Method and device for processing communication path

A method for processing a communication path, comprising:

• obtaining a path managing parameter from local configuration information or from a control layer device, obtaining session information and/or a restarting counter parameter from the control layer device;
• determining whether to increase a path with an opposite-end device when the session information is of establishing a session;
• if increasing the path with the opposite-end device, identifying a state of the path and/or a state of the opposite-end device using the path managing parameter and/or the restarting counter parameter replied by the opposite-end device;
• reporting a fault state of the path and/or a reset state of the opposite-end device to the control layer device when the path fails and/or the opposite-end device is reset, releasing all sessions on the failed path and/or on a path connected with the reset opposite-end device.

A device for processing a communication path, comprising:

• a receiver, configured to obtain a path managing parameter from local configuration information or from a control layer device, obtain path information and/or a restarting counter parameter from the control layer device, and send the obtained path managing parameter, path information and/or restarting counter parameter to a processor;
• the processor, configured to receive the path managing parameter, the path information and/or the restarting counter parameter sent by the receiver, increase a path with an opposite-end device when the path information is of increasing a path, identify a state of the path and/or a state of the opposite-end device using the path managing parameter and/or the restarting counter parameter replied by the opposite-end device;
• the processor, further configured to report a fault state of the path and/or a reset state of the opposite-end device to the control layer device when the path fails and/or the opposite-end device is reset, and release all sessions on the failed path and/or on the path connected with the reset opposite-end device;
• a memory, configured to store execution procedure of the processor.
