Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of automatic activation of deterministic network services, and particularly relates to a method, apparatus, medium and device for automatic activation of deterministic network services. Background Technology

[0002] The statements in this section are merely background information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] Deterministic networks provide deterministic services such as guaranteed bandwidth and deterministic latency for data transmission, characterized by low latency, low jitter, zero packet loss, high bandwidth, and high reliability. Traditional networks can be activated primarily by configuring VLANs, routes, and ports; however, deterministic networks require configuring the device's Point of Presence (PoP), device information, port information, and site information. Based on this information, the VPN tunnel type (e.g., SR-MPLS, SRv6, DIP), topology type (ANY-TO-ANY, HUB=SPOKE, etc.), and other factors are then selected to activate services. Therefore, configuring and activating services in deterministic networks is more complex than in traditional networks.

[0004] Currently, deterministic network controllers have been developed to configure and activate services in deterministic networks. However, the configuration of deterministic network services using deterministic network controllers requires professional maintenance, which demands high levels of expertise and a single, specific skill level from personnel. General business personnel often lack the expertise to use deterministic network controllers, requiring professional assistance to activate services. This results in a cumbersome activation process that requires multiple personnel and is inefficient. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a method, apparatus, medium, and device for automatically activating deterministic network services. This allows authorized personnel to directly activate services based on projects without the need for assistance from professional technicians. This simplifies the service activation process, saves human resources, and improves the efficiency of deterministic network service activation.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: The first aspect of the present invention provides a method for automatically activating deterministic network services.

[0007] In one or more embodiments, a method for automatically enabling deterministic network services is provided, including: Receive information related to deterministic network service requirements; the information related to deterministic network service requirements includes service name, deterministic network source / destination location, deterministic network bandwidth, and deterministic network type; The network resources to be allocated are compared with the idle network resources to determine whether the idle network resources meet the current deterministic network service requirements. When idle network resources meet the current deterministic network service requirements, the deterministic network service activation process is executed according to the relevant information of the deterministic network service requirements; and after the deterministic network service activation process is completed, it is determined whether the underlying deterministic network environment required by the deterministic network service is normal. If it is normal, the deterministic network service activation is completed. When idle network resources cannot meet the current deterministic network service requirements, a network resource construction warning message is issued.

[0008] As one implementation method, after the deterministic network service activation process is completed, the underlying deterministic network environment required by the deterministic network service is determined to be normal by sending set test data to the communication chain associated with the deterministic network service and judging whether the test data is received normally.

[0009] As one implementation method, when the network resources to be allocated are less than the idle network resources, it is determined that the idle network resources do not meet the current deterministic network service requirements; when the network resources to be allocated are greater than or equal to the idle network resources, it is determined that the idle network resources meet the current deterministic network service requirements.

[0010] As one implementation method, when idle network resources do not meet the current deterministic network service requirements, and during the construction of network resources, the network resource construction is judged to be complete based on the fact that the current idle network resources are greater than or equal to the network resources to be allocated.

[0011] A second aspect of the present invention provides a deterministic network service automatic activation device.

[0012] In one or more embodiments, a deterministic network service automatic activation device includes: The service requirement information receiving module is used to receive information related to deterministic network service requirements; the information related to deterministic network service requirements includes service name, deterministic network source / destination location, deterministic network bandwidth, and deterministic network type; The deterministic network service automatic activation module is used to compare the network resources to be allocated with the idle network resources to determine whether the idle network resources meet the current deterministic network service requirements. When idle network resources meet the current deterministic network service requirements, the deterministic network service activation process is executed according to the relevant information of the deterministic network service requirements; and after the deterministic network service activation process is completed, it is determined whether the underlying deterministic network environment required by the deterministic network service is normal. If it is normal, the deterministic network service activation is completed. When idle network resources cannot meet the current deterministic network service requirements, a network resource construction warning message is issued.

[0013] In one implementation, in the deterministic network service automatic activation module, after the deterministic network service activation process is completed, the underlying deterministic network environment required by the deterministic network service is determined to be normal by sending set test data to the communication chain associated with the deterministic network service to determine whether the test data is received normally.

[0014] In one implementation, in the deterministic network service automatic activation module, when the network resources to be allocated are less than the available network resources, it is determined that the available network resources do not meet the current deterministic network service requirements; when the network resources to be allocated are greater than or equal to the available network resources, it is determined that the available network resources meet the current deterministic network service requirements.

[0015] As one implementation method, in the deterministic network service automatic activation module, when the idle network resources do not meet the current deterministic network service requirements, and during the construction of network resources, the network resource construction is determined to be complete based on the fact that the current idle network resources are greater than or equal to the network resources to be allocated.

[0016] A third aspect of the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium.

[0017] A computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the deterministic network service automatic activation method described above.

[0018] A fourth aspect of the present invention provides an electronic device.

[0019] An electronic device includes a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the program to implement the steps of the deterministic network service automatic activation method described above.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: This invention utilizes a comparison structure between unallocated network resources and idle network resources to determine whether idle network resources meet the current deterministic network service requirements. When idle network resources meet the current deterministic network service requirements, the deterministic network service activation process is executed according to the relevant information of the deterministic network service requirements. Moreover, the deterministic network service activation is completed after the underlying deterministic network environment required by the deterministic network service is normal. When idle network resources do not meet the current deterministic network service requirements, a network resource construction warning message is issued. This simplifies the service activation process, reduces unnecessary intermediate environments, and greatly improves the deterministic network service activation time. It breaks down professional technical operation barriers, making it convenient for business personnel without technical expertise to directly operate and activate services. It frees up professional technical personnel to devote their energy to more specialized work. At the same time, it saves personnel, streamlines work, and greatly reduces costs.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] It should be noted that the following detailed description is illustrative and intended to provide further explanation of the invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0025] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of exemplary embodiments according to the invention. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0026] Terminology Explanation: Meanwhile, the overall architecture of a computing power platform can be divided into multiple layers, typically including an infrastructure layer, a resource management layer, a service layer, and an application layer. Each layer undertakes different functions and roles, together constructing a complete computing power service system.

[0027] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a deterministic network service automatic activation method according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 The deterministic network service automatic activation method shown in this embodiment may include: S100: Receive information related to deterministic network service requirements; the information related to deterministic network service requirements includes service name, deterministic network source / destination location, deterministic network bandwidth, and deterministic network type.

[0028] S200: Compare the network resources to be allocated with the idle network resources to determine whether the idle network resources meet the current deterministic network service requirements; When idle network resources meet the current deterministic network service requirements, the deterministic network service activation process is executed according to the relevant information of the deterministic network service requirements; and after the deterministic network service activation process is completed, it is determined whether the underlying deterministic network environment required by the deterministic network service is normal. If it is normal, the deterministic network service activation is completed. When idle network resources cannot meet the current deterministic network service requirements, a network resource construction warning message is issued.

[0029] Specifically, the process of enabling deterministic network services includes creating virtual links and configuring QoS policies (such as configuring LSPs in MPLS to classify, label, and schedule traffic).

[0030] In the specific implementation of step S200, when the network resources to be allocated are less than the idle network resources, it is determined that the idle network resources do not meet the current deterministic network service requirements; when the network resources to be allocated are greater than or equal to the idle network resources, it is determined that the idle network resources meet the current deterministic network service requirements.

[0031] In some alternative embodiments, network performance metrics can be tested by simulating or using actual service traffic to ensure that service requirements are met. For example, commands such as ping, traceroute, and nslookup can be used to test network connectivity and latency.

[0032] Once the deterministic network service activation process is completed, the underlying deterministic network environment required by the deterministic network service is determined to be normal by sending test data to the communication chain associated with the deterministic network service and checking whether the test data is received normally.

[0033] In the specific implementation process, when idle network resources do not meet the current deterministic network service requirements, and during the construction of network resources, the completion of network resource construction is determined by whether the current idle network resources are greater than or equal to the network resources to be allocated.

[0034] In one or more embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, a deterministic network service automatic activation device includes: The service requirement information receiving module 301 is used to receive information related to deterministic network service requirements; the information related to deterministic network service requirements includes service name, deterministic network source / destination location, deterministic network bandwidth, and deterministic network type; The deterministic network service automatic activation module 302 is used to compare the network resources to be allocated with the idle network resources to determine whether the idle network resources meet the current deterministic network service requirements. When idle network resources meet the current deterministic network service requirements, the deterministic network service activation process is executed according to the relevant information of the deterministic network service requirements; and after the deterministic network service activation process is completed, it is determined whether the underlying deterministic network environment required by the deterministic network service is normal. If it is normal, the deterministic network service activation is completed. When idle network resources cannot meet the current deterministic network service requirements, a network resource construction warning message is issued.

[0035] Specifically, in the deterministic network service automatic activation module, after the deterministic network service activation process is completed, the underlying deterministic network environment required by the deterministic network service is determined to be normal by sending set test data to the communication chain associated with the deterministic network service to determine whether the test data is received normally.

[0036] In the deterministic network service automatic activation module, when the network resources to be allocated are less than the available network resources, it is determined that the available network resources do not meet the current deterministic network service requirements; when the network resources to be allocated are greater than or equal to the available network resources, it is determined that the available network resources meet the current deterministic network service requirements.

[0037] In the deterministic network service automatic activation module, when the idle network resources do not meet the current deterministic network service requirements, and during the network resource construction process, the network resource construction is determined to be complete based on the fact that the current idle network resources are greater than or equal to the network resources to be allocated.

[0038] It should be noted that each module in this embodiment corresponds one-to-one with each step in Embodiment 1, and their specific implementation process is the same, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0039] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the overall architecture is divided into three layers: the top layer is the service activation tool, the middle layer is the deterministic network controller, and the bottom layer is the deterministic network devices. By developing the southbound interface of the service activation tool and connecting it with the northbound interface of the deterministic network controller, the channel for command issuance and data upload is established, thereby enabling interoperability between the service activation tool and the resources of the deterministic network devices.
