Description

Virtual router and method for realizing interconnection between SDN network and traditional IP network
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a virtual router and a method for realizing interconnection between an SDN network and a traditional IP network.
Background
The traditional network equipment is controlled individually equipment by equipment, each equipment not only needs to complete the forwarding plane function, but also needs to complete the control plane and management plane functions, and networking is completed among the equipment through interactive control signaling.
Firstly, in the traditional network, resource adjustment and control are difficult to be carried out from the perspective of the whole network in terms of network congestion control and service quality guarantee; secondly, in a forwarding mode, the traditional network equipment is basically fixed, namely, routing forwarding is carried out according to a target IP address, and comprehensive matching forwarding cannot be carried out according to each item in the MAC, the IP header and the TCP/UDP header; moreover, the traditional network equipment presents a black box mode to a network manager, the state and the running mode of the network are automatically completed by protocols carried by the network equipment, and the network manager cannot intervene at all; in addition, in terms of economic efficiency, the completion of network functions in the conventional network requires the participation of software in the equipment, and each time the new technology is applied, the equipment needs to be upgraded or replaced.
With the development and evolution of technologies, the wide application of technologies such as network virtualization, big data and cloud computing, the traditional network architecture is hard to be competent, and the SDN network comes up.
The SDN network comprises an SDN controller and an edge SDN switch, and the SDN network is mainly characterized by comprising the following aspects:
a) control and forwarding are separated;
b) centralized network control;
c) open standard programmable interfaces.
The SDN network internal networking mainly controls flow table forwarding between internal switching nodes through an SDN controller; for large-scale networks, the SDN network may be partitioned into zones, with one SDN controller controlling each zone. The whole network is interconnected through east-west interfaces of the controllers, a controller cluster is constructed, a controller with a higher level is selected, control over each controller is achieved, and full network control is completed.
At present, a traditional network is applied in a large scale, and as an emerging network, an SDN network necessarily needs to be interconnected, intercommunicated and interoperated with the existing traditional network.
In the SDN network architecture, the switch does not analyze any protocol any more, only flow table matching and forwarding are carried out, the control mode is centralized, all protocol analysis needs to be sent to the controller for analysis, and flow table issuing is unified from the controller. The SDN controller is only responsible for protocol analysis and encapsulation, and an SDN internal network adopts centralized management and control, and no interface IP address, routing protocol and the like exist in the SDN, so when the SDN needs to be communicated with the existing IP network routing equipment in a protocol layer, the SDN controller has the problems that the SDN cannot be communicated with the standard ARP protocol, routing protocol, MPLS label forwarding protocol and the like, and is difficult to be fused with the existing network for use, which is a challenge to the SDN technology in the transition period.
At present, research of the SDN technology mainly focuses on SDN internal networks, cluster application among multi-domain SDN networks and the like, and research on SDN networks and traditional network interconnection and hybrid networking is not enough.
