Abstract: Provided are a method and device for traffic path negotiation in a link aggregation group (LAG). The method includes: an aggregation port acquiring indication information including one or more services or sessions currently being carried by an aggregation port, and determining one or more services or sessions currently being carried by the aggregation port; an aggregation group portal to which the aggregation port belongs distributing traffic according to one or more services or sessions currently being carried by each aggregation port. The technical solution can effectively ensure that the same aggregation link can be selected for a same service on two ends of a LAG, enabling protection of an interconnect interface.

Abstract: Provided are a method and device for negotiating a traffic path in an LAG, wherein the method includes that an aggregation port acquires indication information, wherein the indication information is used for indicating one or more groups of services or sessions needing to be borne by the aggregation ports, each group of the services or sessions includes one or more services or sessions; the aggregation port determines multiple groups of services or sessions to be borne, and/or services or sessions currently being borne by the aggregation port; an aggregation group portal to which the aggregation port belongs, performs traffic distribution according to services or sessions currently being borne by each aggregation port which belongs to the aggregation group portal. It is solved the problem in the related art that the same service or session cannot be transmitted bi-directionally on the same path, thus implementing the protection on the interconnect interface.

Abstract: A method, device and system for implementing bidirectional traffic on the same path in an aggregation group are provided, wherein the method includes that a portal of an LAG receives indication information sent by an opposite end of the LAG, wherein the indication information carries port indexes of the opposite end and/or a traffic distribution method of the opposite end; the portal determines port indexes of the portal and/or traffic distribution method of the portal according to the indication information; the portal distributes traffic according to the determined port indexes and/or traffic distribution method The disclosure solves a technical problem in the prior art that port protection cannot be implemented due to the inability to ensure that traffic of the same service can be transmitted on the same aggregation link, thus effectively ensuring that the same service selects the same aggregation link bi-directionally on two ends of an aggregation group and implementing the technical effect of protection

Abstract: Disclosed are a multicast data forwarding method and device supporting a virtual terminal. The method includes: a bridge forwarding module receiving multicast data sent by an end station and determining output ports; when a certain output port is the same with the input port of the multicast data and the input port has enabled reflective relay function, not carrying Ingress extended channel identifier (Ingress_E-CID) in the forwarded message information or the value of the Ingress_E-CID being zero. By modifying the source port filtering mechanism, the present invention enables a Port Extender (PE) supporting the virtual terminal technology to transmit and receive data normally while multicasting.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for detecting a mismatch fault and a Maintenance Endpoint (MEP). The method includes: determining whether there is a Traffic Engineering Service Instance (TESI) configured in a segment, setting a Present Traffic in Segment (PTS) variable, and setting a value of a PTS field included in a Connectivity Check Message (CCM) sent from a Maintenance Endpoint (MEP); receiving the CCM by the MEP, when the value of the PTS field included in the CCM does not coincide with that of the PTS variable, setting, by the MEP, a first mismatch fault indication variable mmCCMreceived to be set; when the first mismatch fault indication variable mmCCMreceived remains set after a first preset time period expires, detecting that a mismatch fault occurs. The method finds timely the mismatch problem occurred in the segment protection of Provider Backbone Bridging-Traffic Engineering (PBB-TE), thereby preventing data loss and service interruption caused by the occurrence of mismatch.
