The method of establishing a multicast data channel in a network virtualization system includes: creating, on a controller, a virtual remote logical interface for an external interface of a remote node; generating, a multicast tree tunnel that uses a core node as a root, and obtaining a multicast protocol packet sent by a device outside the network virtualization system; acquiring, a multicast source address and a multicast group address from the multicast protocol packet, and generating a multicast forwarding table; searching, the multicast forwarding table for an external interface of the core node, searching for an outbound interface of the multicast tree tunnel on the core node according to the multicast tree tunnel, and generating a P2MP PW forwarding table of the core node, and sending the P2MP PW forwarding table of the core node to the core node. The method implements a multicast service in a virtual cluster router.

Method and device for establishing multicast data channel in network virtualization system

The present invention provides a virtual cluster establishment method and a network device. The method includes: a first network device establishes, a network-layer-based first communication connection with a second network device; the first network device sends a first registration request message to the second network device through the first communication connection, where the first registration request message is used to establish a virtual cluster with the second network device; after the first network device receives a registration response message, selecting the second network device as an active main control device in the virtual cluster system; establishes, a network-layer-based second communication connection with a third network device; sends, a second registration request message to the third network device; and selects the third network device as a standby main control device. In this invention, a structure of a cluster is simplified, and scalability of the cluster is improved.

Virtual cluster establishment method and network device

Embodiments of the present invention provide a label switching path establishment method, a data forwarding method, and a device. The establishment method includes: determining, by a first service controller, each hop on an LSP from a preset ingress to a preset egress, allocating, from first label space information of each hop, a label to each hop, determining incoming and outgoing information of each hop according to topology information of each hop, generating forwarding data of each hop, and sending the forwarding data of each hop to a node device corresponding to each hop to complete establishment of the LSP. A technical solution of the present invention can alleviate burden of a node device in an MPLS network and increase the number of LSPs that the node device is capable of supporting.

Label switching path establishment method, data forwarding method, and device

Disclosed is a method and a device for protecting service reliability, and the service reliability in the network virtualization system provided by the present disclosure may be ensured. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a master node having a control function obtains the current service type information and notifies a slave node of the current service type information, for enabling the slave node to determine a main virtual link and a backup virtual link according to the service type information and to perform the failure detection, and when detecting that the main virtual link has failure and the backup virtual link has no failure, a service data message is switched to be transmitted on the backup virtual link, to ensure non-interrupted transmission of a service data message in a brand-new system architecture provided by the present disclosure, so as to ensure the service reliability.

Method and device for protecting service reliability and network virtualization system

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, a device, and a system for controlling a network path, where the method includes: the first control device generates path information for a first AP according to network topology information, and generates first forwarding information for the first AP according to acquired forwarding resource information of the first AP and the path information, and sends the first forwarding information to the first AP; the first control device determines that a second AP which is not managed by the first control device is included in the path information, sends the path information to a second control device for managing the second AP, so that the second control device generates second forwarding information for the second AP according to the path information and the acquired forwarding resource information of the second AP, and sends the second forwarding information to the second AP.

Method, device and system for controlling network path

A method resolves connectivity of services inside a network virtualization system when a virtual cluster system supports unicast IP, L2VPN, and L3VPN services, so that the software network virtualization system can support various types of services efficiently and with high quality. The method includes: creating, on a control device, a virtualized remote logical interface for an external interface of a remote access node; identifying, by the control device according to a service configured on the virtualized remote logical interface, a service type of the service, and generating virtual link forwarding entries of the remote access node and a core aggregation node; and sending, by the control device, the virtual link forwarding entry to the remote access node and the core aggregation node, so as to set up a virtual link between the core aggregation node and the remote access node.

Method, device, and routing system for data transmission of network virtualization

The embodiments of present invention disclose a method and a device for making uplink standby, including: configuring more than one uplink for an Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) proxy device, and choosing one of the more than one uplink as a primary uplink; the IGMP proxy device replicating a multicast packet received over the primary uplink and sending the multicast packet replicated over a downlink to a multicast host. In the method provided by the embodiments of the present invention, only the primary uplink is used, which reduces the link bandwidth waste of the multicast host and improves the multicast data transmission efficiency. Flexible methods are adopted for checking the availability of the primary uplink so that the IGMP proxy device may detect in real time whether the primary uplink is available and choose a new primary uplink in time to guarantee the normal multicast communication.
