Abstract:
The present disclosure discloses example communication method and apparatus. One example method includes a first network device receiving first state information from at least one second network device, where the first state information indicates whether the at least one second network device is capable of providing a service in a next state. Third state information of the at least one second network device is received, where the third state information indicates a current state of the at least one second network device and includes user state information corresponding to at least a portion of a plurality of beamforming weight directions of the at least one second network device. A network topology is determined based on at least the first state information and the third state information, and after the first network device and the at least one second network device in a next state are networked.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, an apparatus, and a system for detecting a multi-protocol label switching ring network. The method includes: initiating, by a ring ingress node, a detection request packet; determining a ring label switched path LSP forwarding equivalence class FEC corresponding to the detection request packet, and encapsulating the ring LSP FEC into the detection request packet; sending the detection request packet after encapsulation to a ring egress node; and determining whether a detection reply packet sent by the ring egress node is received; if yes, determining that the ring LSP is connected; otherwise, determining that the ring LSP is not connected. Therefore, the embodiments of the present invention are able to directly detect connectivity of a ring LSP, solving the problem in the prior art where an interference exists during detection of the ring LSP connectivity.
