Detailed Description
It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present application may be combined with each other without conflict. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments with reference to the attached drawings.
In order to make the technical solutions better understood by those skilled in the art, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only partial embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
Example 1:

step S1, selecting a current SDN switch from all SDN switches in the hybrid network.
In this embodiment, the hybrid network includes an SDN controller, one or more SDN switches, and a non-SDN switch, where the non-SDN switch is a legacy switch, and the non-SDN switch defaults to have VLAN encapsulation, and the SDN switch establishes a connection with the SDN controller when the SDN switch is initialized to be online.
Step S2, pre-installing flow table forwarding rules to SDN switches other than the current SDN switch.
Optionally, before step S2, the method may further include:
generating a topology detection message, wherein the topology detection message comprises a destination MAC address, a source MAC address, a protocol type and a data path identifier Dpid;
the target MAC address is a broadcast address, the source MAC address is the MAC address of the current SDN switch, the corresponding value of the protocol type is a value except 0x8100, and the Dpid is the Dpid of the current SDN switch.
In this embodiment, the format of the generated topology detection packet may be as follows:
Figure BDA0002728521240000051
the value of the destination MAC address is fixed to a broadcast address, that is, 0 xfffffffffffff, the protocol type field is used to indicate that the packet is a topology detection packet, the corresponding value may be a value other than 0x8100, that is, a value different from the conventional packet protocol type is used as an identifier, and the preferred value is fixed to 0x 8899. Dpid (Datapath ID) is a data path ID of the SDN switch in the hybrid network, and is an identifier of the SDN switch. When a topology detection message constructed by the invention passes through a network with traditional switches, as the traditional switches have default VLAN division, default VLAN labels are marked on the message and the message is forwarded, and at the moment, the protocol type of the message is changed into 0x8100, so that the judgment on whether the traditional switches exist among SDN switches can be realized. 0x8100 is the default VLAN message protocol number.
In this embodiment, the flow table forwarding rule is: if the topology detection message is matched, namely the message with the destination MAC address being a broadcast address and the protocol type field being 0x8899 or 0x8100, the action of the flow table is to upload the message to the SDN controller.
Step S3, sending a topology detection packet to the current SDN switch.
Step S4, receiving a topology detection packet forwarded by an adjacent SDN switch of the current SDN switch.
In this embodiment, after receiving a topology detection message, a current SDN switch forwards the topology detection message from all ports, so that after receiving the topology detection message, an adjacent SDN switch of the current SDN switch sends the forwarded topology detection message to the SDN controller according to a pre-installed flow table forwarding rule.
Step S5, acquiring topology information of the current SDN switch according to the received topology detection packet.
Alternatively, step S5 may include:
sequentially judging whether the corresponding numerical value of the protocol type of the received topology detection message is 0x8100 or not;
if yes, judging that a non-direct connection link containing a non-SDN switch exists between the current SDN switch and an adjacent SDN switch for forwarding the topology detection message;
if not, judging that a direct link exists between the current SDN switch and an adjacent SDN switch for forwarding the topology detection message;
and analogizing in sequence until the judgment of all the received topology detection messages is completed, so as to obtain the topology information of the current SDN switch.
In this embodiment, topology detection is initiated by an administrator at an SDN controller, and the SDN controller implements detection of adjacent links of SDN switches by issuing topology detection messages to SDN switches in a hybrid network and pre-installing flow table forwarding rules in sequence, so as to complete discovery of the entire hybrid network topology, as shown in fig. 2, a current SDN switch sw1 adjacent link detection process is as follows:
step A: the SDN controller generates a topology detection message, wherein a destination MAC address is 0xFFFFFFFFFF, a source MAC address is an MAC address (MAC-1) of sw1, a protocol type field is 0x8899, and Dpid is a Dpid value (Dpid-1) of sw 1;
and B: the SDN controller pre-installs Flow table forwarding rules to other SDN switches except sw1 in the hybrid network through Flow _ mod, namely pre-installs Flow table forwarding rules to sw2, sw3 and sw4, wherein matching items of the Flow tables are destination MAC addresses and protocol type fields are 0x8899 or 0x 8100. And after the relevant messages are matched, the flow table acts as an SDN controller uploading. In order to realize automatic expiration clearing, the hard _ timeout of the flow table is set to 10, that is, after the flow table is issued, the flow table is deleted by the SDN switch after 10s no matter whether there is a matched data flow or not, and if the value is not set, the flow table can also be deleted by the controller;
and C: the SDN controller sends the topology detection message generated in the step A to a current SDN switch sw1 through a Packet-out message, and forwards the topology detection message from all ports of the sw 1;
step D: the SDN controller receives topology detection messages sent by adjacent SDN switches sw2 and sw3 of a current SDN switch sw 1;
step E: and the SDN controller acquires the topology information of the current SDN switch sw1 according to the received topology detection message.
In the embodiment, the SDN switch sw2 receives the detection message sent by the sw1, the detection message matches with the flow table entry in the sw2, that is, the destination MAC address is a broadcast address and the protocol type field is 0x8899, and the detection message is sent to the SDN controller by the sw2 through a Packet-in message. The SDN controller receives the detection message forwarded by the sw2, analyzes the detection message to obtain a protocol type field of 0x8899 and a Dpid field of the sw1, and judges that a direct link exists between the sw1 and the sw 2.
In the embodiment, the SDN switch sw3 receives the detection message sent by the sw1, the detection message matches with the flow table entry in the sw2, that is, the destination MAC address is a broadcast address and the protocol type field is 0x8100, and the detection message is sent to the SDN controller by the sw3 through a Packet-in message. And the SDN controller receives the detection message sent by the sw3, analyzes the detection message to obtain a protocol type field of 0x8100, and strips the VLAN encapsulation, wherein the obtained protocol type field is 0x8899 and the Dpid field is Dpid of the sw1, namely, the fact that a traditional switch exists between the sw1 and the sw3 is judged.
In this embodiment, through steps a to E, topology information of the current SDN switch sw1 may be finally obtained, that is, there is a direct link between sw1 and sw2, and there is a legacy switch between sw3 and sw.
And step S6, repeating the steps S1-S5 until topology information of all SDN switches in the hybrid network is obtained.
And step S7, acquiring topology information of the whole hybrid network according to the topology information of all SDN switches.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, after the topology information of the sw1 is obtained, the sw2, the sw3 and the sw4 are sequentially used as current SDN switches, and then the above steps a to E are performed, that is, the interconnection relationships of all SDN switches in the hybrid network can be obtained, so that the complete topology information of the entire hybrid network is obtained.
