Detailed Description
In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the following detailed description is given with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a processing method based on edge calculation, which is applied to a user data plane network function UPF instance, and includes:
In this step, the virtual IP of the target application is allocated to the target application by the edge service management and control center.
And step 12, forwarding the first data packet to a target edge service instance corresponding to the target IP according to the target IP corresponding to the application virtual IP of the target application.
In this step, the edge service management and control center configures UPF according to the virtual application IP and the application service deployment request, and sets a target IP forwarded by the virtual application IP. Different UPF instances may configure different forwarding target IPs. And the UPF forwards the first data packet of the target application to a target edge service instance matched with the application virtual IP according to a data forwarding rule set by the edge service control center.
Optionally, in the above embodiment of the present invention, before step 12, the method further includes:
receiving a data forwarding rule sent by an edge service management and control center;
wherein, the data forwarding rule comprises: applying a virtual IP forwarded target IP; or, the rule of determining the target IP forwarded by the virtual IP is applied.
The target IP is a target edge service instance IP, or the target IP is an edge service gateway IP of the target edge service instance.
In other words, the target IP is a target edge service instance IP or an edge service gateway IP targeted for application in each edge data center, and the target edge service instance IP or the edge service gateway IP of different edge data centers are different.
In the case that the target IP is an edge service gateway IP of a target edge service instance, step 12 includes:
and forwarding the first data packet to an edge service gateway identified by the edge service gateway IP according to the edge service gateway IP corresponding to the application virtual IP of the target application, so that the edge service gateway forwards the first data packet to a target edge service instance.
In the embodiment of the invention, the edge service gateway analyzes the received first data packet, acquires the application virtual IP of the first data packet, matches the application according to the application virtual IP and the port, and executes corresponding load balancing scheduling to forward the first data packet to the matched target IP.
Load balancing algorithms include round robin, random, low load priority, low response delay priority, etc., to name but a few.
The embodiment of the invention relates to three layers of IP, namely an application virtual IP, an application edge IP and an edge service instance IP:
and applying virtual IP for global identification application. Different applications have different application virtual IPs.
Application edge IP (also referred to as edge service gateway IP) is used to identify applications in the edge data center (possibly in conjunction with ports), which is the IP of a target application that is directed to a corresponding edge service gateway in a particular edge data center. The application edge IP of the same application in different edge data centers is different.

And when the target application does not have the corresponding edge service gateway, the edge service instance IP is consistent with the edge service gateway IP.
To sum up, the target application of the terminal sends data by using the virtual IP, the data plane forwarding network function UPF instance forwards the data packet to the edge service gateway corresponding to the application in the specific edge data center according to the target IP corresponding to the virtual IP, and the edge service gateway forwards the data packet to the edge service instance of the application scheduled (if there is no edge service gateway, the UPF instance forwards the data packet to the edge service instance corresponding to the application in the specific edge data center according to the target IP corresponding to the virtual IP).
