Embodiment Construction

[0030] Please refer to figure 1 , is a VBRAS (Virtual Broadband Remote Access Server, virtualized broadband remote access server) networking diagram, where the uplink device is a VBRAS device (a network device that assigns IP to user authentication and billing), and the downlink device is an OLT (Optical Line Terminal, optical line terminal) and the following public users. At present, VXLAN technology can be used to perform Layer 2 VXLAN forwarding on the switch, and a tunnel is established between the switch and the VBRAS, so that at the OVERLAY level, the switch performs VXLAN Layer 2 forwarding.

[0031] Switches usually use MAC-based Layer 2 VXLAN forwarding. The packet forwarding process is as follows: Assuming that the source MAC address of the uplink packet is A and the destination MAC address is B, then the source MAC address A is learned from the MAC address table of the device. MAC address B checks the MAC address table. If the destination MAC address B can be found...

Abstract

The invention provides a message forwarding method and device. When source MAC addresses of multiple downlink devices are the same, the method includes the following steps: when a first message sent by the downlink devices to an uplink device is received for the first time, acquiring a VLAN (Virtual eXtensible LAN) label of the first message, and creating a first forwarding entry containing a corresponding relationship between the VLAN label and a first output port; acquiring a destination MAC address of the first message, searching for a second output port corresponding to the destination MACaddress, and forwarding the first message to the uplink device from the second output port; and when a second message sent by the uplink device to the downlink devices is received, acquiring a VLAN label of the second message, searching for the first forwarding entry, acquiring the first output port corresponding to the VLAN label, and forwarding the second message to the downlink devices from the first output port. Therefore, according to the message forwarding method provided by the invention, the MAC address migration problem caused by MAC address conflict is avoided, and normal forwardingof the messages can be guaranteed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of communications, in particular to a message forwarding method and device. Background technique [0002] At present, VXLAN (Virtual eXtensible LAN, scalable virtual local area network) technology has become more popular in the metropolitan area network of operators. VXLAN technology can enable virtual machines in different locations of the same customer to realize layer-2 interconnection, so as to realize cross-layer The large layer 2 forwarding of the network. This VXLAN Layer 2 forwarding is a common MAC-based Layer 2 forwarding at the OVERLAY layer. [0003] Several public cloud and private cloud users are connected to the current metropolitan area network. Due to the large number of user MAC addresses and the uncontrollable MAC addresses generated by virtual machine software, MAC address conflicts may occur. The machine management software may generate virtual machines with address conflicts, which ma...
