SERVICE EXECUTION METHOD AND APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17959005 titled 'SERVICE EXECUTION METHOD AND APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method and apparatus for executing services in a communication network using segment routing. The method involves generating a packet with a segment routing header (SRH) that includes a service identifier related to specific service information. The packet is then sent to a second network device, which uses the service identifier to execute the appropriate services based on the service information and the packet.
- The method involves generating a packet with a segment routing header (SRH) that includes a service identifier.
- The service identifier is related to specific service information.
- The packet is sent to a second network device, which uses the service identifier to execute the appropriate services based on the service information and the packet.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Service execution in communication networks using segment routing.
- Providing network services for actual service packets in an SRv6 network.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Resolving the issue of not being able to provide network services for actual service packets in an SRv6 network.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enables the execution of network services based on specific service information.
- Resolves the problem of not being able to provide network services in an SRv6 network.
Original Abstract Submitted
A service execution method and apparatus, a system, and a storage medium related to the communications field are provided. The method includes: a first network device generates a first packet, where the first packet includes a segment routing header (SRH), the SRH includes a service identifier, and the service identifier is related to first service information and second service information. The first network device sends the first packet to a second network device, wherein the service identifier indicates the second network device to execute at least one service based on the first service information, the second service information, and the first packet. According to this application, a problem that a network service cannot be provided for an actual service packet in an SRv6 network can be resolved.
