Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a data processing method based on middleware on an FTTR gateway, belonging to the technical field of network communications. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the internet and big data applications, data traffic is increasing, and application scenarios are diversifying. This is driving a growing demand for efficient data processing in FTTR gateways. As key nodes in network data transmission, FTTR gateways undertake critical data processing and forwarding tasks. Traditional data processing methods suffer from low resource utilization and poor scalability, necessitating the development of new data processing methods to improve efficiency and reliability. Middleware containers, as lightweight software container technologies, are widely used in cloud computing, microservices architectures, and other fields to manage and deploy software components and facilitate interaction and communication between them. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and provide a data processing method based on middleware on an FTTR gateway.

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] The data processing method based on middleware on the FTTR gateway is characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0006] 1) Integrate the middleware system into the FTTR firmware. Since the middleware system needs to be deployed to the device to run, the middleware system is packaged and attached to the gateway device firmware;

[0007] 2) Initialize the middleware container. During the startup of the FTTR gateway device, add a command to instantiate the middleware in the startup script so that it is deployed to the partition that is not actually used by the gateway;

[0008] 3) Software handler deployment: configure or query operations on the FTTR gateway device through the integrated command line. The command directly interacts with the middleware for data exchange, and the required configuration of the gateway is implemented through the middleware system. Gateway interaction depends on network connectivity, ensuring that the FTTR gateway is connected to the network.

[0009] 4) Data packet parsing and scheduling: Define a unified communication interface and specifications between the gateway and the middleware container for data exchange between components. The middleware container receives and parses incoming data packets and schedules the corresponding software processing module to process the data according to established rules and policies. The software processing module is responsible for packet filtering, protocol parsing, and data forwarding.

[0010] 5) Fault recovery and fault tolerance: The middleware container supports fault monitoring, fault tolerance, and recovery mechanisms for software processing programs to ensure system stability and reliability. It uses a daemon process to restart the corresponding program process to prevent function unavailability caused by missing applications.

[0011] Furthermore, the above-mentioned data processing method based on middleware on the FTTR gateway, wherein, in step 1), the middleware system is integrated into the FTTR firmware. After the FTTR device is successfully started, the middleware file is transferred to the device through the tftp method, and then installed into the designated partition through the mtd command so that it can be mounted and operated normally; before compiling the FTTR device bin file, the middleware file is placed in the system file, a new bin file is generated together with the software package, and a command line for starting the middleware is added to the startup script.

[0012] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned middleware-based data processing method on the FTTR gateway, step 2) of initializing the middleware container specifically includes the following steps:

[0013] S21, burn the compiled bin software package to the FTTR device. During the device startup, use the update command to release and install the middleware to the corresponding partition;

[0014] S22: Trace the startup log to view the entire installation process. Initialize the middleware during the installation process. After the device is successfully started, use the ps command to view the middleware management process. If the process exists, the initialization is normal. Use the lxc-attach command to enter the middleware to view the internal process. If the relevant process does not exist, it means that there is a problem with the initialization process. Trace the startup installation log to troubleshoot.

[0015] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned middleware-based data processing method on the FTTR gateway, step 3), software processing program deployment, specifically includes the following steps:

[0016] S31: Connect the FTTR device to the network via PON or Ethernet uplink. Use the ping command on the gateway and the middleware system to ensure that the network is normal.

[0017] S32, configure or query the device through the command line integrated into the FTTR gateway;

[0018] S33, after the command interacts with the middleware, the middleware system converts the command line operation into processable data, and then sends the relevant configuration to take effect.

[0019] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned middleware-based data processing method on the FTTR gateway, step 4), data packet parsing and scheduling, specifically includes the following steps:

[0020] S41 defines the specifications and interfaces for interaction between the gateway and the middleware system, and uses JSON to process interaction data.

[0021] S42: The gateway defines a command line processing function, which parses the command line parameters and assembles the data according to the JSON syntax format.

[0022] S43, defining a set of interfaces suitable for data processing in the middleware system, and the middleware receives the data packet and performs parsing and processing;

[0023] S44: The gateway receives the information returned by the middleware and parses it into common data types for processing.

[0024] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned middleware-based data processing method on the FTTR gateway, step S43 includes the following steps:

[0025] S431: Verify the data packet. The JSON data passed from the gateway is first syntax-checked. If there is any problem, an error code is returned to the gateway.

[0026] S432, parse the data packet. Under the premise that S431 is verified to be correct, extract the specific operation, which may be a set or get operation. If it is not one of these similar operations, return an error code; if it is a set operation, parse the incoming data separately and call the middleware data processing interface for processing; if it is a get operation, extract the keywords in the data and call the middleware interface to return the corresponding data to the gateway side; the gateway side translates the data through the established reverse parsing interface.

[0027] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned middleware-based data processing method on the FTTR gateway, step 5), fault recovery and fault tolerance processing, specifically includes the following steps:

[0028] S51: Add a daemon script corresponding to the middleware process in the device. If the ps function finds that the management process does not exist or has become a zombie process, the script will try to start the process again after sleeping for a certain period of time.

[0029] S52: The middleware internal program has a protection mechanism. If data interaction fails for a long time, the internal program should be restarted first. If the interaction still fails under normal circumstances, check the network problem between the middleware and the gateway first, and then consider whether to restart the middleware system.

[0030] S53: An error occurs when transmitting data between the FTTR gateway and the middleware. Analyze the container.log file under the middleware to find the specific cause of the problem.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has significant advantages and beneficial effects, which are specifically reflected in the following aspects:

[0032] A method for implementing efficient data processing on FTTR gateways using middleware containers. By deploying middleware containers and corresponding data processing programs on the FTTR gateway, dynamic scheduling and optimization of data processing tasks are achieved.

[0038] like Figure 1As shown, the data processing method based on the middleware on the FTTR gateway includes the following steps:

[0039] 1) Integrate the middleware system into the FTTR firmware. Since the middleware system needs to be deployed to the device to run, the middleware system is packaged and attached to the gateway device firmware;

[0040] Integrate the middleware system into the FTTR firmware. After the FTTR device successfully boots up, transfer the middleware file to the device via TFTP. Then, use the mtd command to install it into the specified partition so that it can be mounted and operated normally. Before compiling the FTTR device bin file, place the middleware file in the system file and generate a new bin file together with the software package. Add the command line to start the middleware in the startup script.

[0041] 2) Initialize the middleware container. During the startup of the FTTR gateway device, add a command to instantiate the middleware in the startup script so that it is deployed to the partition that is not actually used by the gateway;

[0042] S21, burn the compiled bin software package to the FTTR device. During the device startup, use the update command to release and install the middleware to the corresponding partition;

[0043] S22: Track the startup log to view the entire installation process. Initialize the middleware during the installation process. After the device successfully starts, use the ps command to view the middleware management process. If the process exists, the initialization is normal. Use the lxc-attach command to enter the middleware and view the internal process. If the relevant process does not exist, it means that there is a problem with the initialization process. Trace the startup installation log to troubleshoot.

[0044] 3) Software handler deployment: configure or query operations on the FTTR gateway device through the integrated command line. The command directly interacts with the middleware for data exchange, and the required configuration of the gateway is implemented through the middleware system. Gateway interaction depends on network connectivity, ensuring that the FTTR gateway is connected to the network.

[0045] S31: Connect the FTTR device to the network via PON or Ethernet uplink. Use the ping command on the gateway and the middleware system to ensure that the network is normal.

[0046] S32, configure or query the device through the command line integrated into the FTTR gateway;

[0047] S33, after the command and the middleware exchange data, the middleware system converts the command line operation into processable data, and then sends the relevant configuration to take effect;

[0048] 4) Data packet parsing and scheduling: Define a unified communication interface and specifications between the gateway and the middleware container for data exchange between components. The middleware container receives and parses incoming data packets and schedules the corresponding software processing module to process the data according to established rules and policies. The software processing module is responsible for packet filtering, protocol parsing, and data forwarding.

[0049] S41 defines the specifications and interfaces for interaction between the gateway and the middleware system, and uses JSON to process interaction data.

[0050] S42: The gateway defines a command line processing function, which parses the command line parameters and assembles the data according to the JSON syntax format.

[0051] S43, defining a set of interfaces suitable for data processing in the middleware system. The middleware receives the data packet and performs parsing and processing, including the following steps:

[0052] S431: Verify the data packet. The JSON data passed from the gateway is first syntax-checked. If there is any problem, an error code is returned to the gateway.

[0053] S432: Parse the data packet. If S431 is verified to be correct, extract the specific operation, such as set or get. If it is not one of these operations, return an error code. If it is a set operation, parse the incoming data separately and call the middleware data processing interface for processing. If it is a get operation, extract the keywords in the data and call the middleware interface to return the corresponding data to the gateway. The gateway translates the data through the established reverse parsing interface.

[0054] S44: The gateway receives the information returned by the middleware and parses it into common data types for processing;

[0055] 5) Fault recovery and fault tolerance: The middleware container supports fault monitoring, fault tolerance, and recovery mechanisms for software processing programs to ensure system stability and reliability. It uses a daemon process to restart the corresponding program process to prevent function unavailability caused by application loss.

[0056] S51: Add a daemon script corresponding to the middleware process in the device. If PS finds that the management process does not exist or becomes a zombie process, the script will try to start the process again after sleeping for a period of time. There is no need to worry about the operation of the middleware itself.

[0057] S52: The middleware internal program has a protection mechanism. If data interaction fails for a long time, the internal program should be restarted first. If the interaction still fails under normal circumstances, check the network problem between the middleware and the gateway first, and then consider whether to restart the middleware system.

[0058] S53: There is more than one reason for errors in data transmission between the FTTR gateway and the middleware. Analyze the container.log under the middleware to find the specific cause of the problem.

[0059] In summary, the present invention utilizes a middleware container to implement a method for efficient data processing on an FTTR gateway. By deploying the middleware container and the corresponding data processing program on the FTTR gateway, dynamic scheduling and optimization of data processing tasks are achieved. The efficient and flexible interactive processing method is applicable to scenarios with various data transmission and processing requirements, effectively improving system performance and user experience, and achieving high data processing efficiency and reliability.
