Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communications, and in particular to a method, device and storage medium for processing service messages. Background Art

[0002] With the development of science and technology, people have a wide demand for gateways, which can realize the data transmission of communication services. At present, communication services are usually transmitted by gateways (such as routers, switches, etc.) to the fixed network core network and mobile network core network, and then transmitted to the Internet after billing, authentication and other processing.

[0003] However, in the process of processing communication services, the gateway only provides data paths for the terminal side and the service side, and does not provide the service capability of processing services. The gateway has physical hardware resources such as the central processing unit (CPU), memory, and switching chip. In other words, the gateway has the service capability of providing processing services, but does not provide the service capability of processing services. This results in a large amount of waste of the physical hardware resources of the gateway and a low resource utilization rate. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present application provides a method, device and storage medium for processing service messages, which can improve the resource utilization of a gateway.

[0005] In order to achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] In a first aspect, the present application provides a method for processing a business message, which is applied to a first gateway, wherein an application forwarding table is stored in the first gateway, and the application forwarding table is used to indicate the relationship between the business message and the application container image, and the application container image is used to process the business message. In this method, the first gateway obtains a target business message. The first gateway determines a target container image based on the target business message and the application forwarding table, and the target container image is used to process the target business message. The first gateway calls the target container image to process the target business message.

[0007] Based on the above technical solution, since the first gateway stores an application forwarding table, the application forwarding table is used to indicate the relationship between the business message and the application container image, and the application container image is used to process the business message. Therefore, after the first gateway obtains the target business message, the first gateway determines the target container image based on the target business message and the application forwarding table, and the target container image is used to process the target business message. Then, the first gateway calls the target container image to process the target business message. In this way, not only can the gateway process the application business, but also improve the resource utilization of the gateway. Moreover, the container image and the gateway use the same operating system, which can reduce the consumption of CPU resources. In addition, the gateway is closer to the terminal side, and can sink the business processing to the terminal side, further meeting the needs of edge computing.

[0008] In one possible design, the first gateway further includes a switching chip. The switching chip determines whether the target service message is a first-class service message, and the first-class service message is used to indicate a service message that the first gateway can process. If the target service message is a first-class service message, the switching chip determines the target container image based on the target service message and the application forwarding table.

[0009] In a possible design, the first gateway also stores a routing table, which is used to indicate the relationship between the service message and other gateways, where the other gateways are gateways other than the first gateway, and the other gateways include the second gateway. If the target service message is a second-class service message, the switching chip sends the target service message to the second gateway according to the target service message and the routing table, and the second-class service message is used to indicate a service message that cannot be processed by the first gateway.

[0010] In one possible design, multiple application container images are obtained by the first gateway from the edge cloud platform. The first gateway determines whether a target container image exists in the multiple application container images. If the target container image exists in the multiple application container images, the first gateway calls the target container image to process the target business message.

[0011] In one possible design, if the target container image does not exist in multiple application container images, the first gateway obtains the target container image from the edge cloud platform.

[0012] In one possible design, the first gateway includes: a first main control board and a second main control board. When the first main control board is not faulty, the first main control board calls the target container image to process the target business message. When the first main control board fails, the second main control board calls the target container image to process the target business message. Whether the first main control board fails is detected by the edge cloud platform.

[0013] In a second aspect, the present application provides a service message processing device, which is applied to a first gateway, wherein an application forwarding table is stored in the first gateway, and the application forwarding table is used to indicate the relationship between the service message and the application container image, and the application container image is used to process the service message. The device includes an acquisition unit and a processing unit.

[0014] The acquisition unit is used to acquire the target business message. The processing unit is used to determine the target container image according to the target business message and the application forwarding table, and the target container image is used to process the target business message. The processing unit is also used to call the target container image to process the target business message.

[0015] In one possible design, the first gateway further includes a switching chip. The processing unit is further used to determine whether the target service message is a first-class service message through the switching chip, and the first-class service message is used to indicate a service message that the first gateway can process. The processing unit is specifically used to determine the target container image according to the target service message and the application forwarding table through the switching chip if the target service message is a first-class service message.

[0016] In a possible design, the first gateway also stores a routing table, which is used to indicate the relationship between the service message and other gateways, the other gateways are gateways other than the first gateway, and the other gateways include the second gateway. The processing unit is also used to send the target service message to the second gateway through the switching chip according to the target service message and the routing table if the target service message is a second-class service message, and the second-class service message is used to indicate the service message that cannot be processed by the first gateway.

[0017] In one possible design, multiple application container images are obtained by the first gateway from the edge cloud platform. The processing unit is also used to determine whether a target container image exists in the multiple application container images. The processing unit is specifically used to call the target container image to process the target business message if the target container image exists in the multiple application container images.

[0018] In one possible design, the processing unit is further used to obtain the target container image from the edge cloud platform if the target container image does not exist in the multiple application container images.

[0019] In a possible design, the first gateway includes: a first main control board and a second main control board. The processing unit is specifically used to call the target container image through the first main control board to process the target business message when the first main control board is not faulty. The processing unit is specifically used to call the target container image through the second main control board to process the target business message when the first main control board fails. Whether the first main control board fails is detected by the edge cloud platform.

[0020] In the third aspect, the present application provides a device for processing business messages, the device comprising: a processor and a memory; the processor and the memory are coupled; the memory is used to store one or more programs, the one or more programs including computer execution instructions, when the device for processing business messages is running, the processor executes the computer execution instructions stored in the memory to implement the method for processing business messages as described in the first aspect and any possible implementation method of the first aspect.

[0021] In a fourth aspect, the present application provides a computer-readable storage medium, which stores instructions. When the instructions are executed on a computer, the computer executes the method for processing business messages described in the above-mentioned first aspect and any possible implementation method of the first aspect.

[0022] In a fifth aspect, the present application provides a chip, comprising a processor and a communication interface, wherein the communication interface and the processor are coupled, and the processor is used to run a computer program or instructions to implement a method for processing business messages as described in the first aspect and any possible implementation of the first aspect.

[0023] In the above scheme, the technical problems that can be solved and the technical effects achieved by the business message processing device, computer equipment, computer storage medium or chip can be referred to the technical problems and technical effects solved by the above-mentioned first aspect, and will not be repeated here.

[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0034] In this article, the character " / " generally indicates that the objects before and after are in an "or" relationship. For example, A / B can be understood as A or B.

[0035] The terms “first” and “second” in the description and claims of the present application are used to distinguish different objects rather than to describe a specific order of the objects.

[0036] In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof mentioned in the description of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or modules is not limited to the listed steps or modules, but may optionally include other steps or modules that are not listed, or may optionally include other steps or modules that are inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0037] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the present application should not be interpreted as being more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present concepts in a specific way.

[0038] Before introducing the embodiments of the present application, the terms involved in the embodiments of the present application are first introduced.

[0039] In container image technology, containers effectively divide resources managed by a single operating system into isolated groups to better balance conflicting resource usage requirements between groups. Each container runs an application, and different containers are isolated from each other. Communication mechanisms can also be established between containers. The efficiency of creating and stopping containers is high, and the resource requirements are much lower than virtual machines.

[0040] With the development of science and technology, people have a wide demand for gateways, which can realize data transmission of communication services. However, in the process of processing communication services, the gateway only provides data paths for the terminal side and the service side, and does not provide service capabilities for processing services. The gateway has physical hardware resources such as the central processing unit (CPU), memory, and switching chips. In other words, the gateway has the service capabilities to process services, but does not provide service capabilities for processing services. As a result, the physical hardware resources of the gateway are wasted in large quantities, and the resource utilization rate is low.

[0041] In the current technical solution, the physical port connected to the switching chip of the first Ethernet data bus of the gateway fusion device can be configured as an uplink interface for forwarding the data message flow of the network access supporting three-layer forwarding, and the physical port connected to the Ethernet switching chip of the second Ethernet data bus can be configured as a downlink interface for forwarding the data message flow of the access to the virtual application. The CPU can associate the data message flow of the network access supporting three-layer forwarding and the data message flow of the access to the virtual application independently with the router operating system and the virtual application by connecting the different physical ports of the first Ethernet data bus and the second Ethernet data bus respectively. However, in the above scheme, the forwarding service and the third-party application service are independent of each other on the physical port, and the operating systems of the traditional routing forwarding and the virtual application are also isolated from each other. Deploying third-party applications in the form of virtual machines will cause the service messages to be transmitted between the two operating systems, resulting in additional consumption of CPU resources.

[0042] In order to solve the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for processing business messages, which is applied to a first gateway, the first gateway includes multiple application container images, and the first gateway stores an application forwarding table, which is used to indicate the relationship between the business message and the application container image. The first gateway can process the business message through multiple application container images. In this way, not only can the gateway process the application business, but also improve the resource utilization of the gateway. Moreover, the container image and the gateway have the same operating system, which can reduce the consumption of CPU resources.

[0043] Before introducing in detail a method for processing a service message according to an embodiment of the present application, the implementation environment and application scenarios of the embodiment of the present application are first introduced.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, a communication system provided in an embodiment of the present application includes a gateway, a network device (such as a base station), a terminal, a metropolitan area convergence layer and an edge cloud platform.

[0045] Among them, the base station may include various forms of base stations, such as: macro base stations, micro base stations (also called small stations), relay stations, access points, etc. Specifically, it can be: an access point (AP) in a wireless local area network (WLAN), a base station (Base Transceiver Station, BTS) in a global system for mobile communications (GSM) or code division multiple access (CDMA), or a base station (NodeB, NB) in a wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA), or an evolved Node B (eNB or eNodeB) in LTE, or a relay station or access point, or a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, and the next generation Node B (gNB) in a future 5G network or a base station in a future evolved public land mobile network (PLMN) network, etc.

[0046] The terminal can be a device with transceiver functions. The terminal can be deployed on land, including indoors or outdoors, handheld or vehicle-mounted; it can also be deployed on the water (such as ships, etc.); it can also be deployed in the air (such as airplanes, balloons, and satellites, etc.). The terminal includes a handheld device, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, or a computing device with wireless communication functions. Exemplarily, the terminal can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or a computer with wireless transceiver functions. The terminal device can also be a virtual reality (VR) terminal device, an augmented reality (AR) terminal device, a wireless terminal in industrial control, a wireless terminal in unmanned driving, a wireless terminal in telemedicine, a wireless terminal in smart grids, a wireless terminal in smart cities, a wireless terminal in smart homes, etc.

[0047] The gateway is used to transmit and forward business messages. In addition, the gateway can process business messages. The edge cloud platform can process business messages and provide container images for the gateway.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, a system architecture of a gateway provided in an embodiment of the present application is provided, and the system architecture includes: a user layer, a kernel layer and a hardware layer.

[0049] Among them, the user layer includes: image distribution interface, application container image, service orchestration scheduler, network element management interface, configuration delivery module, configuration parsing module, resource scheduling module, main control plane protocol stack, backup control plane protocol stack and database.

[0050] The image distribution interface is used to request container images from the edge cloud platform. The application container image can process the business message of the application. The service orchestration scheduler is used to provide application registration, loading and running environment for the application container image. The service orchestration scheduler exchanges with the edge cloud platform using the image distribution application programming interface (Application Programming Interface, API) and remote procedure call (Remote Procedure Call, RPC) protocol to realize the business scheduling of container images from the cloud to the gateway.

[0051] The network element management interface is used to transmit service messages to other network devices (such as other gateways). The configuration delivery module can be used to receive service configuration parameters delivered by the controller (or network element management system) through the netconf protocol or command line. The configuration parsing module is used to parse the configuration, convert the configuration data (such as the destination port) into machine-readable code and store it in the database. The resource scheduling module is used to communicate with the control plane protocol stack (main control plane protocol stack, backup control plane protocol stack) through the netlink standard kernel communication interface, and communicate with the service orchestration scheduler to complete the reservation and allocation of hardware resources to third-party applications. The database stores data (such as service data processed by the gateway, application data, etc.).

[0052] The kernel layer includes: programming driver, switch chip application driver and switch chip driver.

[0053] When the CPU processes a service message with a large number of encapsulation layers (such as more than 4 layers), it is driven by programming (also called Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) driver).

[0054] It is understandable that by processing service messages with a large number of layers through programming, the CPU resource consumption can be reduced.

[0055] The switch chip application driver (also known as the Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) APP driver) can transfer the application forwarding information base (FIB) table (also known as the application forwarding table or application FIB table) in the CPU to the switch chip. The switch chip driver (ASIC driver) can transfer the routing forwarding information table (also known as the routing forwarding table or routing FIB table) in the CPU to the switch chip.

[0056] The hardware layer includes: processors, switching chips, and programming gate arrays (which can be called service orchestration schedulers).

[0057] The processor is used to process the service message. The switching chip is used to forward the service message, and the switching chip is used to parse the service message and transmit the parsed service message to the processor. For example, the service message has four layers, and the service message after stripping the four layers can be transmitted to the processor, and the processor processes the service message. Optionally, the switching chip can also be used to transmit the service message to other gateways. The programming gate array is used to parse the service message whose encapsulation layer number of the service message is greater than the preset threshold layer number.

[0058] For example, Figure 4 As shown, the resource scheduling module can allocate processing resources for the service orchestration scheduler and the router control plane protocol. The service orchestration server generates an application forwarding table and sends it to the switch chip through the switch chip application driver. The router control plane protocol generates a routing forwarding table and sends it to the switch chip through the switch chip driver.

[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the hardware structure of a gateway provided in an embodiment of the present application, and the hardware structure of the gateway includes: at least one interface, at least one programming gate array, at least one backplane, and at least one main control board (such as a main main control board and a standby main control board). Taking the main control board as an example, the main control board includes: a processor, a switching chip, and a programming gate array.

[0060] Among them, the interface, the programming gate array, and the main control board can communicate with each other. For example, the interface and the programming gate array can communicate through SERDES (serializer / deserializer). The processor and the switching chip, and the switching chip and the programming gate array can communicate through SERDES. The processor and the programming gate array can communicate through the high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard (peripheral component interconnect express, PCIE).

[0061] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0062] like Figure 5 As shown, a method for processing a service message provided in an embodiment of the present application includes:

[0063] S501: The first gateway obtains a target service message.

[0064] The target service message is used to indicate the processing of the target service.

[0065] It should be noted that the target service is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. For example, the target service may be a query service of an application. For another example, the target service may be a rendering service of an application. For another example, the target service may be an update service of an application.

[0066] In a possible implementation manner, the terminal may send a target service message to the first gateway, and the first gateway receives the target service message from the terminal.

[0067] Exemplarily, the terminal starts application A and sends a target service message to the first gateway, where the target service message is a message generated by application A.

[0068] S502: The first gateway determines a target container image according to the target service message and the application forwarding table.

[0069] The target container image is used to process the target business message.

[0070] In an embodiment of the present application, the first gateway includes multiple application container images. The application container images are used to process business messages.

[0071] It should be noted that each application container image can only process the business messages of one application, and different application container images process business messages corresponding to different applications. For example, container image A is used to process the business messages of application A, container image B is used to process the business messages of application B, and container image C is used to process the business messages of application C.

[0072] The first gateway stores an application forwarding table, which is used to indicate the relationship between the service message and the application container image.

[0073] Exemplarily, as shown in Table 1, it shows the relationship between the business message and the application container image.

[0074] That is, when the service message is service message A, service message A is processed by container image A. When the service message is service message B, service message B is processed by container image A. When the service message is service message C, service message C is processed by container image A.

[0075] Table 1

[0076] Business message Container images Business message A Container Image A Business message B Container Image B Business message C Container Image C

[0077] In a possible implementation manner, the first gateway determines the target container image according to the message information of the service message and the application forwarding table.

[0078] Exemplarily, if the message information of the business message is port A, and port A in the application forwarding table corresponds to container image A, then the target container image is determined to be container image A.

[0079] S503: The first gateway calls the target container image to process the target service message.

[0080] In some embodiments, multiple container images are obtained by the first gateway from the edge cloud platform. Specifically, the first gateway can send an image request message to the edge cloud platform. Afterwards, the first gateway receives the image from the edge cloud platform and creates a container image based on the image.

[0081] Exemplarily, the first gateway may pull image A from the edge cloud platform and create container image A.

[0082] In a possible implementation, before the first gateway calls the target container image to process the target service message, the first gateway determines whether the target container image exists in the multiple application container images.

[0083] Exemplarily, if the first gateway determines that the target container image is container image A, it can be queried whether container image A exists in the first gateway.

[0084] In one possible design, if a target container image exists in multiple application container images, the first gateway calls the target container image to process the target business message.

[0085] In one possible design, if the target container image exists in multiple application container images, the first gateway calls the target container image to process the target business message. If the target container image does not exist in multiple application container images, the target container image is obtained from the edge cloud platform. After that, the first gateway can call the target container image to process the target business message.

[0086] Exemplarily, if the first gateway determines that the target container image is container image A, and container image A does not exist in the first gateway, image A can be pulled from the edge cloud platform and a container image can be created.

[0087] It can be understood that when the target container image does not exist in the first gateway, obtaining the target container image from the edge cloud platform can ensure that the first gateway processes the target business message and improve the resource utilization of the first gateway.

[0088] In a possible implementation, the switching chip transmits the target service message to the target container image, and the target container image processes the target service message.

[0089] For example, if the target service message is used to instruct to query the first user information in application A, the first gateway may call the target container to query the first user information in application A. Afterwards, the first gateway sends the first user information to the target container image.

[0090] It is understandable that, since the first gateway stores an application forwarding table, the application forwarding table is used to indicate the relationship between the business message and the application container image, and the application container image is used to process the business message. Therefore, after the first gateway obtains the target business message, the first gateway determines the target container image based on the target business message and the application forwarding table, and the target container image is used to process the target business message. Then, the first gateway calls the target container image to process the target business message. In this way, not only can the gateway process the application business, but also improve the resource utilization of the gateway. Moreover, the container image and the gateway use the same operating system, which can reduce the consumption of CPU resources. In addition, the gateway is closer to the terminal side, and can sink the business processing to the terminal side, further meeting the needs of edge computing.

[0091] In some embodiments, the first gateway includes a switching chip that can transmit the service message to the application container image, or the switching chip can forward the service message to other gateways. Figure 6 As shown, a method for processing a service message provided in an embodiment of the present application, before S502, the method also includes S601-S602.

[0092] S601: The switching chip determines whether a target service message is a first-category service message.

[0093] The first type of service message is used to indicate the service message that can be processed by the first gateway.

[0094] In a possible implementation, the switching chip can determine whether the target service message is a first-class service message through an access control list (ACL). If the target service message exists in the ACL, the switching chip determines that the target service message is a first-class service message. If the target service message does not exist in the ACL, the switching chip determines that the target service message is a second-class service message.

[0095] In the embodiment of the present application, the second type of service message is used to indicate the service message that cannot be processed by the first gateway.

[0096] For example, if the ACL includes: service message A, service message B, service message C and service message D. If the target service message is service message A, the target service message is determined to be a first-class service message. If the target service message is service message H, the target service message is determined to be a second-class service message.

[0097] In some embodiments, if the target service message is a first-category service message, the switching chip executes S502.

[0098] In some embodiments, if the target service message is a first-category service message, the switch chip executes S502. If the target service message is a second-category service message, the switch chip executes S602.

[0099] S602: The switching chip sends the target service message to the second gateway according to the target service message and the routing forwarding table.

[0100] In the embodiment of the present application, the first gateway also stores a routing table, which is used to indicate the relationship between the service message and other gateways. The other gateways are gateways other than the first gateway. The other gateways include the second gateway

[0101] Exemplarily, as shown in Table 2, it shows the relationship between the service message and other gateways.

[0102] Table 2

[0103] Business message Other Gateways Business message A Gateway A Business message B Gateway B Business message C Gateway C

[0104] That is, when the service message is service message A, the switch chip sends service message A to gateway A. When the service message is service message B, the switch chip sends service message B to gateway B. When the service message is service message C, the switch chip sends service message C to gateway C.

[0105] In a possible implementation, the switching chip determines the second gateway according to the target service message and the routing forwarding table, and the second gateway corresponds to the target service message. Then, the switching chip sends the target service message to the second gateway.

[0106] Exemplarily, in combination with Table 2, if the target service message is service message B, the second gateway is determined to be gateway B, and the switching chip sends service message B to gateway B.

[0107] The following describes the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with specific examples. Figure 7 As shown, after the switching chip receives the target business message, it can determine whether the target business message exists through the ACL. If the target business message does not exist, the switching chip driver can determine the second gateway according to the routing forwarding table, and send the target business message to the second gateway. If the target business message exists, traverse the ACL to see if there is an ACL entry that matches the target business message. If there is an ACL entry that matches the target business message, the switching chip application driver sends the target business message to the target container image according to the application forwarding table. If there is no ACL entry that matches the target business message, the switching chip driver can determine the second gateway according to the routing forwarding table, and send the target business message to the second gateway.

[0108] It is understandable that the first gateway also stores a routing table, which is used to indicate the relationship between the service message and other gateways, and the other gateways are gateways other than the first gateway. In other words, if the target service message is a second-class service message, that is, the target service message is a service message that cannot be processed by the first gateway, the switching chip sends the target service message to the second gateway according to the target service message and the routing table. In this way, the target service message can be sent to other gateways, and then other devices can process the service message. In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the switching chip forwards the target service message, which can improve the processing efficiency of the service message and reduce the processing pressure of the processor.

[0109] In some embodiments, the first gateway includes: a first main control board and a second main control board.

[0110] It should be noted that the first main control board may also be referred to as a primary main control board, and the second main control board may also be referred to as a backup main control board.

[0111] In a possible implementation, the first gateway calls the target container image to process the target business message, including: when the first main control board does not fail, the first main control board calls the target container image to process the target business message. When the first main control board fails, the second main control board calls the target container image to process the target business message. Whether the first main control board fails is detected by the edge cloud platform.

[0112] It should be noted that, when there are multiple main control boards in the current gateway device, hot standby will be implemented for the multiple main control boards, that is, multiple main control boards will be backed up. However, this will consume the resources of the first gateway.

[0113] In an embodiment of the present application, the edge cloud platform can monitor whether the first main control board fails. In the event of a failure of the first main control board, the edge cloud platform can send multiple application container images to the second main control board.
