Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide a method of traffic management in a Multi-Protocol Switching (MPLS) network. The method includes: setting a management tag on the outer layer of service traffic data carried in an MPLS packet when the MPLS packet is sent initially; and upon receiving the MPLS packet, identifying the service traffic data carried in the MPLS packet according to the management tag set in the MPLS packet, and performing traffic management. Systems and MPLS network devices are also disclosed in embodiments of the present invention. Through the embodiments of the present invention, traffic management in an MPLS network can be implemented.
Claims26
A method of traffic management in a Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) network, comprising:
- setting a management tag on the outer layer of service traffic data carried in an MPLS packet when the MPLS packet is sent initially;
- and
- after receiving the MPLS packet, identifying the service traffic data carried in the MPLS packet according to the management tag set in the MPLS packet, and performing traffic management for the service traffic data.
A system of traffic management in an MPLS network, comprising:
- a management tag configuration module, configured for setting a management tag on the outer layer of service traffic data carried in an MPLS packet;
- a traffic identification module, configured for identifying the service traffic data carried in the MPLS packet according to the management tag set in the MPLS packet, and sending an identification result to a traffic management module;
- and
- the traffic management module, configured for receiving the identification result from the traffic identification module and performing traffic management.
A system of traffic management in an MPLS network, comprising:
- a first device, configured for initiating an MPLS packet and setting a management tag on the outer layer of service traffic data carried in the MPLS packet;
- and
- a second device, configured for receiving the MPLS packet from the first device, and identifying the service traffic data carried in the MPLS packet according to the management tag set in the MPLS packet.
A system of traffic management in an MPLS network, comprising:
- an edge device of the MPLS network, configured for initiating an MPLS packet and setting a management tag on the outer layer of service traffic data carried in the MPLS packet;
- and
- a core device of the MPLS network, configured for receiving the MPLS packet from the edge device of the MPLS network, and identifying the service traffic data carried in the MPLS packet according to the management tag set in the MPLS packet.
An MPLS network device, comprising:
- a management tag configuration module, configured for setting a management tag on the outer layer of service traffic data carried in an MPLS packet, and sending out the MPLS packet.
An edge device of an MPLS network, for initiating an MPLS packet, wherein, the device comprises:
- a management tag configuration module, configured for setting a management tag on the outer layer of service traffic data carried in an MPLS packet, and sending out the MPLS packet.
An MPLS network device, comprising:
- a traffic identification module, configured for receiving an MPLS packet and identifying service traffic data carried in the MPLS packet according to a management tag in the MPLS packet.
A core device of an MPLS network device, comprising:
- a traffic identification module, configured for receiving an MPLS packet and identifying service traffic data carried in the MPLS packet according to a management tag in the MPLS packet.
