Abstract

A method for notifying binding information, including: acquiring, by an allocation node, SR-TE path information; binding, by the allocation node, an IPV6 SID corresponding to the SR-TE path information with the SR-TE path information so as to obtain SRV6 binding information between the SR-TE path information and the IPV6 SID; and notifying, by the allocation node, the SRV6 binding information to a preset node through an extended PCEP.

Claims (26)

1. A method for notifying binding information, comprising:

acquiring, by an allocation node, segment routing-traffic engineering (SR-TE) path information;

binding, by the allocation node, an Internet Protocol version 6 Segment Identifier (IPV6 SID) corresponding to the SR-TE path information with the SR-TE path information to obtain SRV6 binding information between the SR-TE path information and the IPV6 SID; and

notifying, by the allocation node, the SRV6 binding information to a preset node through an extended path computation element protocol (PCEP).

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein in response to that the allocation node is a Path Computation Element (PCE), and the preset node is a Path Computing Client (PCC), the step of acquiring, by the allocation node, the SR-TE path information comprises:

computing and obtaining, by the PCE, the SR-TE path information according to a path computation request sent by the PCC and network topology information of a network where the PCE is located;

and the step of notifying the SRV6 binding information to the preset node through the extended PCEP comprises:

notifying, by the PCE, the SRV6 binding information to the PCC through the extended PCEP.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein after the step of notifying, by the PCE, the SRV6 binding information to the PCC through the extended PCEP, further comprises:

updating, by the PCE, the IPV6 SID corresponding to the SR-TE path information according to the extended PCEP and an update message carried by the extended PCEP; wherein,

the update message carried by the extended PCEP carries updated attribute information of the IPV6 SID; and

sending, by the PCE, the updated IPV6 SID corresponding to the SR-TE path information to the PCC.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein in response to that the allocation node is a PCC and the preset node is a PCE, the step of acquiring, by the allocation node, the SR-TE path information comprises:

receiving, by the PCC, the SR-TE path information sent by the PCE;

and the step of notifying the SRV6 binding information to the preset node through the extended PCEP comprises:

notifying, by the PCC, the SRV6 binding information to the PCE through the extended PCEP.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein after the step of receiving, by the PCC, the SR-TE path information sent by the PCE, further comprises:

in response to that the PCC receives the SR-TE path information sent by the PCE but does not receive the SRV6 binding information corresponding to the SR-TE path information sent by the PCE, binding, by the PCC, the SR-TE path information with the IPV6 SID corresponding to the SR-TE path information to obtain the SRV6 binding information between the SR-TE path information and the IPV6 SID.

6. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

receiving, by the PCC, a request message sent by the PCE; wherein, the request message is configured to request the PCC to allocate a corresponding IPV6 SID to the SR-TE path information in response to that the PCE does not receive the SRV6 binding information sent by the PCC through the extended PCEP; and

allocating, by the PCC, the IPV6 SID corresponding to the SR-TE path information to the SR-TE path information to obtain SRV6 binding information between the SR-TE path information and the IPV6 SID.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein after the step of receiving, by the PCC, a request message sent by the PCE, further comprises:

in response to that the PCC cannot allocate the IPV6 SID corresponding to the SR-TE path information to the SR-TE path information, sending, by the PCC, an error message to the PCE; wherein the error message is configured to indicate that the PCC fails to match the IPV6 SID for the SR-TE path information.

8. A device for notifying binding information, comprising: a processor and a storage medium configured to store executable instructions, wherein:

the processor is configured to execute the executable instructions configured to perform the method for notifying binding information according to claim 1 .

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon, the computer-executable instructions configured to perform the method for notifying binding information according to claim 1 .
