Port packet loss detection method, device and communication equipment

Abstract

The invention provides a port packet loss detection method and apparatus, and a communication device. The port packet loss detection method and apparatus are applied to the communication device, and the communication device includes multiple to-be-detected ports and a packet loss detection module; the method comprises the steps of controlling the packet loss detection module to perform a preset time of packet loss detection on the multiple to-be-detected ports respectively one by one, so as to detect whether each of the to-be-detected ports has a packet loss; and when a current detected to-be-detected port has the packet loss, storing packet loss information recorded by the packet loss detection module to an information buffer area corresponding to the to-be-detected port. Through performing time division multiplexing on the packet loss detection module, the packet loss detection module is automatically controlled to perform loop detection on the multiple to-be-detected ports one by one; in such a way, the detection of one packet loss detection module on the multiple to-be-detected ports is implemented simply and effectively, and the detection efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of communication, and in particular, to a port packet loss detection method, device and communication equipment. Background technique [0002] Communication devices (for example, switches, routers, etc.) used for data forwarding usually include multiple communication ports, and it may be necessary to know the packet loss of different communication ports during device maintenance or development testing, so as to facilitate maintenance personnel to troubleshoot problems and developers for product development. Some existing communication devices provide a packet loss detection module, for example, a TCB (Transient Capture Buffer, transient capture buffer) module provided in a switch chip of Broadcom. [0003] The inventor found through research that the packet loss detection module of the current communication equipment is generally configured artificially, and can only perform packet loss detection ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] The inventor found through research that the packet loss detection module of the current communication equipment is generally configured artificially, and only one communication port can be used for packet loss detection at one time.

At the same time, the manual reconfiguration method is very inconvenient and inefficient in operation

In addition, if multiple packet loss detection modules are set to simultaneously perform packet loss detection on multiple communication ports, the cost of communication equipment will be increased
