AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In a ring network, the ringing of service traffic can lead to broadcast storms, wasting bandwidth and causing device restarts and network instability. Existing configuration methods rely on manual operation, which is inefficient and consumes a lot of manpower and resources.

Method used

By sending probe messages and receiving updated messages through the root node, automated detection of ring network paths can be achieved through message interaction, obtaining node port information and loop-breaking capabilities, and reducing manual configuration.

Benefits of technology

It enables automated detection of ring network paths, saving manpower and resources, improving processing efficiency, and reducing the time and resource consumption of manual configuration.

Abstract

This application provides a communication method and related equipment for ring networks, which automates the detection of paths in a ring network through message exchange. Compared with manual configuration by maintenance personnel, this method saves manpower and resources while improving processing efficiency. In this method, the root node sends a first message through a first port. This first message is used to detect the path in the ring network and includes the port information of the first port. The root node receives a second message through a second port. The second message is obtained by updating the first message N times. The second message includes the port information of the first port and the port information of N nodes on the path other than the root node, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.
