Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a data processing method, a communications board and a device. The method includes: acquiring, by a first communications board, an optical channel data unit ODU data flow; performing, by the first communications board, slicing processing on the ODU data flow according to a fixed frame frequency, so as to obtain various slices, where each slice includes a section of continuous ODU data in the ODU data flow; separately encapsulating, by the first communications board, each slice into an Ethernet frame; and sending, by the first communications board, each Ethernet frame to a time division multiplexing TDM service switching module in an Ethernet switching chip, so that the TDM service switching module sends each Ethernet frame to a second communications board to which a destination MAC address carried in the Ethernet frame directs.

Claims (17)

1. A data switching device, comprising:

a packet service board having an Ethernet interface;

a first communications board and a second communications board, each of which has an Ethernet interface; and

an Ethernet switching chip comprising a packet service switching module and a time division multiplexing (TDM) service switching module, wherein the packet service switching module is connected to the Ethernet interface of the packet service board, and the TDM service switching module is connected to the Ethernet interfaces of the first communications board and the second communications board;

wherein the packet service board is configured to perform at least one of send packet service data to the packet service switching module, receive packet service data sent by the packet service switching module, or perform processing on packet service data;

wherein the packet service switching module in the Ethernet switching chip is configured to receive packet service data sent by the packet service board, and send the packet service data to a target packet service board;

wherein the first communications board is configured to acquire an optical channel data unit (ODU) data flow, perform slicing processing on the ODU data flow according to a fixed frame frequency so as to obtain slices of ODU data, encapsulate each slice of the ODU data into an Ethernet frame, and send each Ethernet frame to the TDM service switching module;

wherein each Ethernet frame carries a destination Media Access Control (MAC) address and a payload area, and wherein the destination MAC address directs to the second communications board and the payload area is used to store a slice of ODU data and a serial number of the slice of the ODU data;

wherein the TDM service switching module in the Ethernet switching chip is configured to receive Ethernet frames sent by the first communications board and send the Ethernet frames to the second communications board to which the destination MAC address carried in the Ethernet frame directs;

wherein the second communications board is configured to receive Ethernet frames sent by the TDM service switching module in the Ethernet switching chip, decapsulate Ethernet frames to obtain the serial numbers of the slices of the ODU data and the slices of ODU data, sequentially arrange the slices of ODU data according to the serial numbers of the slices of the ODU data, and restore the sequentially arranged the slices of ODU data to form an ODU data flow according to a fixed frame frequency; and

wherein the fixed frame frequency is a fixed frame frequency adopted in slicing processing.

2. The data switching device according to claim 1 , wherein the Ethernet interface of the first communications board comprises at least one Ethernet subinterface, wherein each Ethernet subinterface has a unique MAC address, and wherein the Ethernet subinterface is connected to the TDM service switching module in the Ethernet switching chip; and

wherein the first communications board is specifically configured to send each Ethernet frame to the TDM service switching module in the Ethernet switching chip through the at least one Ethernet subinterface.

3. The data switching device according to claim 1 , wherein the Ethernet interface of the second communications board comprises at least one Ethernet subinterface, wherein each Ethernet subinterface has a unique MAC address, and wherein the Ethernet subinterface is connected to the TDM service switching module in the Ethernet switching chip; and

wherein the second communications board is further configured to receive, from the Ethernet subinterface, each Ethernet frame sent by the TDM service switching module in the Ethernet switching chip.

4. The data switching device according to claim 1 , wherein the first communications board is a TDM service board that has a TDM service processing module or an optical transport network (OTN) line board that has a TDM service processing module; and

the second communications board is a TDM service board that has a TDM service processing module or an OTN line board that has a TDM service processing module.
