Method and apparatus for automatic topological discover and resource management in PBB TE network

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for realizing automatic network topology discovery and resource information management in a provider backbone bridging traffic engineering (PBB TE) network. The method comprises the steps as follows: a first network node constructs and sends a link layer discovery protocol (LLDP) message which comprises network topology information and resource information; and a second network node receives the LLDP message, records the network topology information in the LLDP message to a local network topology information database and records the resource information in the LLDP message to a local resource information database. The invention also discloses a method for sending and collecting the network topology information and the resource information in the PBB TE network and a device realizing the automatic network topology discovery and the resource information management in a PBB TE network node. The proposal of the invention can realize the automatic network topology discovery and the resource information management in the PBB TE network.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This technology allows users to discover connections between devices on their networks automatically without having them manually set up or re-configured themselves during initial configuration process. By doing this it saves time and effort compared with traditional methods like manual configurations.

Problems solved by technology

This patents discuss how current methods allow users to manage connections between devices over an internet connection while maintaining their privacy or ensures they are secure from attacks such as denialofed packets. Current solutions require manual inputting of data into specific fields like IP addresses, ports, etc., making them difficult to deploy across networks with large numbers of machines. Additionally, these techniques have limitations in terms of scalability due to fixed configurations.
