" high in the clouds " involved in the embodiment of the present invention refers to use the soft of application program Intel Virtualization Technology Part platform, by this platform, all kinds of popular softwares can in independent virtualized environment packed Come.High in the clouds AC cluster is exactly the AC software cluster in this virtualized environment, each AC in this cluster Exist with virtualization software form.
LB mainly includes following functions:
1) relevant information of each AC, such as load information, version information etc. in timing acquisition AC cluster. This LB can obtain the relevant information of each AC AC cluster from network management platform.
2) the discovery request message that AP sends is received.Fig. 1 does not shows that the company of all AP Yu LB Connect relation.
3) for sending the AP distribution AC finding request message from the AC cluster of high in the clouds.LB can foundation Load balancing principle is that AP distributes AC, it is also possible to further combined with other factors, such as whether AP connects Take over this AC and connection failure, the distance of AP Yu AC, the software version of AP Yu AC, AP with Whether AC belongs to same operator, etc..Specifically will describe in detail in subsequent embodiment.
4) address information of the AC of distribution is returned to AP.
AP mainly includes following functions:
1) discovery request message is sent to LB.
2) receive LB return AC address information, this AC be LB from the AC cluster of high in the clouds for should The AC of AP distribution.
3) the AC address information returned according to LB, sets up to AC request and connects, i.e. consult to set up CAPWAP tunnel.
4) if AC cannot be connected, the most again send to LB and find request message, ask in this discovery Message carries the address information of the AC that cannot connect.
5) if the connection of AP Yu AC disconnects, attempting n times and set up connection failure to this AC, N is The positive integer preset, the most again sends to LB and finds request message, carry in this discovery request message The address information of the AC that cannot connect.
The major function of AC is as follows:
1) it is connected with AP foundation.
2) collect the operation information on AP and be reported to network management platform, according under network management platform The configuration distributing sent out is to concrete AP.
3) timing reports the relevant information of AC to network management platform, and wherein relevant information includes load letter Breath, version information etc..
The method detailed flow chart that Fig. 2 provides for the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 2, in 201, The relevant information of the vAC in the AC cluster of LB timing acquisition high in the clouds, mainly includes load information, also may be used To include version information etc..LB is when obtaining the relevant information of vAC, and each vAC can regularly report certainly The relevant information of body is to network management platform, and network management platform is responsible for managing each equipment in network Reason, LB timing from network management platform obtain each vAC relevant information, this framework without LB with Directly it is attached between each vAC, convenient management and maintenance.It is of course also possible to LB is directly from each vAC Obtain relevant information.This step is the step periodically performed.
After having AP to start, perform 202, resolve the domain name of the sensing LB being pre-configured with, according to resolving The address information of the LB obtained, sends to LB and finds request message.In embodiments of the present invention, may be used To point to the domain name of LB in advance in each AP configuration, after carrying out domain name mapping, obtain the address information of LB. This mode can solve the single-point problem of LB, i.e. this domain name can point to LB cluster, and parsing obtains The address information of LB can be any one LB working properly in this LB cluster, it is also possible to be this LB cluster loads less LB and (i.e. can realize load balancing in LB cluster, this load balancing Domain name resolution server realizes control), it is also possible to it is the LB that in this LB cluster, distance AP is nearest, Etc..
Certainly, in addition to the mode in this step, it is also possible to be directly pre-configured with the ground of LB at AP Location information, utilizes this address information to send to LB and finds request message.But the preferably side shown in 202 Formula.
Attempt connecting transmission (concrete condition after certain vAC failure if this discovery request message is AP To relate in subsequent descriptions), then this discovery request message can carry the vAC's that cannot connect Address information, this address information can carry the vendor specific payload in finding request message In (supplier's specific load), the structure of this vendor specific payload can institute in such as Fig. 3 Show.Wherein Vendor Identifier (supplier's mark) is for distinguishing each vendor specific payload Field, Element ID (component identification) is used for distinguishing the sub-attribute in Vendor Identifier field, VAC IP is for carrying the IP address of vAC, and AP Software Version is for carrying the software of AP Version information.
In 203, receive the LB finding request message, according to load balancing principle, from AC cluster In for AP distribute vAC.
Due to the relevant information of each vAC in LB meeting timing acquisition vAC cluster in 201, including bearing Information carrying ceases, and can divide according to the vAC that load balancing principle, preferably present load are little the most in this step Dispensing AP.The most above-mentioned load information can include but not limited to: cpu busy percentage, memory usage, Bandwidth availability ratio and the one reached the standard grade in rate of AP or combination in any.The rate of reaching the standard grade of AP refers to this The current AP quantity connected and the ratio of this vAC open ended AP quantity in vAC.
According to load balancing principle, time from vAC cluster for AP distribution vAC, can first root It is found that the address information of the vAC that cannot connect carried in request message, getting rid of this AP cannot connect VAC, the vAC that so this AP cannot connect would not be again assigned to this AP, thus improve The probability of vAC in AP connection.
In addition to according to load balancing principle, it is also possible to combine other principles, such as: be preferably AP The vAC that distribution distance AP is nearest;It is preferably the vAC that AP distribution software version compatibility is best;Excellent The vAC of consolidated network operator is first belonged to for AP distribution.
A kind of mode is set forth below, the priority of each vAC can be determined for this AP, then select excellent The AC that first level is the highest distributes to AP.Determine that the mode of priority can be such that
If what AP sent finds to carry in request message the address information of the AC that cannot connect, then will The priority of this AC that cannot connect is set to 0.
Otherwise, the priority P of vAC uses equation below to determine:
P=a1* (1-L1)+a2* (1-L2)+a3* (1-L3)+a4* (1-L4)+a5*L5
Wherein, a1, a2, a3, a4 and a5 are weight coefficient, and L1 is the cpu busy percentage of vAC, L2 is the memory usage of vAC, and L3 is the bandwidth availability ratio of vAC, and L4 is that the AP of vAC reaches the standard grade Rate, L5 is the matching degree scoring of AP and vAC, and whether this L5 can be belonged to same by AP Yu vAC One region, the software version of AP with vAC is the most consistent, and whether AP Yu vAC belongs to consolidated network fortune The comprehensive gradings such as battalion business.
In 204, the address information of the vAC distributed for AP is carried in finding response message by LB Return to AP.
AP is from the address information finding to parse response message vAC received, foundation in 205 This address information request is set up with vAC and is connected, and i.e. consults to set up CAPWAP (Control And with AC Provisioning ofWireless Access Points Protocol Specification, the control of WAP System and configuration protocol) tunnel.
It is connected if AP cannot set up with this vAC, then again go to 202, sends to LB and find Request message, carries the address information of this vAC in this discovery request message.
If the connection of AP Yu vAC disconnects, then AP can attempt again setting up with this vAC being connected, as Fruit attempts n times all unsuccessfully, and N is default positive integer, then go to 202, and AP sends to LB and finds Request message, carries the address information of the vAC that cannot connect in this discovery request message.
