Method and system for single board software storage and loading

Abstract

The present invention discloses a single board software storing and loading method and system. The present invented method includes network administrator classifying and packing the loading needed single board software into number of single board software packages respectively down sending to plurality of net element equipment in network system and saving; said net element equipment judging whether itself storing said equipment service board loading needed single board software, if it is then down sending said single board software to said service board, otherwise obtaining loading needed single board software from other net element equipment and down sending to service board. The present invented system includes single board software classifying packing module, judging module and single board software memory module. The present invented system and method reduce net element equipment master control board storage capacity requirement and master control board cost, and raising software-loading speed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of network communication, in particular to a method and system for storing and loading single-board software. Background technique [0002] With the development of network communication technologies, various network communication devices emerge as the times require, including multi-service transport devices, such as MSTP (Multi-service Transport Platform) devices. The MSTP device not only supports single boards that process traditional TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) services, but also supports single boards that process data services such as Ethernet and ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode, asynchronous transfer mode). [0003] Various devices such as the CPU and FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array, Field Programmable Gate Array) on the service single board (hereinafter referred to as the service board) of MSTP and other multi-service transmission equipment all need software to work, so the service board needs...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0011] 1. The loading efficiency is relatively low. It may take an hour to load a single board software with several megabytes

If there are more single-board software in the system that needs to be loaded, it will take a lot of time and may affect the communication business

[0012] 2. It is necessary to manually load each board

[0015] 1. Since all the single-board software supported by all network element devices in the network must be stored in the main control board as a software package, the storage space requirements for the main control board are relatively high, often requiring tens of megabytes of space, resulting in The shortage of control board storage space;

[0016] 2. Since the main control board needs to use a large-capacity storage device, the cost of the main control board is increased;
