Method, node and system for obtaining link aggregation group information
A method for obtaining link aggregation group (LAG) information, and a node and a system thereof are provided, which belong to the field of communication technologies. The method includes the following steps. An ingress node of a label switched path (LSP) sends an echo request message to another node on the LSP, in which the message carries identification information, and the identification information is for identifying that the LAG information on the LSP needs to be obtained. The ingress node receives an echo reply message returned by said another node, in which the message carries LAG information between said another node and a next hop node on the LSP. The present invention implements the obtaining of LAG information on the LSP and brings great convenience to OAM of MPLS network, and has the advantages of being simple, convenient, and easy to implement and having strong practicality.
1. A method for obtaining link aggregation group (LAG) information, comprising:
sending, by an ingress node of a label switched path (LSP), an echo request message to another node on the LSP, and carrying identification information in the echo request message, wherein the identification information is for identifying the LAG information on the LSP which needs to be obtained; and
receiving, by the ingress node, an echo reply message returned by said another node, wherein the echo reply message carries the LAG information between said another node and a next hop node on the LSP;
wherein after the ingress node of the LSP sends the echo request message to said another node on the LSP, the method further comprises:
receiving, by said another node, the echo request message;
determining according to the identification information in the echo request message, by said another node, whether the LAG information needs to be obtained; and
if the LAG information needs to be obtained, obtaining the LAG information between said another node and the next hop node on the LSP, carrying the LAG information in the echo reply message, and returning the echo reply message to the ingress node;
if the LAG information does not need to be obtained, not obtaining the LAG information between said another node and the next hop node on the LSP.
2. The method for obtaining LAG information according to claim 1 , wherein the carrying the identification information in the echo request message comprises:
newly adding an LAG type length value (TLV) sub-field in a forwarding equivalence class (FEC) TLV field of the echo request message; and
writing the identification information into the LAG TLV sub-field.
3. The method for obtaining LAG information according to claim 1 , wherein carrying the identification information in the echo request message comprises:
newly adding an LAG type length value (TLV) field in the echo request message; and
writing the identification information into the LAG TLV field.
4. The method for obtaining LAG information according to claim 1 , wherein said another node carrying the obtained LAG information in the echo reply message comprises:
newly adding, by said another node, an LAG type length value (TLV) field in the echo reply message;
writing the obtained LAG information into the LAG TLV field.
5. The method for obtaining LAG information according to claim 1 , wherein the LAG information between said another node and the next hop node on the LSP at least comprises one of the following information:
the number of LAGs between said another node and the next hop node on the LSP, and information of physical links in each LAG.
6. The method for obtaining LAG information according to claim 5 , wherein the information of the physical links in the LAG at least comprises one of the following information:
the number of the physical links, identifiers of interfaces at two ends of the LAG, a total bandwidth of the LAG, a bandwidth of each physical link, and a maximum transmission unit (MTU) of each physical link.
7. A system for obtaining link aggregation group (LAG) information, comprising: an ingress node and another node, wherein the ingress node and said another node are located on a label switched path (LSP) corresponding to the same forwarding equivalence class (FEC);
the ingress node is configured to send an echo request message to said another node, carry identification information in the echo request message, and receive an echo reply message returned by said another node, wherein the echo reply message carries the LAG information between said another node and a next hop node on the LSP, and the identification information is for identifying whether the LAG information on the LSP needs to be obtained; and
said another node is configured to receive the echo request message sent by the ingress node, determine, according to the identification information carried in the echo request message, whether the LAG information needs to be obtained, and if the LAG information needs to be obtained, obtain the LAG information between said another node and the next hop node on the LSP, carry the LAG information in the echo reply message, and return the echo reply message to the ingress node; if the LAG information does not need to be obtained, not obtain the LAG information between said another node and the next hop node on the LSP.
8. The system for obtaining LAG information according to claim 7 , wherein the LAG information between said another node and the next hop node on the LSP comprises at least one of the following information:
a quantity of LAGs between said another node and the next hop node on the LSP, and information of physical links in each LAG.
9. The system for obtaining LAG information according to claim 8 , wherein the information of the physical links in each LAG at least comprises one of the following information:
a quantity of the physical links, identifiers of interfaces at two ends of each LAG, a total bandwidth of each LAG, a bandwidth of each physical link, and a maximum transmission unit (MTU) of each physical link.
