Description

A kind of packet routing switch device and method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to the network communications technology, relate in particular to the technology of message routing, exchange in wan communication.
Background technology
OSI (Open Systems Interconnection, Open System Interconnection) is defined as seven layers with communication process, is respectively physical layer, data link layer, and network layer, transport layer, session layer, presentation layer and application layer, each layer all is self-existent.These the seven layers task division with transmission information between Net-connected computer are seven littler, as to be easier to handle task groups.Each task or task groups are assigned to each osi layer, and the task of being assigned to each layer can be carried out independently.End-to-end communication between four layers of basic handling data source of layer 7 to the and the data destination, and the 3rd layer of communication to ground floor basic handling LA Management Room.
Wherein, the second layer, be that program, the encapsulated data packet that the data link layer defining operation communicates to connect is Frame, monitoring and the error of transmission of correction of data bag;
The 3rd layer, be network layer define grid equipment room how to transmit data, according to unique network appliance address route data packets, provide stream and congested control to prevent the loss of Internet resources.
Data are packaged into packet in Network Transmission, and the data of transmitting in wide area network or ethernet network at present generally are packaged into the packet of IP form, are called the IP packet, are referred to herein as message.The IP data packet format comprises as shown in Figure 1: two layer message head, IP heading, IP message content.If the IP packet is propagated in wide area network, then the two layer message head adopts wide area network two layer message head, if propagate in Ethernet, then the two layer message head adopts Ethernet two layer message head.
Ethernet two layer message head is shown in Fig. 2 a and Fig. 2 b.Wherein Fig. 2 a is not for being with VLAN (VirtualLocal Area Network, VLAN) number Ethernet two layer message head; Fig. 2 b is the Ethernet two layer message head of band vlan number.12 bytes behind the SOFD (Start of Frame Delimiter, SFD) identify the destination node MAC Address of receiving data frames respectively and send source node MAC (Media Access Control, the medium access control) address of Frame.In the Ethernet two layer message head of the band vlan number shown in Fig. 2 b, after the source node MAC Address 802.1Q frame head of 4 bytes, be the length or the type field of original Ethernet afterwards.In 4 bytes of 802.1Q frame head, comprised vlan number, the different different route network segments of vlan number representative.
When in wide area network, communicating, the time-multiplexed way of general employing, a wan communication circuit is divided into the experimental process channel by the time, and each subchannel is called VC (Virtual Channel, Virtual Channel), each subchannel can be distributed to different wan users.
VC comprises PVC (Permanent Virtual Connect, Permanent Virtual Channel) and SVC (SwitchingVirtual Connect, switched virtual channel), and PVC exists always, and SVC only just consults in the needs communication.On the Wide Area Network interface, a plurality of VC can be arranged.Therefore, Wide Area Network interface and VC are the relations more than 1 pair.What use on Wide Area Network interface usually at present is the PVC passage.Virtual Channel is represented a Virtual Channel of a DLCI number corresponding Wide Area Network interface with DLCI (Data Link Connection Identifier, data link connection identifier) in the two layer message form.Two layers of header format of wide area network as shown in Figure 3, DLCI wherein number is 10 bit long, can be between 0-1023 value, other is various controls, sign position.
IP heading form in the IP packet as shown in Figure 4, comprising sending the IP address of data source nodes and receiving the IP address of the destination node of data.
In the transmission of OSI Layer 2 data link layer realization IP packet, function of exchange is mainly finished by Layer 2 switch.Layer 2 switch is the equipment of data link layer, and the mac address information in can read data packet also carries out the exchange of IP packet according to MAC Address.
There is an address table Layer 2 switch inside, and this address table has been indicated the corresponding relation of MAC Address and switch ports themselves.When switch is received a packet from certain port, read the source MAC in the two layer message head, determine the port that the machine of transmission packet connects according to source MAC, read the target MAC (Media Access Control) address in the two layer message head, and in address table, search corresponding ports according to target MAC (Media Access Control) address, if have and the target MAC (Media Access Control) address corresponding port in the table, then packet directly sent to this port; If in table, do not have with the target MAC (Media Access Control) address corresponding port then packet to all port broadcasting, after the purpose machine receives broadcast packet, when source machine is responded, Layer 2 switch may learn the MAC Address of purpose machine and the corresponding relation between the port, then no longer needs to be broadcast to all of the port when transmitting the packet of this target MAC (Media Access Control) address next time.
Because Layer 2 switch generally has very wide switching bus bandwidth, so can carry out exchanges data for a lot of ports simultaneously.If Layer 2 switch has N port, the bandwidth of each port is M, and the Layer 2 switch bus bandwidth is more than or equal to N * M, and the port of this switch just can reach the transfer capability of maximum rate so.
Route, function of exchange that OSI three-layer network layer is realized are mainly finished by router or three-tier switch.The structure of three-tier switch comprises as shown in Figure 5: CPU and three layers of exchange chip.Wherein CPU is equivalent to the management plane task of the control plane and the whole switch system of the main deal with data of router, and the renewal of ARP (Address Resolution Protocol, address resolution protocol) addressing, routing iinformation, routing table maintenance, route are calculated, route function such as determine.Three layers of exchange chip then are responsible for the work on exchange data plane, mainly are the exchanges of handling three-tier message, also can carry out the two layer message exchange.
Three-tier switch mainly has the function of ARP addressing function and quick exchange data.Message forwarding realizes by three layers of exchange chip of hardware, so three-tier switch also has higher forwarding speed, but three-tier switch is transmitted and need be undertaken by the host CPU of three-tier switch for the message of Wide Area Network interface, and can not directly message be forwarded to Wide Area Network interface, perhaps receive message from Wide Area Network interface.So when realizing that the wide area network message is transmitted, over-burden to cause the host CPU of three-tier switch, causes forward efficiency low, bottleneck occurs.
The ARP addressing principle as shown in Figure 6.When host A will be communicated by letter with host B, host A was checked the MAC Address whether host B is arranged in its arp cache earlier.If no, host A sends an ARP request broadcast packet, is comprising it in this bag and is desiring the IP address of the main frame of communication, just the IP address of host B with it.After host B is received this broadcasting, utilize the arp response bag to pass to host A the MAC Address of oneself, and upgrade the arp cache of oneself, and the corresponding preservation with MAC Address in the IP address of the host A in the broadcast packet is got up, in order to using.Host A obtains can communicating by letter with host B after the MAC Address of host B, and simultaneously, host A is also with in the corresponding arp cache that is kept at oneself with MAC Address in the IP address of host B.
If two machines are in same subnet, promptly during the not shared same gateway of two machines, to communicate by letter with purpose machine C as distribution of machine A, distribution of machine A will send the ARP bag to default gateway, and the IP address of default gateway is provided with in systems soft ware.The IP address that in fact this IP address is exactly corresponding three-tier switch.So when distribution of machine A broadcasts out an ARP request to the IP address of default gateway,, then reply the MAC Address of C to distribution of machine A if three-tier switch has obtained the MAC Address of purpose machine C in communication process in the past; Otherwise three-tier switch is according to ARP request of routing iinformation broadcasting, and purpose machine C obtains replying its MAC Address to three-tier switch after this ARP asks for instructions, and three-tier switch is preserved this address and replied to distribution of machine A.
After, when carrying out between A and the C message again when transmitting, will be directly with the MAC Address encapsulation of purpose machine C, the message repeating process is all given second layer exchange and is handled, and information is able to exchange at a high speed.So realized a routing, repeatedly exchange.
Three layer-network layer the operation of router in OSI seven layer network models, router interior has a routing table, and this routing table has been indicated the routed path of message.Router is received a packet from certain port, at first (unpacking) removed in the packet header of link layer, read purpose IP address, search routing table then, if can determine the routed path of this message, this packet is forwarded after then adding packet header (packing) of link layer; If can not determine the routed path of this message, then return the information of one " this destination address can not arrive ", and this packet is lost to the source address of this message.
Route technology is made up of decision optimal path and two activities the most basic of transmits data packets, illustrates that below by a simple routing table how carrying out route determines, and is as shown in table 1 below:
Table 1
Purpose IP address Gateway Sign Interface
140.252.13.65 140.252.13.35 UGH emd0
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 1o0
default 140.252.13.33 UG emd0
140.252.13.32 140.252.13.34 U emd0
According to table 1, when router is received an IP packet,, in table 1, search corresponding interface with the purpose IP address of this IP packet and the purpose IP matching addresses in the table, by the interface of this machine, mail to corresponding gateway then.
In this routing table, 127.0.0.1 is a loopback interface, and name is always 1o0.And default is a default route, and when can't search match options, the IP packet all mails to this place.If there is not occurrence in the routing table, also give tacit consent to item, return a mistake will for the application program that sends packet, " the unreachable mistake of main frame " or " the unreachable mistake of network ", and abandon this packet.
Communication mutually between the router, and can be by transmitting dissimilar lastest imformation maintenance routing tables separately.By analyzing the routing update information that other router sends, router can be grasped whole topology of networks.Link State Advertisement is another information of transmitting between router, the Link State of information sender can be notified to other router timely.
In network layer, router is also born the task that the message between multiple Wide Area Network interface and Ethernet interface is transmitted except having routing function.Router realizes that the message between multiple Wide Area Network interface and Ethernet interface transmits schematic diagram as shown in Figure 7 in the prior art.E-Packet in order to be implemented between multiple Wide Area Network interface and Ethernet interface, the CPU of router will finish route querying work earlier, changes the two layer message head then message is forwarded to the distinct interface place.
Because in the three-tier switch implementation of prior art, between wide area network multiple interfaces and Ethernet interface, E-Packet, the advanced walking along the street of host CPU that all needs three-tier switch is by searching work, and then carry out interface forwarding work, cause that the host CPU task is heavy, efficient is low, become the bottleneck in the forward-path.Therefore the high-speed interface on the multiple router all can not reach surface speed forwarding, such as ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode, asynchronous transfer mode), Pos (Packet over SONET is by synchronous optical network Data transmission packet network) high-speed interface, all be difficult to reach the speed of 155M.
