Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the communications field, in particular to a kind of network flow statistic report process method, device, controller and switch.
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 open type shortest path priority protocol (OpenShortest Path First, referred to as OSPF), Border Gateway Protocol (Border Gateway Protocol, referred to as BGP), multicast, Differentiated Services, traffic engineering, network address translation (Network Address Translation, referred to as NAT), fire compartment wall, multiprotocol label switching (Multi-Protocol Label Switching, referred to as 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: the data path (switch, router) of bottom is " mute, simple, minimum ", and define public application programming interface (the Application Programming Interface about stream table of an opening, referred to as API), 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, there is software defined network (Software Defined Network, referred to as SDN), Fig. 1 be in correlation technique Open Flow(hereinafter referred to as OF) protocol application Organization Chart, Fig. 2 be in correlation technique message flow by the schematic diagram of Open Flow process pipeline, as Fig. 1, shown in 2, core technology Open Flow agreement is by separating network equipment chain of command (comprising Open Flow Controller) and data surface (comprising OpenFlow Logical Switch), thus achieve the flexible control of network traffics, for the innovation of core network and application provides good platform.
Open Flow agreement is used to the standard describing mutual information used between controller and switch, and the interface standard of controller and switch.The core of agreement is the set for Open Flow protocol information structure.Fig. 3 is the Message processing schematic diagram based on Open Flow stream table in correlation technique, as shown in Figure 3, entry Open Flow stream table or form pipeline through multiple stream table cascade of layout and be used for configuration switch forward-path, table 1 is Open Flow stream table in correlation technique, as shown in table 1, this stream table clause is made up of following several fields such as matching field, counter and instruction set:
Table 1
| Match Fields | Priority | Counters | Instructions | Timeouts | Cookie |
Wherein, matching domain (Match Fields) is the input keyword of message coupling, for mating a stream table clause; Counter (Counters) is the various statistical informations for managing; Instruction set (Instructions) refers to the operational order to message, comprises abandoning, the designated port that E-Packets, arranging header field value, increase encapsulated tags etc.Behavior aggregate (Action Set) and each message are associated, it transmit between multiple stream tables of pipeline and the instruction shown by each stream revise, until line treatment terminates, form final behavior aggregate.
The traffic statistics (Queue) of Open Flow network support interface, stream table clause (Flow Entry), group table clause (Group), meter entry (Meter) and queue (such as, the message number of process and byte number).Define relevant traffic statistics message in OpenFlow agreement, as Individual Flow Statistics(single current statistics), Aggregate Flow Statistics(multithread statistics), Group Statistics(group table statistics), Meter Statistics(meter add up), Queue Statistics(priority-queue statistic) etc.These message all initiatively initiate requesting query to switch by controller in Multipart message.This inquiry mode is undertaken when low-frequency degree is inquired about proper at controller or APP by controller.When controller needs to collect Open Flow network topology, and as far as possible quasi real time network flow calculation data, so that controller can according to network local nodes, the temperature of link or stream table clause adjusts rectifier meter path in time, when doing load balancing, if now also require, controller goes frequent to inquire about corresponding stream table clause on a large scale, group table clause, meter entry, interface, the traffic statistics of queue, heavy pressure can be formed to controller, because in this query script, controller may need to use timer poll, and the data needing process two message (request and response) just can complete a statistics point are extracted.
Therefore, in the related by the mode of controller requester network traffic statistics, cause heavy burden to controller, affect the problem of network performance.
