[0001] This application relates to the field of network transmission technology, and in particular to an alarm method, device and customer network management platform for optical transmission network leased lines. Background Technology

[0002] Optical Transport Network (OTN) is a type of transmission network that transmits, multiplexes, routes, and monitors service signals within the optical domain, ensuring their performance indicators and survivability.

[0055] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0056] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0057] Optical Transport Network (OTN) is a type of transmission network that transmits, multiplexes, routes, and monitors service signals within the optical domain, ensuring their performance and survivability. OTN uses WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology as its foundation, guaranteeing ultra-high transmission capacity while incorporating the powerful operation, maintenance, and management capabilities of SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy). Inheriting many advantages of SDH and WDM technologies, OTN has become the mainstream technology in the current industry. By fully utilizing transmission infrastructure resources, OTN can provide operators with flexible architectures and differentiated services in the era of IP and optical convergence. Telecommunication operators have a significant need to monitor various performance indicators of OTN leased lines in order to provide more refined and proactive services.

[0058] Optical transport networks (OPNs) possess technological advantages such as high bandwidth, hard-line capabilities, multi-service carrying capacity, and carrier-grade OAM (Operation Administration and Maintenance) mechanisms. They are widely adopted in the industry, deployed on a large scale in backbone networks and metropolitan area networks (MANs), providing high-quality pipelines for customer services with speeds above 1Gbps. With the development of informatization and cloudification, the demand for dedicated optical transport network lines and video services is gradually increasing. These services are characterized by relatively small bandwidth and a large number of services, requiring simple and quick flexible bandwidth adjustment. Traditional optical transport network technologies cannot provide efficient carrying services for these services, which has driven the development of optical transport networks from underlying infrastructure networks to end-point service networks. Against this backdrop, Optical Service Unit (OSU) technology has emerged. While retaining the advantages of traditional optical transport networks such as hard-line capabilities and rich OAM, OSUs can provide finer time slot granularity and a simpler lossless bandwidth adjustment mechanism, supporting customer services with speeds from 2M to 100Gbps. Because OSU technology enables fine-grained bandwidth configuration for optical transport network leased lines, the customer base for optical transport network leased line services has expanded further, leading to an increased demand for monitoring the performance indicators of OTN leased lines.

[0059] Existing technology does not support configuring a globally unified performance alarm threshold, and cannot provide personalized early warning or alarm services for each optical transport network leased by the user. At the same time, it cannot enable operators to discover problems in the optical transport network before users do, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0060] The technical solution of this application and how it solves the above-mentioned technical problems will be described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0061] Figure 1 This application provides a method and procedure for alarming on a leased line in an optical transport network. Figure 1 The method in this embodiment can be executed by the customer's network management platform, and can be implemented through hardware, software, or a combination of hardware and software. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the method of this application may include:

[0062] S101: Receive alarm threshold configuration request for optical transport network leased line performance indicators sent by the user. The alarm threshold configuration request carries at least one alarm threshold.

[0063] The performance indicators of optical transport network leased lines include, but are not limited to: latency, packet loss rate, jitter rate, and bandwidth utilization.

[0064] In addition to alarm thresholds, the alarm threshold configuration request also carries the service name, performance indicators, alarm level, and purpose of the optical transport network leased line. The alarm threshold configuration request can include one or more performance indicators, and each performance indicator can have one or more alarm thresholds. Alarm levels can be divided into several levels, such as normal, early warning, ordinary alarm, and critical alarm. For example, setting a performance indicator value above 70% is an early warning to remind relevant maintenance personnel to intervene in advance, enabling them to detect and handle issues before the customer; a performance indicator value above 80% is an ordinary alarm, and above 90% is a critical alarm. Purpose can be divided into user and operator use of the alarm threshold.

[0065] In one implementation scenario, to improve the rationality of alarm threshold settings and avoid user misconfiguration or unreasonable alarm threshold settings, at least one alarm threshold carried in the alarm threshold configuration request can be validated. For example, the alarm threshold can be limited to a reasonable range. If the alarm threshold set by the user is not within this range, the validation fails, and the alarm threshold configuration request can be rejected. If the alarm threshold set by the user is within this range, the validation succeeds, and the service name, performance indicators, alarm level, purpose, and at least one alarm threshold of the optical transport network leased line in the alarm threshold configuration request are saved to the database, completing the alarm threshold setting, as shown in Table 1.

[0066] Table 1. Alarm Threshold Information for Optical Transmission Network Leased Lines

[0067] Serial Number Dedicated line service name Performance indicators Alarm threshold Alarm Level use 1 Dedicated Line 1 Service Name Performance Indicator 1 Alarm threshold 1 Warning Operators use 2 Dedicated Line 1 Service Name Performance Indicator 1 Alarm threshold 2 Common alarm Customers and operators use 3 Dedicated Line 1 Service Name Performance Indicator 1 Alarm threshold 3 Serious alarm Customers and operators use 4 …… …… …… …… ……

[0068] In one implementation scenario, as shown in Table 1, alarm threshold 1 is used by the operator. When the value of performance index 1 of leased line 1 reaches alarm threshold 1, an alarm message is sent to the operator, enabling the operator to discover the problem of the optical transport network leased line before the customer, thereby solving the problem and improving the user experience.

[0069] After setting the alarm thresholds for the optical transport network leased line, users can query and customize the alarm thresholds for various performance indicators of the optical transport network leased line through the interface provided by the customer network management platform, according to their own business application management needs. For example, users can log in to the customer network management platform and query the current alarm thresholds of the optical transport network leased line by its service name.

[0070] S102: Determine the lowest alarm threshold included in the alarm thresholds.

[0071] In one implementation scenario, if the performance indicators of a certain optical transport network leased line correspond to multiple alarm thresholds, then the multiple alarm thresholds can be compared to determine the lowest alarm threshold.

[0072] In another implementation scenario, if the performance index of a certain optical transport network leased line corresponds to an alarm threshold, then that alarm threshold can be directly used as the minimum alarm threshold.

[0073] It should be noted that the minimum alarm threshold is relative to a performance indicator of a dedicated optical transport network line.

[0074] S103: Generate a minimum alarm threshold configuration request and send the minimum alarm threshold configuration request to the cloud network coordinator. The minimum alarm threshold configuration request carries the minimum alarm threshold.

[0075] In one implementation scenario, when there are multiple alarm thresholds for a certain performance indicator of an optical transport network, only the lowest alarm threshold needs to be sent to the cloud network coordinator. The cloud network coordinator then determines whether the value of that performance indicator of the optical transport network leased line is higher than the lowest alarm threshold.

[0076] In another implementation scenario, when the alarm threshold for a certain performance indicator of an optical transport network leased line is one, the alarm threshold is sent to the cloud network coordinator, which then determines whether the value of that performance indicator of the optical transport network leased line is higher than the alarm threshold.

[0077] S104: Receive alarm messages sent by the cloud network coordinator. The alarm messages carry performance indicator values.

[0078] In one implementation scenario, the cloud-network coordinator receives performance indicator data for the optical transport network leased line from the optical transport network controller. After parsing and processing the performance indicator data, the performance indicator value is obtained. The performance indicator value is compared with the minimum alarm threshold. If the performance indicator value is higher than the minimum alarm threshold, an alarm message is sent to the customer's network management platform.

[0079] S105: Determine the alarm level based on the performance index value and send the alarm level to the user.

[0080] As shown in Table 1, the database of the customer network management platform stores information such as the performance indicators of the optical transmission network leased line, one or more alarm thresholds and alarm levels. Therefore, the corresponding alarm level can be determined based on the performance indicator values.

[0081] In one implementation scenario, once the alarm level is determined, the operator's maintenance personnel, account manager, or customer can be notified promptly via SMS, email, or other means.

[0082] After sending the current alarm level of the optical transport network leased line to the user, it can be determined whether the alarm of the optical transport network leased line has been cleared based on whether the alarm message of the next cycle compared to the current cycle is received from the cloud network coordinator within a set period.

[0083] In one implementation scenario, if the customer's network management platform receives an alarm message for the current period of the optical transport network leased line and does not receive another alarm message for the same optical transport network leased line from the cloud network coordinator within a set period, it can be determined that the alarm for the optical transport network leased line has been cleared.

[0084] In another implementation scenario, after the customer network management platform receives the alarm message for the current period of the optical transport network leased line, if it receives another alarm message for the optical transport network leased line from the cloud network coordinator within the set period, it can be determined that the alarm for the optical transport network leased line has not been cleared. At this time, it will continue to determine the alarm level based on the alarm message and send the alarm level to the user.

[0085] This application provides a method for alarming optical transport network leased lines. It receives an alarm threshold configuration request for optical transport network leased line performance indicators from a user, the request carrying at least one alarm threshold. The method determines the lowest alarm threshold included in the alarm threshold set, generates a minimum alarm threshold configuration request carrying the lowest alarm threshold, and sends the minimum alarm threshold configuration request to a cloud-network coordinator. It receives an alarm message from the cloud-network coordinator, the message carrying performance indicator values. The method determines the alarm level based on the performance indicator values ​​and sends the alarm level to the user. The method provided by this application can set one or more alarm thresholds for the performance indicators of each optical transport network leased line, quickly and flexibly achieving user-specific fine-grained management, providing users with customized differentiated services, improving the flexibility of setting alarm thresholds for optical transport network leased lines, and thus effectively enhancing the user experience.

[0086] Based on the above embodiments, the following embodiment describes a method for alarming optical transport network leased lines, using a cloud network coordinator as the execution subject.

[0087] Figure 2 A flowchart of an optical transport network leased line alarm method provided in this application embodiment Figure 2 The method in this embodiment can be executed by a cloud-network coordinator, and can be implemented through hardware, software, or a combination of hardware and software. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the method of this application may include:

[0088] S201: Periodically receive performance index data of the optical transport network leased line sent by the optical transport network controller, and parse the performance index data to obtain the performance index value of the optical transport network leased line.

[0089] The optical transport network controller is used to manage the underlying optical transport network, collect performance index data of the optical transport network leased lines, and periodically generate files corresponding to the performance index data of the optical transport network leased lines at certain time intervals.

[0090] In one implementation scenario, the cloud-network coordinator collects performance data from the optical transport network controller at fixed intervals via interfaces such as FTP (File Transfer Protocol). The interval can be appropriately shortened to further improve the timeliness of alarms on the optical transport network leased lines. For example, the interval could be 15 minutes.

[0091] S202: Determine whether the performance indicator value is higher than the minimum alarm threshold.

[0092] Since the cloud network coordinator receives the minimum alarm threshold configuration request sent by the customer's network management platform, and this minimum alarm threshold configuration request carries the minimum alarm threshold, the cloud network coordinator compares the performance index values ​​of the optical transport network leased line with the minimum alarm threshold.

[0093] S203: If the performance indicator value is higher than the minimum alarm threshold, send an alarm message to the customer's network management platform.

[0094] Alarm messages can carry the service name, performance indicators, and performance indicator values ​​of the optical transport network leased line.

[0095] After sending an alarm message to the customer's network management platform, the platform can determine the alarm level based on the specific performance metric values ​​and promptly notify the user of the alarm level.

[0096] In another implementation scenario, if the performance index value is lower than the minimum alarm threshold, it indicates that the performance index value of the optical transmission leased line is within a reasonable range and the optical transmission network leased line is normal.

[0097] It should be noted that, because the cloud-network coordinator can periodically receive performance indicator data of the optical transport network leased lines from the optical transport network controller, if a performance indicator value is detected to be higher than the alarm threshold in the current period, an alarm message is sent to the customer's network management platform. Since the cloud-network coordinator does not record the alarm status of the optical transport network leased lines, if a performance indicator value is still detected to be higher than the alarm threshold in the next period, an alarm message will continue to be sent to the customer's network management platform. If a performance indicator value is detected to be lower than the alarm threshold in the next period, no alarm message will be sent.

[0098] The optical transport network leased line alarm method provided in this application periodically receives performance indicator data of the optical transport network leased line sent by the optical transport network controller. After parsing the performance indicator data, the performance indicator value of the optical transport network leased line can be obtained. It is then determined whether the performance indicator value is higher than a minimum alarm threshold. If the performance indicator value is higher than the minimum alarm threshold, an alarm message is sent to the customer's network management platform. The method provided in this application can determine whether the performance indicator data of the optical transport network leased line meets the conditions for triggering an alarm, thereby realizing alarms for the optical transport network leased line and improving the user experience.

[0099] Since the cloud network coordinator needs to set alarm thresholds before issuing alarms, a specific embodiment is provided below to describe in detail the process of setting alarm thresholds for the cloud network coordinator.

[0100] Figure 3 A flowchart illustrating a method for setting alarm thresholds in a cloud-network coordinator, provided in this application embodiment, is shown below. This method can be executed by the cloud-network coordinator.

[0101] S301: Receive the service name of the optical transport network leased line sent by the upper-layer service acceptance system, and generate a universally unique identifier based on the service name.

[0102] The cloud-network coordinator can identify a single optical transport network leased line using its Universally Unique Identifier (UUID). When an optical transport network leased line is activated, the upper-layer service acceptance system sends the service name of the leased line to the cloud-network coordinator. The cloud-network coordinator then generates the corresponding universally unique identifier (UUID) upon activation. The upper-layer service acceptance system is the business system responsible for activating the optical transport network leased line, and the universally unique identifier is the information that identifies the leased line.

[0103] S302: Receives a minimum alarm threshold configuration request sent by the customer's network management platform. The minimum alarm threshold configuration request carries the service name, performance indicators, and minimum alarm threshold of the optical transport network leased line.

[0104] In one implementation scenario, if a user sets tiered alerts for the same performance indicator on the same optical transport network leased line, that is, sets multiple alarm thresholds corresponding to different alarm levels, the customer's network management platform only needs to send the lowest alarm threshold among the multiple alarm thresholds to the cloud network coordinator. The cloud network coordinator then makes an alarm prediction for the performance indicator based on the lowest threshold.

[0105] To improve the rationality of alarm threshold settings, in one implementation scenario, after receiving a minimum alarm threshold configuration request sent by the customer's network management platform, the minimum alarm threshold carried in the minimum alarm threshold configuration request can be verified.

[0106] S303: Generate performance indicator configuration information for the optical transport network leased line based on the minimum alarm threshold configuration request, and save the performance indicator configuration information to the database. The performance indicator configuration information includes the service name, universal unique identifier, performance indicators and minimum alarm threshold of the optical transport network leased line.

[0107] To clearly indicate various information such as the service name, universal unique identifier, performance indicators, and minimum alarm threshold of the optical transport network leased line, the corresponding information can be stored in a database in tabular form, as shown in Table 2:

[0108] Table 2 Performance Indicators and Configuration Information for Optical Transmission Network Leased Lines

[0109] Serial Number Dedicated line service name Dedicated line UUID Performance indicators Alarm threshold 1 Dedicated Line 1 Service Name Dedicated line 1UUID Performance Indicator 1 Alarm threshold 1 2 Dedicated Line 1 Service Name Dedicated line 1UUID Performance Indicator 2 Alarm threshold 2 3 Dedicated Line 2 Service Name Dedicated line 2UUID Performance index 3 Alarm threshold 3 4 Leased Line 3 Service Name Dedicated line 3UUID Performance index 4 Alarm threshold 4 5 …… …… …… ……

[0110] It should be noted that if a certain performance indicator of a certain optical transport network leased line has multiple alarm thresholds, the alarm thresholds in Table 2 are the lowest alarm thresholds. If a certain performance indicator of a certain optical transport network leased line has only one alarm threshold, then the alarm thresholds in Table 2 are that alarm threshold.

[0111] This application provides a method for setting alarm thresholds in a cloud-network coordinator. It receives the service name of an optical transport network leased line from an upper-layer service acceptance system and generates a universally unique identifier based on the service name. It also receives a minimum alarm threshold configuration request from a customer network management platform, which carries the service name, performance indicators, and minimum alarm threshold of the optical transport network leased line. Based on the minimum alarm threshold configuration request, it generates performance indicator configuration information for the optical transport network leased line and saves this information to a database. The performance indicator configuration information includes the service name, universally unique identifier, performance indicators, and minimum alarm threshold of the optical transport network leased line. The method provided in this application generates performance indicator information for the optical transport network leased line based on the minimum alarm threshold configuration request, enabling the cloud-network coordinator to determine whether the performance indicators of the optical transport network leased line are normal based on the performance indicator information. It also verifies the alarm threshold, improving the rationality of the alarm threshold setting.
