Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the communications field, particularly, relate to a kind of medium access control (Media Access Control abbreviates MAC as) address learning method and system based on virtual special local area network service (Virtual Private LAN Service abbreviates VPLS as) dual-home network.
Background technology
The virtual special local area network service is to be used for realizing on public network two-layer VPN (the Virtual Private Network of multiple spot to multiple spot, Virtual Private Network) virtual private network technology of function, it can make the user who is in different websites connect by wide area network or metropolitan area network, form a virtual local area network (LAN) thus, each VLAN is called a VFI (VirtualForward Instance, Virtual Switch Instance) or VSI (Virtual Switch Instance, virtual switch instance).
Particularly, the VPLS technology is based upon MPLS (Multi-Protocol LabelSwitching, the multi protocol label exchange) on the infrastructure of network, mainly comprise: PE (Provider Edge, provider edge equipment) router, P (Provider, operator's equipment), LDP (Label Distribution Protocol, tag distribution protocol) and LSPTunnel (Label Switch Path Tunnel, the label switched tunnel), wherein, pe router has and safeguards link information with its two layers of transparent transmissions that directly link to each other, and the P router only is responsible for carrying out label and is specially sent out.Pe router is responsible for VPN client's general data bag is marked and remove mark, by the VC (Virtual Circuit, virtual circuit) between the PE packet is sent to the opposite end then, and pe router must be an edge labelling switch router.
As shown in Figure 1, be the general network environment schematic diagram of VPLS.Wherein, terminal 1, terminal 2, terminal 3 are linked into respectively on three different PE equipment, between these three PE equipment by a MPLS network mutual communication that is structured on the wide area network.Three PE equipment are in the same VPLS territory, and opposite end (peer) each other between any two, and by AC (Attachment Circuit, access link) three terminals are linked in this VPLS territory.Like this, three station terminal equipment just are in the virtual local area network (LAN), can be as being connected same the communication on the switch.Introduce the broadcasting phenomenon in the VPLS territory below.
In the VPLS territory, the forwarding of packet is based on that the target MAC (Media Access Control) address of packet carries out.When terminal 1 when terminal 2 sends packets, if PE1 equipment is not known the outgoing interface of target MAC (Media Access Control) address, then PE1 equipment can send to PE2 equipment and PE3 equipment with this packet with the form of broadcasting, the source MAC of this packet under the PE1 equipment records then is as the MAC Address of local CE; PE2 and PE3 receive after this packet, note source MAC too, different with PE1 is, because the not local CE of this packet sends, but opposite end (peer) (being PE1 equipment) forward, so be to be recorded as the remote MAC Address.When processing and the said process of terminal 2 when terminal 1 sends packet similar.Final result is that the MAC Address of the last record of PE1 terminal 1 is a local mac address, and the MAC Address of terminal 2 is the remote MAC Address; The MAC Address of the last record of PE2 terminal 2 is a local mac address, and the MAC Address of terminal 1 is the remote MAC Address.When transmitting the packet of identical purpose MAC once more afterwards, just phenomenon can not appear broadcasting again.
In order to improve the reliability of network, introduced double-attaching technology, it can provide link backup, node backup and load sharing function, is the protection mechanism that present operator extensively adopts.Double-attaching technology to VPLS in RFC4762 has carried out detailed networking explanation, is briefly described below in conjunction with Fig. 2.
MTU-s (Multi-Tenant Unit, rent the unit more) set up two PW (Pseudo wire with PE1-rs and PE3-rs respectively, virtual link), as can be seen from Figure 2, wherein one is the main PW that uses, connect PE1-rs (PE with two layers of function of exchange represents with PE-rs), other one is standby PW, connects PE3-rs.When the master disconnected with PW or abnormal conditions occur, MTU-s switched to flow on the standby PW automatically.Because PE1-rs can the main PW fault of using of perception, and PE2-rs can't perception, so switching in a period of time of standby PW, MAC on the PE2-rs (Media Access Control, the medium access control) outlet of transmitting still connects PE1-rs, causes flow to arrive PE1-rs and can't continue afterwards to transmit.In order to address this problem, defined a kind of TLV (TypeLength Value, type lengths values) among the RFC4762, be MAC list TLV, types value is 0x0404, and this TLV is included in the withdrawal message of LDP, comprising the d/d MAC Address of all needs.
Show the structural representation of withdrawal message as Fig. 3, comprising: type (Type), length (Length), and the d/d MAC Address of a plurality of needs comprise MAC address# 1, MAC address# 2, MAC address#n etc.
The withdrawal message that MTU-s sends as shown in Figure 3 by standby PW after the main PW of using fault arrives PE3-rs, and PE3-rs is forwarded to PE1-rs and PE2-rs again, promptly removes corresponding M AC list item after PE1-rs and PE2-rs receive.
Even carry out aforesaid operations, when switching, still can there be some problems.For example, in Fig. 2, MTU-s just inserts a pair of PE, be connected with standby PW with PW with main respectively, but MTU-s also may be linked into the 3rd even more PEn-rs, as shown in Figure 4.In this case, if above-mentioned PE is in same VPLS territory, then when main break down with PW switch to standby PW after, MTU-s is before relearning the far-end MAC Address, packet will send in the mode of broadcasting all with PE that MTU-s is connected on, waste bandwidth so not only, and influence information security.

In specific implementation process, in order to guarantee the ageing of MAC Address that a PE10 obtains, need obtain MAC Address at set intervals one time, therefore, PE10 in said system can also comprise first timer, be used to calculate the time of setting, and when the time of setting arrives, trigger acquisition module 202 and obtain local mac address.
And, for fear of the main flow concussion that causes with the state labile of PW, after recovering normally with PW, the master flow is not switched back at once, but finish switching again after waiting for a time, therefore, in MTU-s30, also comprise: second timer, recover the back startup main with PW, and when arriving the default time, trigger second binding module MAC Address of preserving is tied to the main PW that uses, it is main with behind the PW that this has guaranteed that flow switches to from standby PW, and flow can correctly arrive the destination.
From foregoing description as can be known, by main with the PW fault before, MTU-s learns the MAC Address of the destination that will arrive in advance, avoided main with the PW fault after, the broadcasting behavior when flow switches to standby PW.
Method embodiment
In an embodiment of the present invention, provide a kind of MAC address learning method, in the method based on the VPLS dual-home network, before active/standby PW switches, at first MAC is recorded on the standby PW, but does not participate in transmitting, after switching generation, can avoid packet broadcasting.With Fig. 4 is example, and the MAC that learns on the MTU-s is the access port MAC Address that PE2-rs connects CE, i.e. AC side MAC Address (CE that PE2-rs hangs down among the figure does not mark).MTU-s learns after the MAC Address, and it is bundled on the upstream Interface of standby PW.Be described in detail below in conjunction with Fig. 6.
Fig. 6 shows the flow chart based on the MAC address learning method of VPLS dual-home network according to the inventive method embodiment, wherein, comprise MTU-s and a plurality of PE in the VPLS dual-home network, it is main with PW and standby PW that MTU-s and being connected to is provided with between the opposite end PE of a PE of CE, and this method comprises:
Step S602, a PE (being PE2-rs in Fig. 4) regularly obtains local mac address, and the MAC Address of obtaining is sent to all opposite end PE of a PE;
Step S604 for each opposite end PE, uses corresponding PW to receive respectively and the preservation MAC Address, is not used at the PW that receives MAC Address under the situation of flow forwarding MAC Address being tied to the PW that receives MAC Address, and MAC Address is transmitted to MTU-s;
Step S606, MTU-s receive and preserve MAC Address, and MAC Address is tied to the PW that receives MAC Address.
As can be seen from the above description, by before the master is with the PW fault, make MTU-s learn the MAC Address of the destination that will arrive in advance, so just avoided after the main PW of using fault, broadcasting behavior when flow switches to standby PW, and then avoided the waste of this type of bandwidth, also can not cause the leakage of information.
In the specific embodiment process, the concrete operations of step S602 are: a PE writes MAC list type length value (MAC listTLV) with the local mac address that regularly obtains; MAC list type length value is added address message; By PW address message is sent to all opposite end PE.Address message in this preferred embodiment can be LDPAddress Message.
The one PE joins the MAC list TLV that has defined among the RFC in the LDP message of an appointment, i.e. LDP Address Message along PW sends to all opposite ends of a PE with LDPAddress Message main before with the PW fault.MAC list TLV stipulates must join among the Address ListTLV of Address Withdraw Message in RFC, is used for announcing the MAC Address of recovery.The preferred embodiment is applied in a flexible way MAC list TLV in other message, be used for announcing the MAC Address that needs record, and LDPAddress Message meets this behavior of announcement MAC Address as a kind of message of announcing type.
Fig. 7 shows the structural representation of above-mentioned LDP Address Message, wherein also comprise: address style value (Address (0x0300)) except Address List TLV, message-length (Message Length), message id (Message ID), and parameter options (Optional Parameters).
Before in step S604, MAC Address being transmitted to MTU-s, whether being in same VPLS territory and being in same VPLS territory if judge the opposite end PE of a PE, and judge whether the opposite end of opposite end PE is in same aspect with opposite end PE with its opposite end PE.Concrete judge as described in the above-mentioned system embodiment.
When MTU-s when standby PW receives LDP Address Message, under main situation about breaking down with PW, MTU-s switches to standby PW, and use sends packet with the MAC Address that standby PW binds.Flow after active/standby PW switches just can correctly be forwarded to the destination like this.
Can in time correctly obtain MAC Address in order to ensure a PE, the MAC Address that makes MTU-s learn is up-to-date, can in a PE first timer be set, at first timer to obtaining local mac address constantly.Can guarantee to switch the correct transmission of back flow like this at active/standby PW.
Fig. 8 shows the concrete process chart based on the MAC address learning method of VPLS dual-home network according to the inventive method embodiment, is elaborated according to the specific implementation process below.
Step S801 at first sets up n bar PW, and wherein two is exactly the active/standby PW that mentions among the RFC, is connected to PE1-rs and PE3-rs respectively, and other PW connects PEn-rs;
Step S802, the selection of active/standby PW can use the LDP agreement to carry out Path selection according to the suggestion of RFC, perhaps makes by hand and specifies;
Ageing for the MAC Address that guarantees to send from PE2-rs needs just to send once at set intervals, and therefore timer is set on PE2-rs.
Step S803 goes up the startup first timer at PE2-rs (an above-mentioned PE).
After timer sets, whenever, just obtain local mac address one time through a timer time PE2-rs, write MAC list TLV, send a LDP Address Message by PW to the opposite end of all PE2-rs then, wherein carried MAC list TLV.
Step S804, LDP Address Message at first is sent to all peer of PE2-rs, comprises PE1-rs and PE3-rs.PE3-rs receives after this message, extracts MAC list TLV wherein, notes wherein MAC Address and corresponding PW then.Like this, switch if active/standby PW takes place MTU-s, flow just can utilize the MAC Address of preserving to send to PE2-rs after arriving PE3-rs, and can not make flow be broadcasted because of the MAC Address that does not have the destination.
PE3-rs also needs LDP Address Message is forwarded to MTU-s after having write down MAC Address, otherwise does not still know the MAC Address of destination on MTU-s.
Step S805, PE3-rs (other peer that also comprise PE2-rs certainly are as the PE1-rs among Fig. 4, PEn-rs) judges the opposite end and oneself is HUB neighbours or SPOKE neighbours; If PE3-rs and opposite end are HUB neighbours, just represent that this opposite end is MTU-s scarcely, execution in step S807 then, otherwise, if PE3-rs and opposite end are SPOKE neighbours, just represent that this opposite end is MTU-s, then execution in step S806;
Before execution in step S805, PE3-rs at first uses determination methods among the said system embodiment and judges that whether and lay oneself open in the same VPLS territory its opposite end, because the opposite end that only is in the same VPLS territory just can be forwarded, in judged result ability execution in step S805 under the situation that is.
Step S806, PE3-rs need transmit LDP Address Message to its opposite end;
Step S807, PE3-rs do not need to transmit LDP Address Message to its opposite end.
Step S808, MTU-s extract MAC Address wherein after receiving the LDP Address Message that is transmitted by PE3-rs, and MAC Address and corresponding PW are noted together.LDP Address Message herein is owing to be that standby PW from MTU-s receives, so the just standby PW of binding.After this, if main situation with the PW fault, flow is directly switch to standby PW, owing to learnt MAC Address in advance, so broadcast data packet more not.
For LDP Address Message, traditional usage is to add Address list TLV therein, is used for announcing interface IP address.In the present invention, be that MAC listTLV is joined the MAC Address that Address list TLV announces needs record.After equipment is received a LDP Address Message, at first judge that by the type field of message this message is LDP Address Message, further then, judge by the TYPE field of TLV and to belong to any TLV, if be judged as MAC list TLV, the MAC Address of then above mentioning is extracted operation.
By said method, can guarantee that switching to standby PW in the main situation down-off that breaks down with PW does not broadcast phenomenon later on, has guaranteed the safety of information.
In an embodiment of the present invention, also provide a kind of after the master recovers normally with PW, to be switched back main method with PW by the flow that standby PW transmits, specifically comprise: a PE regularly obtains local mac address, and the MAC Address of obtaining is sent to all opposite end PE of a PE; For each opposite end PE, use corresponding PW to receive respectively and the preservation MAC Address, MAC Address is tied to the PW that receives MAC Address, and is not used in PW the master under the situation of flow forwarding, MAC Address is transmitted to MTU-s; MTU-s receives and also to preserve MAC Address, and MAC Address is tied to the master who receives MAC Address uses PW.
From last description as can be known, when main recover with PW normal after owing to mainly bound the MAC Address of destination with PW, so just can flow switch back the master with PW after, flow can correctly be sent to the destination.
After the master recovers normally with PW, the master does not switch back flow with PW at once from standby PW, but finish switching again after waiting for a time, so just can avoid owing to the main flow that causes with the state labile of PW shakes, so second timer is set in MTU-s, second timer starts when the master who breaks down recovers with PW.Arrive constantly at second timer, MTU-s is tied to the main PW that uses with the MAC Address of preserving, and has the sufficient time to bind the MAC Address of up-to-date destination in order to guarantee the master with PW, and the duration of second timer should be more than or equal to the twice of first timer duration.
Describe in detail main with the normal processing method afterwards of PW recovery below in conjunction with Fig. 9.
Fig. 9 show according to the inventive method embodiment recover process flow figure after normal based on the master of the MAC address learning method of VPLS dual-home network with PW, the second timer here can be a timer.
When main recover with PW after, still can not be broadcasted after leading with PW switching back in order to guarantee flow, need PE2-rs to send LDP AddressMessage equally to far-end, still carry MAC list TLV.This process and above-mentioned mention identical are example with accompanying drawing 4, when PE1-rs receives the LDP Address Message that PE2-rs sends over, judge with opposite equip. be SPOKE neighbours, promptly MTU-s just sends to MTU-s with LDP AddressMessage.Concrete steps are as follows:
Step S901, original master who is provided with recovers with PW, and promptly the PW at PE1-rs place recovers;
Step S902, the timer on the MTU-s picks up counting;
Step S903, since PE2-rs can't perception MTU-s and PE1-rs between the PW state, so still the time of setting according to first timer regularly sends LDP Address Message along each PW, according to the mode that above illustrates, LDP Address Message arrives the opposite end of PE2-rs, comprises PE1-rs;
Step S904, the PE1-rs judgement receives whether the PW of message is participating in converting flow, participating in converting flow if receive the PW of message, then execution in step S906 does not participate in converting flow if receive the PW of message, execution in step S905 then, here the PW at PE1-rs place is because fault is just recovered, and timer does not arrive setting-up time, so this PW does not participate in converting flow, and the PW at PE3-rs place is as original standby PW, just at converting flow;
Step S905 is tied to the MAC Address among the LDP Address Message on the PW that receives this LDP Address Message;
Step S906 need not be tied to MAC Address on the PW that receives LDP Address Message;
Step S907 judges whether the timer timing on the MTU-s finishes, if finish, and execution in step S909, otherwise execution in step S908;
Step S908 continues to wait for that timing finishes, and returns step S907;
Step S909 after the timer timing on the MTU-s finishes, switches to former master with on the PW with the flow on the standby PW.
For guarantee flow switch back after former master with having bound MAC on the PW, the timer time should be provided with the timing more than or equal to 2 times first timer.
More than be " counter-rotating " mode of adopting to the processing of former master after with the PW recovery; Can adopt " non-counter-rotating " mode to handle, promptly former master does not switch back after recovering with PW yet, and this moment, the PW of converting flow promptly was the new main PW that uses, and described as following specific embodiment.
After the master is with the PW fault recovery, uses PW as new standby PW the master, and standby PW is used PW as new master, particularly, after the master recovered normally with PW, standby PW is converting flow still, promptly this standby PW uses PW as new master, and the main PW that uses after recovering is as new standby PW.
In sum, by embodiments of the invention, learnt MAC Address in advance by MTU-s before the master is with the PW fault, make after the main PW of using fault, when using standby PW converting flow, can not cause flow to be broadcast on all PE, avoid this type of bandwidth waste, can not cause information leakage simultaneously yet because of the MAC Address that does not arrive the destination.
Need to prove that in addition following strategy has been adopted in the binding about MAC Address among the present invention: no matter be to lead, in converting flow, do not bind the MAC that receives, have only the PW that does not participate in transmitting just to bind, prevent the flow concussion with PW or standby PW.But the invention is not restricted to this, also can adopt the MAC that goes up binding such as standby PW not participate in transmitting, go wrong with PW and after flow is switched to standby PW, directly transmit the such binding strategy of packets by searching these MAC when main.
