Description
BACKGROUND OF THE
Network technology has become a very important infrastructure in businesses, homes and public institutions. However, the current network includes communication devices such as a router or a switch. Such communication devices include complicated protocols and functions, and there are many cases in which characteristics are different according to each manufacturer. .
In order to solve the problems of the network technology described above, a switch or router technology having an open interface has been studied. However, the network technology providing the open interface has been hindered from commercialization due to high price compared to the performance.
OpenFlow technology has emerged to provide an open standard interface to users or developers while addressing costly problems.
The open flow technology separates the packet forwarding function and the control function of the network switch and provides a protocol for communication between the two functions so that the software driven by the external control device can determine the packet path in the switch regardless of the equipment manufacturer do.
An open-flow system includes an open-flow switch and a controller. The open-flow switch and the controller are configured to use a standardized open-flow protocol and configured to perform current network functions using Software Defined Networking Networking, hereinafter abbreviated as SDN) network.
The open-flow switch performs basic switching functions and is composed of a flow table, a secure channel, and an open-flow protocol. The controller creates the flow table inside the switch by the open flow protocol, which includes the ability to register or delete a new flow.
In the open flow system, the key function for the operation of the controller and the open flow switch node is the flow table. The flow table is used to forward packets to a specified port on an open flow node, do.
However, in the conventional open flow system, when a port failure occurs in the open flow switch, the controller recognizes the failure state, sets a port constituting a new path, and updates the flow table corresponding to the set port It took a lot of time to cope with the failure, and the packet was not transmitted during the time of coping with the failure.
In addition, when a failure occurs in one of the nodes constituting the network, there is a problem that the traffic transmission is interrupted during the failure recovery time such as reconfiguring the path and updating the flow table.
An object of the present invention to solve the above problem is to provide a fault handling method of an SDN network that can guarantee continuity of traffic transmission when a fault occurs in an SDN network.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for handling a failure of an SDN network, the method comprising: setting bypass information to be transferred when a failure occurs in a flow table; Obtaining the bypass port information corresponding to the port and performing port switching from the failed port to the bypass port based on the obtained bypass port information.
According to the above-described method for coping with the failure of the SDN network, the flow table set for the port of the open flow switch (or node) and / or the standby port information that can be switched in case of node failure is used, By performing port switching, it is possible to quickly switch the traffic flow, thereby minimizing service interruption time.
In addition, by analyzing the traffic flow in the network at the time of failure, the optimum traffic transmission path is reconfigured and the standby port is updated accordingly, thereby ensuring continuity of traffic transmission in case of a port or node failure, Can be improved.
