Abstract
A method and an apparatus for managing a data transmission channel includes obtaining a delay of data transmitted on a first channel and a continuity parameter of the first channel, and a delay of data transmitted on a second channel and a continuity parameter of the second channel; detecting whether a fault event occurs on the first channel; and switching a working channel of a source provider edge (PE) and a sink PE to the second channel when the fault event occurs on the first channel.
Claims20
A method for managing data transmission in a network, comprising:
- separately coupling a source provider edge (PE) to a sink PE using a first channel and a second channel, where a current working channel of the source PE and the sink PE to exchange service data is the first channel, and where a current non-working channel coupled between the source PE and the sink PE is the second channel;
- obtaining each of a delay of data transmitted on the first channel and a continuity parameter of the first channel, where the continuity parameter indicates a quantity of continuity check messages that are lost consecutively;
- and
- switching the working channel of the source PE and the sink PE to the second channel when a fault event occurs on the first channel, where a fault event on the first channel comprises at least one of a continuity parameter of the first channel is greater than a preset threshold, a delay of data transmitted on the first channel is greater than a preset delay threshold, a jitter value of the data transmitted on the first channel is greater than a preset jitter value threshold, or a bit error rate of the first channel is greater than a preset bit error rate threshold.
A device for managing data transmission in a network, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- an interface coupled to the processor and configured to:
- obtain a delay of data transmitted on a first channel between a first device and a second device;
- and
- obtain a continuity parameter of the first channel, where the continuity parameter indicates a quantity of continuity check messages that are lost consecutively, where the processor is configured to switch data transmitted on the first channel to a second channel between the first device and the second device when a fault event occurs on the first channel, and where a fault event that occurs on the first channel comprises at least one of a continuity parameter of the first channel is greater than a preset threshold, a delay of data transmitted on the first channel is greater than a preset delay threshold, a jitter value of the data transmitted on the first channel is greater than a preset jitter value threshold, or a bit error rate of the first channel is greater than a preset bit error rate threshold.
A transmission network, comprising:
- a first device in a network;
- and
- a second device coupled to the first device, where the second device comprises:
- a processor;
- and
- an interface coupled to the processor and configured to:
- obtain a delay of data transmitted on a first channel between the first device and the second device;
- and
- obtain a continuity parameter of the first channel, where the continuity parameter indicates a quantity of continuity check messages that are lost consecutively, where the processor is configured to switch data transmitted on the first channel to a second channel between the first device and the second device when a fault event occurs on the first channel, and where a fault event that occurs on the first channel comprises that at least one of a continuity parameter of the first channel is greater than a preset threshold, that a delay of data transmitted on the first channel is greater than a preset delay threshold, that a jitter value of the data transmitted on the first channel is greater than a preset jitter value threshold, or that a bit error rate of the first channel is greater than a preset bit error rate threshold.
A non-transitory computer readable medium including at least computer program code stored therein for managing transmission in a network on a device associated with a computer where when executed on a processor, the computer readable medium causes the computer to:
- obtain a delay of data transmitted on a first channel between a first device and a second device;
- obtain a continuity parameter of the first channel, where the continuity parameter indicates a quantity of continuity check messages that are lost consecutively;
- and
- switch data transmitted on the first channel to a second channel between the first device and the second device when a fault event occurs on the first channel, where a fault event that occurs on the first channel comprises at least one of a continuity parameter of the first channel is greater than a preset threshold, a delay of data transmitted on the first channel is greater than a preset delay threshold, a jitter value of the data transmitted on the first channel is greater than a preset jitter value threshold, or a bit error rate of the first channel is greater than a preset bit error rate threshold.
