Table 4---flow statistic
Step 303: utilize routing table (table 2) and flow statistic (table 4), upgrade weighting and transmit (table 3).Be specially, for each next-hop device, search corresponding outgoing interface in routing table; In flow statistic, find out the number of data packets in all list items corresponding to interface, with the number of data packets that finds be added to weighting transmit in number of data packets corresponding to this next-hop device.
For example, be the next-hop device of 2.2.2.2 for the IP address, at first look-up table 2, and getting corresponding outgoing interface is Vlan-interface2; Look-up table 4 afterwards, and getting Vlan-interface2 place list item has 2, i.e. the 2nd row in table 4 and the 2nd row reciprocal; Number of data packets in these two list items (namely 1100 and 1100) is added to weighting, and to transmit middle IP address be number of data packets corresponding to next-hop device of 2.2.2.2, and namely obtaining number of data packets corresponding to this next-hop device is 2200.

Step 304: the packet of receiving data stream, search the fast-forwarding table, if there is not the relevant information of this data flow in the fast-forwarding table, judge the first packet that this packet is this data flow, execution in step 305; If have the relevant information of this data flow in the fast-forwarding table, according to the fast-forwarding table, this packet forwarded.
Step 305: search routing table, judge whether to exist equal-cost route, if there is no, execution in step 306; If exist, execution in step 307.
Step 306: according to this routing table, this packet is forwarded, and fast-forwarding table, process ends are set.
Step 307: the next-hop device take every equal-cost route is transmitted (table 5) as the index search weighting, determines the next-hop device that the corresponding data bag is minimum, with this package forward to the next-hop device of determining.
For example, when switching equipment receives certain packet, find this packet and have 2 equal-cost routes, respectively corresponding 2 next-hop devices of these 2 equal-cost routes, its IP address is respectively 2.2.2.2 and 3.3.3.3; Take these 2 next-hop devices as index look-up table 5, find corresponding number of data packets and be respectively 2200 and 2900, select the less next-hop device of corresponding data bag (being 2.2.2.2), with package forward to this next-hop device.
Step 308: the traffic flow information in step 307 and the next-hop device information selected are saved in the fast-forwarding table, in order to the follow-up data bag of this data flow is directly searched the fast-forwarding table and forwarded.
In above-mentioned steps 302, switching equipment is to obtain flow statistic by receiving the flow statistic that reports according to stream statistical report mechanism, the present embodiment also can adopt other obtain manner, for example, switching equipment is inquired about flow statistic according to default mechanism, thereby obtains flow statistic.

In the specific implementation of said method, upgrade and safeguard when weighting is transmitted, to carry out according to the flow statistic that reports or inquire about, under this mode, number of data packets during weighting is transmitted can not reflect the real-time results of stream statistics fully in real time, and reflection is the flow statistic that reports the last time or inquire about; But, the execution mode of this mode is simpler, and is also lower to the requirement of hardware, therefore is applicable in hardware handles system environments limited in one's ability.
Embodiment two:
In order further to improve the accuracy of load balancing, the mode that the present embodiment adopts precise load to share.Concrete, can judge have equal-cost route after, and searching before weighting transmits, by switching equipment, weighting is transmitted and carries out real-time update; Afterwards, the weighting of searching after real-time update is transmitted, and is identified for the next-hop device of forwarding data bag.Detailed process such as Fig. 4:
Fig. 4 is the realization flow figure of load sharing method in the embodiment of the present invention two.Comprise:
Step 401~406: concrete mode is with step 301~306.
Step 407: in routing table, the outgoing interface information that the next-hop device of the equal-cost route of judging in finding step 405 is corresponding; Take the outgoing interface that finds as index, obtain the number of data packets in all list items that in current flow statistic, this outgoing interface is corresponding, with the number of data packets that finds be added to weighting transmit in number of data packets corresponding to this next-hop device.
For example, when switching equipment receives certain packet, find this packet and have 2 equal-cost routes, respectively corresponding 2 next-hop devices of these 2 equal-cost routes are when its IP address is respectively 2.2.2.2 and 3.3.3.3; Search above-mentioned table 2, get these 2 outgoing interfaces corresponding to next-hop device and be respectively Vlan-interface2 and Vlan-interface3;
Suppose that current flow statistic is as shown in table 6, take outgoing interface Vlan-interface2 and Vlan-interface3 as index, current flow statistic carried out real-time searching:
Source IP Purpose IP Protocol number Source port Destination interface TOS Incoming interface Outgoing interface Number of data packets
51.51.51.51 10.10.10.10 11 20 40 80 Vlan-interface1 Vlan-interface2 400
52.52.52.52 10.10.10.10 11 20 40 80 Vlan-interface2 Vlan-interface3 100
53.53.53.53 10.10.10.10 11 20 40 80 Vlan-interface3 Vlan-interface4 100
The flow statistic of table 6---real-time searching
By take outgoing interface Vlan-interface2 and Vlan-interface3 as index look-up table 6, the number of data packets that gets in all list items corresponding to outgoing interface Vlan-interface2 is 400, number of data packets in all list items corresponding to Vlan-interface3 is 100, afterwards, the weighting of preserving before the number of data packets that finds is added to is transmitted in (i.e. table 5), the weighting that obtains after real-time update is transmitted, and is as shown in table 7.
Down hop Number of data packets
2.2.2.2 2600
3.3.3.3 3000
4.4.4.4 2100
5.5.5.5 1100
6.6.6.6 800
127.0.0.1 0
Table 7---the weighting after real-time update is transmitted
Step 408: (table 7) transmitted in the weighting after take the next-hop device of every equal-cost route as the index search real-time update, determines the next-hop device that the corresponding data bag is minimum, with this package forward to the next-hop device of determining.
Specifically search and pass-through mode with step 307.At this moment, this step is searched is that weighting after real-time update is transmitted, and the real-time results that can reflect in real time stream statistics in network are transmitted in this weighting, so transmit more accurate than the weighting in embodiment one; Therefore, the present embodiment can be realized more accurate load balancing.
Step 409: the next-hop device information of selecting in step 408 is issued in the fast-forwarding table, in order to the follow-up data bag of this data flow is directly searched the fast-forwarding table and forwarded.
So far, the flow process shared of the embodiment of the present invention two precise loads finishes.
