File transmission method and transmission engines and network elements

Abstract

The invention relates to a file transmission method, file transmission engines and network elements. The method comprises the following steps of: receiving a downloading message transmitted by an upper-stage network element by using the file transmission engines, wherein the downloading message carries a file address list of a file needed to be transmitted and a transmission network address topology list; acquiring the file needed to be transmitted from the upper-stage network element; and when the file is not a file in a local network element, transmitting the file according to the file address list and the transmission network address topology list which are carried by the downloading message. In the invention, the file transmission engines are resided on each network element, so that all file transmission engines are interconnected and intercommunicated, and the requirement of efficient file transmission among all layers of network elements under tree network architectures is met; and the problems of incompatible file transmission among different standard equipment in the conventional system, different network element codes on different layers in the same standard equipment and unavailable parallel transmission of the network elements with less than three layers in the conventional system are solved, the degree of parallelism of file transmission is greatly improved and the transmission speed is increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a file transmission method, a transmission engine and a network element of single-board software in communication equipment under a multi-level complex network structure. Background technique [0002] At present, under the base station system of mobile communication, a network management background manages a large number of network elements (up to 3000), and each network element may also be connected to many other network elements at the same time, forming a tree distribution structure of network elements . Even in a flat network, there are multi-level file forwarding between modules and boards. From the perspective of file transfer, it can still be regarded as a tree structure. In other network management systems other than the mobile communication system, this kind of tree networking structure also widely exists. [0003] The existing file transmission method can guara...

Problems solved by technology

Corresponding to different standards of equipment, because the developers are different, it is impossible to transfer files between each other

[0004] With the increasing number of management network elements in the mobile communication network management system, and facing the situation of file transfer between devices or systems of different standards, the existing file transfer methods can no longer meet the requirements, and a general and efficient file transfer method is required. transmission method to solve the above problems
