Description

Signal degradation processing method and device and node equipment
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a signal degradation processing method and apparatus, and a node device.
Background
The most basic goal of the evolution of the development of telecommunication transport networks is to reduce the cost of information transfer in communications. With the expansion of packet access bandwidth and the deployment of Next Generation Networks (NGN), time-division channelized transport has been difficult to meet this basic goal. In order to meet the requirement of information transmission, a packet transmission technology oriented to connection is a development trend of a transmission network.
In the connection-oriented Packet Transport technology, Transport Multi-Protocol Label Switching (T-MPLS, Transport-Multi-Protocol Label Switching) is a Packet Transport Network (PTN) technology standardized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU-T), which can solve the problem of low efficiency of a conventional Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) exposed in a Network environment in which Packet Switching is mainly used, and is a mainstream Packet Transport technology. The data forwarding plane of the T-MPLS network is a subset of Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS), and forwarding is performed based on the T-MPLS Label, which removes the connectionless forwarding characteristic based on IP, and increases end-to-end operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) and protection recovery functions. And the T-MPLS Network uses an automatic Switched Optical Network/Generalized multiprotocol Label Switching (ASON/GMPLS, automatic Switched Optical Network/Generalized Multi-protocol Label Switching) as its control plane.
In the process of information transmission using a T-MPLS network, packet loss in a Label Switching Path (LSP) is mainly caused by the following two reasons: one is packet loss caused by node congestion, and the other is packet loss caused by line errors or errors of an interconnection bus inside the node, and the packet loss is caused by the line errors. A Signal anomaly (SF) detection concept and a Signal Degradation (SD) detection concept have been proposed for the packet loss problem, where the Signal anomaly is a problem that a packet cannot be received within a set time due to a packet loss, and the Signal degradation is a problem that a packet loss is caused by a line error, and the error rate of a line increases.
In the prior art, according to the definition of ITU-T Recommendation g.8114/y.1373, for the concept of signal anomaly detection, once a fault condition is detected, including the loss of continuity, the mix of errors, the levels of undesired Maintenance Entity Group end Point (MEP) and undesired Maintenance Entity Group (MEG), the MEP declares the entry of a signal anomaly condition. A signal anomaly may also be declared by a terminal at the server layer, thereby informing the server/Ethernet (ETH, Ethernet) adaptation function (e.g., server MEP) about a failure condition at the server layer. However, in the prior art, there is no suggestion on how to perform signal degradation declaration.
And according to the definition of ITU-T y.1731, configured MEPs (including server MEPs) can send out frames with Ethernet Alarm Indication Signal function (ETH-AIS) information. Upon detection of a signal anomaly, the MEP may immediately begin periodically sending frames with ETH-AIS information at the configured customer MEG level until the signal anomaly is resolved. Upon receiving a frame with ETH-AIS information, an MEP detects an Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) condition, suppressing alarms associated with loss of continuity (LOC) faults associated with all of its peer MEPs. The MEP will resume generating alarms for loss of continuity faults when it detects a loss of continuity fault without AIS. For the AIS message, corresponding blocking or non-blocking operations are performed on detecting LOC, Unexpected Period (Unexpected Period), receiving AIS frame, detecting error mixing, Unexpected mep (Unexpected mep), and detecting Unexpected MEG Level (Unexpected MEG Level), but in the prior art, there is no relevant suggestion on how to operate for signal degradation.

Detailed Description
The technical scheme of the invention is explained by combining the drawings and various embodiments in the specification. Aiming at the problem that the prior art does not have related operation aiming at signal degradation in the process of information transmission by utilizing the T-MPLS technology, the embodiment of the invention provides a processing method aiming at the signal degradation.
The first embodiment,
An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for processing signal degradation, as shown in fig. 1, which is a flowchart of steps of the method, and specifically includes:
step 001, the node equipment determines to generate a signal degradation alarm.
The node device may determine to generate the signal degradation alarm by:
firstly, when detecting that the packet error rate of the span to which the node device belongs is higher than a first set value, the node device determines to generate a signal degradation alarm.
Secondly, the node equipment receives the signal degradation information and determines to generate a signal degradation alarm according to the received signal degradation information.
At step 002, the node device determines the type of signal degradation alarm that is generated.
And step 003, the node equipment performs signal degradation processing.
The method specifically comprises the following steps: if the determined type is the FEI alarm, the node equipment generates an interface alarm and ends the processing flow, and if the determined type is the SD alarm, the node equipment performs tunnel switching.
Example II,
According to the method provided by the first embodiment of the present invention, a second embodiment of the present invention further provides a signal degradation processing apparatus, as shown in fig. 2, which is a schematic structural diagram of the apparatus, and specifically includes:
the alarm determination module 01 is used for determining that the node equipment where the device is located generates a signal degradation alarm; the type determining module 02 is used for determining the type of the signal degradation alarm determined by the alarm determining module; the alarm processing module 03 is configured to control the node device where the apparatus is located to generate an interface alarm and end the processing flow when the type determined by the type determination module is an FEI alarm, and control the node device where the apparatus is located to perform tunnel switching when the type determined by the type determination module is an SD alarm.
The alarm determining module 01 specifically includes:
the detection submodule 011 is used for judging whether the packet error rate of the span section to which the node equipment where the device is positioned belongs is higher than a first set value; the alarm determining submodule 012 is configured to determine that the node device of the apparatus generates a signal degradation alarm when the detection submodule determines that the packet error rate of the span to which the node device belongs is higher than a first set value.
The alarm determination module 01 may further include:
the receiving submodule 013 is configured to receive signal degradation information;
the alarm determining submodule 012 may be further configured to determine, when the receiving submodule receives the signal degradation information, the node device where the apparatus is located to generate a signal degradation alarm according to the received signal degradation information.
According to the prior art, the T-MPLS network model is shown in fig. 3, and includes an application layer (Client Server), a Path layer (TMC, T-MPLS Channel), a Channel layer (TMP, T-MPLS Path), a segment layer (TMS, T-MPLS Section), and an interface layer (PHY MEDIA), which correspond to the Path layer, the Channel layer, the segment layer, and the interface layer, respectively, and one node of the T-MPLS network may include a TMC module, a TMP module, a TMS module, and an interface module. Of course, according to the definition of T-MPLS, the node further includes an OAM module for performing end-to-end operation, management, and maintenance, and the TMP module may include a Tunnel sub-module and a Tunnel Group sub-module. If the node is a non-head node in the tunnel to which the node belongs, the node does not include a TMC layer, and the entity configuration of the TMC module does not exist.
According to the method provided by the first embodiment of the present invention, after signal degradation is generated, signal degradation may be processed in the TMS layer, the TMP layer, and the TMC layer, respectively, in a manner that signal degradation information is reported in the middle layers of the interface layer, the TMS layer, the TMP layer, and the TMC layer of the head node and the non-head node in the tunnel.
Fig. 4 is a network topology diagram of an application scenario of the signal degradation processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the network topology diagram includes switchable working tunnels and protection tunnels (tunnels 1 and 2), and tunnels 1 and 2 are both bidirectional static tunnels.
The Tunnel1 comprises a node 201, a node 202, a node 203 and a node 205, wherein the node 201 and the node 205 are head nodes of the Tunnel1, and the node 202 and the node 203 are non-head nodes of the Tunnel 1; node 201, node 204 and node 205 are included in Tunnel2, where node 201 and node 205 are head nodes of Tunnel2, and node 204 is a non-head node of Tunnel 2. And Tunnel1 includes span 1 between node 201 and node 202, span 2 between node 202 and node 203, and span 3 between node 203 and node 205; tunnel2 includes span 4 between node 201 and node 204, and span 5 between node 204 and node 205.
The manner in which the signal degradation processing is performed by the head node and the non-head node in the tunnel is different. For example, when the signal degradation occurs in span 1 between the node 201 and the node 202 in the Tunnel1, both the node 201 and the node 202 perform the signal degradation processing, and since the node 201 and the node 202 are respectively the head node (node 201) and the non-head node (node 202) in the Tunnel1, the signal degradation processing is performed in different manners between the node 201 and the node 202. The following describes the signal degradation processing method according to the first embodiment of the present invention in detail, taking the node 201 (head node) and the node 202 (non-head node) as examples.
Example III,
A third embodiment of the present invention provides a signal degradation processing method, taking a header node 201 of Tunnel in fig. 4 as an example, where a flow of steps of the method is shown in fig. 5, and the method specifically includes:
step 101, the processing module determines that a signal degradation alarm is generated.
In the head node, the processing module may be a TMS module, a TMP module or a TMC module. That is, in the present embodiment, the signal degradation processing device according to the second embodiment is integrated in at least one of the TMS module, the TMP module, and the TMC module. The function of the processing module in the present embodiment may be regarded as a function of the signal degradation processing device. The processing module may determine that a signal degradation alarm is generated by:
firstly, when a detection submodule configured in a processing module detects that the packet error rate of a span to which a node where the processing module is located belongs is higher than a first set value, a signal degradation alarm is determined to be generated.
The reason for the signal degradation is packet loss caused by errors in the line (interface layer, such as optical fiber, copper cable or wireless), and the probability of error occurrence is equal for each bit in each tunnel passing through the line, which is approximately completely random packet loss. Therefore, for packet loss caused by line error code, the error rate of a line corresponding to a span is approximately equal to the error rate of the span in the tunnel. If the average packet length of the line is approximately equal to the average packet length of the tunnel, the packet error rate of the line corresponding to one span is approximately equal to the packet error rate of the span in the tunnel. Therefore, for a node, whether signal degradation is generated at the node can be determined by detecting the packet error rate of the span to which the node belongs.
For example, when two nodes are connected through an ethernet physical port, for each ethernet physical port, a Frame Check Sequence (FCS) may be used to detect whether an error occurs in a packet received by the ethernet physical port, and when the calculated FCS of the received packet is different from the FCS stored in the packet, it may be determined that the error occurs in the packet. At this time, the packet error rate of a span can be determined by the following method:
FCS error packet number detected in t0 period/total packet number received in t0 period
The FCS error packet number comprises an FCS error frame, an overlong frame number and an overlong frame number. the t0 period may be set to 1 second. If the packet error rate is higher than the set ratio r1 in the set t0 period, r1 can be set to 1E-7It is determined that a signal degradation alarm is generated.
Specifically, it may be considered that a first alarm with a lower alarm level, such as a Forward error notification (FEI) alarm, is generated when the packet error rate is higher than the set ratio r1, and r2 may be set to 1 when the packet error rate is higher than the set ratio r2E-6In the following embodiments, the first alarm is taken as an FEI alarm, and the second alarm is taken as an SD alarm, for example, though the second alarm with a higher alarm level, such as a Signal Degrade alarm, is generated.
To implement Tunnel switching, the number of FCS error packets may be detected between any two adjacent nodes of Tunnel1 and Tunnel2 shown in fig. 2, thereby determining whether signal degradation has occurred in each node.
When the proxy module is a TMP module, the TMP module may use a Loss Measurement function (LM) module as a detection sub-module, and carry statistical information of the ethernet physical port (including FCS error packet number detected in t0 period and total packet number received in t0 period) through the LM module, and the TMP OAM sub-module periodically obtains the statistical information and calculates it, thereby determining whether signal degradation occurs in the node.
And secondly, the processing module receives the signal degradation information, and determines that a signal degradation alarm is generated according to the received signal degradation information when the processing module is not provided with a detection submodule.
The signal degradation information may be carried in a FEI message.
The source of the signal degradation information may be any one of the following three sources:
in the first mode, the signal degradation information may be reported by an interface module of a node where the processing module is located. Specifically, when the detection submodule configured in the interface module detects that the packet error rate of the span to which the node where the interface module is located belongs is higher than the second set value, the interface module may determine the corresponding processing module according to its own configuration information, and report the signal degradation information to the determined processing module. If the corresponding processing module configured on the interface module is the TMS module, the determined TMS module reporting the signal degradation information is reported, and if the corresponding processing module configured on the interface module is the TMP module, the determined TMP module reporting the signal degradation information is reported.
And in the second mode, the signal degradation information is reported to the first processing module when the second processing module cannot realize tunnel switching after the second processing module determines the type of the signal degradation alarm.
For example, when the TMS module (the second processing module) cannot implement the tunnel switching, the signal degradation information will be sent to the TMS module (the first processing module).
And in a third mode, the signal degradation information is sent after the OAM module receives the signal degradation information sent by the non-head node in the tunnel, wherein the tunnel is the tunnel to which the node where the processing module is located belongs.
Because the non-head node in the tunnel does not include a TMC layer nor an entity configuration of the TMC module, when the TMP module in the non-head node cannot implement tunnel switching, the OAM module in the non-head node is notified to send signal degradation processing information to the head node in the opposite direction where the alarm occurs in the tunnel to which the non-head node belongs. Specifically, the OAM module in the non-head node sends the signal degradation processing information to the OAM module in the opposite direction head node, and the OAM module in the opposite direction head node may send the signal degradation information to a processing module, such as a TMP module, in the opposite direction head node according to the received signal degradation processing information.
Step 102, the processing module determines the type of the signal degradation alarm.
The processing module may determine the type of the signal degradation alarm according to the packet error rate of the span to which the node where the processing module is located belongs. Whether the packet error rate is higher than a set threshold value or not can be judged, if so, the type of the signal degradation alarm can be determined to be an FEI alarm, and if so, the type of the signal degradation alarm can be determined to be an SD alarm, and the first threshold value is smaller than the second threshold value. Of course, threshold values for FEI alarm and SD alarm are necessarily set in the interface module (such as SDH/ETH), TMS module, TMP module, TMC module.
Preferably, when the processing module determines whether a signal degradation alarm is generated according to the FEI message, the type of the signal degradation alarm may be determined according to an alarm type identifier, such as an SD identifier, in the FEI message, and specifically, the SD identifier may be set to 0 to indicate that the type of the signal degradation alarm is the FEI alarm, and the SD identifier is set to 1 to indicate that the type of the signal degradation alarm is the SD alarm.
Specifically, when the processing module is a TMP module, the type of the signal degradation alarm may be determined by a Tunnel sub-module in the TMP module.
And 103, performing signal degradation processing by the processing module according to the type of the signal degradation alarm.
In this step, if the type determined in step 102 is the FEI alarm, the processing module generates an interface alarm and ends the processing flow, and if the type is the SD alarm, the processing module performs tunnel switching.
The Tunnel Group submodule can be set to perform Tunnel switching, and the TMS module is set to send signal degradation information to the TMP module, which includes the following three conditions:
when the processing module is the TMS module, the tunnel switching by the processing module specifically includes:
and the TMS module judges whether the TMS module is in the ring network protection, if so, the TMS module informs a Tunnel Group submodule in the TMP module to carry out Tunnel switching, and finishes the processing flow when the switching is successful, and sends signal degradation information to the TMP module when the switching is failed or the TMS module is determined not to be in the ring network protection.
Secondly, when the processing module is a TMP module, the tunnel switching by the processing module specifically includes:
the Tunnel submodule in the TMP module judges whether the module is in linear Tunnel protection:
if yes, informing the Tunnel Group submodule to carry out Tunnel switching, and finishing the processing flow when the switching is successful;
when the handover fails or it is determined that the Tunnel sub-module is not in the linear Tunnel protection, since the node where the Tunnel sub-module is located is the head node, in this step, the signal degradation information may be sent to the TMC layer.
After receiving the SD alarm, the agent module notifies the Tunnel Group submodule to perform Tunnel switching, which specifically includes: after the agent module receives the SD alarm, it notifies the corresponding switching algorithm module, such as Automatic Protection Switching (APS), and after the switching algorithm module obtains the corresponding switching policy, it notifies the Tunnel Group sub-module to perform Tunnel switching.
Thirdly, when the processing module is a TMC module, the tunnel switching by the processing module specifically includes:
the TMC module informs a Pseudo Wire (PW) redundancy group to perform tunnel switching.
When the Tunnel Group sub-module is set not to perform Tunnel switching, under the first and second conditions, when the TMP module needs to perform Tunnel switching according to the requirement of the TMS module or the requirement of the TMP module, the TMP module sends signal degradation information to the TMC module to request the TMC module to perform Tunnel switching. Specifically, the TMP module may send Service Signal Degradation (SSD) information to the TMC module.
When the processing module determines that a signal degradation alarm is generated according to the received signal degradation information, after step 101 and before step 102, the method may further include:
step 102', the OAM module announces that a signal degradation alarm is being generated.
When the processing module is a TMS module, the method specifically comprises the following steps: and the TMS module informs the OAM module to require the TMS OAM submodule in the OAM module to announce that a signal degradation alarm is generated on the TMS layer.
When the processing module is a TMP module, the method specifically comprises the following steps: the TMP module notifies the OAM module requesting the TMP OAM submodule in the OAM module to announce that a signal degradation alarm is generated at the TMP layer.
When the processing module is a TMC module, the steps specifically include: the TMC module notifies the OAM module requesting the TMC OAM sub-module in the OAM module to announce that a signal degradation alarm is generated at the TMC layer.
According to the method provided by the third embodiment of the present invention, when a head node in a tunnel is degraded, the TMS module, the TMP module, and the TMC module of the tunnel can be used to implement signal degradation processing, and corresponding signal degradation processing can be performed according to the type of a signal degradation alarm. The third embodiment of the invention also provides a plurality of modes for determining the generation of the signal degradation alarm. And the OAM module in the third embodiment of the present invention may also notify the signal degradation alarm generated in each layer.
Example four,
A fourth embodiment of the present invention provides a signal degradation processing method, taking a non-head node 202 of Tunnel in fig. 4 as an example, where a flow of steps of the method is shown in fig. 6, and specifically includes:
in step 201, the processing module determines that a signal degradation alarm is generated.
In the non-head node, the processing module may be a TMS module or a TMP module, that is, in the present embodiment, the TMS module and/or the TMP module is integrated with the signal degradation processing device related to the second embodiment. The function of the processing module in the present embodiment may be regarded as a function of the signal degradation processing device.
The manner of determining that the signal degradation alarm is generated by the processing module is the same as the manner described in step 101 of the embodiment, and is not described herein again.
In step 202, the processing module determines the type of the signal degradation alarm.
The method for determining the type of the signal degradation alarm by each processing module in this embodiment is the same as the method described in step 102 in this embodiment, and is not described herein again.
Step 203, the processing module performs signal degradation processing according to the type of the signal degradation alarm.
The specific method for performing tunnel switching by the TMS module is the same as the specific method for performing tunnel switching by the TMS module in step 103 of the embodiment, and is not described herein again.
The Tunnel Group sub-module can be set to perform Tunnel switching, and the Tunnel switching performed by the TMP module specifically includes:
the Tunnel submodule in the TMP module judges whether the module is in linear Tunnel protection:
if yes, informing the Tunnel Group submodule to carry out Tunnel switching, and finishing the processing flow when the switching is successful;
when the switching fails or the Tunnel submodule is determined not to be in the linear Tunnel protection, because the node where the Tunnel submodule is located is the non-head node, in this step, the OAM module may be notified to send the signal degradation processing information to the head node in the opposite direction where the alarm occurs in the Tunnel to which the non-head node belongs, and the relevant module in the head node is required to perform the Tunnel switching operation. When the non-head node is node 202, if the direction in which the alarm occurs in Tunnel1 is node 201 to node 205, node 202 may send signal degradation processing information to node 205.
When it is set that the Tunnel Group sub-module cannot perform Tunnel switching, and when the TMP module needs to perform Tunnel switching according to the requirement of the TMS module or according to the requirement of the TMP module itself, the OAM module may be notified to send signal degradation processing information to the head node in the opposite direction where the alarm occurs in the Tunnel to which the non-head node belongs, and a relevant module in the head node is required to perform Tunnel switching operation. Specifically, the TMP module may transmit the signal degradation processing information to the TMC module through the SSD information.
The non-head node may transmit the signal degradation information to the designated head node at a set period t1, and the default value of t1 may be 1 second, or may be set to transmit the signal degradation processing information to the designated head node when the handover fails or it is determined that the Tunnel sub-module is not under linear Tunnel protection.
When a non-head node transmits signal degradation processing information to a designated head node at a set period t1, the effective time of the signal degradation processing information in the head node may be 3 × t1, that is, within the time of 3 × t1, if the head node does not receive the signal degradation processing information retransmitted by the non-head node, the head node may perform signal degradation processing based on the signal degradation processing information received last time, and if the signal degradation processing information retransmitted by the non-head node is not received beyond the time of 3 × t1, the head node may regard that the signal degradation of the non-head node is disappeared and generate a notification that a corresponding signal degradation alarm is disappeared.
When the processing module determines that a signal degradation alarm is generated according to the received signal degradation information, after step 201 and before step 202, the method may further include:
step 202', the OAM module announces that a signal degradation alarm is being generated.
The method for generating the signal degradation alarm notification by the OAM module in this step for each processing module in this embodiment is the same as that in step 102' in the first embodiment, and is not described herein again.
According to the method provided by the fourth embodiment of the present invention, when signal degradation occurs in a non-head node in a tunnel, signal degradation processing may be performed by using the TMS module and the TMP module in the non-head node, and when signal degradation processing cannot be completed by itself, signal degradation processing may be performed by using a head node that is in the same tunnel as the non-head node and has an opposite direction to an alarm direction.
The invention provides the following node devices based on the same inventive concept as the third embodiment and the fourth embodiment.
Example V,
A fifth embodiment of the present invention provides a node device, which corresponds to the function of the head node in the third embodiment, as shown in fig. 7, the node device includes a path layer TMC module 11, a channel layer TMP module 12, a segment layer TMS module 13, an interface module 14, and an operation, administration, and maintenance OAM module 15, and any one of the TMC module 11, the TMP module 12, and the TMS module 13 may be used as a processing module:
