Description

Scheduling method and device for metadata base of operation network
Technical Field
The invention relates to a Software Defined Network (SDN) technology, in particular to a scheduling method and device of an operation Network metadata base.
Background
The SDN is a novel network architecture provided by Stanford university in America, realizes flexible control of network flow by separating a control plane and a data plane of network equipment, and provides a good platform for innovation of a network.
The SDN Controller (SDN Controller) may simultaneously implement Configuration and control on a Network Element, and the SDN Controller including a Configuration Application (Configuration Application) configures a Network Element (Network Element) located at an opposite end of a Session through a Configuration protocol Session (Configuration protocol Session).
In SDN, a Network Configuration Protocol (Network Configuration Protocol) is a common Protocol used for an SDN controller to configure a Network element, and other protocols that can be used for configuring a Network element further include a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and a Command Line Interface (CLI).
The NETCONF protocol is defined by RFC 6241 issued by the International standards organization Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in 2011, wherein four layers of the NETCONF protocol are specified; fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a NETCONF protocol layer, as shown in fig. 1, the NETCONF protocol includes a Secure Transport layer (Secure Transport), a message layer (Messages), an operation layer (Operations), and a Content layer (Content), wherein the operation layer defines a series of Operations that an SDN controller can perform on a network element, including nine Operations of get configuration < get-config >, edit configuration < edit-config >, copy configuration < copy-config >, delete configuration < delete-config >, lock < lock >, unlock < unlock >, get information < get >, close session < close-session > and force close session < kill-session >, wherein the lock < lock > operation is used for the SDN controller to lock a certain database (data) of the network element, and only the controller performing the lock operation can perform the lock session of the SDN protocol by the SDN controller during the time when the certain database of the network element is locked, modifications to the locked network element database are not possible for other SDN controllers and other configuration protocols, such as SNMP, CLI, to make any modifications to the locked network element database.
Of course, in practical applications, other configuration protocols such as SNMP and CLI may also perform a lock operation on the network element database, and similarly, once the lock operation is performed on the network element database by SNMP or CLI, only the SDN controller performing the lock operation may modify the locked network element database through the SNMP session or CLI session performing the lock operation, and no modification can be performed on the locked network element database by other SDN controllers and other configuration protocols. However, this may cause a configuration protocol or a configuration protocol session to lock a network metadata base for a long time, which may affect the operation efficiency of the entire network.
Although the SDN controller wants to lock a network metadata base that is locked by other configuration protocol sessions, it may force to close the configuration protocol session that is locked by the network metadata base by performing a forced close session < kill-session > operation, and then perform a lock < lock > operation on the network metadata base, but in this way, the forced close configuration protocol session is completely cleared, and a session needs to be re-established next time, which wastes time for establishing a session, increases network overhead, and risks losing instructions and data.

Detailed Description
So that the manner in which the features and aspects of the present invention can be understood in detail, a more particular description of the invention, briefly summarized above, may be had by reference to embodiments, some of which are illustrated in the appended drawings.
Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of an implementation flow of a scheduling method for an operation network metadata database according to an embodiment of the present invention, in the embodiment of the present invention, a main body of the operation network metadata database is a configuration application of a configuration protocol session peer, which is generally an application capable of running a configuration protocol session, such as an SDN controller or a network management application, and the method may be implemented by a network element, as shown in fig. 2, the method includes:
step 101: acquiring the type of each configuration protocol session of an operation network metadata base and the target operation priority of each configuration protocol session;
here, the network element is composed of one or more machine disks or machine frames, the network element is a network element capable of independently performing a certain transmission and/or forwarding function, and the network element is generally the smallest unit that can be monitored and managed in network management.
The configuration protocol session is a session established for a configuration application at one end of the configuration protocol session to configure a network element at the other end of the session.
The type of the configuration protocol session can be classified according to the protocol adopted by the configuration application to configure the network element, such as the configuration protocol session of the NETCONF protocol, the configuration protocol session of the SNMP and the configuration protocol session of the CLI;
the network element may obtain the type of the configuration protocol session by a signal sent to the network element when the configuration application establishes the configuration protocol session.
In addition, supporting a preemptive scheduling mode based on an operation priority is one capability of a network element, but some network elements do not support the preemptive scheduling mode based on the operation priority; therefore, before the network element obtains the type of the configuration protocol session of the operation network metadata base and the target operation priority of each configuration protocol session, the step further includes: a network element sends information that a network element database of the network element database supports a preemptive scheduling mode based on operation priority to a configuration application of each configuration protocol session opposite terminal;
meanwhile, in order to obtain the target operation priority of each configuration protocol session, the network element also instructs the configuration application of each configuration protocol session opposite end to send information containing the target operation priority of each configuration protocol session to the network element;
in the embodiment of the present invention, only if the network element database of the network element itself supports the preemptive scheduling method based on the operation priority, the corresponding information can be sent to the configuration application of each configuration protocol session opposite end and the configuration application of each configuration protocol session opposite end is instructed to send the corresponding information to itself, which is also a precondition for adopting the scheduling method of the embodiment of the present invention.
The target operation priority is an operation priority determined by the configuration application according to the expectation of the configuration protocol session, the configuration application of the opposite end of the configuration protocol session can determine the target operation priority corresponding to the configuration application according to the operation requirement of the configuration application, and sends information containing the target operation priority to the network element;
specifically, the operation priority may be represented by a binary number, and the larger the number of the operation priority is, the more priority the operation is; the number of levels of the operation priority depends on the number of bits of binary digits representing the operation priority, and if the number of bits is two, the number of levels of the operation priority is 4, and if the number of bits is three, the number of levels of the operation priority is 8; in practical applications, the operation priority is generally represented as a binary number of three bits, but in the embodiment of the present invention, for simplicity, the operation priority is represented as a natural decimal number, which may be 1 at the lowest level and 8 at the highest level.
Step 102: determining the operation priority of each configuration protocol session according to a preset determination strategy according to the type of each configuration protocol session and the target operation priority of each configuration protocol session;
here, the preset determination policy includes: determining the operation priority of each configuration protocol session according to the type of each configuration protocol session, and/or determining the operation priority of each configuration protocol session according to the target operation priority of each configuration protocol session;
specifically, the network element may determine the operation priority of each configuration protocol session only according to the type of each configuration protocol session or only according to the target operation priority of each configuration protocol session; or determining the operation priority of each configuration protocol session by combining the type of each configuration protocol session and the target operation priority of each configuration protocol session;
the method for the network element to determine the operation priority of each configuration protocol session only according to the type of each configuration protocol session may be: the network element determines a higher operation priority for the configuration protocol session executing the NETCONF protocol, determines a medium operation priority for the configuration protocol session executing the SNMP, and determines a lower operation priority for the configuration protocol session executing the CLI;
the network element only determines the operation priority of each configuration protocol session according to the target operation priority of each configuration protocol session, which is relatively simple, and can directly determine the operation priority of each configuration protocol session according to the target operation priority of each configuration protocol session, and the method is generally applicable to the condition that each configuration protocol session is of the same type;
the method for determining the operation priority of each configuration protocol session by the network element in combination with the type of each configuration protocol session and the target operation priority of each configuration protocol session may be: determining a priority coefficient for each type of configuration protocol session, for example, the priority coefficient of the configuration protocol session of the NETCONF protocol may be 3, the priority coefficient of the configuration protocol session of the SNMP may be 2, and the priority coefficient of the configuration protocol session of the CLI may be 1; then multiplying the priority coefficient of each configuration protocol session with the target operation priority of each configuration protocol session, and determining the operation priority according to the magnitude sequence of the obtained products;
and if the products of two or more than two are the same, determining the operation priority of each configuration protocol session according to the type of each configuration protocol session.
Step 103: and when the configuration protocol session applies for operating the network element database, scheduling the operation of each configuration protocol session according to the state of the network element database and the application time or the operation priority of each configuration protocol session.
Specifically, when the state of the network element database is idle, the network element schedules the operation of each configuration protocol session in sequence according to the application time point of each configuration protocol session;
and when the state of the network element database is that exclusive operation of the configuration protocol session exists, the network element schedules the operation of each configuration protocol session according to the operation priority of the first configuration protocol session which is exclusively operated and the second configuration protocol session which applies for operation.
More specifically, when the state of the network metadata base is idle, the configuration protocol session which is applied for operation first is operated first, that is, the configuration protocol session which is applied for operation first is operated first, so that the time utilization rate of the network metadata base is higher;
when the state of the network element database is exclusive operation of the configuration protocol session, the operation of each configuration protocol session needs to be scheduled according to the operation priority of the configuration protocol session which is exclusively operated and the configuration protocol session which applies for operation.
The scheduling method of the embodiment of the invention is mainly used for exclusive operation of the network element database, and the problem that one configuration protocol or configuration protocol session locks one network element database for a long time can be avoided by adopting the uniform scheduling of the embodiment of the invention; in the NETCONF protocol, the exclusive operation is locking, namely the network metadata database is firstly locked, and then the database data is modified; if the operation is a non-exclusive operation, for example, the operations of acquiring configuration < get-config >, copying configuration < copy-config > and the like in the NETCONF protocol are not the scope discussed in the embodiments of the present invention.
More specifically, when the operation priority of the first configuration protocol session is smaller than the operation priority of the second configuration protocol session, the second configuration protocol session preemptively operates the network metadata base; otherwise, the network element maintains the original operation state.
When the second configuration protocol session preemptively operates the network metadata database, the first configuration protocol session only suspends exclusive operation and is not cleared; after the second configuration protocol session releases the exclusive operation, the first configuration protocol session can continue to perform the exclusive operation according to the original progress; therefore, the whole network has higher efficiency, the network overhead is not increased, and the problem of losing instructions and data does not exist.
Further, when the operation priority of the first configuration protocol session is greater than the operation priority of the second configuration protocol session, the configuration application of the opposite end of the second configuration protocol session applies to the network element for obtaining the operation priority greater than the operation priority of the first configuration protocol session.
Therefore, when the configuration protocol session with lower operation priority has very urgent tasks to operate the network element database, the network element can be applied for obtaining the operation priority which is greater than the operation priority of the currently operated configuration protocol session again, and then the preemptive operation is carried out;
after obtaining the request of reapplication of the operation priority level for the configuration protocol session with lower operation priority level, the network element can determine whether to be determined again according to the transaction emergency degree and the operation time of the currently operating configuration protocol session;
the degree of urgency of the transaction can be generally expressed by a specific code contained in information sent by a configuration application at the opposite end of the configuration protocol session;
the operation time of the currently operating configurator protocol session may indicate whether the currently operating configurator protocol session exclusively operates the network element for a long time, because if one configurator protocol session exclusively operates one network element for a long time, it indicates that other applications which need to operate the network element may be affected, and the operation efficiency of the whole network may be affected.
Fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a scheduling apparatus for operating a network element database according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 3, the apparatus includes an obtaining module 31, a determining module 32, and a scheduling module 33; wherein,
the acquiring module 31 is configured to acquire the type of each configuration protocol session in the operation network metadata base and the target operation priority of each configuration protocol session;
the determining module 32 is configured to determine, according to the type of each configuration protocol session and the target operation priority of each configuration protocol session, the operation priority of each configuration protocol session according to a preset determining policy;
the scheduling module 33 is configured to schedule the operation of each configuration protocol session according to the state of the network element database and the application time point or the operation priority of each configuration protocol session when the configuration protocol session applies for operating the network element database.
For clarity of description, the following will respectively describe each module in detail:
the acquiring module 31 is configured to acquire the type of each configuration protocol session in the operation network metadata base and the target operation priority of each configuration protocol session;
supporting a preemptive scheduling mode based on an operation priority is one capability of a network element, but some network elements do not support the preemptive scheduling mode based on the operation priority; therefore, the apparatus further comprises a sending module 34, wherein the sending module 34 is configured to:
transmitting information that a network metadata base supports a preemptive scheduling mode based on operation priority to a configuration application of each configuration protocol session opposite terminal;
meanwhile, in order to obtain the target operation priority of each configuration protocol session, the sending module 34 is further configured to:
instruct the configuration application of each opposite end of the configuration protocol session to send information containing the target operation priority of each configuration protocol session to the obtaining module 31.
The determining module 32 is configured to determine, according to the type of each configuration protocol session and the target operation priority of each configuration protocol session, the operation priority of each configuration protocol session according to a preset determining policy;
here, the preset determination policy includes: determining the operation priority of each configuration protocol session according to the type of each configuration protocol session, and/or determining the operation priority of each configuration protocol session according to the target operation priority of each configuration protocol session;
specifically, the determining module 32 may determine the operation priority of each configuration protocol session only according to the type of each configuration protocol session or only according to the target operation priority of each configuration protocol session; the operation priority of each configuration protocol session may also be determined in combination with the type of each configuration protocol session and the target operation priority of each configuration protocol session.
The determining module 32 may determine the operation priority of each configuration protocol session only according to the type of each configuration protocol session by: the determining module 32 determines a higher operation priority for the configuration protocol session executing the NETCONF protocol, a medium operation priority for the configuration protocol session executing the SNMP, and a lower operation priority for the configuration protocol session executing the CLI;
the determining module 32 determines the operation priority of each configuration protocol session only according to the target operation priority of each configuration protocol session, which is relatively simple, and can directly determine the operation priority of each configuration protocol session according to the target operation priority of each configuration protocol session, and the method is generally applicable to the condition that each configuration protocol session is of the same type;
the determining module 32, in combination with the type of each configuration protocol session and the target operation priority of each configuration protocol session, may determine the operation priority of each configuration protocol session by: determining a priority coefficient for each type of configuration protocol session, for example, the priority coefficient of the configuration protocol session of the NETCONF protocol may be 3, the priority coefficient of the configuration protocol session of the SNMP may be 2, and the priority coefficient of the configuration protocol session of the CLI may be 1; then multiplying the priority coefficient of each configuration protocol session with the target operation priority of each configuration protocol session, and determining the operation priority according to the magnitude sequence of the obtained products;
and if the products of two or more than two are the same, determining the operation priority of each configuration protocol session according to the type of each configuration protocol session.
The scheduling module 33 is configured to schedule the operation of each configuration protocol session according to the state of the network element database and the application time point or the operation priority of each configuration protocol session when the configuration protocol session applies for operating the network element database.
When the state of the network element database is idle, the scheduling module 33 schedules the operation of each configuration protocol session in sequence according to the application time point of each configuration protocol session;
when the state of the network element database is that exclusive operation of the configuration protocol session exists, the scheduling module 33 schedules the operation of each configuration protocol session according to the operation priority of the first configuration protocol session which is exclusively operated and the second configuration protocol session which applies for operation.
The scheduling method of the embodiment of the invention is mainly used for exclusive operation of the network element database, and the problem that one configuration protocol or configuration protocol session locks one network element database for a long time can be avoided by adopting the uniform scheduling of the embodiment of the invention; in the NETCONF protocol, the exclusive operation is locking, namely the network metadata database is firstly locked, and then the database data is modified; if the operation is a non-exclusive operation, for example, the operations of acquiring configuration < get-config >, copying configuration < copy-config > and the like in the NETCONF protocol are not the scope discussed in the embodiments of the present invention.
More specifically, when the operation priority of the first configuration protocol session is smaller than the operation priority of the second configuration protocol session, the second configuration protocol session preemptively operates the network metadata base; otherwise, the scheduling module 33 maintains the original operation state.
When the second configuration protocol session preemptively operates the network metadata database, the first configuration protocol session only suspends exclusive operation and is not cleared; after the second configuration protocol session releases the exclusive operation, the configuration protocol session of the first configuration protocol session can continue to perform the exclusive operation following the original progress; therefore, the whole network has higher efficiency, the network overhead is not increased, and the problem of losing instructions and data does not exist.
Further, when the operation priority of the first configuration protocol session is greater than the operation priority of the second configuration protocol session, the configuration application of the opposite end of the second configuration protocol session applies to the network element for obtaining the operation priority greater than the operation priority of the first configuration protocol session.
Therefore, when the configuration protocol session with lower operation priority has very urgent tasks to operate the network element database, the network element can be applied for obtaining the operation priority which is greater than the operation priority of the currently operated configuration protocol session again, and then the preemptive operation is carried out;
after obtaining the request of reapplication of the operation priority level for the configuration protocol session with lower operation priority level, the network element can determine whether to be determined again according to the transaction emergency degree and the operation time of the currently operating configuration protocol session;
the degree of urgency of the transaction can be generally expressed by a specific code contained in information sent by a configuration application at the opposite end of the configuration protocol session;
the operation time of the currently operating configurator protocol session may indicate whether the currently operating configurator protocol session exclusively operates the network element for a long time, because if one configurator protocol session exclusively operates one network element for a long time, it indicates that other applications which need to operate the network element may be affected, and the operation efficiency of the whole network may be affected.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the obtaining module 31, the determining module 32, the scheduling module 33, and the sending module 34 may be implemented by a Central Processing Unit (CPU), a Microprocessor (MPU), a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), or a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) located in a network element.
In order to more clearly describe the embodiments of the present invention, the following explains the embodiments of the present invention by taking a real application scenario as an example.
Example one
In this embodiment, each configuration protocol session executes a NETCONF protocol, and belongs to the same type of configuration protocol session, so that the network element only needs to determine an operation priority according to a target operation priority of each controller. For brevity, the operation priority is simply referred to as priority.
Fig. 4 is a schematic flowchart of an implementation process of a scheduling method for a running configuration database of a lock network element according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4, the process includes:
step 401: the network element 1 informs the controller 1, the controller 2 and the controller 3 that the preemptive locking based on priority is supported;
in this embodiment, the controller 1, the controller 2, and the controller 3 are all configuration applications of a configuration protocol session opposite terminal, and are generally SDN controllers, which are controllers for short;
the lock is a lock < lock > operation in the configuration protocol, which is an exclusive operation used to modify the database.
Step 402: each controller advertises its target priority to network element 1;
specifically, the target priority of the controller 1 is 1, the target priority of the controller 2 is 2, and the target priority of the controller 3 is 3.
Step 403: the network element 1 determines the priority for each configuration protocol session according to the received target priority sent by the controller and informs the controller of the priority;
since the controllers are of the same type, the network element 1 determines the priority according to the target priority of each controller, that is, the priority of the controller 1 is 1, the priority of the controller 2 is 2, and the priority of the controller 3 is 3.
Step 404: the controller 1 locks the running configuration database of the network element 1;
here, it is assumed that the time at which the controller 1 applies for locking the running configuration database of the network element 1 is the earliest, and therefore the running configuration database of the network element 1 is locked by the controller 1.
Step 405: the operation configuration database of the network element 1 is locked by the session 1, the network element 1 informs the controller 2 and the controller 3 that the operation configuration database of the network element 1 is in a locked state by the session 1, and the priority of the currently locked session 1 is 1;
the session 1 is a configuration protocol session established between the controller 1 and the network element 1, and so on, and the session 2 is a configuration protocol session established between the controller 2 and the network element 1; session 3 is a configuration protocol session established by controller 3 with network element 1.
Step 406: when the controller 2 applies for locking the operation configuration database of the network element 1, the priority 1 of the currently locked session 1 is lower than the priority 2 of the session 2 between the controller 2 and the network element 1, and the controller 2 executes preemptive locking;
it is assumed here that the controller 2 requests to lock the running configuration database of the network element 1 later than the controller 1 but earlier than the controller 3.
Step 407: preemptively locking the running configuration database of the network element 1 by the session 2, informing the controller 1 and the controller 3 that the running configuration database of the network element 1 is in a preemptively locked state by the session 2 by the network element 1, and setting the priority of the session 2 of the current preemptively locking to be 2;
then, the controller 3 may also execute preemptive locking by determining the priority of the currently locked session, which is not described in detail herein.

In this embodiment, the configuration protocol sessions executed by the controller 4 are of different types; the preset determination strategy is that the network element determines the operation priority of each configuration protocol session only according to the type of each configuration protocol session. For brevity, the operation priority is simply referred to as priority.
Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of an implementation flow of a scheduling method for a candidate configuration database of a secondary locked network element according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 5, the flow includes:
step 501: the network element 2 informs the controllers 4, 5 and 6 that the preemptive locking based on the priority is supported;
here, the controller 4, the controller 5, and the controller 6 are all configuration applications of a configuration protocol session opposite terminal, and are generally SDN controllers, which are controllers for short;
in this embodiment, the controller 4 is an SDN controller that executes an SNMP, and the controller 5 and the controller 6 are SDN controllers that execute a NETCONF protocol;
the lock is a lock < lock > operation in the configuration protocol, which is an exclusive operation used to modify the database.
Step 502: each controller advertises its target priority to network element 2;
specifically, the target priority of the controller 4 is 4, the target priority of the controller 5 is 2, and the target priority of the controller 6 is 3.
Step 503: the network element 2 determines the priority for each configuration protocol session according to the protocol type of the configuration protocol session and the received target priority sent by the controller and informs the controller of the priority;
since the priority of executing the configuration protocol session of the SNMP is generally lower than the priority of executing the configuration protocol session of the NETCONF protocol, the network element 2 determines a lower priority to the controller 4 and a higher priority to the controller 5 and the controller 6;
specifically, the priority of the controller 4 is 1, the priority of the controller 5 is 2, and the priority of the controller 6 is 3.
Step 504: the controller 4 locks the candidate configuration database of the network element 2;
here, it is assumed that the time at which the controller 4 applies for locking the candidate configuration database of the network element 2 is the earliest, and therefore the candidate configuration database of the network element 2 is locked by the controller 4.
Step 505: the candidate configuration database of the network element 2 is locked by the session 1, the network element 2 informs the controller 5 and the controller 6 that the candidate configuration database of the network element 2 is in a locked state by the session 1, and the priority of the currently locked session 1 is 1;
the session 1 is a configuration protocol session established between the controller 4 and the network element 2, and so on, and the session 2 is a configuration protocol session established between the controller 5 and the network element 2; session 3 is a configuration protocol session established by controller 6 with network element 2.
Step 506: when the controller 5 applies for locking the candidate configuration database of the network element 2, the priority 1 of the currently locked session 1 is lower than the priority 2 of the session 2 between the controller 5 and the network element, and the controller 5 executes preemptive locking;
it is assumed here that the controller 5 applies for locking the candidate configuration database of the network element 2 later than the controller 4 but earlier than the controller 6.
Step 507: the candidate configuration database of the network element 2 is preemptively locked by the session 2, the network element 2 informs the controller 4 and the controller 6 that the candidate configuration database of the network element 2 is in a preemptively locked state by the session 2, and the priority of the session 2 which is subjected to the current preemptive locking is 2;
then, the controller 6 may also execute preemptive locking by determining the priority of the currently locked session, which is not described in detail herein.
