Abstract

A network component management method and a network device are disclosed. The method includes: obtaining, by a network component management unit, performance assurance information of a network component, where the performance assurance information includes at least one of the following: key performance information, performance assurance priority information, or performance assurance enabling information, where the key performance information is used to indicate a key performance of the network component, and the performance assurance enabling information is used to instruct to enable or disable at least one performance assurance function of the network component; and managing, by the network component management unit, the network component based on the performance assurance information. The network component management method and the network device provided in the present disclosure can improve network component management efficiency.

Claims (34)

1. A network component management method, comprising:

obtaining, by a network component management unit, performance assurance information of a network component, wherein the network component is a network slice or a network slice subnet, wherein the performance assurance information comprises:

key performance information indicating key performance information of the network component, wherein the key performance information indicates a key performance of the network component that needs to be assured among multiple performance of the network component, and

tenant information corresponding to the network component, wherein the tenant information includes a tenant priority, tenant level information, and a tenant identifier; and

managing, by the network component management unit, the network component based on the performance assurance information.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the performance assurance information comprises at least one of the following: type information of the network component, service type information corresponding to the network component, or network requirement information of the network component.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the managing, by the network component management unit, the network component based on the performance assurance information comprises:

configuring, by the network component management unit, the performance assurance information in the network component or a managed object of the network component.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the managing, by the network component management unit, the network component based on the performance assurance information comprises:

determining, by the network component management unit, at least one to-be-optimized performance of the network component;

determining, by the network component management unit, a first performance in the at least one to-be-optimized performance based on the performance assurance information; and

optimizing, by the network component management unit, the first performance.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the performance assurance information comprises performance assurance enabling information, and the managing, by the network component management unit, the network component based on the performance assurance information comprises:

when the performance assurance enabling information indicates enabling a first performance assurance function of the network component, enabling, by the network component management unit, the first performance assurance function; or

when the performance assurance enabling information indicates disabling a second performance assurance function of the network component, disabling, by the network component management unit, the second performance assurance function.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a performance of the network component comprises at least one of the following: a bandwidth corresponding to the network component, a latency corresponding to the network component, a throughput corresponding to the network component, a coverage corresponding to the network component, a capacity corresponding to the network component, or a service success rate corresponding to the network component.

7. A network device, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled to the processor and having program instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the processor, cause the network device to perform operations comprising:

obtaining performance assurance information of a network component, wherein the network component is a network slice or a network slice subnet, wherein the performance assurance information comprises:

key performance information indicating key performance information of the network component, wherein the key performance information indicates a key performance of the network component that needs to be assured among multiple performance of the network component, and

tenant information corresponding to the network component, wherein the tenant information includes a tenant priority, tenant level information, and a tenant identifier; and

managing the network component based on the performance assurance information.

8. The network device according to claim 7 , wherein the performance assurance information comprises at least one of the following: type information of the network component, service type information corresponding to the network component, or network requirement information of the network component.

9. The network device according to claim 7 , wherein the operation of managing the network component based on the performance assurance information comprising:

configuring the performance assurance information in the network component or a managed object of the network component.

10. The network device according to claim 7 , wherein the operation of managing the network component based on the performance assurance information comprising:

determining at least one to-be-optimized performance of the network component;

determining a first performance in the at least one to-be-optimized performance based on the performance assurance information; and

optimizing the first performance.

11. The network device according to claim 7 , wherein the performance assurance information comprises performance assurance enabling information, and the operation of managing the network component based on the performance assurance information comprising:

when the performance assurance enabling information is used to enable a first performance assurance function of the network component, enable the first performance assurance function; or

when the performance assurance enabling information is used to disable a second performance assurance function of the network component, disable the second performance assurance function.

12. The network device according to claim 7 , wherein a performance of the network component comprises at least one of the following: a bandwidth corresponding to the network component, a latency corresponding to the network component, a throughput corresponding to the network component, a coverage corresponding to the network component, a capacity corresponding to the network component, or a service success rate corresponding to the network component.
