Abstract
A bit index explicit replication (BIER) operations, administration, and maintenance (OAM) detection method includes a bit forwarding ingress router (BFIR) obtaining a detection request packet based on a first BIER OAM packet, and sending the detection request packet to at least one bit forwarding egress router BFER. The detection request packet includes a first packet and a first packet header. The first packet is a packet obtained by encapsulating the first BIER OAM packet. The first packet header includes a bit string, and the bit string indicates the at least one bit forwarding egress router BFER that is to be measured.
Claims20
A bit index explicit replication (BIER) operations, administration, and maintenance (OAM) detection method implemented by a bit forwarding ingress router (BFIR), wherein the BIER OAM detection method comprises:
- obtaining, based on a first BIER OAM packet, a detection request packet, wherein the detection request packet comprises a first packet and a first packet header, wherein the first packet is based on encapsulation of a the first BIER OAM packet, wherein the first packet header comprises a bit string, and wherein the bit string indicates a bit forwarding egress router (BFER) that is to be measured;
- and
- sending the detection request packet to the BFER.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to:
- obtain, based on a first bit index explicit replication (BIER) operations, administration, and maintenance (OAM) packet, a detection request packet, packet wherein the detection request packet comprises a first packet and a first packet header, wherein the first packet is based on encapsulation of a the first BIER OAM packet, wherein the first packet header comprises a bit string, and wherein the bit string indicates a bit forwarding egress router (BFER) that is to be measured;
- and
- send the detection request packet to the BFER.
A computer program product comprising instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium that, when executed by a processor, cause an apparatus to:
- obtain, based on a first bit index explicit replication (BIER) operations, administration, and maintenance (OAM) packet, a detection request packet, wherein the detection request packet comprises a first packet and a first packet header, wherein the first packet is based on encapsulation of the first BIER OAM packet, wherein the first packet header comprises a bit string, and wherein the bit string indicates a bit forwarding egress router (BFER) that is to be measured;
- and
- send the detection request packet to the BFER.
