Abstract

The invention provides a multicast message processing method and network equipment. The multicast message processing method of the present invention includes: the network device obtains device level number information, and obtains the neighbor network device information of the network device according to the device level number information; the network device obtains the multicast replication control mark in the multicast message , the multicast replication control flag is used to identify the multicast path of the multicast packet; the network device copies the multicast packet to the Neighboring network devices of the network device in the multicast path. The embodiment of the present invention solves the problem that the network equipment in the prior art needs the multicast entry of the multicast group to copy and forward the message, each multicast entry needs to be stored in the network equipment, and each multicast entry occupies the group address of the network equipment Multicast resources, the problem of high requirements for multicast resources of network equipment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to network technology, in particular to a multicast message processing method and network equipment. Background technique [0002] Data center network generally adopts such as figure 1 The shown fat tree architecture implements Fabric networking. In the fat tree architecture, switching devices are arranged in layers and converged step by step. The fat tree structure generally has a two-layer or three-layer structure, and sometimes a controller (Controller) may also be provided to manage and configure each switching device in the fat tree structure. Fabric specifically refers to a "combined device" formed by connecting multiple switching devices supporting an Intelligent Resilient Framework (English: Intelligent Resilient Framework, IRF for short). [0003] There is often a need for multicast services in the data center network. The multicast forwarding method of the multicast service in the Fabric is the same as that in the trad...
