Description

Technical Field

[0002] To meet the needs of broadband services shifting from single-type home Internet access services to complex enterprise-oriented (ToBusiness, ToB) and home-oriented (ToH) services and to create network differentiation advantages, technical personnel have built a Broadband Remote Access Server (BRAS) with separated control and transmission. The BRAS architecture separates the control plane and user plane. The control plane facilitates intensive and refined control, while user plane pooling improves overall efficiency and security.

[0003] In related technologies, when allocating Broadband Remote Access Server-User Plane (BRAS-UP) ports to network services, these ports are allocated based on existing fixed ports. This results in some services being assigned ports that fail to meet their network requirements, while others are assigned ports with excessive transmission capacity, resulting in a waste of resources.

Since port types include high-speed transmission type and low-speed transmission type, and the port bandwidth corresponding to the high-speed transmission type is greater than the port bandwidth corresponding to the low-speed transmission type, the device can select a port with a transmission rate that matches the service to be allocated based on the service type of the service to be allocated to process the service to be allocated.

Furthermore, the device determines the number of ports of the port type to be allocated based on the bandwidth requirements of the service to be allocated and the port bandwidth corresponding to the port type. This ensures that the ports of the BRAS-UP device are utilized effectively while meeting the requirements of the service to be allocated, and that the ports of the BRAS-UP device are appropriately configured, thereby improving port utilization.

[0042] To meet the needs of broadband services shifting from single-type home Internet access services to complex ToB and ToH services and to create network differentiation advantages, technical personnel have built BRAS with separated control and transmission. BRAS architecture separates the control plane and user plane. The control plane facilitates intensive and refined control, while user plane pooling improves overall efficiency and security.

[0043] In related technologies, when allocating BRAS-UP ports to network services, these ports are allocated based on existing fixed ports. This results in some services being assigned ports that fail to meet their network requirements, while others are assigned ports with excessive transmission capacity, resulting in a waste of resources. Therefore, how to rationally allocate BRAS-UP ports to tasks remains a technical challenge.

[0044] In an embodiment of the present application, a port allocation device obtains service information of a service to be allocated. Considering that the service information includes service type and bandwidth requirements, the device determines a port type in the broadband remote access server user interface (BRAS-UP) device that matches the service to be allocated based on the service type of the service to be allocated. Since port types include high-speed transmission type and low-speed transmission type, and the port bandwidth corresponding to the high-speed transmission type is greater than the port bandwidth corresponding to the low-speed transmission type, the device can select a port with a transmission rate that matches the service to be allocated based on the service type of the service to be allocated to process the service to be allocated. This allows for the optimal port matching of the service to be allocated, avoiding the waste of resources caused by having high-speed ports handle low-volume services, as is the case in the prior art, and also avoiding congestion caused by having low-speed ports handle high-volume services. Furthermore, the device determines the number of ports of the port type to be allocated based on the bandwidth requirements of the service to be allocated and the port bandwidth corresponding to the port type. This ensures that the ports of the BRAS-UP device are utilized effectively while meeting the requirements of the service to be allocated, and that the ports of the BRAS-UP device are appropriately configured, thereby improving port utilization.

[0045] For example, Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the architecture of a port allocation system provided in an embodiment of the present application. The port allocation system includes: a port allocation device 101 and an acquisition device 102.

[0046] The acquisition device 102 is used to acquire service information of the service to be allocated, including service type and bandwidth requirement.

[0047] The port allocation device 101 is configured to obtain service information of a service to be allocated through an acquisition device 102. Based on the service type of the service to be allocated, the port allocation device 101 determines a port type in a broadband remote access server user interface (BRAS-UP) device that matches the service to be allocated. The port type includes a high-speed transmission type or a low-speed transmission type. The port bandwidth corresponding to the high-speed transmission type is greater than the port bandwidth corresponding to the low-speed transmission type. The port allocation device 101 is configured to determine the number of ports of the port type to be allocated corresponding to the service to be allocated based on the bandwidth requirement of the service to be allocated and the port bandwidth corresponding to the port type.

[0048] Optionally, the physical device of the acquisition device 102 is a terminal, and the physical device of the port allocation apparatus 101 is a server.

[0049] Optionally, the terminal may be a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to a user, a handheld device with wireless connection capabilities, or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem. A wireless terminal may communicate with one or more core networks via a radio access network (RAN). A wireless terminal may be a mobile terminal, such as a mobile phone (or "cellular" phone) and a computer with a mobile terminal, or a portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer-built-in, or vehicle-mounted mobile device that exchanges voice and / or data with a radio access network, such as a mobile phone, tablet computer, laptop computer, netbook, or personal digital assistant (PDA).

[0050] Optionally, the above-mentioned server can be a server in a server cluster (consisting of multiple servers), or a chip in the server, or a system on a chip in the server, or can be implemented through a virtual machine (VM) deployed on a physical machine. This embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0051] The embodiment of the present application provides a port allocation device for executing the port allocation system provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a port allocation device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the port allocation device 200 includes at least one processor 201, a communication line 202, and at least one communication interface 204, and may further include a memory 203. The processor 201, the memory 203, and the communication interface 204 may be connected via the communication line 202.

[0052] The processor 201 can be a central processing unit (CPU), an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or one or more integrated circuits configured to implement the embodiments of the present application, such as one or more digital signal processors (DSPs) or one or more field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).

[0053] The communication link 202 may include a pathway for transmitting information between the aforementioned components.

[0054] The communication interface 204 is used to communicate with other devices or communication networks, and can use any transceiver-like device, such as Ethernet, radio access network (RAN), WLAN, etc.

[0055] The memory 203 may be a read-only memory (ROM) or other type of static storage device that can store static information and instructions, a random access memory (RAM) or other type of dynamic storage device that can store information and instructions, or an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), a compact disc read-only memory (CD-ROM) or other optical disc storage, an optical disc storage (including a compact disc, laser disc, optical disc, digital versatile disc, Blu-ray disc, etc.), a magnetic disk storage medium or other magnetic storage device, or any other medium that can be used to include or store desired program code in the form of instructions or data structures and can be accessed by a computer, but is not limited to these.

[0056] In one possible design, the memory 203 can exist independently of the processor 201, that is, the memory 203 can be a memory external to the processor 201. In this case, the memory 203 can be connected to the processor 201 via the communication line 202, and is used to store execution instructions or application code, and the execution is controlled by the processor 201 to implement the port allocation method provided in the following embodiments of this application. In another possible design, the memory 203 can also be integrated with the processor 201, that is, the memory 203 can be the internal memory of the processor 201, for example, the memory 203 is a high-speed cache, which can be used to temporarily store some data and instruction information.

[0057] As an implementation method, the processor 201 may include one or more CPUs, such as Figure 2 As another implementation, the port allocation device 200 may include multiple processors, such as Figure 2 As another implementation, the port allocation apparatus 200 may further include an output device 205 and an input device 206.

[0058] The following, combined with the Figure 3A port allocation method provided in an embodiment of the present application is described in detail. Figure 3 As shown, the port allocation method includes S301-S303.

[0059] S301: The port allocation device obtains service information of a service to be allocated.

[0060] The service information includes service type and bandwidth requirement. The service to be allocated includes at least one of the following: broadband Internet access service, voice service, and terminal management service.

[0061] In a possible implementation, the port allocation device obtains service information of the service to be allocated from the operator's pipe network system.

[0062] S302: The port allocating device determines a port type in the BRAS-UP device that matches the service to be allocated based on the service type of the service to be allocated.

[0063] The port type includes a high-speed transmission type or a low-speed transmission type; a port bandwidth corresponding to the high-speed transmission type is greater than a port bandwidth corresponding to the low-speed transmission type.

[0064] Optionally, the high-speed transmission port is a 100GE port, and the low-speed transmission port is a 10GE port. 100GE ports and 10GE ports can share the same slot.

[0065] It's important to explain that the BRAS-UP device is the user-plane processing unit in the BRAS architecture, responsible for user traffic aggregation, forwarding, and Quality of Service (QoS) control. It's typically separated from the control plane and employs a distributed architecture to improve system scalability and reliability. As the core device in the broadband access network, the BRAS-UP is responsible for user traffic aggregation, forwarding, and QoS control, providing operators with high-quality broadband access services. Furthermore, the BRAS-UP device supports enterprise dedicated line access, providing enterprises with stable, high-speed network connections to meet their office and data transmission needs.

[0066] S303: The port allocating device determines the number of ports of the port type allocated corresponding to the service to be allocated based on the bandwidth requirement of the service to be allocated and the port bandwidth corresponding to the port type.

[0067] In a possible implementation, the port allocating device determines the number of ports of the port type to be allocated corresponding to the service to be allocated based on the ratio of the bandwidth requirement of the service to be allocated and the port bandwidth corresponding to the port type.

[0068] The above solution provides at least the following beneficial effects: In this embodiment of the present application, the port allocation device obtains service information of the service to be allocated. Considering that the service information includes service type and bandwidth requirements, the device determines, based on the service type of the service to be allocated, a port type in the broadband remote access server user interface (BRAS-UP) device that matches the service to be allocated. Since port types include high-speed transmission type and low-speed transmission type, and the port bandwidth corresponding to the high-speed transmission type is greater than the port bandwidth corresponding to the low-speed transmission type, the device can select a port with a transmission rate that matches the service to be allocated based on the service type of the service to be allocated to process the service to be allocated. This allows for the proper port matching of the service to be allocated, avoiding the waste of resources caused by having high-speed ports handle low-volume services, as is the case in the prior art, and also avoiding congestion caused by having low-speed ports handle high-volume services. Furthermore, the device determines the number of ports of the port type to be allocated based on the bandwidth requirements of the service to be allocated and the port bandwidth corresponding to the port type. This ensures that the ports of the BRAS-UP device are properly utilized and configured for the ports, while meeting the requirements of the service to be allocated, thereby improving port utilization.

[0069] In one possible implementation, combining Figure 3 ,like Figure 4 As shown, in S301 , the process in which the port allocation device obtains the service information of the service to be allocated can be specifically implemented through the following S401 - S403 .

[0070] S401: The port allocation device obtains the number of users corresponding to the service to be allocated and the traffic demand of a single user for the service to be allocated.

[0071] It needs to be explained that different types of services correspond to different numbers of users; and a single user has different traffic requirements for different services.

[0072] S402: The port allocation device obtains the number of master devices of the BRAS-UP device.

[0073] In a possible implementation, the port allocating device obtains the number of master devices of the BRAS-UP device according to the pooling scale selected by the BRAS-UP device.

[0074] For example, when the pooling scale selected by the BRAS-UP device is 1+1, the number of master devices of the BRAS-UP device is 1; when the pooling scale selected by the BRAS-UP device is 3+1, the number of master devices of the BRAS-UP device is 3.

[0075] S403: The port allocation device determines the bandwidth requirement according to the number of users corresponding to the service to be allocated, the traffic requirement of a single user for the service to be allocated, the number of master devices of the BRAS-UP device, and the concurrent online rate of users.

[0076] Optionally, the bandwidth requirement satisfies the following formula: Bandwidth requirement = a*b*c / n / 1024, where a is the number of users corresponding to the service to be allocated, b is the traffic requirement of a single user for the service to be allocated, c is the user concurrent online rate, and n is the number of master devices of the BRAS-UP device.

[0077] Among them, c is 0.85.

[0078] For example, as shown in Table 1 below, when the BRAS-UP device selects a 1+1 pooling scale, the service type is broadband Internet access service, the number of users is 200,000, and the traffic demand of a single user for the allocated service is 3Mbps, and the bandwidth demand is 498Gbps; the service type is voice service, the number of users is 100,000, and the traffic demand of a single user for the allocated service is 0.1Mbps, and the bandwidth demand is 8.5Gbps; the service type is terminal management service, the number of users is 200,000, and the traffic demand of a single user for the allocated service is 0.1Mbps, and the bandwidth demand is 17Gbps.

[0079] Table 1: Bandwidth requirements for 1+1 pooling

[0080]

[0081] For example, as shown in Table 2 below, when the BRAS-UP device selects a 3+1 pooling scale, the service type is broadband Internet access service, the number of users is 400,000, the traffic demand of a single user for the allocated service is 5Mbps, and the bandwidth demand is 553Gbps; the service type is voice service, the number of users is 200,000, the traffic demand of a single user for the allocated service is 0.3Mbps, and the bandwidth demand is 16Gbps; the service type is terminal management service, the number of users is 400,000, the traffic demand of a single user for the allocated service is 0.3Mbps, and the bandwidth demand is 33Gbps.

[0082] Table 2: Bandwidth requirements for 3+1 pooling

[0083]

[0084] The above scheme brings at least the following beneficial effects: In the embodiment of the present application, taking into account the impact of the user concurrent online rate and the number of master devices of the BRAS-UP device on the bandwidth demand of the to-be-allocated service, the port allocation device can accurately determine the bandwidth demand based on the number of users corresponding to the to-be-allocated service, the traffic demand of a single user for the to-be-allocated service, the number of master devices of the BRAS-UP device, and the user concurrent online rate.

[0085] In one possible implementation, combining Figure 3 ,like Figure 5 As shown, in S301 , the process in which the port allocation device obtains the service information of the service to be allocated can be specifically implemented through the following S501 - S503 .

[0086] S501: The port allocation device obtains a single-user traffic demand of a service to be allocated.

[0087] In a possible implementation, the port allocation device obtains the single-user traffic demand of the service to be allocated through the operator's server.

[0088] It needs to be explained that the operator's server will analyze and record the communication data in the network.

[0089] S502: If the traffic demand of a single user for the service to be allocated is greater than a first threshold, the port allocation device determines that the service to be allocated is a high-traffic service.

[0090] Optionally, the first threshold is 1 Mbps.

[0091] It should be explained that high-traffic business usually refers to business scenarios that need to process or transmit massive amounts of data in a short period of time. Its core characteristics are large data scale, high real-time requirements, and critical system stability.

[0092] S503: If the traffic demand of the service to be allocated by the single user is less than or equal to the first threshold, the port allocation device determines that the service to be allocated is a low-traffic service.

[0093] Understandably, low-traffic services typically refer to scenarios with smaller data volumes, low user concurrency, and relatively simple business logic. While less technically complex than high-traffic services, they also require attention to stability, user experience, and cost control.

[0094] It is understandable that we do not further limit the order of S502 and S503.

[0095] The above solution brings at least the following beneficial effects: In the embodiment of the present application, the port allocation device determines whether the service to be allocated is a high-traffic service or a low-traffic service based on the single-user traffic demand of the service to be allocated, and then determines the port corresponding to the service to be allocated.

[0096] In one possible implementation, combining Figure 5 ,like Figure 6 As shown, in S503, if the traffic demand of a single user for the service to be allocated is less than or equal to the first threshold, the port allocation device determines that the service to be allocated is a low-traffic service, and then determines the type of the traffic service. The process of the port allocation device determining the type of the traffic service can be specifically implemented through the following S601-S602.

[0097] S601: When the service to be allocated is a high-traffic service, the port allocation device determines that the port type is a high-speed transmission type.

[0098] It is understandable that, considering that high-traffic services need to process or transmit massive amounts of data in a short period of time, the port allocation device uses high-speed transmission type ports to handle high-traffic services, avoid communication congestion, and meet business needs.

[0099] S602: When the service to be allocated is a low-traffic service, the port allocation device determines that the port type is a low-speed transmission type.

[0100] It should be explained that, considering that low-traffic services do not need to process or transmit massive amounts of data in a short period of time, and have low requirements for port transmission speed, the port allocation device uses low-speed transmission type ports to process low-traffic services, which can save port resources.

[0101] It is understandable that we do not further limit the order of S601 and S602.

[0102] The above scheme brings at least the following beneficial effects: in the embodiment of the present application, when the business to be allocated is a high-traffic business, the port allocation device determines the port type as a high-speed transmission type; when the business to be allocated is a low-traffic business, the port allocation device determines the port type as a low-speed transmission type. In this way, ports can be reasonably allocated to the business to be allocated.

[0103] In one possible implementation, combining Figure 3 ,like Figure 7 As shown, in S303, before the port allocation apparatus determines the number of ports of the port type to be allocated corresponding to the service to be allocated based on the bandwidth requirement of the service to be allocated and the port bandwidth corresponding to the port type, the port allocation apparatus determines the number of target subcards for the service to be allocated. The process of the port allocation apparatus determining the number of target subcards for the service to be allocated can be specifically implemented as follows: S701-S703.

[0104] S701. The port allocation device determines the number of first sub-cards to be configured for the high-traffic service according to the number of users corresponding to the high-traffic service, the average number of sessions of a single user, the user concurrent online rate, and the capability information of a single sub-card.

[0105] In one possible implementation, the port allocation device determines the number of sessions corresponding to the high-traffic service based on the number of users corresponding to the high-traffic service, the average number of sessions per user, the concurrent user rate, and the number of master devices in the BRAS-UP device. The port allocation device determines the number of first subcards to configure for the high-traffic service based on the ratio of the number of sessions corresponding to the high-traffic service to the capability information of a single subcard.

[0106] Optionally, the number of sessions satisfies the following formula: number of sessions = a*m*c / n, where m is the average number of sessions for a single user.

[0107] Optional, m is 1. The capacity information of a single daughter card is 64KB.

[0108] It needs to be explained that if the ratio of the number of sessions corresponding to the high-traffic service to the capability information of a single sub-card according to the port allocation device is an integer, then the number of first sub-cards configured for the high-traffic service is the integer; if the ratio of the number of sessions corresponding to the high-traffic service to the capability information of a single sub-card according to the port allocation device is a decimal, then the number of first sub-cards configured for the high-traffic service is the integer part of the decimal plus one.

[0109] S702: The port allocation device determines the number of second sub-cards to be configured for the low-traffic service according to the number of users corresponding to the low-traffic service, the average number of sessions of a single user, the user concurrent online rate, and the capability information of a single sub-card.

[0110] For example, as shown in Table 3 below, when the BRAS-UP device selects the 1+1 pooling scale, the service type is broadband Internet access service, the number of users is 200,000, the traffic demand of each user for the allocated service is 3 Mbps, the number of service sessions is 170,000, the number of high-traffic service sessions is 170,000, and the number of first sub-cards configured is 3; the service type is voice service, the number of users is 100,000, the traffic demand of each user for the allocated service is 0.1 Mbps, and the number of service sessions is 85,000; the service type is terminal management service, the number of users is 200,000, the traffic demand of each user for the allocated service is 0.1 Mbps, the number of service sessions is 170,000, low-traffic services include voice service and terminal management service, the number of low-traffic service sessions is 255,000, and the number of second sub-cards configured is 4.

[0111] Table 3: Sub-card requirements under 1+1 pooling scale

[0112]

[0113] It can be understood that, in combination with Table 1 and Table 3, the port allocation device configures 7 daughter cards for each BRAS-UP device, with a configuration requirement of 5x100G+3x10G, totaling 530G port capacity.

[0114] It should be noted that if the BRAS-UP device uses a 1+1 pooling scale and does not use the service-agnostic method for port allocation, the following calculation is used: Bandwidth requirement = ∑(Number of users corresponding to the service to be allocated × Traffic demand (Mbps) per user for the service to be allocated) * User concurrent online rate / 1024 = (200,000 * 3 + 100,000 * 0.1 + 200,000 * 0.1) * 0.85 / 1024 = 523 Gbps; Total number of sessions = ∑(Number of service users * Number of sessions) * User concurrent online rate = (20 * 1 + 10 * 1 + 20 * 1) * 0.85 = 42.5; Required number of daughter cards = ROUNDUP(Total number of sessions / Session capacity per daughter card, 0) = 7. Each BRAS-UP device is configured with seven daughter cards, requiring 6 x 100G, for a total of 600G port capacity. Compared with the port allocator, the port allocator can be configured with 70G (600-530) less capacity, reducing port requirements by 11.67%.

[0115] For example, as shown in Table 4 below, when the BRAS-UP device selects the 3+1 pooling scale, the service type is broadband Internet access service, the number of users is 400,000, the traffic demand of a single user for the allocated service is 5 Mbps, the number of service sessions is 110,000, and the number of configured sub-cards is 2; the service type is voice service, the number of users is 200,000, the traffic demand of a single user for the allocated service is 0.3 Mbps, the number of service sessions is 60,000, and the number of configured second sub-cards is 1; the service type is terminal management service, the number of users is 400,000, the traffic demand of a single user for the allocated service is 0.3 Mbps, the number of service sessions is 110,000, and the number of configured sub-cards is 2.

[0116] Table 4: Sub-card requirements under 3+1 pooling scale

[0117]

[0118] It can be understood that, in combination with Table 2 and Table 4, the port allocation device configures 5 daughter cards for each BRAS-UP device, and the configuration requirement is 6x100G+5x10G, with a total port capacity of 650G.

[0119] It should be explained that when the BRAS-UP device selects the 3+1 pooling scale, if the calculation method is not based on service differentiation, the allocated ports are as follows: Bandwidth requirement = ∑(number of users corresponding to the service to be allocated * traffic requirement of a single user for the service to be allocated (Mbps)) * user concurrent online rate / 3 / 1024 = (400,000 * 5 + 200,000 * 0.3 + 400,000 * 0.3)

[0120] *0.85 / 3 / 1024 = 603 Gbps; Total number of sessions = ∑(number of users corresponding to the services to be allocated × number of sessions) * user concurrent online rate / 3 = (40*1+20*1+40*1)*0.85 / 3 = 28. Number of required subcards

[0121] = ROUNDUP(total number of sessions / session capacity of a single daughter card, 0) = 5. Each BRAS-UP device is configured with five daughter cards, requiring 7x100G ports, for a total of 700G. This reduces the port requirement by 50G (700-650) compared to the port distributor, reducing the port requirement by 7.1%.

[0122] S703: The port allocation apparatus determines the number of target sub-cards to be allocated services according to the configured number of the first sub-card and the configured number of the second sub-card.

[0123] The target sub-card is used to carry a port of a port type allocated corresponding to the service to be allocated.

[0124] It's important to note that a BRAS-UP device includes multiple daughter cards, each with multiple slots. Each slot can accommodate at least one high-speed port and at least one low-speed port. A daughter card (such as an Ethernet daughter card) handles the physical interface connections on the user side. The number of ports and speed directly impact the number of users the device can support.

[0125] The above scheme brings at least the following beneficial effects: In the embodiment of the present application, the port allocation device determines the number of sub-cards to be configured for the service to be allocated based on the number of users corresponding to the service to be allocated and the average number of sessions of a single user, the user concurrent online rate, and the capability information of a single sub-card, so that the sub-cards can be reasonably configured for the service to be allocated.

[0126] In one possible implementation, combining Figure 7 ,like Figure 8 As shown, in S303, the process in which the port allocation device determines the number of ports of the port type allocated corresponding to the service to be allocated based on the bandwidth requirement of the service to be allocated and the port bandwidth corresponding to the port type can be specifically implemented through the following S801.

[0127] S801: A port allocating apparatus selects at least one port from each target sub-card as a port of a port type allocated corresponding to a service to be allocated.

[0128] The number of ports of the port type allocated corresponding to the service to be allocated is greater than the number of target sub-cards.

[0129] Exemplarily, it is determined that the number of ports of the port type assigned corresponding to the business to be assigned is 5, the target sub-cards include sub-card A, sub-card B and sub-card C, and the port allocation device determines to select 2 ports from sub-card A, 1 port from sub-card B, and 2 ports from sub-card C as the ports of the port type assigned corresponding to the business to be assigned.

[0130] The above scheme brings at least the following beneficial effects: In the embodiment of the present application, the port allocation device selects at least one port from each sub-card in the target sub-card as the port of the port type corresponding to the service to be allocated. In this way, not only the port requirements of the service to be allocated can be met, but also the sub-card requirements of the service to be allocated can be met.

[0131] In the embodiments of the present application, the port allocation device can be divided into functional modules or functional units according to the above-mentioned method examples. For example, each functional module or functional unit can be divided according to each function, or two or more functions can be integrated into a processing module.
