Description

OpenFlow signaling control method and device
Technical field
The present invention relates to the communications field, in particular to a kind of OpenFlow signaling control method and device.
Background technology
Stanford Univ USA proposed OpenFlow agreement in 2008, this agreement adopts and forwards/control separation architecture, external chain of command entity adopts OpenFlow protocol integrated test system to forward face equipment and realizes various forwarding logic, and the major function forwarding face equipment is exactly perform controlled forwarding according to the stream table that OpenFlow controller issues, its behavior is standardized: receive a message, take out its head L2/L3/L4 related words segment value, using it as keyword search stream table, after matching a list item, according to the instruction set in contents in table, message field (MFLD) is processed, after be forwarded to a certain logic OR physical port according to instruction.The further evolution of this agreement thought, be called SDN(Software Defined Network, software defined network technology), namely software programming can be adopted to realize the network application of various complexity at chain of command, and forward face equipment without the need to any change, because chain of command adopts generic server+general-purpose operating system, and general software programming instrument can be used, the scripting programming language that Python also can be used such realizes, this makes the support of new procotol become very simple, and new technology deployment cycle shortens greatly.
According to ONF(Open Networking Foundation, open network foundation) the OpenFlow agreement of normal structure definition describes, OpenFlow comprises the message of three types: Controller-to-Switch(controller is to switch) message, Asynchronous(be asynchronous) message, Symmetric(symmetry) message.Wherein, Controller-to-Switch message is Controller(controller) to Switch(switch) message that sends, optional exist response message.Asynchronous message is the message that Switch sends to Controller, for reporting the port status of Switch, error message, the signaling that cannot process or data etc.Symmetric message can be sent arbitrarily by both Controller or Switch, is mainly used for protecting link or test link.In actual application, because the network architecture chain of command based on OpenFlow agreement is thoroughly separated with forwarding face, forwarding face only possesses simple chain of command function, so just need the disposal ability of chain of command Controller very powerful, the mistake occurred for forwarding face and the control signal that can not identify or data all need to resolve by Packet in message being delivered to Controller, and then by Controller to forwarding face equipment UGW(universal gateway) issue process and operate.The situation of hackers attack, a large amount of dissimilar downstream data flows is there is in network application, for the operation that current OpenFlow agreement specifies, although the data execution that cannot mate can be arranged abandon operation, prevent unknown data or signaling to the impact of Controller with this, but for arriving the validated user data of Switch, frequently Packet in message is sent the hydraulic performance decline that Controller also can be brought unnecessary.
Fig. 1 is the EPC ICQ flow chart based on OpenFlow agreement according to correlation technique, as shown in Figure 1, for SDNEPC(mobile core network) practical problem that occurs in network is described:
Step 1, user face passage when user is in the free time, Switch not having user descending, when downstream data flow 1 arrives, according to the processing mode of Switch, for the data of not mating stream table carry out buffer memory and on send the Packet in operation of message trigger Controller.
Step 2, UGW send Packet in message.
Step 3, according to the packets headers information of Packet in, Controller can know which user's downlink data arrives, send the downlink data notification message of GTP-C to MME.
Step 4, MME starts the paging to user.
Step 5, when the unmodified stream table of Controller, when the downstream data flow 2 of user arrives, according to the operation of UGW configuration, the stream table cache do not mated for same subscriber also sends Packet in Controller.
Step 6, is triggered on Packet in by downstream data flow 2 and send.
Step 7, if the downstream data flow continuing to have user not obtain mating arrives, so Switch according to existing operation can frequent on send Packet in message, even if the business datum of the downlink data identical Qos grade that may be same subscriber.
Step 8, when after subscriber paging success, MME can receive the SR signaling procedure that user terminal UE initiates.
Step 9, MME upgrades user face downlink tunnel by amendment bearing request message.
Step 10, Controller sends from downlink tunnel port by the instruction of Packet out message is data cached.
Step 11, Controller performs amended stream table content by stream table amendment message instruction follow-up data stream, data is sent from downlink tunnel port.
By the analysis of above-mentioned flow process, paging cause time to postpone a meeting or conference the situation bringing multiple Business Streams of impact, particularly same subscriber same levels in signaling to arrive Switch also to need Packet in send to Controller.Along with the growth of number of users, this signaling to controlller is impacted particularly evident.
