Abstract

Provided are a message interaction method and apparatus, a device, and a storage medium. The method is applied to a first communication node and includes receiving a Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) configuration message sent by a second communication node, where the TSN configuration message carries flow filtering information and flow mapping information; and performing packet filtering and mapping based on the TSN configuration message.

Claims (50)

1 . An information interaction method, applied to a first communication node and comprising:

receiving a Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) configuration message sent by a second communication node, wherein the TSN configuration message carries flow filtering information and flow mapping information; and

performing packet filtering and packet mapping based on the TSN configuration message;

wherein the first communication node is an ingress edge node of a Deterministic Networking (DetNet) domain, or the first communication node is an egress edge node of a DetNet domain;

wherein when the first communication node is an ingress edge node of a DetNet domain, the flow filtering information comprises a Media Access Control (MAC) mask, wherein the MAC mask is used for identifying and filtering a TSN stream;

wherein when the first communication node is an egress edge node of a DetNet domain, the flow mapping information comprises at least one of:

a TSN profile type;

a TSN profile length; or

a TSN profile, wherein the TSN profile is used for carrying TSN information.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein when the first communication node is an ingress edge node of a DetNet domain, the flow mapping information comprises a DetNet Flow Identification (Flow-ID), wherein the DetNet Flow-ID uniquely identifies one DetNet flow and is used for identifying the DetNet flow.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein when the first communication node is an ingress edge node of a DetNet domain, the flow mapping information comprises a packet sequence number, wherein the packet sequence number is carried when a set instruction is in a preset state, and the packet sequence number uniquely identifies one DetNet packet and is used for functions of DetNet packet replication and elimination.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein when the first communication node is an ingress edge node of a DetNet domain, performing the packet filtering and the packet mapping based on the TSN configuration message comprises:

identifying and filtering a TSN packet based on an MAC mask; and

mapping the filtered TSN packet to a DetNet flow corresponding to the flow mapping information based on the flow mapping information.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein when the first communication node is an egress edge node of a DetNet domain, the flow filtering information comprises a DetNet Flow-ID, wherein the DetNet Flow-ID in the flow filtering information is used for filtering a DetNet flow.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein when the first communication node is an egress edge node of a DetNet domain, performing the packet filtering and the packet mapping based on the TSN configuration message comprises:

identifying a DetNet packet and filtering the DetNet packet based on a DetNet Flow-ID in the flow filtering information; and

mapping the filtered DetNet packet to a TSN stream and a TSN profile corresponding to the flow mapping information based on the flow mapping information.

7 . A non-transitory storage medium storing a computer program, wherein the computer program, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform the method of claim 1 .

8 . An information interaction method, applied to a second communication node and comprising:

determining a Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) configuration message based on a deterministic demand; and

sending the TSN configuration message to a first communication node, wherein the TSN message is used for the first communication node to perform packet filtering and packet mapping;

wherein when the first communication node is an ingress edge node of a DetNet domain, flow filtering information carried by the TSN configuration message comprises a Media Access Control (MAC) mask, wherein the MAC mask is used for identifying and filtering a TSN stream;

wherein when the first communication node is an egress edge node of a DetNet domain, flow mapping information carried by the TSN configuration message comprises at least one of:

a TSN profile type;

a TSN profile length; or

a TSN profile, wherein the TSN profile is used for carrying TSN information.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the second communication node is a controller.

10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein a protocol type of the TSN configuration message comprises at least one of:

when a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) flow is configured, the protocol type of the TSN configuration message is a BGP; or

when a Path Computation Element Protocol (PCEP) flow is configured, the protocol type of the TSN configuration message is a PCEP.

11 . The method of claim 8 , wherein when the first communication node is an ingress edge node of a Deterministic Networking (DetNet) domain, flow mapping information carried by the TSN configuration message comprises a DetNet Flow Identification (Flow-ID) and a packet sequence number.

12 . The method of claim 8 , wherein when the first communication node is an egress edge node of a DetNet domain, flow filtering information carried by the TSN configuration message comprises a DetNet Flow-ID.

13 . A device, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory configured to store at least one program,

wherein the at least one program, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform the method of claim 8 .

14 . A non-transitory storage medium storing a computer program, wherein the computer program, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform the method of claim 8 .

15 . A device, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory configured to store at least one program,

wherein the at least one program, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform:

receiving a Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) configuration message sent by a second communication node, wherein the TSN configuration message carries flow filtering information and flow mapping information; and

performing packet filtering and packet mapping based on the TSN configuration message;

wherein the first communication node is an ingress edge node of a Deterministic Networking (DetNet) domain, or the first communication node is an egress edge node of a DetNet domain;

wherein when the first communication node is an ingress edge node of a DetNet domain, the flow filtering information comprises a Media Access Control (MAC) mask, wherein the MAC mask is used for identifying and filtering a TSN stream;

wherein when the first communication node is an egress edge node of a DetNet domain, the flow mapping information comprises at least one of:

a TSN profile type;

a TSN profile length; or

a TSN profile, wherein the TSN profile is used for carrying TSN information.
