Abstract

A mapping method, an apparatus, and a system for data transmission are provided, so as to solve a problem that mapping between a Passive Optical Network (PON) service transmission path and a Pseudo Wire (PW) and/or a Packet Switched Network (PSN) tunnel cannot be realized on a premise of ensuring Quality of Service (QoS) of data transmission. Data packets are classified according to own attribute information in PSN tunnel information and/or PW information. When Multi Protocol Label Switch (MPLS) tunnel information carried in the data packets includes the PSN tunnel information or the PW information, the data packets are classified according to Class of Service (CoS) information, and/or label information in the PSN tunnel information or the PW information; and then the classified data packets are respectively mapped to service transmission paths of different PONs. The invention is applied to a PON to support packet switching technology.

Claims (35)

1. A mapping method for data transmission performed by one of an Optical Network Unit (ONU) or an Optical Network Terminal (ONT), comprising:

receiving a data packet;

acquiring Multi Protocol Label Switch (MPLS) tunnel information in the data packet, wherein the MPLS tunnel information comprises Packet Switched Network (PSN) tunnel information;

mapping the data packet to a service transmission path of a Passive Optical Network (PON) according to the MPLS tunnel information, wherein the service transmission path provides Quality of Service (QoS) corresponding to the MPLS tunnel information; and

sending the data packet through the service transmission path.

2. The mapping method for data transmission according to claim 1 , wherein the PSN tunnel information comprises at least one of attribute identifiers that distinguish different PSN tunnels, Class of Service (CoS) information and label information.

3. The mapping method for data transmission according to claim 1 , wherein:

the MPLS tunnel information further comprises Pseudo Wire (PW) information; and at least one of the PSN tunnel information and the PW information comprises Class of Service (CoS) information; and

the mapping step comprise: mapping the data packet to the service transmission path according to the CoS information.

4. The mapping method for data transmission according to claim 1 , wherein:

the MPLS tunnel information further comprises Pseudo Wire (PW) information; and at least one of the PSN tunnel information and the PW information comprises label information; and

the mapping step comprise: mapping the data packet to the service transmission path according to the label information.

5. A mapping apparatus for data transmission, comprising:

a service interface unit, configured to receive a data packet;

a tunnel information unit, configured to acquire Multi Protocol Label Switch (MPLS) tunnel information in the data packet, wherein the MPLS tunnel information comprises Packet Switched Network (PSN) tunnel information;

a Quality of Service (QoS) mapping unit, configured to map the data packet to a service transmission path of a Passive Optical Network (PON) according to the MPLS tunnel information, wherein the service transmission path provides Quality of Service (QoS) corresponding to the MPLS tunnel information; and

a PON sending unit, configured to send the data packet through the service transmission path.

6. The mapping apparatus for data transmission according to claim 5 , wherein the apparatus is an Optical Network Unit (ONU) or an Optical Line Terminal (OLT).

7. The mapping apparatus for data transmission according to claim 5 , wherein the PSN tunnel information comprises at least one of attribute identifiers that distinguish different PSN tunnels, Class of Service (CoS) information and label information.

8. The mapping apparatus for data transmission according to claim 5 , wherein:

the MPLS tunnel information further comprises Pseudo Wire (PW) information; and at least one of the PSN tunnel information and the PW information comprises Class of Service (CoS) information; and

the QoS mapping unit is specifically configured to map the data packet to the service transmission path according to the CoS information.

9. The mapping apparatus for data transmission according to claim 5 , wherein:

the MPLS tunnel information further comprises Pseudo Wire (PW) information; and at least one of the PSN tunnel information and the PW information comprises label information; and

the QoS mapping unit is specifically configured to map the data packet to the service transmission path according to the label information.

10. A mapping method for data transmission performed by an Optical Network Unit (ONU) or an Optical Network Terminal (ONT), comprising:

receiving a data packet;

acquiring Multi Protocol Label Switch (MPLS) tunnel information in the data packet, wherein the MPLS tunnel information comprises at least one of Class of Service (CoS) information and label information in Pseudo Wire (PW) information;

mapping the data packet to a service transmission path of a Passive Optical Network (PON) according to the MPLS tunnel information, wherein the service transmission path provides Quality of Service (QoS) corresponding to the MPLS tunnel information; and

sending the data packet through the service transmission path.

11. A mapping apparatus for data transmission, comprising:

a service interface unit, configured to receive a data packet;

a tunnel information unit, configured to acquire Multi Protocol Label Switch (MPLS) tunnel information in the data packet, wherein the MPLS tunnel information comprises at least one of Class of Service (CoS) information and label information in Pseudo Wire (PW) information;

a Quality of Service (QoS) mapping unit, configured to map the data packet to a service transmission path of a Passive Optical Network (PON) according to the MPLS tunnel information, wherein the service transmission path provides Quality of Service (QoS) corresponding to the MPLS tunnel information; and

a PON sending unit, configured to send the data packet through the service transmission path.
