Description

一种转发报文的方法、设备及***
本申请要求于2016年12月20日提交中国专利局、申请号为201611187143.3、申请名称为“一种转发报文的方法、设备及***”的中国专利申请的优先权，其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域，尤其涉及一种转发报文的方法、设备及***。更具体的，本申请涉及PW冗余(Pseudo Wire Redundancy)技术。
背景技术
PW冗余技术基于边缘到边缘伪线仿真(Pseudo Wire Emulation Edge-to-Edge，PWE3)***，提供一种用户边缘(Customer Edge，CE)设备双归属场景下的运营商边缘(Provider Edge，PE)设备或接入链路(Attachment Circuit，AC)的保护机制。通过配置主(Primary)伪线(Pseudo Wire，PW)和备份(Secondary)PW，构成一个PW冗余组。PW冗余组中的PW都可以进行数据流量转发，但任何时候只有一条PW用来转发数据流量，正常情况下，主PW转发数据流量。当主PW失效时，将数据流量快速切换到备份PW上进行转发。当主PW恢复有效时，数据流量将被回切到主PW上进行转发。
虚拟专用线路业务伪线(Virtual Private Wire Service Pseudo Wire，VPWS PW)是PW冗余技术的一种具体实现方式。其中，虚拟专用线路业务(Virtual Private Wire Service，VPWS)也可称为虚拟租用线(Virtual Leased Line，VLL)。VPWS是指在分组交换网络(Packet Switched Network，PSN)中尽可能真实的模仿异步传输模式(Asynchronous Transfer Mode，ATM)、帧中继(Frame Relay，FR)、以太网(Ethernet)、低速时分复用(Time Division Multiplexing，TDM)电路和同步光纤网(Synchronous Optical Network，SONET)/同步数字体系(Synchronous Digital Hierarchy，SDH)等业务的基本行为和特征的一种二层业务承载技术。
在实际的应用场景中，VPWS PW中的主PW和备份PW实现了冗余保护功能。但是，由于在任何时候只有一条PW用来转发数据流量，造成PW冗余组的带宽资源无法被充分利用。例如，当主PW被用来转发数据流量时，备份PW将处于备用(Standby)状态，备份PW不转发数据流量。即使主PW的带宽资源出现不足时，备份PW的带宽资源也无法被利用。
发明内容
有鉴于此，本申请实施例提供了一种转发报文的方法、设备及***，从而在保留VPWS PW中主PW和备份PW的冗余保护功能的基础上，有助于提高实现VPWS PW的带宽利用率。

具体实施方式
本申请实施例提供了一种转发报文的方法、设备及***，从而在保留VPWS PW中主PW和备份PW的冗余保护功能的基础上，有助于提高实现VPWS PW的带宽利用率。
下面通过具体实施例，分别进行详细的说明。
为使得本申请的发明目的、特征、优点能更加的明显和易懂，下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图，对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行清楚地描述。显然下面所描述的实施例仅仅是本申请一部分实施例，而非全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例，本领域普通技术人员可以获得其他实施例。
本申请的说明书和权利要求书及附图中的术语“第一”、“第二”、“第三”和“第四”等是用于区别不同对象，而不是用于描述特定顺序。此外，术语“包括”和“具有”不是排他的。例如包括了一系列步骤或单元的过程、方法、***、产品或设备没有限定于已列出的步骤或单元，还可以包括没有列出的步骤或单元。
图1为本申请实施例的一种VPWS PW冗余网络结构示意图。该VPWS PW冗余网络包括第一PE设备、第二PE设备和第三PE设备。所述第一PE设备分别通过通信链路与所述第二PE设备和所述第三PE设备进行通信。所述第一PE设备与所述第二PE设备和所述第三PE设备之间建立PW冗余组，所述PW冗余组包括主PW和备份PW。其中，所述第一PE设备与所述第二PE设备之间建立所述主PW，所述第一PE设备与所述第三PE设备之间建立所述备份PW。所述主PW和所述备份PW的建立过程可以依据因特网工程任务组(Internet Engineering Task Force，IETF)制定的相应标准实现，例如征求意见稿(Requirement For Comments，RFC)6718，本申请不进 行赘述。另外，所述第二PE设备与所述第三PE设备之间建立了旁路伪线(Bypass PW)。其中，所述Bypass PW可以采用框间备份伪线(Inter-Chassis Backup Pseudo Wire，ICB PW)或双节点互联伪线(Dual Node Interconnection Pseudo Wire，DNI PW)。如此这样，在VPWS PW冗余网络中，所述第一PE设备、第二PE设备和第三PE设备组成的网络可以称为PW侧网络。
所述第一PE设备通过通信链路与第一CE设备进行通信。所述第一CE设备可以经由所述第一PE设备向所述PW冗余组发送数据流量，也可以经由所述第一PE设备接收来自所述PW冗余组的数据流量。其中，所述第一CE设备与所述第一PE设备之间的通信链路可以是一条物理链路，也可以是由多条物理链路组成的聚合链路以太Trunk(Eth-Trunk)链路。如此这样，在VPWS PW冗余网络中，所述第一PE设备和所述第一CE设备组成的网络可以称为本地AC侧网络。
第二CE设备通过聚合链路多框Trunk(Multi-Chassis Trunk，MC-Trunk)链路双归属连接到所述VPWS PW冗余网络中的所述第二PE设备和所述第三PE设备。其中，MC-Trunk链路也可以称为增强Trunk(Enhanced Trunk，E-trunk)。具体的，所述MC-Trunk链路包括两条成员Eth-Trunk链路。其中，一条Eth-Trunk链路被设置于所述第二CE设备与所述第二PE设备之间，另一条Eth-Trunk链路被设置于所述第二CE设备与所述第三PE设备之间。在所述MC-Trunk链路中，需要配置两条成员Eth-Trunk链路的主备状态。如图1所示，将所述第二CE设备与所述第二PE设备之间的Eth-Trunk链路确定为主用链路，或者称为主用Eth-Trunk链路；将所述第二CE设备与所述第三PE设备之间的Eth-Trunk链路确定为备用链路，或者称为备用Eth-Trunk链路。如此这样，在VPWS PW冗余网络中，所述第二PE设备、第三PE设备和所述第二CE设备组成的网络可以称为远端AC侧网络。
在图1所示的VPWS PW冗余网络中，CE设备可以是交换机或路由器，PE设备可以是路由器或三层交换机。图1所示的VPWS PW冗余网络可以应用于多种场景中。例如，所述VPWS PW冗余网络应用于移动承载网(Mobile Bearer Network)，典型的移动承载网是互联网协议化无线接入网(Internet Protocol Radio Access Network，IP RAN)。在移动承载网中，所述第一CE设备可以是基站(Base Transceiver Station，BTS)，所述第二CE设备可以是基站控制器(Base Station Controller，BSC)或无线网络控制器(Radio Network Controller，RNC)，所述第一PE设备可以是基站侧网关(Cell Site Gateway，CSG)，所述第二PE设备和所述第三PE设备可以是基站控制器侧网关(Radio Network Controller Site Gateway，RSG)。又例如，所述VPWS PW冗余网络应用于固网(Fixed Network)。在固网中，所述第一CE设备和所述第二CE设备可以是用户侧的站点(Site)，所述站点可以位于虚拟专用网(Virtual Private Network，VPN)中，所述第一PE设备可以是数字用户线接入复接器(Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer，DSLAM)，所述第二PE设备和所述第三PE设备可以是宽带接入服务器(Broadband Access Server，BAS)。
在图1中，VPWS PW冗余保护机制可以采用两种工作模式：主/从模式(Master/Slave Mode)和独立模式(Independent Mode)。接下来，分别对两种工作模式进行介绍。
对于主从模式，在PW侧网络中，第一PE设备将所述第一PE设备相对于主PW的优先转发状态(preferential forwarding status)确定为激活(Active)状态，并且向第二PE设备发送携带Active状态码的PW状态通知报文。其中，所述优先转发状态用于指示PE设备所确定的PW的转发状态。所述Active状态码用于指示PW为转发流量的Active状态，例如，根据IETF制定的RFC4447或RFC6870，所述Active状态码的值设置为0x00(0x表示16进制)。所述第二PE设备接收到携带Active状态码的PW状态通知报文后，将所述第二PE设备相对于所述主PW的优先转发状态确定为Active状态，并且向所述第一PE设备返回携带Active状态码的PW状态通知报文。如此这样，所述第一PE设备和所述第二PE设备都将自身相对于所述主PW的优先转发状态确定为Active状态，所述主PW两端的优先转发状态相同，从而所述主PW被确定为Active状态。而且，所述第一PE设备将所述第一PE设备相对于备份PW的优先转发状态确定为备用(Standby)状态，并且向第三PE设备发送携带Standby状态码的PW状态通知报文。所述Standby状态码用于指示PW为不转发流量的Standby状态，例如，根据IETF制定的RFC4447或RFC6870，所述Standby状态码的值设置为0x20。所述第三PE设备接收到携带Standby状态码的PW状态通知报文后，将所述第三PE设备相对于所述备份PW的优先转发状态确定为Standby状态，并且向所述第一PE设备返回携带Standby状态码的PW状态通知报文。如此这样，所述第一PE设备和所述第三PE设备都将自身相对于所述备份PW的优先转发状态确定为Standby状态，所述备份PW两端的优先转发状态相同，从而所述备份PW被确定为Standby状态。其中，所述PW状态通知报文可以是标签分发协议(Label Distribution Protocol，LDP)报文。在远端AC侧网络中，第二CE设备与所述第二PE设备通过链路聚合控制协议(Link Aggregation Control Protocol，LACP)报文，将所述第二CE设备与所述第二PE设备之间的Eth-Trunk链路协商为主用链路。第二CE设备与所述第三PE设备通过LACP报文，将所述第二CE设备与所述第三PE设备之间的Eth-Trunk链路协商为备用链路。在主从模式中，所述PW侧网络和所述远端AC侧网络的协商过程是相互隔离的。通过上述的协商过程，所述第一CE设备和所述第二CE设备可以通过所述主PW和所述主用链路相互转发数据流量，数据流量的转发路径是：第一CE设备-第一PE设备-主PW-第二PE设备-主用链路-第二CE设备。
对于独立模式，PW侧网络中的PW状态由远端AC侧网络中的Eth-Trunk链路状态和PW侧网络中交互的PW状态通知报文共同确定。具体的，第二CE设备与第二PE设备之间的Eth-Trunk链路被协商为主用链路，所述第二CE设备第三PE设备之间的Eth-Trunk链路被协商为备用链路。第一PE设备确定本地优先转发状态为Active状态，并分别向所述第二PE设备和所述第三PE设备发送携带Active状态码的PW状态通知报文。因为所述第二CE设备与第二PE设备之间的Eth-Trunk链路被协商为主用链路，所述第二PE设备确定出的本地优先转发状态为Active状态。所述第二PE设备比较所述PW状态通知报文的Active状态码与所述本地优先转发状态相匹配，均为Active状态，因此，所述第二PE设备将所述第二PE设备相对于主PW的优先转发状态确定为Active状态，并向所述第一PE设备发送携带Active状态码的PW状态通知报文。并且，因为所述第二CE设备与第三PE设备之间的Eth-Trunk链路被协商为备 用链路，所述第三PE设备确定出的本地优先转发状态为Standby状态。所述第三PE设备比较所述PW状态通知报文的Active状态码与所述本地优先转发状态不匹配，因此，所述第三PE设备将所述第二PE设备相对于备份PW的优先转发状态确定为Standby状态，并向所述第一PE设备发送携带Standby状态码的PW状态通知报文。所述第一PE设备根据接收到的所述携带Active状态码的PW状态通知报文，并且比较所述PW状态通知报文的Active状态码与所述本地优先转发状态相匹配，均为Active状态，因此，所述第一PE设备将所述第一PE设备相对于所述主PW的优先转发状态确定为Active状态。从而，所述主PW被确定为Active状态。相应的，所述第一PE设备根据接收到的所述携带Standby状态码的PW状态通知报文，并且比较所述PW状态通知报文的Active状态码与所述本地优先转发状态不匹配，因此，所述第一PE设备将所述第一PE设备相对于所述备份PW的优先转发状态确定为Standby状态。从而，所述备份PW被确定为Standby状态。通过上述的协商过程，所述第一CE设备和所述第二CE设备可以通过所述主PW和所述主用链路相互转发数据流量，数据流量的转发路径是：第一CE设备-第一PE设备-主PW-第二PE设备-主用链路-第二CE设备。其中，所述PW状态通知报文可以是LDP报文。
在上述两种工作模式中，任何时候只有一条PW用来转发数据流量。在实际的应用场景中，还可以设置多条PW或者在一条PW中承载多条隧道。例如，所述第一PE设备与所述第二PE设备之间设置两条PW，一条为主PW，另一条为备份PW；相应的，所述第一PE设备与所述第三PE设备之间设置两条PW，一条为主PW，另一条为备份PW。这样的设置可以实现所述第一PE设备基于不同的PW冗余组同时向所述第二PE设备和第三PE设备传送数据流量。又例如，所述第一PE设备与所述第二PE设备之间设置一条PW，所述PW包括多条隧道；相应的，所述第一PE设备与所述第三PE设备之间设置一条PW，所述PW包括多条隧道。这样的设置可以实现所述第一PE设备基于不同的隧道冗余组同时向所述第二PE设备和第三PE设备传送数据流量。然而，对于上述实现方式，每个PW冗余组中的两条PW或每个隧道冗余组中的两条隧道均要保持一主一备，只有一条PW或一条隧道用来转发数据流量，无法实现真正的流量均衡。
本申请实施例提供了一种转发报文的方法，以便在保留VPWS PW中主PW和备份PW的冗余保护功能的基础上，实现流量均衡的功能，提高VPWS PW的带宽利用率。在本申请中，流量均衡也可以称为负载分担(load sharing)，在不增加特殊说明的情况下，流量均衡等同于负载分担。
图3示出了本申请实施例的一种转发报文的方法流程图。图3所示的方法可以应用于图1和图2所示的VPWS PW冗余网络中，所述VPWS PW冗余网络包括第一PE设备、第二PE设备和第三PE设备，所述第一PE设备与所述第二PE设备之间建立了主PW，所述第一PE设备与所述第三PE设备之间建立了备份PW，所述第二PE设备与所述第三PE设备之间建立了Bypass PW。具体的，在图1所示的VPWS PW冗余网络的转发状态下，应用图3所示的方法，将所述VPWS PW冗余网络的转发状态切换为图2所示的转发状态。该方法包括：
S101、所述第一PE设备向所述第二PE设备发送第一报文，所述第一报文用于请 求将所述主PW由Active状态切换为均衡(Balance)状态。
S102、所述第一PE设备向所述第三PE设备发送第二报文，所述第二报文用于请求将所述备份PW由Standby状态切换为Balance状态。
根据前述实施例针对图1所示场景的描述，通过协商过程，第一CE设备和第二CE设备可以通过所述主PW和所述主用链路相互转发数据流量，数据流量的转发路径是：第一CE设备-第一PE设备-主PW-第二PE设备-主用链路-第二CE设备。也就是说，所述主PW的状态为转发数据流量的Active状态，所述备份PW的状态为不转发数据流量的Standby状态。
所述第一PE设备经由所述主PW向所述第二PE设备发送所述第一报文，所述第一报文用于请求将所述主PW由Active状态切换为Balance状态，所述Balance状态用于指示以流量均衡的方式转发数据流量。可选的，所述第一报文是携带着Balance状态码的PW状态通知报文。所述Balance状态码用于指示PW为转发流量的Balance状态。由于所述主PW的当前状态为Active状态，因此，所述Balance状态码可以被看作指示所述主PW由Active状态切换为Balance状态。其中，所述PW状态通知报文可以是LDP报文。所述Balance状态码的值例如可以设置为0x30。
基于上述相同的方式，所述第一PE设备还经由所述备份PW向所述第三PE设备发送所述第二报文，所述第二报文用于请求将所述备份PW由Standby状态切换为Balance状态，所述Balance状态用于指示以流量均衡的方式转发数据流量。可选的，所述第二报文是携带着Balance状态码的PW状态通知报文。所述Balance状态码用于指示PW为转发流量的Balance状态。由于所述备份PW的当前状态为Standby状态，因此，Balance状态码可以被看作指示所述备份PW由Standby状态切换为Balance状态。其中，所述PW状态通知报文可以是LDP报文。所述Balance状态码的值例如可以设置为0x30。
其中，本实施例并不限定S101和S102执行的先后顺序，应当理解，S101可以先于S102执行；S101也可以在S102之后执行；S101还可以与S102同时执行。

举例说明，所述第三PE设备在接收到来自所述第一PE设备的携带着Balance状态码的PW状态通知报文后，经由所述第二PE设备和所述第三PE设备之间的BypassPW，向所述第二PE设备转发该PW状态通知报文。相应的，所述第二PE设备经由所述Bypass PW接收该PW状态通知报文。
S107、所述第二PE设备根据所述第一报文和所述第二报文生成回应报文，将所述第二PE设备相对于所述主PW的优先转发状态由Active状态切换为Balance状态， 并且将所述第二PE设备相对于所述Bypass PW的优先转发状态由Bypass状态切换为Balance状态。
举例说明，所述第二PE设备在接收到两个携带着Balance状态码的PW状态通知报文后，确定两个PW状态通知报文均携带着Balance状态码，生成回应报文，所述回应报文表示同意所述两个PW状态通知报文的切换请求。其中，所述两个PW状态通知报文中，一个PW状态通知报文是所述第一PE设备经由所述主PW发送的，另一个PW状态通知报文是所述第一PE设备经由所述备份PW，所述第二PE设备和所述Bypass PW发送的。所述第二PE设备还将所述第二PE设备相对于所述主PW的优先转发状态由Active状态切换为Balance状态和将所述第二PE设备相对于所述BypassPW的优先转发状态由Bypass状态切换为Balance状态。其中，所述第二PE设备将所述第二PE设备相对于所述Bypass PW的优先转发状态切换为Balance状态的有益效果是，所述第二CE设备向所述第一CE设备发送的数据流量经由远端AC侧网络的主用链路到达所述第二PE设备后，可以由所述第二PE设备将所述数据流量均衡到所述主PW和所述Bypass PW进行传输。
S108、所述第二PE设备经由所述主PW向所述第一PE设备发送所述回应报文和经由所述Bypass PW向所述第三PE设备发送所述回应报文，所述回应报文用于指示同意第一报文和第二报文的切换请求。

S111、所述第三PE设备接收所述回应报文。
S112、所述第三PE设备根据所述回应报文，将所述第三PE设备相对于所述备份 PW的优先转发状态由Standby状态切换为Balance状态，并且将所述第三PE设备相对于所述Bypass PW的优先转发状态由Bypass状态切换为Balance状态。
具体的，当所述第三PE设备接收到所述回应报文，所述第三PE设备能够确认所述第二PE设备接收了所述第一PE设备经由所述主PW发送的第一报文和所述第一PE设备经由所述备份PW和所述Bypass PW发送的第二报文，并且第二PE设备已经将所述第二PE设备相对于所述主PW的优先转发状态和所述Bypass PW的优先转发状态切换为Balance状态。因此，所述第三PE设备可以根据所述回应报文将所述第三PE设备相对于所述备份PW的优先转发状态由Standby状态切换为Balance状态，并且将所述第三PE设备相对于所述Bypass PW的优先转发状态由Bypass状态切换为Balance状态。结合S107和S110的描述，所述第二PE设备已经将所述第二PE设备相对于所述Bypass PW的优先转发状态由Bypass状态切换为Balance状态和所述第一PE设备已经将所述第一PE设备相对于所述备份PW的优先转发状态由Standby状态切换为Balance状态。由此，所述备份PW和所述Bypass PW被确定为Balance状态，完成相应的切换。
完成上述S101-S112的协商过程后，所述VPWS PW冗余网络的转发状态如图2所示。如此这样，所述第一PE设备可以基于哈希(Hash)算法，对来自所述第一CE设备的数据流量进行流量均衡计算。所述第一PE设备将所述数据流量的一部分流量将由所述主PW发送到所述第二PE设备，并经由主用链路到达所述第二CE设备；所述第一PE设备还将所述数据流量的另一部分流量将由所述备份PW发送到所述第三PE设备，并经由所述Bypass PW、所述第二PE设备和主用链路到达所述第二CE设备。同样的道理，所述第二CE设备发出的数据流量经由所述主用链路到达所述第二PE后，所述第二PE设备可以基于Hash算法对所述数据流量进行流量均衡计算，一部分流量经由所述主PW到达所述第一PE设备，另一部分流量经由所述Bypass PW、所述第三PE设备和所述备份PW到达所述第一PE设备。其中，本申请对流量均衡计算时的计算原则不进行限定，例如，可以平均分配流量，或者根据两条PW的带宽分配流量，或者根据流量的业务类型分配流量。
通过上述实施方式，第一PE设备分别经由主PW和备份PW向第二PE设备和第三PE设备发送请求切换为Balance状态的请求报文；所述第二PE设备经由所述主PW和经由所述备份PW、所述第三PE设备和Bypass PW接收两个请求报文；所述第二PE设备将所述第二PE设备相对于所述主PW和所述Bypass PW的优先转发状态切换为Balance状态，并通过回应报文通知所述第一PE设备和所述第三PE设备；所述第一PE设备根据所述回应报文将所述第一PE设备相对于所述主PW和所述备份PW的优先转发状态切换为Balance状态，所述第三PE设备根据所述回应报文将所述第三PE设备相对于所述Bypass PW的优先转发状态切换为Balance状态。从而，在保留VPWS PW中主PW和备份PW的冗余保护功能的基础上，实现主PW和备份PW的流量均衡，有助于提高VPWS PW的带宽利用率。
可选的，所述第一报文和所述第二报文携带有PW状态码，所述PW状态码用于指示PW的状态为Balance状态。
举例说明，所述第一报文和所述第二报文可以采用LDP报文，在所述LDP报文 中携带有PW状态码，所述PW状态码可以是Balance状态码，所述Balance状态码的值例如可以设置为0x30。
可选的，在S101之前，所述方法还包括：所述第一PE设备确定所述第一PE设备向所述第二PE设备发送流量的带宽占用率超过预定阈值。
举例说明，在执行上述S101之前，所述VPWS PW的PW转发方式已经被协商为图1所示的场景，并且，数据流量经由Active的主PW转发，备份PW处于Standby状态。所述第一PE设备可以周期的检测所述所述第一PE设备的出接口的带宽占用率，所述出接口用于连接所述主PW，即，所述第一PE设备周期的检测发到Active状态的主PW上的流量。当带宽占用率超过预定阈值时，说明主PW可能处于超负荷运转或发生拥塞。基于所述带宽占用率超过预定阈值的情况，所述第一PE设备触发S101的执行，即触发图3所示的流程。基于上述实现方式，所述VPWS PW可以根据转发流量的带宽情况，自动的选择冗余模式转发数据流量和流量均衡模式转发数据流量。其中，对于阈值的选择不进行限定，例如使用PW的额定带宽作为阈值或者由操作人员进行配置。
可选的，在S101之前，所述方法还包括：所述第一PE设备确定所述第一PE设备向所述第二PE设备发送流量的时刻起，经历预定的时间周期。
举例说明，在执行上述S101之前，所述VPWS PW的PW转发方式已经被协商为图1所示的场景，并且，数据流量经由Active的主PW转发，备份PW处于Standby状态。所述第一PE设备在向所述第二PE设备发送流量时起，经历预定的时间周期后，所述第一PE设备触发S101的执行，即触发图3所示的流程。基于上述实现方式，有利于在冗余模式转发数据流量稳定后，切换为流量均衡模式转发数据流量。
可选的，在S107之前，所述方法还包括：所述第二PE设备确定所述第二PE设备向所述第三PE设备发送流量的出接口的带宽占用率小于预定阈值。
具体的，PW链路承载于物理链路上，因此，所述物理链路可能还传输有非PW流量。所述非PW流量是指不经由PW链路传输，而经由承载所述PW链路的物理链路传输的流量。物理链路的总带宽是固定的，如果所述物理链路上的非PW流量占用带宽过高，将会导致所述物理链路承载的PW链路的带宽降低。因此，即使PW链路上不存在流量的情况下，也可能出现因物理链路的非PW流量过载，造成PW链路的拥塞或通信质量不佳。所述第二PE设备在根据所述第一报文和所述第二报文生成回应报文之前，对所述第二PE设备发送到所述第二PE设备和所述第三PE设备之间的物理链路上的流量进行检测，即所述第二PE设备对所述第二PE设备向所述第三PE设备发送流量的出接口的带宽占用率进行检测。当所述出接口的带宽占用率小于预定阈值时，说明所述第二PE设备和所述第三PE设备之间的物理链路上承载的Bypass PW有剩余带宽承载PW流量。基于上述实现方式，有助于减少流量均衡模式协商不成功的情况，并且有助于减少切换为流量均衡模式后链路拥塞的情况。
可选的，在S107之前，所述方法还包括：所述第二PE设备确定所述第二PE设备向所述第三PE设备发送流量的出接口的带宽占用率大于或等于预定阈值，所述第二PE设备生成拒绝报文，并经由所述主PW向所述第一PE设备和经由所述Bypass PW向所述第三PE设备发送所述拒绝报文，所述拒绝报文用于指示不同意所述第一报文 和所述第二报文的切换请求。
结合上述的描述，当所述第二PE设备的所述出接口的带宽占用率大于或等于预定阈值时，生成所述拒绝报文，并且向所述第一PE设备和所述第三PE设备通告所述拒绝报文。所述第一PE设备和所述第三PE设备在接收到所述拒绝报文后，终止切换为流量均衡模式的协商过程。可选的，所述拒绝报文是携带着拒绝状态码的PW状态通知报文，所述PW状态通知报文可以是LDP报文。所述拒绝状态码的值例如可以设置为0x31。
相应的，当该步骤被触发后，图3所示的方法将不再执行S107-S112的相应步骤。
可选的，在S105之前，所述方法还包括：所述第三PE设备确定所述第三PE设备向所述第二PE设备发送流量的出接口的带宽占用率小于预定阈值。
可选的，在S105之前，所述方法还包括：所述第三PE设备确定所述第三PE设备向所述第二PE设备发送流量的出接口的带宽占用率大于或等于预定阈值，所述第三PE设备生成拒绝报文，并经由所述备份PW向所述第一PE设备发送所述拒绝报文，所述拒绝报文用于指示不同意所述第二报文的切换请求。
基于上述的描述，基于与所述第二PE设备检测出接口的带宽占用率的实现方式同样道理，所述第三PE设备在接收到所述第一PE设备经由所述备份PW发送的所述第二报文后，检测所述第三PE设备向所述第二PE设备发送流量的出接口的带宽占用率是否小于预定阈值。如果所述第三PE设备确定所述第三PE设备向所述第二PE设备发送流量的出接口的带宽占用率小于预定阈值，将执行S105步骤。所述第三PE设备确定所述第三PE设备向所述第二PE设备发送流量的出接口的带宽占用率大于或等于预定阈值，所述第三PE设备生成拒绝报文，并经由所述备份PW向所述第一PE设备发送所述拒绝报文，相应的，图3所示的方法将不再执行S105-S112的相应步骤。
图4示出本申请实施例的又一种VPWS PW冗余网络结构示意图。图4是基于图2所示的流量均衡的转发方式下，发生故障的场景图。在图4中显示了故障1、故障2、故障3、故障4、故障5和故障6。应当理解，在图4所呈现的场景并不代表上述6种故障同时发生，而是表示上述6种故障出现的位置。本申请接下来的实施例，将会讨论每个故障的处理方法。而且，以下实施例只讨论同时刻出现一种故障的情况，不讨论同时刻出现两种或两种以上故障的情况。
图5示出了处理图4中故障1的方法流程图，并且，图5所示的方法是在已经实现图2所示的流量均衡的转发方式的情况下，发生了故障1后的故障处理实现方式。其中，故障1是指第一PE设备和第二PE设备之间的主PW存在故障。该方法包括：

S202、所述第一PE设备将所述第一PE设备相对于所述主PW的优先转发状态由Balance状态切换为Standby状态，并且向所述第二PE设备发送第三报文，所述第三报文用于请求将所述主PW由Balance状态切换为Standby状态。
S203、所述第一PE设备将所述第一PE设备相对于所述备份PW的优先转发状态由Balance状态切换为Active状态，并且向所述第三PE设备发送第四报文，所述第四报文用于请求将所述备份PW由Balance状态切换为Active状态。
所述第一PE设备在确定预定周期内无法收到来自所述第二PE设备的故障检测报文后，将所述第一PE设备相对于所述主PW的优先转发状态由Balance状态切换为Standby状态，并且经由所述主PW向所述第二PE设备发送第三报文。其中，所述第三报文可以是携带着Standby状态码的PW状态通知报文，所述PW状态通知报文可以是LDP报文，所述Standby状态码例如为0x20。同样道理，所述第一PE设备还将所述第一PE设备相对于所述备份PW的优先转发状态由Balance状态切换为Active状态，并且经由所述备份PW向所述第三PE设备发送第四报文。其中，所述第四报文可以是携带着Active状态码的PW状态通知报文，所述PW状态通知报文可以是LDP报文，所述Active状态码例如为0x00。
所述第一PE设备在执行S202和S203时，不限定执行顺序，可以先执行S202后执行S203，也可以先执行S203后执行S202，还可以同时执行。另外，由于主PW故障，所述第三报文可能无法被所述第二PE设备接收。在这种情况下，所述第一PE设备依然发送所述第三报文是为了减少所述第一PE设备的执行操作的复杂性。
在一种可能的实现方式中，所述第三报文中还可以携带故障码，这种情况下，所述第三报文可以被看做是切换报文和故障通告报文的组合报文。在另一种可能的实现方式中，例如在独立模式下，所述第三报文可以不采用携带着Standby状态码的PW状态通知报文，而是采用携带故障状态码的LDP报文。
S204、所述第三PE设备接收所述第四报文。
S205、所述第三PE设备根据所述第四报文将所述第三PE设备相对于所述备份PW的优先转发状态由Balance状态切换为Active状态。
举例说明，所述第三PE设备经由备份PW接收携带着Active状态码的PW状态通知报文，根据所述PW状态通知报文将所述备份PW由Balance状态切换为Active状态。
S206、所述第二PE设备确定预定周期内无法收到来自所述第一PE设备的故障检测报文。
S206与S201并不限定执行顺序，均是依据故障检测报文进行触发的。所述主PW故障后，如果故障检测报文是双向发送的，所述第二PE设备也将在预定周期内无法收到来自所述第一PE设备的故障检测报文。所述故障检测报文的实现方式参见上述 S201的相应描述，此处不进行赘述。
另外，PW链路属于双向链路，即使PW链路发生单方向故障，也会导致双方PE设备均无法收到对方的故障检测报文。例如，所述第一PE设备和所述第二PE设备相互发送BFD报文，假设所述第一PE设备到所述第二PE设备的方向上出现故障，而所述第而PE设备到所述第一PE设备的方向上正常通信。所述第二PE设备将无法接受到来自所述第一PE设备的BFD报文，所述第二PE设备将端口置为DOWN，从而导致所述第二PE设备不再向所述第一PE设备发送BFD报文。因此，导致所述第一PE设备也无法接受到来自所述第二PE设备的BFD报文。
S207、所述第二PE设备将所述第二PE设备相对于所述主PW的优先转发状态由Balance状态切换为Standby状态，并且向所述第一PE设备发送故障通告报文，所述故障通告报文用于向所述第一PE设备通告所述第二PE设备发现的故障。

所述第二PE设备在确定预定周期内无法收到来自所述第一PE设备的故障检测报文后，将所述第二PE设备相对于所述主PW的优先转发状态由Balance状态切换为Standby状态，并且经由所述主PW向所述第一PE设备发送故障通告报文。其中，所述故障通告报文可以是LDP报文。同样道理，所述第二PE设备还将所述第二PE设备相对于所述Bypass PW的优先转发状态由Balance状态切换为Bypass状态，并且经由所述Bypass PW向所述第三PE设备发送终止报文。其中，所述终止报文是携带着终止状态码的PW状态通知报文，所述PW状态通知报文可以是LDP报文，所述终止状态码例如为0x32。另外，由于主PW故障，所述故障通告报文可能无法被所述第一PE设备接收。
S209、所述第三PE设备接收所述终止报文。
S210、所述第三PE设备根据终止报文所述将所述第三PE设备相对于Bypass PW的优先转发状态由Balance状态切换为Bypass状态。
举例说明，所述第三PE设备经由Bypass PW接收携带着终止状态码的PW状态通知报文，根据所述PW状态通知报文将所述第三PE设备相对于所述Bypass PW的优先转发状态由Balance状态切换为Bypass状态。
通过上述S201-S210的故障处理过程，所述VPWS PW冗余网络的转发模式由流量均衡模式切换为冗余保护模式。并且由于主PW故障，数据流量转发路径为：第一CE设备-第一PE设备-备份PW-第三PE设备-Bypass PW-第二PE设备-主用链路-第二CE设备。当所述故障1被排除后，所述VPWS PW冗余网络可以按照图3所示的实现方式，再次进入流量均衡模式。
图6示出了处理图4中故障2的方法流程图，并且，图6所示的方法是在已经实现图2所示的流量均衡的转发方式的情况下，发生了故障2后的故障处理实现方式。其中，故障2是指第一PE设备和第三PE设备之间的备份PW存在故障。该方法包括：
S301、所述第一设备确定预定周期内无法收到来自所述第三PE设备的故障检测报文。

S303、所述第一设备将所述第一PE设备相对于所述备份PW的优先转发状态由Balance状态切换为Standby状态，并且向所述第三PE设备发送第四报文，所述第四报文用于请求将所述备份PW由Balance状态切换为Standby状态。
基于上述实施例，对于S301-S303的实现过程和故障检测报文、第三报文和第四报文的实现方式，可以参见前述实施例中S201-S203的相应描述，此处不进行赘述。
所述第一PE设备在执行S302和S303时，不限定执行顺序，可以先执行S302后执行S303，也可以先执行S303后执行S302，还可以同时执行。另外，由于备份PW故障，所述第四报文可能无法被所述第三PE设备接收。在这种情况下，所述第一PE设备依然发送所述第四报文是为了减少所述第一PE设备的执行操作的复杂性。
在一种可能的实现方式中，所述第四报文中还可以携带故障码，这种情况下，所述第四报文可以被看做是切换报文和故障通告报文的组合报文。在另一种可能的实现方式中，例如在独立模式下，所述第四报文可以不采用携带着Standby状态码的PW状态通知报文，而是采用携带故障状态码的LDP报文。
S304、所述第二PE设备接收所述第三报文。

举例说明，所述第二PE设备经由Bypass PW接收携带着终止状态码的PW状态通知报文，根据所述PW状态通知报文将所述第二PE设备相对于所述Bypass PW的优先转发状态由Balance状态切换为Bypass状态。
通过上述S301-S310的故障处理过程，所述VPWS PW冗余网络的转发模式由流 量均衡模式切换为冗余保护模式。并且由于备份PW故障，数据流量转发路径为：第一CE设备-第一PE设备-主PW-第二PE设备-主用链路-第二CE设备。当所述故障2被排除后，所述VPWS PW冗余网络可以按照图3所示的实现方式，再次进入流量均衡模式。
图7示出了处理图4中故障3的方法流程图，并且，图7所示的方法是在已经实现图2所示的流量均衡的转发方式的情况下，发生了故障3后的故障处理实现方式。其中，故障3是指第二PE设备和第二CE设备之间的主用链路存在故障。该方法包括：
S401、所述第二PE设备确定预定周期内无法收到来自所述第二CE设备的故障检测报文。
根据前述实施例，所述第二CE设备通过MC-Trunk链路双归属连接到所述VPWSPW冗余网络中的所述第二PE设备和所述第三PE设备。并且，在主/从模式和独立模式中，将所述第二CE设备与所述第二PE设备之间的Eth-Trunk链路协商为主用链路和将所述第二CE设备与所述第三PE设备之间的Eth-Trunk链路协商为备用链路。在图2所示的场景中，从所述第一CE设备发出的数据流量，经过“第一PE设备-主PW-第二PE设备-主用链路”和“第一PE设备-备份PW-第三PE设备-Bypass PW-第二PE设备-主用链路”两条路径转发到所述第二CE设备；从所述第二CE设备发出的数据流量，经过“主用链路-第二PE设备-主PW-第一PE设备”和“主用链路-第二PE设备-Bypass PW-第三PE设备-备份PW-第一PE设备”两条路径转发到所述第一CE设备。
所述第二PE设备和所述第二CE设备相互向对方发送故障检测报文，当第二PE设备确定预定周期内无法收到来自所述第二CE设备的故障检测报文时，所述第二设备可以确定所述主用链路发生故障。所述第二PE设备和所述第二CE设备交互故障检测报文和所述故障检测报文的描述，可以参见前述实施例的描述，此处不进行赘述。
S402、所述第二PE设备确定所述第二PE设备相对于主PW的优先转发状态为Balance状态，保持相对于所述主PW的Balance状态，并且不向第一PE设备发送用于切换所述主PW的Balance状态的报文。
当所述第二PE设备确定预定周期内无法收到来自所述第二CE设备的故障检测报文时，相应的，所述第二CE设备确定预定周期内也无法收到来自所述第二PE设备的故障检测报文。如此这样，所述第二CE设备将触发远端AC侧网络的主用链路和备用链路的主备倒换，从而将数据流量切换到所述备用链路。
在图1所示的场景中，对于主/从模式，在所述第二CE设备触发远端AC侧网络的主用链路和备用链路的主备倒换后，PW侧网络将保持不变。也就是说，所述主PW保持Active状态，所述备份PW保持Standby状态。例如，从所述第一CE设备发出的数据流量，经过“第一PE设备-主PW-第二PE设备-Bypass PW-第三PE设备-备用链路”发到所述第二CE设备。在图1所示的场景中，对于独立模式，在所述第二CE设备触发远端AC侧网络的主用链路和备用链路的主备倒换后，PW侧网络将跟随远端AC侧网络的主备关系进行切换。也就是说，所述主PW保持Standby状态，所述备份PW保持Active状态。例如，从所述第一CE设备发出的数据流量，经过“第一PE设备-备份PW-第三PE设备-备用链路”发到所述第二CE设备。
在图2所示的场景中，所述主PW和所述备份PW均为Balance状态。因此，在主/从模式和独立模式中，所述第二PE设备确定主PW的状态为Balance状态，保持所述主PW的Balance状态，并且不向第一PE设备发送用于切换所述主PW的Balance状态的报文。这样，所述第二PE设备不对所述第二PE设备相对于所述主PW的Balance优先转发状态进行切换，也不向所述第一PE设备发送任何触发报文。从而导致所述第一PE设备保持所述第一PE设备相对于所述主PW的Balance优先转发状态和所述备份PW的Balance优先转发状态，进一步导致所述第三PE设备保持所述第三PE设备相对于所述备份PW的Balance优先转发状态。PW侧网络依然保持流量均衡模式。例如，从所述第一CE设备发出的数据流量，经过“第一PE设备-主PW-第二PE设备-Bypass PW-第三PE设备-备用链路”和“第一PE设备-备份PW-第三PE设备-备用链路”两条路径转发到所述第二CE设备。
图8示出了处理图4中故障4的方法流程图，并且，图8所示的方法是在已经实现图2所示的流量均衡的转发方式的情况下，发生了故障4后的故障处理实现方式。其中，故障4是指第二PE设备存在故障。该方法包括：
S501、第一PE设备确定预定周期内无法收到来自所述第二PE设备的故障检测报文。
S502、所述第一PE设备将所述第一PE设备相对于主PW的优先转发状态由Balance状态切换为Standby状态，并且向所述第二PE设备发送第三报文，所述第三报文用于请求将所述主PW由Balance状态切换为Standby状态。
S503、所述第一PE设备将所述第一PE设备相对于备份PW的优先转发状态由Balance状态切换为Active状态，并且向第三PE设备发送第四报文，所述第四报文用于请求将所述备份PW由Balance状态切换为Active状态。
S504、所述第三PE设备接收所述第四报文。
S505、所述第三PE设备根据所述第四报文将所述第三PE设备相对于所述备份PW的优先转发状态由Balance状态切换为Active状态。
上述S501-S505的实现过程可以参见前述实施例中的S201-S205的相应描述，此处不进行赘述。其中在S502中，所述第二PE设备由于故障将无法接受所述第三报文，但为了减少所述第一PE设备的执行操作的复杂性，所述第一PE设备依然向所述第二PE设备发送所述第三报文。
S506、所述第三PE设备确定预定周期内无法收到来自第二PE设备的故障检测报文。
在图2所示的正常的流量转发场景中，所述第二PE设备和所述第三PE设备经由Bypass PW相互向对方发送故障检测报文，即所述第二PE设备周期的向所述第三PE设备发送故障检测报文，同时所述第三PE设备周期的向所述第二PE设备发送故障检测报文。根据前述实施例，所述故障检测报文可以是BFD报文。如果在预定的周期内，所述第三PE设备没有接收到所述第二PE设备经由所述Bypass PW发送的故障检测报文，所述第三设备可以确定所述Bypass PW或所述第二PE设备出现了故障(本实施例以第二PE设备出现故障为例，Bypass PW故障可参见后续实施例)。
S507、所述第三PE设备将所述第三PE设备相对于Bypass PW的优先转发状态由 Balance状态切换为Bypass状态，并且向第一PE设备发送终止报文，所述终止报文用于指示终止所述Bypass PW的Balance状态。
所述第三PE设备在确定预定周期内无法收到来自所述第二PE设备的故障检测报文后，所述第三PE设备将所述第三PE设备相对于所述Bypass PW的优先转发状态由Balance状态切换为Bypass状态，并且经由所述备份PW向所述第一PE设备发送终止报文。其中，所述终止报文的实现可以参见前述S208的相应描述，此处不进行赘述。
另外，可选的，所述第三PE设备经由所述Bypass PW向所述第二PE设备发送终止报文。由于所述第二PE设备故障，所述终止报文无法被所述第二PE设备接收。所述第三PE设备发送所述终止报文是为了减少所述第三PE设备的执行操作的复杂性。
S508、所述第一PE设备根据所述终止报文，确定所述Bypass PW由Balance状态切换为Bypass状态。
具体的，所述第一PE设备在根据所述终止报文确定所述Bypass PW由Balance状态切换为Bypass状态后，再进行后续数据流量的转发，可以减少丢包的可能。
相应的，由于所述第二PE设备故障，导致第二CE设备触发远端AC侧网络的主用链路和备用链路的主备倒换，从而将数据流量切换到所述备用链路。
通过上述S501-S507的故障处理过程，所述VPWS PW冗余网络的转发模式由流量均衡模式切换为冗余保护模式。并且由于第二PE设备故障，数据流量转发路径为：第一CE设备-第一PE设备-备份PW-第三PE设备-备用链路-第二CE设备。当所述故障4被排除后，所述VPWS PW冗余网络可以按照图3所示的实现方式，再次进入流量均衡模式。
图9示出了处理图4中故障5的方法流程图，并且，图9所示的方法是在已经实现图2所示的流量均衡的转发方式的情况下，发生了故障5后的故障处理实现方式。其中，故障5是指第三PE设备存在故障。该方法包括：
S601、所述第一设备确定预定周期内无法收到来自所述第三PE设备的故障检测报文。
S602、所述第一设备将所述第一PE设备相对于主PW的优先转发状态由Balance状态切换为Active状态，并且向第二PE设备发送第三报文，所述第三报文用于请求将所述主PW由Balance状态切换为Active状态。
S603、所述第一设备将所述第一PE设备相对于所述备份PW的优先转发状态由Balance状态切换为Standby状态，并且向所述第三PE设备发送第四报文，所述第四报文用于请求将所述备份PW由Balance状态切换为Standby状态。

上述S601-S605的实现过程可以参见前述实施例中的S301-S305的相应描述，此处不进行赘述。其中在S603中，所述第三PE设备由于故障将无法接受所述第四报文，但为了减少所述第一PE设备的执行操作的复杂性，所述第一PE设备依然向所述第三PE设备发送所述第四报文。
S606、所述第二PE设备确定预定周期内无法收到来自所述第三PE设备的故障检 测报文。
在图2所示的正常的流量转发场景中，所述第二PE设备和所述第三PE设备经由Bypass PW相互向对方发送故障检测报文，即所述第二PE设备周期的向所述第三PE设备发送故障检测报文，同时所述第三PE设备周期的向所述第二PE设备发送故障检测报文。根据前述实施例，所述故障检测报文可以是BFD报文。如果在预定的周期内，所述第二PE设备没有接收到所述第三PE设备经由所述Bypass PW发送的故障检测报文，所述第二设备可以确定所述Bypass PW或所述第三PE设备出现了故障(本实施例以第三PE设备出现故障为例，Bypass PW故障可参见后续实施例)。
S607、所述第二PE设备将所述第二PE设备相对于Bypass PW的优先转发状态由Balance状态切换为Bypass状态，并且向所述第一PE设备发送终止报文，所述终止报文用于指示终止所述Bypass PW的Balance状态。
所述第二PE设备在确定预定周期内无法收到来自所述第三PE设备的故障检测报文后，所述第二PE设备将所述第二PE设备相对于所述Bypass PW的优先转发状态由Balance状态切换为Bypass状态，并且经由所述主PW向所述第一PE设备发送终止报文。其中，所述终止报文的实现可以参见前述S208的相应描述，此处不进行赘述。
另外，可选的，所述第二PE设备经由所述Bypass PW向所述第三PE设备发送终止报文。由于所述第三PE设备故障，所述终止报文无法被所述第三PE设备接收。所述第二PE设备发送所述终止报文是为了减少所述第二PE设备的执行操作的复杂性。
S608、所述第一PE设备根据所述终止报文，确定所述Bypass PW由Balance状态切换为Bypass状态。
具体的，所述第一PE设备在根据所述终止报文确定所述Bypass PW由Balance状态切换为Bypass状态后，再进行后续数据流量的转发，可以减少丢包的可能。
通过上述S601-S608的故障处理过程，所述VPWS PW冗余网络的转发模式由流量均衡模式切换为冗余保护模式。并且由于第三PE设备故障，数据流量转发路径为：第一CE设备-第一PE设备-主PW-第二PE设备-主用链路-第二CE设备。当所述故障5被排除后，所述VPWS PW冗余网络可以按照图3所示的实现方式，再次进入流量均衡模式。
图10示出了处理图4中故障6的方法流程图，并且，图10所示的方法是在已经实现图2所示的流量均衡的转发方式的情况下，发生了故障6后的故障处理实现方式。其中，故障6是指第二PE设备与第三PE设备之间的Bypass PW存在故障。该方法包括：
S701、所述第二PE设备确定预定周期内无法收到来自所述第三PE设备的故障检测报文。
S702、所述第二PE设备将所述第二PE设备相对于Bypass PW的优先转发状态由Balance状态切换为Bypass状态，并且向所述第一PE设备发送终止报文，所述终止报文用于指示终止所述Bypass PW的Balance状态。
上述S701-S702的实现过程可以参见前述实施例中的S606-S607的相应描述，此处不进行赘述。
S703、所述第三PE设备确定预定周期内无法收到来自第二PE设备的故障检测报 文。
S704、所述第三PE设备将所述第三PE设备相对于Bypass PW的优先转发状态由Balance状态切换为Bypass状态，并且向第一PE设备发送终止报文，所述终止报文用于指示终止所述Bypass PW的Balance状态。
上述S703-S704的实现过程可以参见前述实施例中的S506-S507的相应描述，此处不进行赘述。
S705、所述第一PE设备接收来自所述第二PE设备和所述第三PE设备的终止报文。
上述S705的实现过程可以参见前述实施例中的S508和S608的相应描述。根据上述S508和S608的相应描述，如果所述第一PE设备只接收到来自所述第二PE设备的终止报文或者只接收到来自所述第三PE设备的终止报文，所述第一PE设备将无法确定所述Bypass PW存在故障。这是由于所述第二PE设备或所述第三PE设备故障可能导致终止报文无法发出。因此，所述第一PE设备根据能够收到来自所述第二PE设备的终止报文和来自所述第三PE设备的终止报文的情况，可以确定所述Bypass PW存在故障，并触发S706和S707步骤。
S706、所述第一设备将所述第一PE设备相对于主PW的优先转发状态由Balance状态切换为Active状态，并且向第二PE设备发送第三报文，所述第三报文用于请求将所述主PW由Balance状态切换为Active状态。
S707、所述第一设备将所述第一PE设备相对于所述备份PW的优先转发状态由Balance状态切换为Standby状态，并且向所述第三PE设备发送第四报文，所述第四报文用于请求将所述备份PW由Balance状态切换为Standby状态。
上述S706-S707的实现过程可以参见前述实施例中的S302-S303的相应描述，此处不进行赘述。
S708、所述第二PE设备接收所述第三报文。
S709、所述第二PE设备根据所述第三报文将所述第二PE设备相对于所述主PW的优先转发状态由Balance状态切换为Active状态。
结合前述实施例，举例说明，所述第二PE设备经由主PW接收携带着Active状态码的PW状态通知报文，根据所述PW状态通知报文将所述第二PE设备相对于所述主PW的优先转发状态由Balance状态切换为Active状态。
S710、所述第三PE设备接收所述第四报文。
S711、所述第三PE设备根据所述第四报文将所述第三PE设备相对于所述备份PW的优先转发状态由Balance状态切换为Standby状态。
结合前述实施例，举例说明，所述第三PE设备经由备份PW接收携带着Standby状态码的PW状态通知报文，根据所述PW状态通知报文将所述第一PE设备相对于所述备份PW的优先转发状态由Balance状态切换为Standby状态。
通过上述S701-S711的故障处理过程，所述VPWS PW冗余网络的转发模式由流量均衡模式切换为冗余保护模式。并且由于Bypass PW故障，数据流量转发路径为：第一CE设备-第一PE设备-主PW-第二PE设备-主用链路-第二CE设备。当所述故障6被排除后，所述VPWS PW冗余网络可以按照图3所示的实现方式，再次进入流量 均衡模式。
