Abstract
A data sending method includes receiving, by a forwarding device using a first flexible Ethernet (FlexE) group and in multiple timeslots included in a first timeslot set, multiple first encoded data blocks from a physical coding sublayer (PCS), determining, by the forwarding device according to the timeslots included in the first timeslot set and the first FlexE group, a second FlexE group and multiple timeslots included in a second timeslot set, and sending, by the forwarding device, the first encoded data blocks using the second FlexE group and in the timeslots included in the second timeslot set.
Claims20
A data transmitting method, implemented by a forwarding device, comprising:
- receiving a first encoded data block, from a sending device, using a first flexible Ethernet (FlexE) group and in a first timeslot, wherein the first FlexE group comprises at least one first send physical layers (PHYs) and at least one first receive PHYs, wherein the at least one first send PHYs is bonded to the at least one first receive PHYs in the first FlexE group, wherein the forwarding device comprises the at least one first receive PHYs in the first FlexE group, and wherein the forwarding device is a first next-hop device of the sending device;
- and
- sending, to a receiving device based on a mapping relationship between the first timeslot and a second timeslot, the first encoded data block using a second FlexE group and in the second timeslot,
- wherein the second FlexE group comprises at least one second send PHYs and at least one second receive PHYs,
- wherein the at least one second send PHYs is bonded to the at least one second receive PHYs in the second FlexE group,
- wherein the forwarding device comprises the at least one second send PHYs in the second FlexE group, and
- wherein the receiving device is a second next-hop device of the forwarding device.
A forwarding device, comprising:
- a computer-readable storage medium configured to store instructions;
- and
- a processor coupled to the computer-readable storage medium and configured to execute the instructions to cause the forwarding device to:
- receive a first encoded data block, from a sending device, using a first flexible Ethernet (FlexE) group and in a first timeslot, wherein the first FlexE group comprises at least one first send physical layers (PHYs) and at least one first receive PHYs, wherein the at least one first send PHYs is bonded to the at least one first receive PHYs in the first FlexE group, wherein the forwarding device comprises the at least one first receive PHYs in the first FlexE group, and wherein the forwarding device is a first next-hop device of the sending device;
- and
- send, to a receiving device based on a first mapping relationship between the first timeslot and a second timeslot, the first encoded data block using a second FlexE group and in the second timeslot,
- wherein the second FlexE group comprises at least one second send PHYs and at least one second receive PHYs,
- wherein the at least one second send PHYs is bonded to the at least one second receive PHYs in the second FlexE group,
- wherein the forwarding device comprises the at least one second send PHYs in the second FlexE group, and
- wherein the receiving device is a second next-hop device of the forwarding device.
A computer program product comprising instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium that, when executed by a processor, cause a forwarding device to:
- receive a first encoded data block, from a sending device, using a first flexible Ethernet (FlexE) group and in a first timeslot, wherein the first FlexE group comprises at least one first send physical layers (PHYs) and at least one first receive PHYs, wherein the at least one first send PHYs is bonded to the at least one first receive PHYs in the first FlexE group, wherein the forwarding device comprises the at least one first receive PHYs in the first FlexE group, and wherein the forwarding device is a first next-hop device of the sending device;
- and
- send, to a receiving device based on a first mapping relationship between the first timeslot and a second timeslot, the first encoded data block using a second FlexE group and in the second timeslot, wherein the second FlexE group comprises at least one second send PHYs and at least one second receive PHYs, wherein the at least one second send PHYs is bonded to the at least one second receive PHYs in the second FlexE group, wherein the forwarding device comprises the at least one second send PHYs in the second FlexE group, and wherein the receiving device is a second next-hop device of the forwarding device.
