Abstract
A method for collecting bit error information is provided. According to the method, a head node may encapsulate indication information into an IPv6 extension header of an IPv6 measurement request packet. The indication information indicates at least one intermediate node on a transmission path of the IPv6 measurement request packet to record bit error information into the IPv6 extension header. According to the application, the bit error information of the intermediate node on the transmission path can be collected.
Claims21
A communication apparatus, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors,
- wherein the memory is configured to store program code, and
- the one or more processors are configured to execute instructions in the program code, to enable the communication apparatus to:
- receive a first Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) measurement request packet, wherein the first IPv6 measurement request packet includes second indication information, the second indication information indicates a tail node on a transmission path of the first IPv6 measurement request packet to include bit error information of at least one intermediate node on the transmission path in a measurement response packet, and the at least one intermediate node comprises a first intermediate node;
- record bit error information of the first intermediate node into an IPv6 extension header of the first IPv6 measurement request packet, to obtain a second IPv6 measurement request packet;
- and
- forward the second IPv6 measurement request packet.
A communication apparatus, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors,
- wherein the memory is configured to store program code, and
- the one or more processors are configured to execute instructions in the program code, to enable the communication apparatus to:
- receive an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) measurement request packet, wherein an IPv6 extension header of the IPv6 measurement request packet records bit error information of at least one intermediate node on a transmission path of the IPv6 measurement request packet, and wherein the IPv6 measurement request packet includes an indication information that indicates the communication apparatus to include the bit error information of the at least one intermediate node on the transmission path in an IPv6 measurement response packet;
- and
- send the IPv6 measurement response packet to a head node on the transmission path, wherein the IPv6 measurement response packet comprises the bit error information of the at least one intermediate node.
