Access network switch port utilization rate counting method

Abstract

The invention discloses an access network switch port utilization rate counting method, which relates to access network switch resource statistics. The method comprises the following steps of: at least deploying a network management server in a switch network to identify and manage switches to be counted; making rules for counting whether ports of the switches are utilized or not; establishing a statistical table in a background database of the network management server, wherein the statistical table acquires port sets of each switch in the first counting, and the port sets comprise unutilized port sets and utilized port sets; performing port state detection on the ports in the unutilized port set of each switch; and judging whether the whole counting task is finished or not, outputting counting results in form of report if the whole counting task is finished, otherwise waiting for the starting of the next polling task. By the counting method, the port utilization conditions of the switches in the network can be accurately counted under the condition of influencing network performance as little as possible, relatively fewer resources are consumed, the influence of uncertain factors is reduced and relatively higher counting accuracy is ensured.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to resource statistics of access network switches, in particular to a statistical method for the port utilization rate of access network switches. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of broadband network construction, Layer 2 and Layer 3 switches are more and more widely used in metro access networks, and the number of switches used is also increasing. As an important part of switches, the utilization rate of physical ports, It has also become more and more the content that telecom operators pay attention to. [0003] In general, the utilization rate of the physical port of the switch can be obtained by querying the status of the port, but simply querying the port status to obtain the port utilization, due to the uncertain factors in the query, there are some obstacles to the query, resulting in the obtained Port utilization is inaccurate. In the case of a large number of switches, to understand the uti...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] 1. The port usage of the same switch at different times is likely to be different. For example, for a switch used for home broadband access, the link status of the port depends on whether the home is using broadband Internet services. It is obviously unreasonable to judge the port utilization of the entire switch simply by the state of the port at a certain point in time.

[0005] 2. The number of switches is huge, and the statistics need to read the status of each port of each switch. It takes a lot of time and manpower to check the port status one by one.

When the number of switches is large and there are many ports, the network load will be large, which may cause a decline in network quality, which will affect the normal operation of the network and the management of switches by network management and maintenance personnel. Therefore, it is necessary to consider more accurate and less resource consumption. statistical methods
