Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in the upstream distribution label mode, the upstream outbound label is distributed by the upstream itself, and the upstream cannot know that it is the last hop of the FEC, so it cannot assign an implicit empty label as its own outbound label, but only A normal label can be distributed, resulting in the inability to pop up at the last hop, and the packet still carries a normal label after reaching the last hop

Embodiment Construction

[0017] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described here are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0018] The key point of the present invention is that the label type TLV carried in the label request message of the LDP indicates to the upstream what type of label needs to be distributed, which will be described in detail below focusing on this.

[0019] figure 1 is a flow chart of a label distribution method for notifying upstream distribution labels in a label distribution protocol according to the present invention. figure 2 is a view of the format of a tag type TLV according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0020] The following will refer to figure 2 , described as figure 1 Shown is a label distribution method for notifying upstream to distri...

Abstract

The invention provides a label distribution device used to inform upstream of distributing labels in the label distribution protocol. The device comprises: a carrying and sending unit positioned at the downstream and used to carry a special label type TLV in a label request message sent to the upstream; an analytic unit positioned at the upstream and used to analyze the special label type TLV after the label request message with the special label type TLV is received; and a distribution unit used to distribute the label with corresponding type for forwarding equivalence class according to the field value in the special label type TLV. So an upstream LSR as the penultimate hop of a certain FEC can distribute an implicit null label to the FEC to be taken as an out-label under the upstream label distribution mode, thereby realizing the pop-up of the penultimate hop.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a label distribution protocol (Label Distribute Protocol, hereinafter referred to as LDP) technology in a multi-protocol label switching (Multi Protocol Label Switch, hereinafter referred to as MPLS) network, and more specifically, relates to a label distribution protocol used in A label dispensing device that distributes labels upstream is notified. Background technique [0002] Usually, at the last hop of a label switching path (Label Switch Path, hereinafter referred to as LSP), the label switching router (Label Switch Router, hereinafter referred to as LSR) will give the corresponding forwarding equivalence class (Forwading Equivalence Class, hereinafter referred to as For FEC) bind an empty label as an incoming label (either implicitly empty or explicitly empty). [0003] The purpose of allocating implicit null is to use this label to tell the LSR of the last hop that when receiving the label message sent to the F...
