Method for transmitting service stream in flexible ethernet and apparatus
摘要
說明書
Optionally, in an embodiment, the management channel is a management channel of the physical connection group, the multiple physical connections in the physical connection group share the management channel of the physical connection group, and content of the timeslot configuration tables used by the multiple physical connections is transmitted by using the management channel of the physical connection group.
Specifically, alternatively, the management channel of the physical connection group may be referred to as a management channel aggregated (or cascaded) with multiple physical connections. That is, one management channel is used to transmit related information of all physical connections in a whole physical connection group.
It should be noted that, the identifier and the transmission manner of the timeslot configuration table are used as examples for description in the following. A configuration table of the physical connection group may also be transmitted in a similar manner. For example, content of the configuration table of the physical connection group is transmitted over the management channel, and an identifier of the configuration table of the physical connection group is transmitted by using a field specially defined in the overhead area. The management channel used to transmit the configuration table of the physical connection group may be a management channel corresponding to each physical connection, or may be a management channel corresponding to the physical connection group. In addition, the management channel may be used to transmit the content of the configuration table of the physical connection group based on a protocol packet, and be used to negotiate and update the configuration table based on the protocol packet. Details are not described in this embodiment of the present invention again.
