Method and device for monitoring routing equipment

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a device for monitoring routing equipment, relates to the field of information technology, and aims to lower the interaction frequency among routing equipment and increase an actual bandwidth for business services. The method comprises the following steps that: firstly, local-end routing equipment adds keep alive messages of a plurality of routing protocols into an extended field of an NTP (Network Time Protocol) message; secondly, the local-end routing equipment sends the NTP message to opposite-end routing equipment at preset time intervals; the local-end routing equipment determines routing protocols that do not receive corresponding confirmation messages within retention time corresponding to each routing protocol; and lastly, the local-end routing equipment determines that routing protocol processes corresponding to the routing protocols that do not receive the corresponding confirmation messages fail. The method and the device are suitable for monitoring whether the routing protocol processes corresponding to the routing equipment fail or not.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of information technology, in particular to a method and device for monitoring routing equipment. Background technique [0002] With the development of information technology, the use of routing equipment also develops. At present, in the live network, it is necessary to monitor whether the routing equipment at the opposite end is faulty every preset time, so as to avoid failures when the routing equipment at the local end does not know the routing equipment at the opposite end. In the event of a failure, the data packet is forwarded to the peer routing device of the failure, resulting in loss of user data. [0003] At present, a method for monitoring routing equipment, the local routing equipment sends a plurality of routing protocol messages to the peer routing equipment every preset time, and the routing protocol messages include: Interior Gateway Protocol (English abbreviation: IGP) routing protocol message, Bord...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, when the local routing device sends multiple routing protocol packets to the peer routing device at preset intervals to monitor the peer routing device, since the local routing device needs to send packets to the peer routing device at regular intervals, Send specific routing protocol packets, for example, send Interior Gateway Protocol (English full name: Interior Gateway Protocol, English abbreviation: IGP) routing protocol packets to the peer routing device every 1 second, and send routing protocol packets to the peer routing device every 2 seconds Send BGP routing protocol packets, and send BFD routing protocol packets to the peer routing device every 0.5 seconds. Since multiple routing protocol packets need to be sent in a short period of time to monitor whether the corresponding protocol process of the routing device is faulty, resulting in The frequency of interaction between routing devices is high, which leads to a gradual decrease in the bandwidth actually used for business services
