The height of service system is available conventionally to carry out active and standby switching by multiple redundant nodes and realizes, and the abstract model of its system as shown in Figure 1.
As shown in Figure 1, service end forms a resource pool by multiple access nodes. High-availability system outside access is changed and the resource pool that leads in certain available resource node. High-availability system externally issue a unification " virtual external address " so that client conduct interviews. In the time that client conducts interviews to service system by virtual address, high available front-end proxy agent is changed the destination address to this request of access, converts inner active node address to, and by the access stream actual active node that leads.

Detailed description of the invention
What introduce below is some in multiple possibility embodiment of the present invention, aims to provide basic understanding of the present invention, is not intended to confirm key of the present invention or conclusive key element or limits claimed scope. Easily understand, according to technical scheme of the present invention, do not changing under connotation of the present invention other implementation that one of ordinary skill in the art can propose mutually to replace. Therefore, below detailed description of the invention and accompanying drawing be only the exemplary illustration to technical scheme of the present invention, and should not be considered as of the present invention all or be considered as restriction or the restriction to technical solution of the present invention.
Network technology has greatly promoted the fast development of internet. But, traditional network technology is comparatively sealing always, and core technology and equipment Market are monopolized by several manufacturers, and the application on upper strata cannot direct control to the equipment below Internet. 2009, Stamford team has formally proposed software defined network (SoftwareDefinedNetworking, SDN) concept, be intended to break the closed situation of Internet, by the PN interface of standard is externally provided, application can be carried out alternately with network better, thus the global optimization performance of Hoisting System.
As shown in Figure 3, it is made up of SDN switch and SDN controller two parts typical SDN model. SDN controller is the center control nodes of whole network, is responsible for safeguarding the forwarding strategy of whole network, and issues the instruction of stream table by the management port of direct-connected each SDN switch. Each SDN switch is being stored a network flow table (FlowTable), the stream table strategy being issued to receive controller, and the message of data plane being flowed through by the list item in coupling stream table forwards.
Communication protocol between SDN controller and switch is called as south orientation agreement, and the south orientation agreement proposing is the earliest OpenFlow, has been developed at present 1.5 versions. In OpenFlow agreement, each stream list item (FlowEntry) is made up of parts such as classification and matching territory (MatchField) and operation rules (Instruction). The matched rule that the instruction of classification and matching word territory flows into message, once the match is successful, carries out the indicated operation of Instruction part. For example, in the stream table in Fig. 3, rule 1 represents that all messages that enter from port one all forward from port 2; The message that 2 instructions of stream table rule are 0.0.0.0 by all source addresses abandons. SDN switch operates all messages of flowing through according to these rules.
Continue with reference to figure 2, existing front-end proxy agent system can be divided into following two main functional modules, as shown in Figure 4:
1) heartbeat inspecting module: by the Host Status in regular transmission heartbeat packet monitoring resource pool;
2) network function module: the access message to client carries out address transition, and be guided to real work node.
Between two modules, be loose coupling relation, only, in the time that heartbeat monitoring modular is found host node abnormal state, just can carry out alternately, notifying it to flow switching with network function module.
Different from existing technical scheme, according to the application embodiment, in the module of the available realization of height based on SDN framework, still retain heartbeat inspecting module, network function module is isolated from front end proxy simultaneously, then realized by the network equipment of SDN architecture combined specialty. The system module block diagram of new departure as shown in Figure 5.
As shown in Figure 5, in one embodiment, SDN module is made up of network controller and SDN switch two parts. For the request of access of outer net, data message will directly carry out message by SDN switch to be processed and forwards, and needn't pass through other proxies. Heartbeat inspecting module and SDN controller are only to access from bypass as management node, are mainly responsible for the formulation of forwarding strategy and issue, and directly do not have influence on the forward-path of service traffics.
System module exploded view based on Fig. 5, wherein SDN module is carried out after instantiation, and the real system of this programme is disposed can be as shown in Figure 6. In one embodiment, SDN module is made up of network controller and SDN switch two parts. In the system starting stage, the node 1 that system is chosen in resource pool is main service node, and first network controller writes SDN switch by following two stream table rules:
Table 1: the stream table of system starting stage SDN switch
The meaning of stream rule 1 is that the message repeating of extranet access to node 1 is processed, and the destination address of message is changed to (address that is converted to node 1) simultaneously. 2 of stream rules are the B-rules of stream rule 1.
As shown in Figure 6, the access message of client will be directly sent to SDN switch, without preposition equipments such as process proxy machines. Mate for all messages that enter from port 0 according to stream rule 1, SDN switch, if destination address is vip, the destination address of message is converted to the address ip-1 of node 1, and from the port one of switch, message is produced.
Carry out reverse operation by flowing rule 2 for the message returning from node 1.
Meanwhile, heartbeat inspecting module is by regularly sending the state of heartbeat message monitoring node 1, and this process and above-mentioned outside message browsing process are completely independently.
Fig. 7 shows according to the application embodiment, the available failover schematic diagram of height based on SDN framework.
In conjunction with Fig. 7, according to the application embodiment, in the time that heartbeat monitoring modular detects that node 1 is delayed machine, system will be carried out following handling process:
(1) heartbeat inspecting module detects node 1 machine of delaying, and chooses secondary node 2 as mobile host computers, and by this message informing in network controller;
(2) SDN network controller issues stream table change directive to SDN interchanger, and the stream table after renewal is as shown in the table:
Table 2: the stream table of SDN switch after active and standby switching
(3) network flow is after this flowed through after SDN interchanger and is all forwarded via port 2, and active and standby switching completes.
Thus, the height that the application's technical scheme has realized connected reference by the framework of software defined network (SDN) is available, and can obtain the systematic function better than original Host Based high available solutions and the realization of more easy system.
In sum, the application has proposed a kind of available implementation of height based on software defined network (SDN) framework. The application's technical scheme makes full use of the advantage of SDN framework, the open network interface providing by SDN, network function module is separated from main frame and go out to transfer to the professional network equipment to process, thus the each module in high-availability system is carried out to maximum decoupling zero, simplify system, strengthened reliability simultaneously.
Above, describe the specific embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. But those skilled in the art can understand, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention in the situation that, can also do various changes and replacement to the specific embodiment of the present invention. These changes and replacement all drop in the claims in the present invention book limited range.
