Abstract
A link group configuration method includes obtaining first status information of M links between a source end device and a receive end device, where the first status information indicates a status of a differential delay between any two of the M links, obtaining first capability information of the receive end device, where the first capability information indicates a first capability of performing differential delay compensation on the M links by the receive end device, grouping N of the M links into a first link group based on the first status information and the first capability information, and sending first configuration information to a second device, where the first configuration information includes information used to indicate the first link group.
Claims20
A link group configuration method, implemented by a first device comprising:
- obtaining first status information of M links between a source end device and a receive end device, wherein the first status information indicates a status of a differential delay between two links of the M links, wherein each of the M links is either a flexible Ethernet (FlexE) physical connection link or a flexible optical transport network (FlexO) physical connection link, and wherein M is an integer greater than or equal to two;
- obtaining first capability information of the receive end device, wherein the first capability information indicates a first capability of performing differential delay compensation on the M links by the receive end device;
- grouping N links of the M links into a first link group based on the first status information and the first capability information, wherein N is an integer less than or equal to M and greater than or equal to two;
- and
- sending first configuration information to a second device, wherein the first configuration information comprises information indicating the first link group.
A first device comprising:
- a receiver configured to:
- obtain first status information of M links between a source end device and a receive end device, wherein the first status information indicates a status of a differential delay between two of the M links, wherein each of the M links is either a flexible Ethernet (FlexE) physical connection link or a flexible optical transport network (FlexO) physical connection link, and wherein M is an integer greater than or equal to two;
- and
- obtain first capability information of the receive end device, wherein the first capability information indicates a first capability of performing differential delay compensation on the M links by the receive end device;
- a processor coupled to the receiver and configured to group N links of the M links into a first link group based on the first status information and the first capability information, wherein N is an integer less than or equal to M and greater than or equal to two;
- and
- a transmitter coupled to the processor and configured to send first configuration information to a second device, wherein the first configuration information comprises information indicating the first link group.
