[0002] Currently, the Request for Comments (RFC) document is an Internet technology standard document developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).

[0003] RFC documents play a significant role in understanding network device protocols. They collect information on various protocols and are generally written by different people or organizations at different times. The writing style and structure of these documents are influenced by different periods, individuals, and organizations, resulting in relatively little variation. The number of RFC documents is vast, totaling up to nine thousand, and they are generally arranged by number.

[0004] Due to the large number of RFC documents and the lack of regularity in document changes, the efficiency of identifying differences in the text of different versions of protocols needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0035] Before introducing the protocol text difference recognition method provided in the embodiments of this application, the technical background of the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below for ease of understanding.

[0036] Currently, RFC documents are internet technology standard documents developed by the IETF. These RFC documents play an important role in network device protocols.

[0037] The number of RFC documents is vast, totaling as many as nine thousand, and they are generally numbered. Common RFC numbers include 791 for the IP protocol and 793 for the TCP protocol. RFC documents are generally sponsored and published by the Internet Society (ISOC). RFC documents collect information on various protocols, including internet-related information, UNIX (uniplexed information and computering system), and software documents from the internet community. A single RFC document can be written by different people or organizations at different times, and its writing style and structure are influenced by different periods, individuals, and organizations.

[0038] Currently, RFC documents suffer from the following problems: Since RFC documents are only added, it's impossible to update or delete text within existing RFC documents. To update an existing RFC document, a new RFC document must be published and declared as an update to the previous document's functionality, or as a replacement of the previous RFC document. Therefore, it's difficult to determine which text in a new version of an RFC document is an update to a previous version. A method and apparatus for identifying protocol text differences are needed to improve the efficiency of identifying differences between different versions of the protocol text.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the specific steps of a protocol text difference recognition method provided in this application embodiment include:

[0040] Step 101: Determine first feature data from the first data. The first data includes text data of the first protocol version. The first feature data includes at least one of the following types of data: protocol message header data and protocol errata data.

[0041] In one possible embodiment, the first data can be obtained through the RFC document download module in step 101.

[0042] Optionally, the first data and the second data can be two different protocol versions of RFC documents. The RFC download module in the RFC document server can download the RFC document from the IETF organization and store the downloaded RFC document on the RFC document server. Figure 2 As shown, the RFC document server may include an RFC document download module, a text extraction module, a version difference identification module, an evolution visualization module, and a database module.

[0043] The following text combines Figure 2 The modular structure is used to describe the method provided in the embodiments of this application. It can be understood that... Figure 2 The modular structure shown is merely one possible structure for an apparatus that performs the method described in the embodiments of this application. The apparatus may also have other structures, meaning that the functions performed by the above modules can be performed by modules in other structures.

[0044] In one possible embodiment, the RFC document download module determines the first feature data. In this embodiment, by comparing the first feature data of the first data and the first feature data of the second data, the differences in feature data between different protocol versions are determined, thereby improving the efficiency of identifying differences in protocol text between different versions. The first feature data includes at least one of the following types of data: protocol message header data and protocol errata data. For example, the protocol message header data is the title of any protocol document, and the protocol errata is a description of errors or omissions in the protocol document. The RFC document download module can obtain the RFC-1032 document and its message header data. The title of the RFC-1032 document, "Domain Administrator Guide," is the message header data. The RFC-7230 document is an errata, in which the text data of URL links (https-URIs) are listed using the SHOULD statement.

[0045] Optionally, the first feature data may also include text data similar to the SHOULD statement, such as: errata text data indicating possible or necessary modifications using MAY or MUST, and the publication date and status of the RFC-1032 document. Taking RFC-1032 as an example, the first feature data may also include the functional description, protocol syntax, and protocol timing of domain management in RFC-1032, and the RFC-1032 number, publication status, and publication date, as well as the functional description of domain or management in RFC-1032. In one possible embodiment, the RFC download module may acquire multiple first data from the RFC document. Each first data corresponds to a protocol version. The RFC download module may store multiple first data in the database.

[0046] In one possible embodiment, the text extraction module can extract text data of any first protocol version from multiple first data sets in the database. The text data of the first protocol version is the text data used for text difference identification. The text extraction module can utilize the association relationship and text extraction techniques such as template technology, rule engine technology, or machine learning to determine the first feature data corresponding to the first protocol version. The first feature data corresponding to the first protocol version can represent multiple text data sets and protocol versions; that is, the first feature data replaces the entire RFC document, and the difference information of the first feature data in different versions replaces the differences in the RFC document, thereby improving the efficiency of identifying RFC document differences. For example, the template technology, which developed with the advancement of computer graphics technology, can fix and standardize the structural rules of a thing, and can output text data in a structured and standardized manner. The rule engine technology is a technology for embedding components into applications, which can use predefined semantic modules to obtain business rules, i.e., to obtain rule text data. The machine learning can discover patterns and correlations in data through algorithms, and mine the implicit feature structure data of text data.

[0047] Step 102: Determine the difference information based on the first feature data corresponding to the first data and the first feature data corresponding to the second data. The second data includes text data of a second protocol version, and the first protocol version is different from the second protocol version.

[0048] In one possible embodiment, the RFC document download module can obtain text data of multiple second protocol versions. The text extraction module can extract text data of any second protocol version from the multiple second data. Here, the second protocol version may include multiple protocol versions, or in other words, data from two different second protocol versions belong to different protocol versions.

[0049] In one possible embodiment, the version difference identification module can obtain the difference information, which includes at least one of protocol version differences, protocol content change information, and technology evolution information.

[0050] The following examples illustrate the meaning and determination methods of protocol version differences, protocol content change information, and technology evolution information.

[0051] (1) Protocol version differences

[0052] Protocol version differences refer to version differences in the first feature data.

[0053] In one possible embodiment, if the first feature data is a single protocol text, the protocol version difference can correspond to the difference in the single protocol text. The protocol version difference is the result of a simple comparison between the first feature data of the first version and the first feature data of the second version. For example, the RFC document server can have a built-in timed data synchronization function. The RFC document download module can download the RFC document from the IETF organization to the RFC document server at fixed time intervals using a synchronization tool. The RFC document download module can obtain at least two RFC documents with different protocol versions sequentially based on the data synchronization function. The acquisition time interval can be determined according to requirements. The version difference identification module can compare the at least two RFC documents with different protocol versions obtained sequentially to obtain the protocol version difference.

[0054] (2) Information on changes to the agreement content

[0055] The protocol content change information refers to the version and function changes of the first feature data.

[0056] In one possible embodiment, if the first feature data comprises multiple protocol texts and functional descriptions, the protocol version difference may correspond to the differences in multiple protocol texts and functional descriptions. For example, the version difference identification module may compare the first feature data of at least two different protocol versions, RFC-1032 and RFC-1033, obtained sequentially. The first feature data in RFC-1032 indicates an update to RFC-1031, while the first feature data in RFC-1033 indicates the obsolescence of RFC-1031. The version difference identification module may use an algorithm to traverse text data or functional descriptions associated with the first feature data. Based on the functional descriptions of multiple first feature data, the version difference identification module may determine whether the function of the first feature data in RFC-1033 has changed from updated to obsolescence relative to the function of the first feature data in RFC-1032. The difference in the first feature data is the protocol content change information. RFC-1031, RFC-1032, and RFC-1033 are merely examples.

[0057] (3) Technological evolution information

[0058] Technology evolution information refers to the comparison result of the business description of the protocol text of the first data and the second data.

[0059] In one possible embodiment, if the first feature data represents business logic among multiple protocol texts, the protocol version difference can correspond to the difference in business logic among the multiple protocol texts. Optionally, the version difference identification module can traverse the business descriptions of the protocol texts using an algorithm. The version difference identification module can compare the business descriptions of multiple protocol texts, and the comparison result of the business descriptions of multiple protocol texts is the technology evolution information. For example, the version difference identification module can compare the first feature data of at least two different protocol versions, RFC-1032 and RFC-1033, obtained successively, to obtain the business logic among multiple protocol texts of RFC-1032 and RFC-1033. RFC-1032 and RFC-1033 belong to protocol families RFC-1001 to RFC-1500. By traversing the data associations of multiple protocol texts in the RFC-1500 protocol family and the data associations of multiple protocol texts in the RFC-1001 protocol family, the technology evolution information of RFC-1032 and RFC-1033 can be obtained.

[0060] In one possible embodiment, the RFC document download module can download text data of a second protocol version and text data of a first protocol version, wherein the text data of the first protocol version is text data whose textual differences are to be identified. The RFC document download module can determine first feature data, obtain the first feature data corresponding to the second data and the first feature data corresponding to the first data, that is, obtain the first feature data of the second protocol version and the first feature data of the first protocol version.

[0061] In one possible embodiment, the evolution visualization module can graphically display the difference information on the display screen of the difference recognition device, or it can perform regular expression matching calculations on the difference information and output the results to the display screen via an interface, displaying the difference information on the screen. For example, the difference information can be loaded into the computer workspace, and the rule engine technology can be used to match the difference information with multiple rules loaded into the workspace to obtain the matching degree between the difference information and the multiple rules. The evolution visualization module can further calculate the weight value of the matching degree. Based on the weight value, the rule with the high matching degree is obtained, and this rule is used as the display result of the difference information and sent to the user terminal via email.
