Description

The collocation method of Openflow accessory channel and device
Technical field
The present invention relates to the communications field, especially relate to collocation method and the device of a kind of open flows (Openflow) accessory channel.
Background technology
Increasing disadvantage is exposed and the demand of people to network performance is more and more higher due to present network, researcher has to a lot of sophisticated functions to join in the middle of the architecture of router, such as ospf (Open Shortest Path First, be called for short OSPF), Border Gateway Protocol (Border Gateway Protocol, be called for short BGP), multicast, Differentiated Services, traffic engineering, network address translation (Network Address Translation, be called for short NAT), fire compartment wall, multiprotocol label switching (Multi Protocol Label Switching, be called for short MPLS) etc.This just makes the switching equipment such as router space that is more and more too fat to move and performance boost more and more less.
But distinct with the predicament of network field, computer realm achieves development with rapid changepl. never-ending changes and improvements.The development of careful review computer realm, is not difficult to find that its key is that computer realm have found a kind of simply available hardware bottom layer (x86 instruction set).Owing to there being a kind of so public hardware bottom layer, so in software, no matter be that application program or operating system all achieve development at full speed.Now much advocate that the personage redesigning computer network architectures thinks: the success that network can copy computer realm solves all problems that present network runs into.Under the guidance of this thought, network in the future will be such: data path such as switch, the router etc. of bottom are " mute, simple, minimum ", and define the public API about stream table of an opening, adopt controller to control whole network simultaneously.The API that following researcher just can call bottom on the controller freely programmes, thus realizes the innovation of network.
Based on above-mentioned theory, occurred software defined network (Software Defined Network is called for short SDN), it is that a kind of new network proposed by clean slate seminar of Stanford Univ USA innovates framework at first.At present, its core technology open flows (OpenFlow, being called for short OF) agreement is by separating the network equipment chain of command comprising OpenFlow controller (Controller) and the data surface that comprises OpenFlow logical switch (Logical Switch), thus achieve the flexible control of network traffics, for the innovation of core network and application provides good platform.
Introduce the switch after OpenFlow technology, be commonly referred to OpenFlow switch, it is different from traditional switch, originally the complete message repeating process controlled by switch/router is converted into and is jointly completed by OpenFlow switch and controller by OpenFlow switch, achieves being separated of data retransmission and route test.
As shown in Figure 1, OpenFlow passage is the interface connecting OpenFlow switch and controller.By this interface, controller can configure and manage switch.Receive message from switch simultaneously, and send message to switch.Message on all OpenFlow passages all must be transmitted by OpenFlow protocol format.OpenFlow agreement supports three kinds of type of messages: controller is to switch (controller-to-switch), and asynchronous (asynchronous) and symmetrical (symmetric), each class message has again multiple sub-type of message.Controller-to-switch message is initiated by controller, is used for managing or obtaining switch state; Asynchronous message is initiated by switch, is used for network event or switch status change to be updated to controller; Symmetric message can be initiated by switch or controller.
Like this, OpenFlow passage has a large amount of Openflow message, the pressure born is very large, in order to alleviate the pressure on OpenFlow passage, and improves message transmissions performance.Specify between switch and controller, there is multiple Openflow passage in Openflow agreement, namely by a main Openflow passage and multiple accessory channel, the realization of Openflow message is shunted.But current existing agreement does not provide the collocation method of multiple Openflow accessory channel.
