Method for configuring performance measurement indication information and related device

A method for configuring performance measurement indication information, applied to any forwarding node in a communication network comprising a plurality of forwarding nodes and a control node, the plurality of forwarding nodes is located in different autonomous systems ASs, the method comprising:

• receiving, by the forwarding node, a first advertisement packet sent by the control node in the communication network based on a border gateway protocol (BGP), wherein the first advertisement packet carries the performance measurement indication information, and the performance measurement indication information is used to indicate a data flow on which performance measurement is to be performed and one or more target measurement modes for performing performance measurement on the data flow;
• and
• configuring, by the forwarding node, the performance measurement indication information on the forwarding node,
• wherein the first advertisement packet is a border gateway protocol flow specification (BGP FS) packet comprising network layer reachability information and action indication information;
• and
• the network layer reachability information carries first indication information, the first indication information is used to indicate the data flow, the action indication information carries second indication information, and the second indication information is used to indicate the one or more target measurement modes.

A control node in a communication network, wherein the communication network comprises a plurality of forwarding nodes located in different autonomous systems Ass, and the control node comprises:

• at least one processor;
• and
• one or more memories coupled to the at least one processor and configured to store instructions for execution by the at least one processor, the instructions instruct the at least one processor to cause the control node to:
• determine performance measurement indication information, wherein the performance measurement indication information is used to indicate a data flow on which performance measurement is to be performed and one or more target measurement modes for performing performance measurement on the data flow;
• and
• send a first advertisement packet in the communication network based on a border gateway protocol (BGP), wherein the first advertisement packet carries the performance measurement indication information, so that the plurality of forwarding nodes configures the performance measurement indication information on the plurality of forwarding nodes,
• wherein the first advertisement packet is a border gateway protocol flow specification (BGP FS) packet comprising network layer reachability information and action indication information;
• and
• the network layer reachability information carries first indication information, the first indication information is used to indicate the data flow, the action indication information carries second indication information, and the second indication information is used to indicate the one or more target measurement modes.

A forwarding node in a communication network comprising a plurality of forwarding nodes and a control node, the plurality of forwarding nodes located in different autonomous systems ASs, and any one of the plurality of forwarding nodes comprises:

• at least one processor;
• and
• one or more memories coupled to the at least one processor and configured to store instructions for execution by the at least one processor, the instructions instruct the at least one processor to cause the forwarding node to:
• receive a first advertisement packet that is sent in the communication network by the control node based on a border gateway protocol (BGP), wherein the first advertisement packet carries performance measurement indication information, and the performance measurement indication information is used to indicate a data flow on which performance measurement is to be performed and one or more target measurement modes for performing performance measurement on the data flow;
• and
• configure the performance measurement indication information on the configuration module,
• wherein the first advertisement packet is a border gateway protocol flow specification (BGP FS) packet comprising network layer reachability information and action indication information;
• and
• the network layer reachability information carries first indication information, the first indication information is used to indicate the data flow, the action indication information carries second indication information, and the second indication information is used to indicate the one or more target measurement modes.
