Description

SPAN capable of customizing application data stream and load balancing system and method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of network application data stream delivery control, in particular to a SPAN capable of customizing an application data stream and a load balancing system and method thereof.
Background
The role of a Switch Port Analyzer (SPAN) is mainly to provide application data flow to a certain network Analyzer. SPAN is typically used to send a copy of application data packets seen on one port to a network monitoring device on another port on a two-layer network device. This is typically used for intrusion detection systems that require monitoring of network traffic, such as for supporting application data flow program performance management, passive probing or actual user monitoring techniques, etc.
The alias of the switch port analyzer is called a port Mirroring (port Mirroring), and the function of the switch port analyzer is to forward data traffic of one or more source ports to a certain designated port on a switch or a router to realize monitoring on a network, and the designated port may be referred to as a "SPAN port" or a "Mirroring port". Under the condition of not seriously influencing the normal throughput of the source port, the monitoring and analysis of the network flow can be carried out through the mirror image port. The mirror image function is used in the enterprise, so that the application data flow in the enterprise can be well monitored and managed, and when the network fails, the failure can be quickly positioned.
Fig. 1 is a block diagram of a SPAN system in the prior art, in which an application data stream is sent to a network monitoring device through a switch and a SPAN port, and the monitored application data stream and its copy are provided internally by the switch. When the switch needs to have SPAN characteristics, such as artificially copying the unicast packets of client a to the sniffer port, in this relationship diagram, the sniffer is connected to a port configured to receive a copy of each packet sent by client a. This port is called a SPAN port. In the SPAN system in the prior art, an application data stream receiving module, a conventional filtering module and a sending module are installed inside a switch, wherein the conventional filtering module forwards all application data stream copies, and the conventional filtering module realizes the SPAN system operation by receiving the services of a configuration module, a data structure module and a display module.
The existing SPAN technology has the following problems: 1. the monitoring of the client application data flow is complete and can not be selected or customized, namely, the system forwards all flow copies and sends the flow copies to the monitoring equipment no matter whether the application data flow needs to be monitored or not, when the direction of the application data flow needing to be monitored is not single, the filtering workload is multiplied, thus not only causing burden to network bandwidth resources, but also bringing unnecessary working pressure to the network monitoring work, and causing low working efficiency; 2. the prior art only supports two-layer deployment of network monitoring equipment, that is, the whole application data stream interaction is completed in two layers of OSI (Open System Interconnection Open communication System) 7 layer protocol, and can only be used on two-layer network equipment, but does not support three-layer deployment, mainly because three-layer deployment SPAN requires IP address configuration to complete the whole data stream interaction in three layers of OSI7 layer protocol, which is not favorable for flexible configuration of network System equipment, and is difficult to realize load balance of application data stream duplicate transmission and network monitoring equipment selection.

1) The application data streams to be monitored are transmitted to the network monitoring device in a balanced manner,
2) The application data stream DUP to be monitored is directed to all network monitoring devices.
In order to realize the purpose of the invention, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:

The customization condition and configuration module is used for setting and filtering the application data flow meeting the direction condition.
The customization condition and configuration module sets the application data flow meeting the quintuple filtering condition.
A load balancing system of SPAN system capable of customizing application data stream is formed by connecting the SPAN system capable of customizing application data stream and load balancing equipment, wherein
The application data flow sending module comprises an application data flow message algorithm and a configuration identification module, and when the message algorithm is configured to LB, the application data flow copies are sent to a plurality of network monitoring devices in a balanced manner; when the message algorithm is configured as a DUP, a copy of the application data stream is sent to all network monitoring devices.
The client is a client set consisting of a plurality of application data streams, and converts the client information into corresponding quintuple data to be sent to a conventional filtering module.
The network monitoring device end is a set of a plurality of network monitoring devices and is used for uniformly sending one or more application data streams to be monitored and copies thereof to a plurality of appointed network monitoring devices or sending one or more application data streams to all appointed network monitoring devices.

Detailed Description
In the following description, numerous technical details are set forth in order to provide a better understanding of the present application. However, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details and with various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments.
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 2, the SPAN system capable of customizing application data stream according to the present invention is composed of a client 400, a SPAN module 100, a corresponding connection server 200, and a network monitoring device 300; the SPAN module comprises an application data stream receiving module 110, an application data stream copy sending module 160, a conventional filtering module 120, a data structure module 130, a customized condition and configuration module 140 and a display module 150, wherein a condition filtering module 121 is inserted between the conventional filtering module and the data structure module, and the output of the condition filtering module sends the customized monitored application data stream copy to the network monitoring equipment through the sending module.
The application data stream receiving module is called as a receiving module for short: the system is used for receiving network data packets sent by the client and is also a data source of the conventional filtering module. According to the special scene requirement, the application data stream receiving module can configure a promiscuous mode and a non-promiscuous mode, a two-layer deployment mode configures the promiscuous mode, and a three-layer deployment mode configures the non-promiscuous mode.
The application data stream sending module is called as a sending module for short: the system is used for realizing the sending of the application data stream and the copy thereof meeting the customized condition, wherein the system can comprise an application data stream message algorithm and a configuration identification module, and when the message algorithm is configured to LB (load balancing), the forwarded application data stream copy is sent to a plurality of network monitoring devices in a balanced manner; when the message algorithm is configured as a DUP (duplicate), the application data stream is duplicated on all network monitoring devices.
The conventional filtering module filters all application data stream copies and forwards the application data stream copies; the condition filter module inserted between the conventional filter module and the data structure module conditionally forwards the application data stream and the copy thereof to the network monitoring device according to the data given by the customization condition and the configuration module, for example, the customization condition and configuration module may set a copy of the application data stream satisfying the direction condition to be filtered to the network monitoring device, or may set a copy of the application data stream satisfying the quintuple filter condition to be filtered to the network monitoring device. The condition filtering module and the conventional filtering module form a filtering module. The five-tuple includes source IP address, source port, destination IP address, destination port and transport layer protocol. The custom monitored application data stream data needs to be converted into fixed quintuple data, that is, one or more pieces of monitored application data stream data are required, each should have fixed quintuple data, especially a destination IP address and a destination port, otherwise, the custom condition filtering of the application data stream cannot be realized.
The customization condition and configuration module is used for customizing and configuring quintuple data of the monitored application data flow, the data flow direction and a received physical interface; and configuring the MAC address and the transmitted physical interface of the network monitoring device. If there is no restriction on a certain item of the five tuple data of the monitored application data stream, all zeros may be configured, for example: source IP address, source port zero, etc.
Or customizing the condition and configuring a plurality of application data streams to form a filter set A, and customizing the condition and configuring a plurality of network monitoring devices to form a set B; in the B set, load balancing and DUP rules of a plurality of network monitoring devices can be realized through customized conditions and configurations; LB or DUP rules are set in the customization condition and configuration module, and the client end set and the network monitoring equipment set are associated by using the strategy. The display module is used for displaying the static customization and the configuration filtering condition and displaying the dynamic statistical information of the application data stream.
The data structure module converts the user configuration information into a data structure convenient for storage, and simultaneously serves a conventional filtering module and a conditional filtering module.
A load balancing system of a SPAN system capable of customizing application data streams is formed by connecting the SPAN system capable of customizing application data streams with load balancing equipment.
The client is a client set composed of a plurality of application data streams, conditions are customized, the client information is configured and converted into fixed quintuple data, and the fixed quintuple data is sent to the condition filtering module.
The network monitoring device side is a set of a plurality of network monitoring devices and is used for uniformly sending one or more copies of the application data streams to be monitored to a specified one or more network monitoring devices and sending one or more application data streams to all the specified network monitoring devices through the customization condition and configuration module.
LB or DUP rules are set in the custom conditions and configuration module, and the client set and the network monitoring device set are associated by the strategy.
As shown in fig. 3, the application data stream copy sending module is configured to send a copy of an application data stream to a network monitoring device for customized monitoring. The customized monitored application data flow copy is identified by a message, for example, whether an algorithm for sending the message is an LB (load balance) or DUP (Dual-purpose protocol), and if the algorithm is an LB (load balance) message, the message is sent to each network monitoring device of the same type in a balanced manner; if it is a DUP (duplicate) message, the message is sent to all the network monitoring devices. When the customized and monitored application data flow duplicate message is an LB message, the source IP address and the destination IP address in the quintuple may be configured (e.g., hashed) to implement SPAN module configuration. The load balancing algorithm may support HASH source IP + destination IP or HASH source port + destination port. Other algorithms may also be added as desired.
The customization condition and configuration module sets and filters the application data flow copies meeting the direction condition.
The customization condition and configuration module sets an application data stream copy meeting the quintuple filtering condition.
As shown in fig. 4, a SPAN method for customizing application data stream is implemented by the following steps:
receiving application data flow, checking whether the message is legal or not and whether a TCP or UDP message or not, and if not, directly entering a service processing flow; if yes, continue to
Step two, judging whether a filtering condition is met, if not, judging that the application data flow is not customized and monitored, and directly sending the application data flow to a service for processing; if yes, determining the application data stream to be monitored in a customized mode, and then
And step three, sending the network data flow customized and monitored to service processing, simultaneously making a network data flow copy customized and monitored, and sending the network data flow copy customized and monitored to network monitoring equipment.
The filtering condition is a directional filtering condition.
The filtration conditions are quintuple filtration conditions.
The service module in the flow chart of the method is the processing of three-layer to seven-layer services by the APV equipment. For example, SLB (server load balancing), NAT (Network Address Translation), LLB (Link load balance), and the like.

example four, client application data stream 401 is mirrored to network monitoring devices 301 and 302; and traffic sharing between 301 and 302 is achieved.
And fifthly, configuring customized network monitoring on the application data stream of the existing SSL interrupt, wherein the network monitoring equipment is deployed by a bypass, the balance of clear text traffic is realized and is transmitted to the network monitoring equipment, the influence on the main service is reduced to the minimum, and the normal use of the main service is not influenced even if the equipment deployed by the bypass fails.
As shown in fig. 5, in this network architecture, the network security device is set to L2 mode (with the function of two-layer switching), for example, an APV series application delivery controller manufactured by Hua Yao (china) technologies ltd, which integrates ingress and egress nodes.
