Embodiment
Below detailed features of the present invention is described in embodiments, its content is enough to make any those skilled in the art understand technology contents of the present invention and implement according to this, and according to the content disclosed by this specification, claim and accompanying drawing, any those skilled in the art can understand the object and advantage that the present invention is correlated with easily.Following examples further illustrate the present invention, but unrestricted category of the present invention.
Refer to Fig. 1.Fig. 1 is according to the high level block diagram of one embodiment of the invention route control device.As shown in Figure 1, route control device 1 can be the controller of software defined network, comprises processing module 10, communication module 12 and routing calculation module 16.Processing module 10 couples communication module 12 and routing calculation module 16 respectively.Software defined network can be reached an agreement on implementation by OpenFlow, such as interchanger Open control face and can with controller with information communication.The socket card (network interface card is called for short NIC) that route control device 1 comprises with communication module 12 passes through to link one or multiple stage interchanger on (link) coupled scheme, as interchanger 40.
Fig. 1 please be coordinate see Fig. 2.Fig. 2 is according to the flow chart of one embodiment of the invention route control method.As shown in Figure 2, in step S101, what communication module 12 received certain interchanger on automatic network asks information for instructions, wherein has starting point and the end address of certain package at least.Generally speaking, IP address refers to medium plan (the media access control of the socket at starting point place end host (host) of delivery package, be called for short MAC) address, and end address refers to the MAC addresses being associated with destination county main frame.For OpenFlow, package may be a part for package stream; Packet-in information can be sent ask for instructions to route control device 1 how to process when this interchanger does not know that how delivery package or package flow to next link.
In one embodiment, route control device 1 maintains a routing table, to record the path of all package stream on network, as passed through which interchanger etc.In step S103, routing calculation module 16 judges whether to have recorded in routing table the route of starting point described in the information of asking for instructions and end address; If have, processing module 10 performs step S107, as in step S105, first calculate according to starting point and end address package can take in a network path without then routing calculation module 16 and by add routing table entry.
Known route and the package interchanger that can pass through on it, processing module 10 can judge in step S107 whether the package processing list of this (a bit) interchanger records the processing rule relevant with the end address of this package or package stream.Package processing list can be but be not limited to the stream table (flow table) that OpenFlow defines.Specifically, this processing rule should be able to make interchanger receive any have during the package of same endpoint address suitably process.If judged result is negative, then, in step S109, processing module 10 is associated with end address rule by one adds package processing list.It should be noted that this rule added can not record any restriction to IP address; That is, if having certain about the field of package starting point in the comparison condition of package processing list, then the dont care term that what the starting point field of this rule was inserted is in logical circuit.
In one embodiment, processing rule also can be associated with a counting, and when the judged result of step S107 is affirmative, processing module 10 can not be revised existing processing rule but in step S111, increase this counting.The surperficial meaning of counting calculates this processing rule to be cited how many times, namely has interchanger to delivery of how many packages or package stream according to this rule, and in practice, counting can be that certain of regular importance or unsuppressible-suppression is weighed.Namely counter (counter) field is had freely to use for developer in the stream sheet format that OpenFlow defines.
Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 please be coordinate see Fig. 3.The high level block diagram of Fig. 3 mono-network.As shown in Figure 3, this network 2 has end host 30,32,34,36 and 38, and interchanger 40,42,44,46 and 48.End host 30,34 and 36 couples interchanger 40, and is linked up by the end host that on interchanger 40 and network 2, other may exist.End host 32 and 38 couple interchanger 46.Interchanger 40 and 46 is often called as edge (edge) interchanger because coupling end host, the interchanger 42,44 and 48 being positioned at network 2 inside is core (core) interchanger.Interchanger 40 couples interchanger 42 and 44.Interchanger 42 still couples interchanger 44,46 and 48.Interchanger 44 still couples interchanger 46 and 48.Route control device 1 in the conceptive Fig. 2 of not being plotted in couples interchanger 40,42,44,46 and 48 respectively, but in fact route control device 1 can be integrated with certain interchanger in network 2, or as the server that end host presents.
Suppose in the very first time, end host 30 starts to be the package stream of end host 32 to interchanger 40 sending destination.Route control device 1 asked for instructions by interchanger 40 in step S101.Because interchanger 40 and route control device 1 did not all process such package stream, routing calculation module 16 calculates and determines that the path that package wherein should be formed along interchanger 40,42 and 46 is sent in step S105.In step S109, the package processing list of interchanger 40,42 and 46 has been added into MAC addresses that a terminal field is end host 32 respectively and has been counted as the processing rule of 1.
In the second time, end host 30 starts the package stream that sending destination is end host 38.Interchanger 40 asks route control device 1 for instructions once again in step S101, and routing calculation module 16 calculates and determines that the path that package wherein should be formed along interchanger 40,44 and 46 is sent in step S105.In step S109, the package processing list of interchanger 40,44 and 46 has been added into MAC addresses that a terminal field is end host 38 respectively and has been counted as the processing rule of 1.
In the 3rd time, it is also the package stream of end host 38 that end host 34 starts sending destination.In step S105, routing calculation module 16 determines that the path that package wherein should be formed along interchanger 40,44 and 46 is sent.Due to this paths identical with leading portion self terminal main frame 30 to end host 38 (link except interchanger 40 and starting point place end host), in step S111, in the package processing list of interchanger 40,44 and 46, terminal field is that the counting associated by processing rule of the MAC addresses of end host 38 is increased to 2.
In the 4th time, it is also the package stream of end host 38 that end host 36 starts sending destination.In step S105, routing calculation module 16 determines that the path that package wherein should be formed along interchanger 40,44 and 46 is sent.Due to this paths identical with front two sections of self terminal main frame 30 to end hosts 38 (link except interchanger 40 and starting point place end host), in step S111, in the package processing list of interchanger 40,44 and 46, terminal field is that the counting associated by processing rule of the MAC addresses of end host 38 is increased to 3.
Suppose network 2 Local Area Network, interchanger 48 is the external gate of Local Area Network, and to have outside end host to start sending destination in the 5th time be also the package stream of end host 38.In step S105, routing calculation module 16 determines that the path that package wherein should be formed along interchanger 48,44 and 46 is sent.On this paths, interchanger 48 was never set, and therefore a terminal field is the MAC addresses of end host 38 and the processing rule being counted as 1 adds the package processing list of interchanger 48 by processing module 10 in step S109.Meanwhile, the package processing list due to interchanger 44 and 46 has recorded the rule about end host 38, and processing module 10 is counted in step S111 increases to 4.
In sum, after the 5th time, the routing table that route control device 1 is safeguarded should record the route of five different package streams; Have the rule about end host 32 and 38 in the package processing list of interchanger 40, counting is respectively 1 and 3; The rule about end host 32, counting 1 is had in the package processing list of interchanger 42; The rule about end host 38, counting 4 is had in the package processing list of interchanger 44; Have the rule about end host 32 and 38 in the package processing list of interchanger 46, counting is respectively 1 and 4; The rule about end host 38, counting 1 is had in the package processing list of interchanger 48.The package processing list of all interchangers has 7 rules, need in complete comparison strategy record 15 (aforementioned all countings and) only need consume about half a ternary content can addressing memory space.Certainly this just accessiblely with regard to the example of Fig. 2 with regard to significantly improves, but more toward network internal in practice, core interchanger is more the package stream that process is polymerized, and effect of the present invention will more show.
