Description

A kind of device and method of real-time recovering service

Technical field

The present invention relates to network communications technology field, relate in particular to a kind of device and method of real-time recovering service.

Background technology

In existing network system, when the primary route device breaks down,, guarantee the continuity and the reliability of communication in order to recover professional as soon as possible, adopt the handover operation between VRRP (Virtual Router Redundacy Protocol) the agreement realization active and standby router more.This agreement has guaranteed when the next hop router of main frame breaks down, and can be replaced by another router that is in Status of Backups timely, thereby when equipment breaks down, automatically recover professional as early as possible.

The operation principle of this VRRP agreement is: the collaborative work of one group of VRRP router constitutes a virtual router jointly.This virtual router externally shows as a router logic with unique fixed ip address and MAC Address.Be in the role that router in the same VRRP group has two kinds of mutual exclusions: primary route device and standby router, there is and has only a router that is in primary role in the VRRP group, can there be one or more to be in backup role's router.The VRRP agreement uses competitive strategy to select one as main usefulness from groups of routers, is responsible for arp response and transmits the IP packet, and other router in the VRRP group is ready as the role of backup.When the primary route device breaks down for a certain reason, backup router can several seconds the time delay and upgrade to the primary route device.

A VRRP groups of routers has unique sign: VRID, and scope is 0-255.This router externally shows as unique virtual mac address, and the form of address is 00-00-5E-00-01-[VRID].

VRRP timed sending control message carries out fault detect, and VRRP control message has only a kind of: VRRP announces (advertisement).It uses the ip multicast packet to encapsulate, and group address is 224.0.0.18, and the scope of release is only limited in the same local area network (LAN).This has guaranteed that VRID can reuse in heterogeneous networks.Just have only the primary route device can periodically send the VRRP notification packet in order to reduce network bandwidth consumption.Backup router can not receive VRRP or receives that priority is to start new one after 0 the announcement to take turns the VRRP election in continuous three announcements at interval.

This VRRP can compatible multiple network technology and link-layer technologies, has obtained extensive use in VPN (Virtual Private Network), traffic engineering, QoS fields such as (service quality) at present.

The subject matter that solves as a kind of VRRP of protocol for error tolerance is to realize the automated back-up and the switching of a plurality of outlets, as shown in Figure 1, at host computer side default router is set usually, and next is jumped and points to a router, thereby realizes communicating by letter of main frame and outside.

Traditional VRRP adopts the mode of timed sending HELLO message to carry out fault detect, the default transmission VRRP protocol massages time interval is 1 second, when standby router is continuous when not receiving the HELLO message of primary route device for 3 times, ownly initiatively become the main active and standby switching that realizes.Because the minimum time granularity of HELLO message is 1 second usually, so at least 3 seconds could be by standby router perception link failure state, this convergence time of real time business for the quick perception link failure of needs state is oversize, the transmission of VRRP protocol massages is to handle at control plane simultaneously, therefore adopt the method for dwindling the VRRP packet sending intervals simply, waste a large amount of system resource on the one hand, can not guarantee in distributed system that on the other hand VRRP restrains, and can not satisfy the requirement of real time communication far away in 50ms.

In order to guarantee to use the network of VRRP agreement after primary route device fault, it is main that standby router becomes fast, so that professional fast quick-recovery guarantees that speech business is uninterrupted, the fault that needs a kind of method of employing that the quick perception of router of Status of Backups is occurred, and informing VRRP protocol module.
