Description

Aging method and device for data packet cache of switch
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of message cache engines of switches, in particular to an aging method and device for data packet cache of a switch.
Background
The transmission and switching speed of ethernet data restricts the development of ethernet, a higher-performance network device is required to increase the speed of the network, and a switch is used as an important two-layer switching network device, and in a network architecture, the switch is an information transfer station and forwards data received from a certain port from other ports according to a certain rule. The performance of which directly affects the overall network speed of the network in which it is located. The implementation of high performance switches is difficult.
In the process of transferring data packets, network data packets need to be stored into a data packet cache engine according to priority, and the data packet cache engine comprises a plurality of data packet cache queues.
The following detailed description:
the message cache engine is an important component of the switch message processing engine. In the process of data forwarding, the switch needs to receive the data packet into the memory, then analyzes the data packet, and performs data filling, modification, copying and forwarding according to a certain strategy. The message caching engine is a functional module for data caching, and has the following functional characteristics:
(1) memory management: carrying out centralized management on the memory of the switch;
(2) list of free memory: maintaining the exchanged free memory list to quickly obtain the free memory;
(3) message queue management: queue management is carried out on the received messages which are not forwarded;
(4) memory recovery: and recovering the memory of the sent message and putting the message into the idle memory.
The data caching mechanism of the message caching engine of the existing switch is as follows:
as shown in fig. 1, the switch packet cache engine divides the overall switch memory into three parts, which are respectively used for packet cache block management, a free memory chain table and an unsent packet queue.
I, packet cache block management:
generally, a switch divides the whole packet buffer into N packet buffer blocks with fixed length for management, and one packet may occupy one or more packet buffer blocks according to the data size of the packet, and each packet buffer block uses the starting position of an address as an index for accessing the packet buffer block, i.e. a packet buffer index of the packet buffer block. The N packet cache blocks correspond to packet cache index 0 to packet cache index N, respectively, as shown in fig. 2.
After a packet cache block is used, until the packet is forwarded, or discarded, it cannot be used by the second packet, and in order to quickly find an available free packet cache block when a new packet arrives, the switch uses a free memory linked list to store all unused packet cache blocks.
II, free memory linked list (FreeList):
in the initialization stage of the switch system, the switch packet cache engine puts all the packet cache blocks into the idle memory linked list to obtain an ordered linked list with a length of N, as shown in fig. 3.
When a new data packet arrives at the switch, the message cache engine takes out 1 or more data packet cache blocks from the head of the table of the idle memory linked list for storing the data packet. When the data packet is sent, the memory of the corresponding data packet cache block is released, and the released memory is placed at the tail of the queue of the idle memory linked list. When the free memory linked list is empty, it indicates that the switch does not have available free data packet cache blocks to use, and the newly received data packet can be directly discarded because the data packet cannot be cached.
The free memory linked list has a head pointer (Header PTR) to point to this Queue (Queue) and the Queue link list memory for the first packet, as shown in FIG. 4.
III, unsent message queue:
the message cache engine stores unsent messages by using unsent message queues, and the message cache engine is composed of M queues according to the priorities of the messages, and each queue stores messages with the same priority. The data structure used by the Queue is the same as that of the free memory Queue in fig. 4, see that the head pointer is also used to point to this Queue and the Queue link list memory of the first data packet. As shown in FIG. 5, multiple queues use an array of pointers to hold the head pointers of M queues.
And after a new message is acquired from the free memory list to the data packet cache block, deleting the data packet cache block from the head of the free memory queue, performing queue mapping operation, and inserting the head of the unsent queue. And after the message is sent, deleting the corresponding data packet cache block from the tail part of the unsent queue and inserting the data packet cache block into the head part of the idle memory queue.
Referring to fig. 6, the sending scheduling process of the unsent packet queue adopts an SP + WDRR (SP: Strict Priority, Strict Priority; WDRR: Weighted differential Round Robin) mode, as shown in fig. 6. And the SP scheduling preferentially sends the packets in the queue with higher priority according to the sequence from high priority to low priority, and then sends the packets in the queue with lower priority when the queue with higher priority is empty.
WDRR is a weighted scheduling based on message bytes, the algorithm is based on two variables: quota (quota) and balance (credit counter), quota representing weight, in bytes, are configurable parameters. The balance is used for representing the accumulation and consumption of quota, is a state parameter and is not configurable. In the initial state, the balance of each queue is equal to the quota, when the queue sends a message, the number of bytes of the message is subtracted from the balance, and when the balance is lower than 0, the scheduling of the queue is stopped. All queues are replenished with quota when they stop scheduling. The weight N ranges from 0 to 127, where N represents quota (N × MTU _ QUANTA) bytes, where (MTU _ QUANTA is 2K) and N is 0 represents strict priority.
In the process of strictly performing according to the above two scheduling rules, when the following occurs:
the high priority queue always has packets, and when the packets are sent continuously, the packets in the low priority queue rarely get a chance to send the packets, and at the moment, the unsent queue with low priority always increases the length. Two problems arise here:
(1) the low priority queue will continue to buffer because it has no chance to send, and will occupy a large amount of buffer. Because all queues are of a common packet buffer block, at this time, the low priority queue may exhaust the packet buffer block, and although the high priority queue is sending packets all the time, a new packet may still have no packet buffer block available, resulting in packet loss.
(2) Most of the existing networks are TCP/IP applications, many of the applications have timeliness, a low-priority queue stores some very old packets which are sent out by chance, and the actual significance is not achieved, and the packets are discarded at an application layer, so that the waste of network resources is caused.
