Method, Device, System for Detecting Data Link, Controller and Gateway

摘要

Disclosed are a method, device, system for detecting a data link, controller, and gateway. The method comprises: an SDN controller sends a GTP request message to a first UGW, and instructs the first UGW to send the GTP request message to another GTP endpoint in a GTP user plane signaling format; the SDN controller receives a GTP response message from the first UGW, and detects a data link between the first UGW and the another GTP endpoint according to the GTP response message, the GTP response message being corresponding to the GTP request message. The disclosure solves the problem in the prior art that logic of a user plane and logic of a control plane are unclear during detection of a data link between GTP endpoints, thereby improving the clarity of the logic of the user plane and the clarity of the logic of the control plane.

1. A method for detecting a data link, comprising:
a Software Defined Network (SDN) controller sending a General Packet Radio Service Tunneling Protocol (GTP) request message to a first Unified Gateway (UGW), and instructing the first UGW to send the GTP request message to another GTP endpoint in a GTP user plane signaling format; and the SDN controller receiving a GTP response message from the first UGW, and detecting the data link between the first UGW and the another GTP endpoint according to the GTP response message, wherein the GTP response message corresponds to the GTP request message.
