Abstract

The invention provides a layer 2 multicast forwarding link failure positioning method and layer 2 multicast forwarding link failure positioning equipment. The method comprises the following steps of: receiving a first detection message from detection initiation equipment specified by a user, wherein the first detection message comprises a virtual switch instance (VSI) and diagnosis assistant information, and the diagnosis assistant information comprises a multicast address, a destination equipment address and a time to live (TTL); acquiring a multicast forwarding table entry corresponding to the multicast address and the VSI, transmitting the first detection message to equipment on a layer 2 multicast forwarding link corresponding to the multicast forwarding table entry according to the TTL which is N, adding one to the TTL to obtain the updated TTL if a response message is received from the equipment of the Nth hop and the address of the equipment of the Nth hop is judged not to be the destination equipment address; transmitting a second detection message to the equipment on the layer 2 multicast forwarding link according to the updated TTL; and if the response message is not received from the equipment of the (N+1)th hop, determining a failing position between the equipment of the (N+1)th hop and the equipment of the Nth hop, wherein the N is an integer more than or equal to 1.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to communication technologies, and in particular to a method and equipment for fault location of a Layer 2 multicast forwarding link. Background technique [0002] Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS for short) is a layer-2 virtual private network (Virtual Private Network; VPN for short) based on Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS for short) and Ethernet technology technology. With the development of Ethernet technology, Ethernet has not only become the dominant local area network (Local Area Network; LAN for short) technology, but also is increasingly applied to Metropolitan Area Network (Metropolitan Area Network; MAN for short) as an access technology. and Wide Area Network (Wide Area Network; WAN for short). For example, the VPLS mainly connects multiple Ethernet LAN network segments through a Packet Switched Network (PSN for short), so that they work like a LAN. Therefore, using VPLS technology, s...
