In the present invention, the equally loaded of each node needs range of summation during district management entity is asked according to virtual net string bag The equally loaded ability of each node in interior bottom physical network, region is mapped to using Greedy strategy by the request of virtual net string bag On interior bottom physical network.The present invention is during mapping, and the mapping of dummy node and virtual link is to carry out simultaneously, i.e., When mapping dummy node, with reference to the demand characteristic of virtual link to avoid opening for longer path in bottom physical network Pin.In mapping, the current unmapped virtual section with maximum equally loaded demand in the request of virtual net string bag is detected first Point nv, dummy node n is then found in this regionvK candidate's bottom physical node, k described both candidate nodes are the areas It is currently also unmapped and the dummy node n can be met in domainvDemand first k maximum equally loaded ability bottom Physical node.To each candidate's bottom physical node, candidate's bottom physical node and each dummy node mapped are calculated Path length sum between corresponding bottom physical node, by described dummy node nvIt is mapped to shortest path path length In the both candidate nodes of degree, and the virtual link between the dummy node that has mapped is mapped.
District management entity is described as follows to the mapping algorithm false code that virtual net string bag is asked:
Fig. 6-1,6-2 and 6-3 are region pipes in a kind of embodiment of the mapping method of virtual network based on classification of the present invention The schematic diagram of the virtual network mapping of entity is managed, the numerical value in small square frame in above-mentioned three width figure represents the normalization money of node Source, by memory capacity, magnetic disc i/o, the influence of CPU and internal memory;Numerical value on lines represents the normalization resource of link, tape Width, delay, the influence of shake;At the time of on wave(T1, t2 ... ...)Represent pointed node or link in the map by The time sequencing of processing;Numerical value in icon represents equally loaded ability/equally loaded demand of node. In the present embodiment, the number k=3 of both candidate nodes is taken.As in fig. 6-2, before mapping is started, have in the request of virtual net string bag The node of maximum equally loaded demand is a, meanwhile, there is maximum equally loaded ability in region in bottom physical network Node is B, wherein, node a resource requirement is 12, and node B available resources are 14, therefore node B can meet node a need Ask, node a is mapped in node B.Now, the unmapped section with maximum equally loaded demand in the request of virtual net string bag Point is dummy node c, and both candidate nodes of the dummy node c in bottom physical network are D, A, E(Reason is:Take both candidate nodes Number k=3, are removed after the bottom physical node B mapped, the maximum 3 candidates section of remaining k=3 equally loaded ability Point is D, A, E).Wherein, tri- nodes of D, A, E to the node B mapped path length be 1, and D equally loaded energy Power is maximum, therefore dummy node c is mapped on D, then by the virtual link between the dummy node a, c that have mapped<a,c> It is mapped to physical link<B,D>On.Now, dummy node to be mapped is b, and dummy node b both candidate nodes are A, E, F.Its In, both candidate nodes A to the node mapped path length sum is 4, both candidate nodes E to the path of the node mapped Length is 2, and both candidate nodes F to the node mapped path length is 4, therefore, dummy node b is mapped into both candidate nodes On E, to reduce the expense of longer path mapping, then again by virtual link<a,b>It is mapped to bottom physical pathway<B,E>, will Virtual link<c,b>It is mapped to bottom physical pathway<D,E>.
In a kind of mapping method of virtual network based on classification of the present invention, when all virtual net string bag requests are all successfully reflected During the bottom physical network being mapped in each region, whole virtual network requests mapping just successfully have mapped.Otherwise, refusal is reflected Penetrate and resource allocation, and return result to user.
In summary, a kind of mapping method of virtual network based on classification of the present invention passes through to the void in virtual network requests Intend node and carry out classification analysis, less virtual net string bag is asked on a large scale by the virtual network segmentation of request according to classification results And the parallel mapping processing of the management entity progress in each region is dispatched to, so that computation complexity is reduced, when reducing mapping Between.The management entity of regional calculates virtual network when maps virtual network is asked by introducing resources balance mechanism Son request equally loaded demand and bottom physical network equally loaded ability come aid in mapping, it is achieved thereby that bottom-layer network The load balancing of resource.In district management entity, the coordination that dummy node mapping and virtual link map, which is integrated, avoids section It is widely distributed that point maps, and reduces the bottom physical path length of link maps.
It should be noted last that, the above embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of the present invention and it is unrestricted.Although ginseng The present invention is described in detail according to embodiment, it will be understood by those within the art that, to the technical side of the present invention Case is modified or equivalent substitution, and without departure from the spirit and scope of technical solution of the present invention, it all should cover in the present invention Right among.
