Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, in particular, to a flow forwarding method and device. Background technique

[0002] Multi-Protocol Label Switching Traffic Engineering (MPLS Traffic Engineering, referred to as MPLS-TE) tunnel is calculated by user-specified or constrained shortest path first algorithm (Constrained Shortest Path First, referred to as CSPF) to generate a specific path, and through the resource reservation protocol (Resource Reservation Protocol, RSVP for short) protocol reserves bandwidth resources and allocates labels, and establishes a tunnel based on label switching to forward traffic. The MPLS-TE tunnel, TE tunnel, te_tunnel, and tunnel mentioned in the present invention are TE tunnels established through the RSVP protocol.

[0003] The current TE tunnel protection method is aimed at the status protection of the interfaces or router nodes passing through the tunnel part or complete path, and notifies the up...
