Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. The components of embodiments of the present invention generally described and illustrated in the figures herein may be arranged and designed in a wide variety of different configurations.
Thus, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention, presented in the figures, is not intended to limit the scope of the invention, as claimed, but is merely representative of selected embodiments of the invention. 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 invention.
Some embodiments of the invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below and the features of the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) technology plays an important role in modern networks. Modern networks are large in scale, complex in function, diverse in application mode and explosive in user number, while traditional network services are provided through dedicated hardware, and are expensive and difficult to manage and maintain. The NFV technology decouples software functions and special hardware equipment, uses a general server as a bottom layer physical resource, reduces the cost of network services, and simultaneously, the realization based on software also enables the deployment of the network functions to be more flexible, the management to be more convenient and faster, and the optimization of a transmission mode to be possible.
Deployment of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) is a key area of NFV technology research. Deployment of VNFs requires that the manager collect network state information from nodes in the network and base the deployment decision on this. The network state information is mainly the service distribution of various network services on the network topology and the links. The main influencing factors for VNF deployment are therefore the network topology and the traffic distribution of the users. In order to facilitate processing, an existing VNF deployment algorithm generally assumes that traffic distribution of users is uniform, so that a VNF deployment problem can be converted into a VNF problem based on a network topology without considering the traffic distribution problem, and VNF node positions are designed and deployed based on the topology.
In the prior art, a VNF deployment method is commonly used for deploying VNFs based on a shortest path, or for deploying VNFs based on node physical performance, and the like, wherein when a VNF is deployed based on a shortest path in a large network, if traffic suddenly increases in the network, the deployment manner of local optimization may cause a local network to be paralyzed and affect the overall performance of the network, resulting in a large amount of link transmission and VNF processing delay; if the method of deploying VNFs based on node physical performance is used when the physical resources of the nodes are abundant, VNFs may be concentrated on a small portion of server nodes, so that a portion of traffic flow has to pass through a long path to be routed to a high-performance server node in the VNF set for processing, resulting in a high transmission delay.
As can be seen from the above description, the existing VNF deployment algorithm generally assumes that user traffic distribution in a network is uniform, and the method of selecting a deployment location based on a shortest path and the method of selecting a deployment location based on a physical property of a node also have a local effectiveness problem and a deployment centralization problem, respectively, and cannot fully utilize network resources. In view of the above, embodiments of the present invention provide a VNF deployment method based on non-uniform services, so as to alleviate the technical problems mentioned above.
Example one
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a VNF deployment method based on non-uniform services according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, the method specifically includes the following steps:
and step S102, acquiring network topology information and SFC strategy information of a network to be optimized.
Specifically, in order to guide an SDN (Software Defined Network) controller to make a reasonable resource management scheme and meet the requirements of modern Network users, in the embodiment of the present invention, when VNF deployment is performed, Network topology information and SFC policy information of a Network to be optimized need to be obtained first, where the Network topology information includes: the total resource amount of each server node, the time delay information of each link, the flow packet length of each link and the average packet arrival rate of each link.
When determining network topology information, an SDN controller firstly sends query requests to all nodes in a network to be optimized, and then the SDN controller can acquire the state (available state or unavailable state) of each server node, the available port of each server node, the total resource amount of each server node, the delay information of each link, the flow packet length of each link and the average packet arrival rate of each link according to the response information of the server nodes; the packet length is the data packet length, and for a data stream, the packet length is generally fixed and can be directly obtained from a receiving end server node; the packet arrival rate, i.e., the number of data packets arriving per unit time, may be the number of data packet arrivals in a period of time divided by the length of time.
The SFC (Service Function Chain) is a VNF sequence (traversal policy) customized according to a user traffic demand, and the SFC policy information of the network to be optimized represents demand information of a user for performing VNF deployment on the network to be optimized, that is, the user traffic needs to traverse a series of VNF instances in the network to be optimized in a predefined order to be processed, and then reaches a destination port.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the SFC policy information includes: the set of SFC policies and the resource requirements of any VNF instance in each SFC policy. The SFC policy set is a set representing all SFC policies, each SFC policy is a VNF sequence having a predefined traversal order, the detailed information of each SFC policy can be obtained from response information returned by a source server node of the SFC policy, the detailed information of the SFC policy includes the resource demand of each VNF instance in the SFC policy besides the VNF traversal order, and the SFC policy information can be obtained by integrating the response information of the source server nodes of all the SFC policies.
And step S104, determining the service intensity of each link and the weighted intermediate centrality of each server node based on the flow packet length of the link and the average packet arrival rate of the link.
The Betweeness Centricity (BC) is an index commonly used for measuring centricity, and refers to a ratio of the number of paths passing through a server node (hereinafter referred to as a node) in the shortest paths between any two points in a network to the total number of the shortest paths between any two points. The larger the intermediary centrality of the server node is, the higher the service coverage of the node in the network is, that is, most of the data stream needs to propagate through the node, and the larger the influence of the node in the whole network is, that is, the network service deployed here will affect the performance of a large number of other server nodes in the network.
After the network topology information of the network to be optimized is obtained, the service strength of each link and the weighted intermediary centrality of each server node can be determined according to the flow packet length of the link and the average packet arrival rate of the link. In the embodiment of the invention, the service strength of the link is related to the flow packet length and the average packet arrival rate of the link; the weighted intermediary centrality of the server node is used for reflecting the network service coverage degree of the server node, and on the basis of the intermediary centrality of the server node, the service strength of the server node and the link is added as the weight of each link state, so that the influence of the difference of the load data flow among different links on VNF deployment is avoided, and the VNF deployment is guided by the more accurate network service coverage degree of the server node, so that the method has stronger universality on a network environment.
And step S106, determining all selectable deployment schemes of the SFC strategy set based on preset constraint conditions.
After obtaining the SFC policy information and the network topology information of the network to be optimized, the embodiment of the present invention further needs to determine all selectable deployment schemes of the SFC policy set according to a preset constraint condition, where each deployment scheme corresponds to a VNF deployment mode of each SFC policy in the SFC policy set, and the VNF deployment mode includes selection of a server node and all link information of a path; wherein the preset constraint condition comprises: the VNF instances in all the SFC policies deploy corresponding server nodes, and the total amount of resources of any server node is greater than or equal to the sum of the resource demands of the VNF instances deployed thereon.
Generally, SFC strategy information, network topology information and preset constraint conditions are simulated through matlab, and all feasible solutions obtained represent all selectable deployment schemes. The embodiment of the invention does not specifically limit the method for determining the selectable deployment scheme, and the user can select the selectable deployment scheme according to the actual situation.
And S108, performing priority ordering on all the selectable deployment schemes based on the time delay information of the link, the service strength of the link and the weighted intermediary centrality of the server node, and performing VNF deployment on the network to be optimized based on the deployment scheme corresponding to the highest priority.
After all the optional deployment schemes are obtained, priority ranking is performed on all the optional deployment schemes by combining the delay information of the links, the service strength of the links and the weighted intermediary centrality of the server nodes, for example, ranking can be performed by means of scoring on each optional deployment scheme, the advantages and the disadvantages of the deployment schemes are determined according to the scores, the priorities of the deployment schemes are further obtained, and finally VNF deployment is performed on the network to be optimized according to the deployment scheme corresponding to the highest priority.
According to the VNF deployment method based on the non-uniform service, after the network topology information and the SFC strategy information of a network to be optimized are obtained, and all selectable deployment schemes of the SFC strategy set are determined according to the preset constraint conditions, aiming at the characteristic of dynamic change of network loads, under the scene that link service distribution is non-uniform, besides link time delay, the service strength of a link and the weighted intermediary centrality of a server node are introduced into a deployment decision, so that the adverse effect of non-uniform distribution of different link services on the effectiveness of a deployment result is avoided, and the universality of the VNF deployment method to different network environments is improved.
The VNF deployment method based on non-uniform services provided in the embodiment of the present invention is briefly described above, and related method steps involved in the VNF deployment method are specifically described below.
In an optional implementation manner, in the step S104, determining the service strength of each link and the weighted intermediary centrality of each server node based on the traffic packet length of the link and the average packet arrival rate of the link specifically includes the following steps:
step S1041, based on the formula
Figure P_210622114409020_020684001
The traffic strength of each link is determined.
Specifically, as can be seen from the foregoing description, the traffic strength of each link is related to the traffic packet length and average packet arrival rate of the link, and in the embodiment of the present invention, the formula is specifically used

to representThe average packet arrival rate of the link r,

indicating the traffic strength of link r.
Step S1042, determining the weighted intermediary centrality of each server node based on the service intensity of the link and the network topology of the network to be optimized.
After the service strengths of all links in the network to be optimized are calculated by using the formula provided in step S1041, the weighted intermediary centrality of each server node can be further determined according to the network topology of the network to be optimized and the service strengths of all links.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 2, in the step S1042, the determining the weighted intermediary centrality of each server node based on the service strength of the link and the network topology of the network to be optimized specifically includes the following steps:
step S10421, determining a shortest path set between the first server node and the second server node and a target path subset in the shortest path set based on the network topology of the network to be optimized.
The weighted mediation level is an improvement based on the mediation level, and the mediation level of any server node can be expressed as

In order to calculate the weighted intermediary centrality of each server node, the shortest path set between a first server node and a second server node and a target path subset in the shortest path set need to be determined according to the network topology structure of the network to be optimized; the target path subset is a path set passing through a target server node; for a first server node i and a second server node j,

The method provided in the foregoing can be used to calculate the weighted intermediary centrality of all server nodes in the network to be optimized and the traffic intensity of each link, and in order to select the optimal deployment method from the selectable deployment schemes, it is also necessary to prioritize all the selectable deployment schemes using the above parameters.
In an optional implementation, as shown in fig. 3, in the step S108, the prioritizing all the optional deployment schemes based on the delay information of the link, the service strength of the link, and the weighted intermediary centrality of the server node specifically includes the following steps:
step S1081, obtaining a time period of the link flow statistics average.
Step S1082, determining a network topology equivalence factor of each link based on the time period and the traffic intensity of each link.
Because the information quantity of the link service intensity in the network is huge and is independent of the network topology, the processing difficulty is high, and in order to reduce the processing complexity, the embodiment of the invention normalizes the link service intensity into the average link service intensity to obtain the equivalent factor of the network topology structure of the uneven service, and weights the existing network topology by using the equivalent factor to convert the difference of the service intensity into the weighting property of the network topology model.
In order to calculate the network topology equivalent factor of each link, firstly, a time period of statistical average of link flow is acquired, and then the network topology equivalent factor of a target link is calculated according to the time period and the service intensity of the target link, wherein the target link represents any link in a network to be optimized.
In an optional embodiment, the determining the network topology equivalence factor of each link based on the time period and the traffic intensity of each link specifically includes the following:
based on the formula
Figure P_210622114409735_735521001
Determining a network topology structure equivalent factor of each link; wherein the content of the first and second substances,
Figure P_210622114409766_766264002

represents t0Time neighbor server node n1And n2Traffic strength of the link between, t1Time starting point, t, representing statistical link traffic intensity2Time end point representing statistical link traffic intensity, T = T2-t1Representing the time period over which the link traffic is statistically averaged.
The embodiment of the invention does not specifically limit the value of T, and a user can set T according to actual requirements0The method includes that the time when an SDN controller receives an instruction for VNF deployment of a network to be optimized is represented, and if a time factor is introduced into the service strength of a link and the flow packet length of the link is a fixed value, the average packet arrival rate of the link should also take a value under the corresponding time factor.
Step S1083, determining the path delay of each link after the network topology weighted conversion is performed on the link based on the network topology equivalent factor of each link and the delay information of each link.
Network topology in obtaining each linkAfter the structural equivalence factor is captured, the embodiment of the invention utilizes the formula
Figure P_210622114409875_875851001
Calculating the path time delay of each link after network topology weighted conversion; wherein the content of the first and second substances,
Figure P_210622114409906_906967002
representing neighbor server node n1And n2The path delay of the link between the two nodes after the weighted conversion of the network topology,
Figure P_210622114409945_945906003
representing neighbor server node n1And n2The path delay of the link between without network topology weighted translation,
Figure P_210622114409970_970436004
representing the network topology equivalence factor of the link between the neighbor server nodes n1 and n 2.
By using the methods provided in the above steps S1081 to S1083, the path delay after performing network topology weighted transformation on each link in the network to be optimized can be calculated.
Step S1084, all the selectable deployment schemes are prioritized based on the path delay after the weighted conversion of the network topology is performed on each link and the weighted intermediary centrality of each server node.
According to the definitions of the path delay and the weighted intermediary centrality, the smaller the path delay, the better the deployment scheme, and the higher the weighted intermediary centrality of the server node used in the scheme, the better. Therefore, after the path delay of each link in the network to be optimized after the network topology weighted conversion is performed and the weighted intermediary centrality of each server node in the network to be optimized are obtained, the quality of each optional deployment scheme can be quantified through the data, and the priorities of all the optional deployment schemes can be sorted. The embodiment of the invention does not specifically limit the quality quantification means, and a user can set according to actual requirements as long as the method can meet the influence trend (forward influence and reverse influence) of the path delay and the weighted intermediary centrality on the quality of the deployment scheme.
In an optional embodiment, in step S1084, the priority ranking is performed on all the optional deployment schemes based on the path delay after the weighted conversion of the network topology is performed on each link and the weighted intermediary centrality of each server node, which specifically includes the following steps:
step S10841, based on the formula
Figure P_210622114410000_000718001
A deployment score for the target alternative deployment scenario is determined.
Specifically, the embodiment of the present invention calculates the deployment score of the target alternative deployment scenario by using the above formula, where C represents the total number of SFC policies in the SFC policy set,
Figure P_210622114410047_047990001
indicating the number of VNF instances in the kth SFC policy,
Figure P_210622114410079_079288002
representing a server node deployed by an ith VNF instance in a kth SFC policy

The weighted mean centrality of the network system,
Figure P_210622114410266_266713007
a deployment score representing a target alternative deployment scenario.
The deployment scores of all the selectable deployment schemes can be calculated by using the above formula, and the expression of the deployment scores shows that the smaller the path delay is, the fewer the deployment scores are when the weighted intermediaries of the server nodes used in the deployment schemes are the same; under the condition of the same path delay, the larger the weighted mediation degree of the server nodes used in the deployment scheme is, the less the deployment score is. From the above analysis, it can be seen that alternative deployment scenarios with lower deployment scores are superior.
Step S10842, prioritizing all of the alternative deployment scenarios based on their deployment scores.
The lower the deployment score is, the better the deployment score is, when all the optional deployment schemes are prioritized, the lower the deployment score is, the highest the deployment scheme priority is, and so on, all the optional deployment schemes are prioritized, and VNF deployment is performed on the network to be optimized according to the deployment scheme corresponding to the highest priority, thereby completing VNF deployment optimization of the network to be optimized.
The existing VNF deployment method is limited by the assumption of uniform network user service distribution, and the effectiveness of the deployment result is seriously influenced by the dynamic change of network load under the scene of uneven link service flow distribution. According to the VNF deployment method based on the non-uniform service, provided by the embodiment of the invention, aiming at the characteristic of dynamic change of network load, under the scene of non-uniform distribution of link service, the service intensity of a link and the weighted intermediary center degree of a server node are introduced into a deployment decision, so that the adverse effect of non-uniform distribution of different link service on the effectiveness of a deployment result is avoided, and the universality of the VNF deployment method on different network environments is improved. In addition, the method of the invention also introduces the equivalent factor of the network topology structure of the uneven service, converts the uneven distribution of the user service into the weighting of the network topology model, decouples the mutually coupled network static topology and the link dynamic service distribution, decomposes and converts the problems into the mutually independent flow service distribution conversion problem and the network topology analysis problem, simplifies the analysis difficulty of the network model and reduces the processing complexity of the algorithm.
