Data processing method and related equipment

Abstract

The invention provides a data processing method and related equipment, for enabling data of management equipment to be consistent with data of a repeater in a multi-head management scene, capable of more efficiently and flexibly realizing data consistency of the management equipment and the repeater, and improving the reliability of communication between the management equipment and the repeater.The data processing method comprises the steps: the first management equipment of the plurality of management equipment sends a locking instruction to the forwarder, the locking instruction being usedfor indicating the forwarder to switch to a locking state, the locking state being a state in which the forwarder is only controlled by the first management equipment; the first management equipmentperforms difference comparison on the target data of the first management equipment and corresponding data corresponding to the target data on the transponder; if the first management equipment determines that the target data is not matched with the corresponding data according to the comparison result, the first management equipment synchronizes the target data with the corresponding data, so that the target data is matched with the corresponding data.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the communication field, in particular to a data processing method and related equipment. Background technique [0002] The controller in software defined network (software defined network, SDN) includes multiple scenarios when managing transponders. For example, one of the scenarios is single-head management, that is, the transponder is only managed by the controller, and the other scenario is multi-head Management, that is, the transponder can be controlled by multiple management devices, and the multiple devices can include a controller or other management devices. [0003] When the transponder is independently controlled by the management device, the data inconsistency between the controller and the management device may include various scenarios, for example, the transponder restarts, but the configuration on the transponder is not saved; Inter-network failures or the reasons of the forwarder itself, for example...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In a multi-head management scenario, the reason for the data inconsistency between the transponder and the management device may be that the transponder is controlled by other management devices except the management device, and the data sent by other management devices is different from the data sent by the management device. Data conflict, resulting in inconsistency between the data on the transponder and the data on the management device

However, the transponder is often unable to determine whether the data on the management device or the transponder is the main data, which makes the processing method of data synchronization complicated and inefficient.
