Multipath load sharing method and device

Abstract

The invention relates to a multipath load sharing method. The method comprises the following steps: (1) creating a load sharing link table which is used for recording and updating loads of all equivalent links between a sending end and a target address in real time; (2) accessing a user to a server; (3) selecting a link with the fewest loads by the server according to the load sharing link table; (4) allocating the link selected in the step (3) to the user by the sever and updating the load value of the link; and (5) carrying out data interaction by the user through the link. All user counters are initialized as zero; after a path number corresponding to the link is allocated to the user, the path number of the link is saved in a user case and the load value of the link is increased; and when the user logs out, the corresponding load value is reduced according to the path number in the user case, and meanwhile, the user case is released.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of mobile communication, in particular to a multipath load sharing method and device. Background technique [0002] Data communication equipment needs to support a large bandwidth and a large number of channels. There are usually multiple equivalent channel connections between two network nodes physically or logically. In order to ensure that the traffic between two network nodes can be evenly transmitted through multiple equal-cost channels, user packets need to be grouped through a certain strategy, so that user traffic of different groups is transmitted on different paths. [0003] Multipath load sharing is a common application method in data communication. The usual processing method is to select the path according to the packet header or protocol header of the IP packet. In this classification method, the load of each path is unbalanced; and the traffic of the same user may be transmitted through differ...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a multi-path load sharing method and device, which solves the problem that the multi-path load sharing in the prior art has unbalanced loads on each path; and the traffic of the same user is transmitted through different paths at the same time. It is easy to generate out-of-order messages, and it is necessary to increase the function of message sorting to realize more complicated problems
