service board C; after the service board C finishes processing the message, reading the guide information in the message, and forwarding the message to a service board F according to the guide information; after the service board card F finishes processing the message, reading the guide information in the message, and forwarding the message to a service board card D according to the guide information; and after the last service board D finishes processing the message, determining an outgoing interface of the message according to the destination address of the message and forwarding the outgoing interface to the corresponding outgoing interface.
Through the technical scheme of the embodiment of the specification, the following beneficial effects can be included:
1. the main control board only needs to calculate the one-to-one corresponding relation between the service board path and the message type group, and the calculation process is simplified.
2. Only the first service board card is needed to inquire the forwarding table between boards, and other service board cards do not need to inquire the forwarding table between boards, so that the time delay of message forwarding between the service board cards is reduced.
3. For the path information of one service board card, only the forwarding table between boards needs to be issued to the first service board card, and the problem that the forwarding table between the receiving boards of each service board card has time difference does not exist.
Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated.

It should also be understood that the term "and/or" as used herein refers to and encompasses any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used herein to describe various information, these information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one type of information from another. For example, the first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, the second information may also be referred to as first information, without departing from the scope of the present specification. The word "if," as used herein, may be interpreted as "at \8230; \8230when" or "when 8230; \823030when" or "in response to a determination," depending on the context.
The following is a detailed description of examples of the present specification.
In one or more embodiments of the present description, an inter-board forwarding table is issued to each service board in advance, where the inter-board forwarding table includes a one-to-one correspondence relationship between at least one service board path that uses the service board as a starting point and at least one packet type group. After receiving a message, the network device determines a service board card path corresponding to the message and including N service board cards as a target path according to the stored configuration information and the message type of the message.
After entering the target path, the packet is forwarded according to the flow shown in fig. 3, including the following steps:
And step 104, writing the guide information into the message according to the query result, and then forwarding the message to the 2 nd service board card.
The query result includes information including a forwarding sequence between the service boards, and generally only a service board path including the 2 nd to nth service boards is used, and may be a result in a form of (service board 2 → service board 3 → 8230; 8230 → service board N), or, of course, a result in a form of (service board 1 → service board 2 → service board 3 → 8230; → service board N).
The above-mentioned guiding information is used to represent the 3 rd to nth service boards through which the message will pass. Specifically, the guidance information may be a board identifier sequence obtained according to a sequence from the 3 rd service board to the nth service board, such as (service board identifier 3, service board identifier 4, \8230;, service board identifier N); the method can also obtain the card identifier pairs of each service card and the next service card according to the forwarding relationship between the 2 nd service card and the nth service card, such as (service card identifier 2, service card identifier 3), (service card identifier 3, service card identifier 4), \8230, (service card identifier N-1, service card identifier N).
It should be noted that the writing of the guidance information into the message is to enable the message to carry the guidance information, and the service board can identify the guidance information from the message, and may specifically write the header, the tail, or the interior of the message.
In practical application, there may be a case that the service board card is a virtual board card (composed of a plurality of entity service board cards capable of performing the same service processing), at this time, it may be determined that a certain entity service board card in the virtual board card has more messages for performing service processing according to a traffic sharing algorithm set by a user, and then the identity of the entity service board card is used as the board card identity of the virtual service board card.
And 106, sequentially forwarding the message to the Nth service board card from the 2 nd service board card to the N-1 st service board card based on the guidance information in the message.
Specifically, in the configuration information shown in fig. 4, one of the paths of the service board card is: service board B → service board C → service board F → service board D, and the path of this service board includes 4 service boards, that is, N =4. After receiving the message, the 2 nd service board C reads the guide information in the message, and then forwards the message to the 3 rd service board F; after receiving the message, the 3 rd service board F reads the guidance information in the message, and then forwards the message to the 4 th service board D.
In one or more specific embodiments, after determining the (i + 1) th service board of the packet to be forwarded, the ith service board updates the direction information, that is, the (i + 1) th board identifier in the board identifier sequence may be deleted, where i belongs to [2, n-1]. That is, after any one of the 2 nd to N-1 th service boards receives the message and determines the next service board, the useless guide information in the guide information is deleted. Taking the example that the guide information is the board identification sequence, the specific implementation process is as follows (for convenience of description, in the following description, the ith service board is called a service board i, and the identification of the ith service board is called a service board identification i):
the service board card 1: inquiring the forwarding table between boards according to the message type of the message, determining that the next service board of the message is the service board 2, encapsulating the board identification sequence (service board identification 3, service board identification 4, \8230;, service board identification N) to the message, and then forwarding the message to the service board 2.
And (3) the service board card 2: according to the board identification sequence in the message, determining that the next service board of the message is the service board 3, deleting the service board identification at the outermost layer of the board identification sequence, wherein the board identification sequence is (service board identification 4, \8230; service board identification N), and then forwarding the message to the service board 3.
And (3) a service board card: according to the board identification sequence in the message, determining that the next service board of the message is the service board 4, deleting the service board identification on the outermost layer of the board identification sequence, wherein the board identification sequence is (service board identification 5, \8230; service board identification N), and then forwarding the message to the service board 3.
……
A service board card N-1: and determining that the next service board of the message is a service board N according to the board identification sequence in the message, deleting the service board identification at the outermost layer of the board identification sequence, deleting the board identification sequence, and then forwarding the message to the service board N.
A service board card N: and determining the outgoing interface information of the message according to the destination address of the message, and forwarding the message to a corresponding outgoing interface.
In an optional manner, the guidance information is not updated or changed from the 2 nd service board card to the N-1 st service board card, and when the last service board card, that is, the nth service board card receives the message, the guidance information is deleted in a unified manner.
In practical applications, the main control board further needs to issue a FIB table (Forward Information data base, forwarding Information table) to the service board at the end of the path of the service board, where the FIB table includes a corresponding relationship between a destination address and a forwarding output interface, and is used for the service board at the end of the path of the service board to confirm the output interface of the message. In practical applications, the corresponding relationship between the destination address and the forwarding output interface is that one output interface corresponds to a plurality of destination addresses, but each destination address has a certain output interface.
Therefore, in one or more embodiments, the main control board may not issue the FIB table (also referred to as a destination forwarding table in this specification) to the service board at the end of the path of the service board, but issue the FIB table to the service board at the beginning of the path of the service board, at this time, in step 102, the 1 st service board further needs to query the FIB table according to the destination address of the message, and determine the outgoing interface information of the message; in step 104, the outgoing interface information is also encapsulated into the message as part of the message's direction information. Continuing to take the example that the guide information is the board card identification sequence, the specific implementation is as follows:
the service board card 1: inquiring a forwarding table between boards according to the message type of the message, determining that the next service board of the message is a service board 2, encapsulating a board identification sequence (service board identification 3, service board identification 4, \8230;, service board identification N) to the message, inquiring an FIB table according to the destination address of the message, determining outgoing interface information of the message, encapsulating the outgoing interface information into the message, and then forwarding the message to the service board 2.
And (3) the service board card 2: and determining the next service board as the service board 3 according to the board identification sequence in the message, deleting the service board identification on the outermost layer of the board identification sequence, wherein the board identification sequence is (service board identification 4, \8230;, service board identification N), and forwarding the message to the service board 3.
The service board card 3: according to the board identification sequence in the message, the next service board is determined to be the service board 4, the service board identification at the outmost layer of the board identification sequence is deleted, at this time, the board identification sequence is (service board identification 5, \8230;, service board identification N), and then the message is forwarded to the service board 3.
……
A service board card N-1: and determining the next service board as a service board N according to the board identification sequence in the message, deleting the service board identification at the outermost layer of the board identification sequence, deleting the board identification sequence at the moment, and then forwarding the message to the service board N.
A service board card N: and determining the outgoing interface of the message according to the outgoing interface information in the message, deleting the outgoing interface information of the message, and forwarding the message to the corresponding outgoing interface.
Similarly, in an optional manner, the guide information is not updated or changed from the 2 nd service board to the N-1 th service board, and when the last service board, that is, the nth service board receives the message, the guide information is deleted uniformly.
Alternatively, after encapsulating the outbound interface information into the card identification sequence, for example, (service card identification 3, service card identification 4, \8230;, service card identification N, outbound interface information), when the nth service card receives the message, the guidance information is (outbound interface information).
In addition, in practical application, a situation that a service board card fails may exist, for example, a certain service board card is pulled out or a certain service board card is short-circuited, and after the master control board card scans and monitors that a fault occurs in a certain service board card, for each service board card path of the service board card including the fault, it is determined whether the fault service board card is the 1 st service board card in the service board card path, if not, the service board card path is updated based on the fault service board card, and based on the updated service board card path, the inter-board forwarding table is newly issued to the 1 st service board card in the service board card path. Updating the path of the service board card based on the failed service board card means that if a substitute service board card for replacing the failed service board card exists, the substitute service board card is used for replacing the position in the failed service board card; and if the substitute service board card for replacing the fault service board card does not exist, deleting the fault service board card in the service board card path.
In this case, only the inter-board forwarding table of the first service board in the path of the service boards needs to be deleted, instead of deleting the inter-board forwarding tables of all the service boards in the prior art, so that the fault convergence time of the service boards is reduced.
It should be noted that, if a service board is neither the first service board (the service board at the beginning of the path of the service board) nor the last service board (the service board at the end of the path of the service board), it may be a service board without a routing forwarding function (because table lookup is not needed).
If a service board is not the first service board in any service board path, then an empty inter-board forwarding table may be issued or an inter-board forwarding table may not be issued. If a service is not the last service board card of any service board card path, an empty FIB table can be issued or the FIB table is not issued.
The present specification provides a network device, as shown in fig. 5, including a main control board, a plurality of service boards:
the main control board card executes: for each service board card, issuing an inter-board forwarding table to the service board card, wherein the inter-board forwarding table comprises a one-to-one correspondence relationship between at least one service board card path taking the service board card as a starting point and at least one message type group; for a message received by the network equipment, determining a service board card path corresponding to the message and including N service board cards as a target path according to the message type of the message;
after the message enters the target path
The 1 st service board executes: inquiring an inter-board forwarding table of the message based on the message type of the message; according to the query result, writing guide information into the message, and then forwarding the message to the 2 nd service board card; the guide information is used for representing that the messages are sequentially forwarded to the Nth service board card by the 2 nd service board card;
the 2 nd to the N-1 th service boards perform: and sequentially forwarding the messages to the Nth service board card based on the guidance information in the messages.
