Abstract
Provided are a packet transmission method and device and a computer storage medium. The method includes: a FlexE shim receives an Ethernet packet forwarded by a switching module and sent by a processor, the FlexE shim being located between a PHY layer and a MAC layer, and the switching module including a data link layer and a network layer; and the FlexE shim converts the Ethernet packet into a PPP packet, codes the PPP packet, and then inserts the PPP packet into a FlexE overhead of a target FlexE port for transmission.

A packet transmission method, comprising:
- receiving, by a Flexible-Ethernet (FlexE) shim, an Ethernet packet forwarded by a switching module and sent by a processor, the FlexE shim being located between a Physical (PHY) layer and a Media Access Control (MAC) layer, and the switching module comprising a data link layer and a network layer;
- and
- converting, by the FlexE shim, the Ethernet packet into a Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) packet, coding the PPP packet, and then inserting the PPP packet into a FlexE overhead of a target FlexE port for transmission.
A packet transmission method, comprising:
- extracting, by a Flexible-Ethernet (FlexE) shim, data from a FlexE overhead of a target FlexE port, and decoding the data to obtain a Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) packet, the FlexE shim being located between a Physical (PHY) layer and a Media Access Control (MAC) layer;
- and
- converting, by the FlexE shim, the PPP packet into an Ethernet packet, and sending the Ethernet packet to a switching module so that the switching module forwards the Ethernet packet to a processor or a FlexE shim corresponding to a port different from the target FlexE port, the switching module comprising a data link layer and a network layer.
A packet transmission method, comprising:
- extracting, by a Flexible-Ethernet (FlexE) shim, data from a FlexE overhead of a first FlexE port, and decoding the data to obtain a Data Communicate Network (DCN) packet, the FlexE shim being located between a Physical (PHY) layer and a Media Access Control (MAC) layer;
- and
- sending, by the FlexE shim, the DCN packet to a switching module through a first Virtual Ethernet Interface (VEI) so that the switching module forwards the DCN packet to a processor based on a L3 routing table or forwards the DCN packet to the FlexE shim through a second VEI, coding, by the FlexE shim, the DCN packet, and then inserting the DCN packet into a FlexE overhead of a second FlexE port for transmission, the switching module comprising a data link layer and a network layer.
