Embodiment Construction

[0032] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0033] The embodiment of the present invention changes the traditional centralized FTP download mode in the software upgrade process, so that the network element device downloads the upgrade file no longer completely from the file server, but downloads the upgrade file through the cooperation between the network element devices, which improves the Download speed, reduce the pressure on the file server.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for achieving software upgrade by cooperation among network elements, and belongs to the communication technical field. The method comprises the following steps: initiating an upgrade file download request by network element equipment after the network element equipment receives a software upgrade command; receiving a list of cooperative network elements capable of providing upgrade file download and files partitioning information; selecting and confirming cooperative network element equipment which downloads the upgrade file and correspondingly downloaded upgrade file blocks from the list of the cooperative network elements; and interacting with the confirmed cooperative network element equipment and downloading the upgrade file blocks. The invention also provides the equipment and a system for achieving the software upgrade by the cooperation among the network elements. In the embodiment of the invention, the download is provided by the cooperation among the network elements, which achieves load sharing of a network management/file server, reduces pressure on a single file server, then reduces requirements for network management equipment, finally reduces the operation cost, and can effectively improve the download speed of the upgrade files of the network elements, thus improving the whole upgrade process especially in the case of batch upgrade.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a method, device and system for realizing software upgrade through cooperation among network elements. Background technique [0002] At present, the software management of network devices provides the function of centralized batch upgrade of network element devices. During the upgrade process, network elements generally obtain various required files through FTP (File Transfer Portocol, file transfer protocol). For downloading methods such as FTP, the file is generally put on the server first, and then the server transmits it to each user's machine. Its network structure is as follows: figure 1 shown. [0003] Using the above upgrade method, multiple NEs will request the upgrade version files from the network management / file server at the same time during the batch upgrade process, which will affect the download speed of all network elements and cause huge request ...
