Abstract:
A method for processing a failure of a multi-domain path computation and a Path Computation Element (PCE) are provided. The method for the PCE of a head domain includes: a failed link leading to a failure to compute a path according to a first domain sequence is acquired; the failed link is deleted from a first topology to obtain a second topology; a second domain sequence is determined according to the second topology; and a path computation for the second domain sequence is initiated.
Abstract:
A method and device for long-term storage of cross-domain path information are provided. The method is applied on a stateless PCE. In the method, a first PCE computes a path; a path head node sends, to the first PCE, query information for querying intra-domain path information of the first domain corresponding to a first PATH-KEY, generates, on the basis of a query result returned by the first PCE, a third PATH-KEY having a unique identifier and corresponding to the intra-domain path information of the first domain and stores the third PATH-KEY; the path head node sends, to a head node in a second domain, an inter-domain path establishment signalling comprising the third PATH-KEY and a second PATH-KEY, to make the head node in the second domain send, to a second PCE, query information for querying intra-domain path information of the second domain corresponding to the second PATH-KEY, generate, on the basis of a query result returned by the second PCE, a fourth PATH-KEY having a unique identifier and corresponding to the intra-domain path information of the second domain, and store the fourth PATH-KEY; and, the path head node modifies information of the path from the path head node to the path tail node on the basis of a reverse signalling returned by the path tail node and comprising the third PATH-KEY and the fourth PATH-KEY.
