Method, apparatus, and system for implementing multicast services
A method, device and system for implementing the multicast service are provided, and the method comprises: at the ingress node and exit node of the multicast path, establishing the mapping relationship information between the original multicast address identifier of the multicast service data and the multicast address identifier inside the bearer network; when the multicast source sends the multicast service data, the ingress node maps the original multicast address identifier of the multicast service data to the multicast address identifier inside the bearer network according to the mapping relationship information, and sends the multicast service data to the exit node along the multicast path; and the exit node maps the multicast identifier of the multicast service data inside the bearer network to the original multicast address identifier according to the mapping relationship information, and sends it to the receiving side of the multicast service data.
1. A method for implementing multicast services, comprising:
setting up, by a Resource and Admission Control Subsystem (RACS) at bearer control layer, a mapping relationship information between an original multicast address ID of multicast service data and a multicast address ID inside a bearer network;
sending, by the RACS, the mapping relationship information to an ingress node and an egress node of a multicast path;
converting, by the ingress node, the address of the received multicast service data from the original multicast address ID into the multicast address ID inside the bearer network according to the mapping relationship information and sending out the multicast service data; and
converting, by the egress node, the address of the received multicast service data from the multicast address ID inside the bearer network into the original multicast address ID according to the mapping information and sending out the multicast service data;
wherein the step of setting up the mapping relationship information between the original multicast address ID of multicast service data and the multicast address ID inside the bearer network comprises:
mapping the multicast address pairs to multicast address pairs inside the bearer network when multiple multicast address pairs correspond to a same multicast service package; and
wherein multicast addresses in the internal multicast address pairs of the bearer network are the same.
2. A multicast address management entity, comprising:
a multicast address mapping module configured to set up a mapping relationship information between an original multicast address ID of multicast service data and a multicast address ID inside a bearer network; and
a multicast address mapping sending module, configured to send the mapping relationship information between the original multicast address ID and the multicast address ID inside the bearer network to an ingress node device and an egress node device of a multicast path, so that the ingress node device and the egress node device can convert multicast address IDs of the multicast service data according to the mapping relationship information;
wherein the multicast address mapping module is further configured to map original multicast address pairs of multiple multicast service data to multicast address pairs inside the bearer network when multiple multicast address pairs correspond to a same multicast service package, and multicast addresses in the multicast address pairs inside the bearer network are the same.
3. A method for implementing multicast services, comprising:
setting up, by a Resource and Admission Control Subsystem (RACS) at bearer control layer, a mapping relationship information between an original multicast address ID of multicast service data and a multicast address ID inside a bearer network;
sending, by the RACS, the mapping relationship information to an ingress node and an egress node of a multicast path;
converting, by the ingress node, the address of the received multicast service data from the original multicast address ID into the multicast address ID inside the bearer network according to the mapping relationship information and sending out the multicast service data; and
converting, by the egress node, the address of the received multicast service data from the multicast address ID inside the bearer network into the original multicast address ID according to the mapping information and sending out the multicast service data;
wherein the setting up step specifically comprises:
setting up, by the Resource and Admission Control Subsystem (RACS) at bearer control layer, a mapping relationship information between an original multicast address ID of multicast service data and a multicast address ID inside a bearer network after receiving the original multicast address ID from an Application Function (AF) of service control layer.
4. A multicast address management entity, comprising:
a multicast address mapping module configured to set up a mapping relationship information between an original multicast address ID of multicast service data and a multicast address ID inside a bearer network; and
a multicast address mapping sending module, configured to send the mapping relationship information between the original multicast address ID and the multicast address ID inside the bearer network to an ingress node device and an egress node device of a multicast path, so that the ingress node device and the egress node device can convert multicast address IDs of the multicast service data according to the mapping relationship information;
wherein the multicast address mapping module is specifically configured to set up the mapping relationship information between an original multicast address ID of multicast service data and a multicast address ID inside a bearer network after receiving the original multicast address ID from an Application Function (AF) of service control layer.
