Description

Multi-controller deployment method and terminal in SD-WAN environment
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of network deployment, in particular to a multi-controller deployment method and a terminal in an SD-WAN environment.
Background
A Software Defined wide area network (SD-WAN) is a feature of applying the Software Defined network (Software Defined Network, SDN) to manage the wide area network. Compared with the traditional wide area network, the software defined wide area network can effectively reduce network cost and greatly improve network interconnection degree. Software-defined wide area networks have the characteristics of large scope and wide coverage, and existing deployment strategies with single-controller centralized control limit the flexibility and expandability of the network to a great extent, so that multi-controller deployment occurs. How to implement a logically centralized and physically decentralized multi-controller deployment is critical to the multi-controller deployment problem. In the deployment of multiple controllers, it is particularly important how QoS (Quality of Service ) of SDN is guaranteed through selection of reasonable locations. The current mainstream solution is to divide the network into a plurality of disjoint sub-domains, each of which is controlled by a controller or set of controllers. And setting targets on performances such as time delay, load balancing, deployment cost, reliability and the like to optimize the deployment scheme.
In this case, since the SD-WAN control and forwarding are decoupled from each other, all functions of the network are realized by message exchange between the controller and the switch, and thus, delay between the controller and the switch is the most academic focus as an optimization objective. The time delay mainly comprises queuing time delay, transmission time delay, propagation time delay and processing time delay, and when the network is smooth, the queuing time delay can be ignored; the transmission delay is related to the packet and port rate, typically a fixed value; the processing delay is mainly determined by the performance and load of the controller, and the propagation delay is mainly determined by the distance between nodes. Thus, in SD-WAN, delay optimization in controller deployment issues typically only considers propagation delay. The scholars Heller et al (The controller placement problem 42 (4) (2012), 473-478) that were the earliest to address the controller deployment problem mainly used the mean latency and the maximum latency as optimization targets, and adopted greedy algorithms to achieve multi-controller deployment in SDN. Literature (International Conference on Algorithms and Architectures for Parallel Processing,2015, 213-225) proposes a multi-controller deployment algorithm named NCPSO that deploys a combination of node partition and particle swarm algorithms with minimal latency as an optimization objective. WANG et al (IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management 15 (1) (2017), 344-355) propose an improved k-means algorithm with propagation delay and queuing delay as optimization targets, which iterates from one partition to a progressively increasing number of partitions to determine the controller position in each partition. None of the above algorithms achieves a lower average delay.
There are few related studies that target load balancing as an optimization. In SDN, some controllers may be in an overload or near-load state. The load condition of the controller is proportional to the number of switches associated with the controller and the number of flows that the switches can carry per second. Therefore, it is important to study how to balance the relationship among the controller load, the number of switches, and the number of streams that can be tolerated by the switches per second. Dixit et al (IEEE Symposium on Architectures for Networking and Communications Systems (ANCS 2014), 2014,17-27) propose for the first time a controller deployment mechanism in a dynamic environment, by which an overload controller can distribute its load to other idle controllers, thereby reducing the probability of controller failure due to overload.
In summary, aiming at the time delay optimization target in the deployment stage of the SDN controller, the existing scheme and the achievement are partially improved based on the clustering method. Although the method can solve some problems, the method has the defect that lower average time delay cannot be obtained, and the reason is that the randomness of the initial node leads to the clustering result and the randomness of the deployment position of the controller, and the randomness of the deployment position of the controller leads to the increase of the average time delay. Secondly, most of the existing schemes require the division number of subfields to be manually determined. In addition, under the multi-objective optimized controller deployment scheme, few documents consider the controller and switch time delay, the inter-controller time delay and the multi-controller deployment scheme under the load balancing multi-index.
