Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for locating a fault in a communication network according to an embodiment of the present application, where as shown in fig. 2, the method at least includes S201 to S203.

S201, network flow when data flow flows through each of S switches in the N switches is obtained, wherein S is a positive integer smaller than or equal to N.

The communication network comprises a first end side device, a second end side device and X switches, wherein the first end side device and the second end side device transmit data streams through N switches in the X switches in the communication network, N is a positive integer, and X is a positive integer greater than or equal to N.

More end-side devices may be included in the communication network, the first end-side device and the second end-side device being only any two of the plurality of end-side devices in the communication network. The end-side devices include clients and servers.

The method comprises the steps that network flow when a data flow flows through each of S switches in N switches is obtained, and when S is equal to N, communication flow when the data flow passes through each switch is obtained; when S is smaller than N, it means that only the communication traffic of the partial switch through which the data flow flows is acquired.

There are several possible implementations of obtaining network traffic when a data stream flows through each of S switches of N switches:

in a possible implementation manner, S traffic probes are arranged in the communication network, the S traffic probes correspond to the S switches one to one, each traffic probe in the S traffic probes is used to collect network traffic flowing through a corresponding switch in the S switches, and network traffic when data flows flow through each switch in the S switches can be obtained through the network traffic collected by each traffic probe in the S traffic probes.

Illustratively, the flow probe may be a sniffer (sniffer) probe.

In another possible implementation, network traffic of a data stream flowing through each of S switches in a communication network is collected by a telemetry (telemetric) function of the S switches.

Illustratively, the remote measuring function of each switch in S switches in the communication network is started, and the remote measuring function is used for cooperatively collecting the mutual access traffic between the servers.

In yet another possible implementation, the communication traffic between servers and within servers is collected by a server Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).

Illustratively, the server executes a TCP acquisition script according to a preset period, and randomly reports network traffic of a data stream to an acquirer corresponding to each of the S switches through a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) in a time window.

S202, determining P switches with abnormal network flow of the data flow according to the network flow of the data flow flowing through each switch in the S switches, wherein P is a positive integer less than or equal to S.

The switch with the abnormal network traffic of the data flow refers to a switch corresponding to the network traffic with network faults such as packet loss, time delay and the like in the acquired network traffic.

In a possible implementation manner, network traffic when the data stream flows through each switch in the S switches is detected to obtain network traffic information when the data stream flows through each switch in the S switches, and then the network traffic information when the data stream flows through each switch in the S switches is judged based on a preset network traffic evaluation standard to obtain P switches in the S switches where the network traffic of the data stream is abnormal and network traffic information of each switch in the P switches where the data stream flows, where the network traffic evaluation standard indicates a health value of each index in at least one communication index.

As an example, the network traffic information includes a value of each of the at least one communication metric, and the network traffic evaluation criterion indicates a health value of each of the at least one communication metric. The communication index may include traffic, the number of concurrent connections, the link establishment ratio, the connection non-response rate, the connection failure rate, the link termination ratio, the retransmission rate, the packet loss rate, the time delay, the response time, the response rate, the number of times of the service 0 window, and the like.

As an example, aiming at the multi-source of the acquisition modes and the principle of network faults, 12 indexes of 4 dimensions of service trend, link establishment/link removal, transmission performance and load interaction are screened out and used for establishing a flow health index system, data of each acquisition mode is abstracted and converted according to the health index system so as to shield the difference of different data, and the data acquisition and upper-layer analysis functions are decoupled.

Illustratively, the service trend dimension in the established traffic health index system comprises two indexes of traffic and concurrent connection, the link establishment/link disconnection dimension comprises four indexes of link establishment proportion, connection non-response rate, connection failure rate and link termination proportion, the transmission performance dimension comprises three indexes of retransmission rate, packet loss rate and time delay, and the load interaction dimension comprises three indexes of response time, response rate and service 0 window times.

After a characteristic index system is constructed, the network flow condition can be analyzed by using an intelligent algorithm, the intelligent algorithm forms an evaluation standard for the health condition of the network flow by learning a large amount of monitoring data, and the abnormality of the network flow can be identified with high accuracy by matching with an expert rule; meanwhile, the system can detect the full network flow in real time, find abnormality and output prompt information to help troubleshooting.

Illustratively, an intelligent algorithm is used to analyze a large amount of monitored network traffic data to obtain a network traffic evaluation criterion, which indicates a health value of each index in at least one index in a traffic health index system.

As an example, judging network traffic information when a data flow flows through each switch of S switches based on a preset network traffic evaluation criterion, and obtaining P switches in which the network traffic of the data flow in the S switches is abnormal includes: and comparing an actual value corresponding to each communication index in the network flow information when the data stream flows through each switch in the S switches with a health value corresponding to a corresponding communication index in a preset network flow evaluation standard, and marking the switch corresponding to the network flow information of which the actual value corresponding to the communication index is smaller than the health value corresponding to the communication index in the preset network flow evaluation standard as the switch with abnormal network flow of the data stream.

S203, according to the position of each switch in the P switches in the communication network and the network flow information of the data flow in each switch in the P switches, positioning the network fault in the communication network, wherein the network flow information comprises the value of each index in at least one communication index.

In a possible implementation manner, when P is greater than 2, that is, when the number of switches in which network traffic information is abnormal in switches through which a data stream between a first end-side device and a second end-side device flows is greater than 2, if a first value of a first index in first network traffic information corresponding to a first switch in the P switches is not equal to a second value of a first index in second network traffic information corresponding to a second switch, and the first index is an index in which an abnormality occurs, it is determined that a network fault corresponding to the first index occurs on a transmission path between the first switch and the second switch.

The network fault corresponding to the first index on the transmission path between the first switch and the second switch represents that the network fault corresponding to the first index occurs on one or more communication devices or links on the transmission path, and the transmission path comprises the first switch and the second switch.

In another possible implementation manner, if a third switch of the P switches is a switch closest to the first end-side device among the S switches, it is determined that a network fault corresponding to a second index occurs on a transmission path before the third switch, where the second index is an index in which an abnormality occurs in network traffic information corresponding to the third switch.

The switch closest to the first end-side device indicates a switch closest to the first end-side device on a transmission path of the data stream, and does not indicate a switch closest to the first end-side device in physical distance.

As an example, communication devices through which a data stream flows are a first end-side device, a first switch, a second switch, and a second end-side device in sequence, and when a first value of a first indicator in first network traffic information corresponding to the first switch is 0 and a second value of the first indicator in second network traffic information corresponding to the second switch is 1, it indicates that the data stream generates packet loss when the first switch flows to the second switch; when a first value of a first index in first network traffic information corresponding to a first switch and a second value of the first index in second network traffic information corresponding to a second switch are both 1, indicating that packet loss occurs when a data stream flows from a first end-side device to the first switch; when a first value of a first index in first network traffic information corresponding to the first switch and a second value of the first index in second network traffic information corresponding to the second switch are both 0, and a packet loss situation occurs in the feedback of the second end-side device, it indicates that a packet loss occurs when a data stream flows from the second switch to the second end-side device.

As another example, the communication device through which the data stream flows is a first end-side device, a first switch, a second switch, and a second end-side device in sequence, where the network traffic information includes two indicators, namely, a link establishment delay and a server response delay, when the values of the link establishment delay and the server response delay in the first network traffic information corresponding to the first switch are both 0, and the values of the link establishment delay and the server response delay in the second network traffic information corresponding to the second switch are both 1, it indicates that the data stream is delayed when the first switch flows to the second switch; when the values of the link establishment delay and the server response delay in the first network traffic information corresponding to the first switch are both 1, and the values of the link establishment delay and the server response delay in the second network traffic information corresponding to the second switch are both 1, indicating that a delay occurs when a data stream flows from the first end-side device to the first switch; when the values of the link establishment delay and the server response delay in the first network traffic information corresponding to the first switch are both 0, and the values of the link establishment delay and the server response delay in the second network traffic information corresponding to the second switch are both 0, it indicates that the delay occurs in the second end-side device.

As another example, the data stream flows from the first end-side device to the second end-side device via the multiple switches, but only the third network traffic information of the third switch among the multiple switches is collected, and when the second index is packet loss, if a value of client packet loss in the third network traffic information is 1, it indicates that packet loss occurs when the data stream flows from the first end-side device to the third switch; when the value of the server packet loss in the third network traffic information is 1, which indicates that packet return occurs, packet loss occurs when the data stream flows from the second end-side device to the third switch.

As another example, the data stream flows from the first end-side device to the second end-side device via the plurality of switches, but only the third network traffic information of the third switch among the plurality of switches is collected, and in the case where the second index is delay, when the value of the server response delay in the third network traffic information is 1 and the value of the link establishment delay is 0, it indicates that the delay occurs on the first end-side device side; when the value of the server response delay and the value of the link establishment delay in the third network traffic information are both 1, it indicates that the delay occurs on the second end-side device side.

In another possible implementation manner, the data flow is one of a plurality of network flows in the communication network, and if the failed transmission paths corresponding to all the data flows in the plurality of network flows include the same communication device, it is determined that the same communication device fails.

As an example, when the number of network flows with packet loss in a communication network exceeds a preset threshold in a time window, it indicates that a large number of data flows have concentrated packet loss in a short time, and if transmission paths with packet loss corresponding to all the data flows in the multiple network flows include the same communication device, it is determined that the same communication device has packet loss, where the communication device may include an access switch, a convergence switch, a server, or the like.

According to the technical scheme, the network fault in the communication network is located according to the position of the switch with the abnormal network flow information in the switches through which the data stream flows in the communication network and the network flow information of each switch in the switch with the abnormal network flow information, so that the real-time automatic troubleshooting of the abnormal network fault in the communication network is realized, the efficiency of locating the network fault is improved, the time is saved, and the human resources are saved.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method for locating a fault in a communication network according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 3, the method includes at least S301 to S304.

S301, network flow when data flow flows through each of S switches in the N switches is obtained, wherein S is a positive integer smaller than or equal to N.

It should be noted that S201 may be referred to as S301, and details are not repeated here.

And S302, detecting the network flow when the data flow flows through each switch in the S switches to obtain the network flow information when the data flow flows through each switch in the S switches.

As an example, the network traffic information includes a value of each of at least one communication index, and the communication index may include traffic, a number of concurrent connections, a link establishment ratio, a connection non-response rate, a connection failure rate, a link termination ratio, a retransmission rate, a packet loss rate, a time delay, a response time, a response rate, a service 0 window number, and the like.

It should be noted that, the method for detecting the network traffic of the data stream flowing through the switch to obtain the network traffic information of the data stream flowing through the switch may refer to the existing method for obtaining the network traffic information according to the network traffic, and details are not described here.

And S303, judging the network traffic information when the data flow flows through each switch in the S switches based on a preset network traffic evaluation standard, and obtaining P switches with abnormal network traffic in the S switches and the network traffic information of each switch in the P switches of the data flow, wherein P is a positive integer less than or equal to S.

The switch with the abnormal network traffic of the data flow refers to a switch corresponding to the network traffic with network faults such as packet loss, time delay and the like in the acquired network traffic. The network traffic evaluation criteria indicates a health value for each of the at least one communication metric.

In a possible implementation mode, aiming at the multi-source of the acquisition mode and the principle of network faults, 12 indexes of 4 dimensions of service trend, chain establishment/chain removal, transmission performance and load interaction are screened out and used for establishing a flow health index system, data of each acquisition mode is abstracted and converted according to the health index system so as to shield the difference of different data, and the data acquisition and upper layer analysis functions are decoupled.
