Method, device, forwarding device and system for configuring interface

Abstract

The invention provides an interface configuration method, an interface configuration device, forwarding equipment and a system, relates to the technical field of communication, and can increase the utilization rate of transmission resources of the equipment. The device comprises N sending interfaces and M receiving interfaces; the N sending interfaces form X sending interface groups; the M receiving interfaces form Y receiving interface groups; at least one sending interface group in the X sending interface groups and at least one receiving interface group in the Y receiving interface groups form at least one bidirectional interface; the number of the sending interfaces in the sending interface group and the number of the receiving interfaces in the receiving interface group forming each bidirectional interface are different; furthermore, the sending interfaces in the sending interface group and the receiving interfaces in the receiving interface group forming each bidirectional interface are connected with the same opposite device; the opposite device is a device connected with the device; each bidirectional interface is used for sending and receiving data by the device, wherein N, M, X and Y are positive integers; and FORMULAE are shown in the specification.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of communications, and in particular to a method, device, forwarding device and system for configuring an interface. Background technique [0002] With the development of video technology, 4K, 8K, virtual reality (virtual reality, VR) and other video services are more and more widely used. [0003] Currently, in Ethernet (Ethernet), video services are usually transmitted using Ethernet technology. Specifically, such as figure 1 As shown, assuming that video services are transmitted between device X and device Y, then a bidirectional Ethernet interface (including sending interface TX1 and receiving interface RX1) on device X can be connected to a bidirectional Ethernet interface ( Including sending interface TX2 and receiving interface RX2) connected. Specifically, such as figure 1 As shown, the transmitting interface TX1 on the device X can be connected to the receiving interface RX2 on the dev...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, under normal circumstances, assuming that device X requests video services from device Y, then during the process of device X requesting video services from device Y, the incoming traffic on device X (such as downloading video services) may be much greater than the outgoing traffic on device X. traffic (such as sending a request message requesting a video service), but in the above method, the transmission rates of the Ethernet interfaces in the two directions connected to each other on the device X and the device Y are the same, so it is possible to transmit the video service using the above Ethernet technology It will waste the transmission resources of the device, resulting in a low utilization rate of the transmission resources of the device
