Fig. 1 shows main steps of a Mesh networking traffic scheduling method in an embodiment, and referring to fig. 1, the Mesh networking traffic scheduling method includes: step S110, a forwarding module of the gateway equipment receives a control message and a data message; step S120, the forwarding module distinguishes the control message and the data message according to the flow table; step S130, the forwarding module forwards the control message to a corresponding receiving target, wherein the receiving target comprises a Mesh Controller (Mesh Controller) and a Mesh Agent (Mesh Agent) which are arranged in the gateway device; and step S140, the forwarding module forwards the data message according to the forwarding rule of the flow table.
The gateway device supports Easy Mesh protocol, which conforms to the Multi-AP _ Specification _ v1.0 Specification, using the IEEE1905.1a standard architecture. All gateway devices supporting Easy Mesh protocols can realize the Mesh networking traffic scheduling method.
In addition, networking devices, such as an Access Point (AP), a wireless router, and the like, which are hung below the gateway device also support the Easy Mesh protocol. The networking devices and the gateway devices do not need to belong to the same set of Mesh products, and Mesh networking can be realized as long as Easy Mesh protocols are supported. The receiving target also includes these networking devices.
The forwarding module is configured to forward a packet (or called a flow) passing through the gateway device, specifically including a control packet and a data packet. The control message is Mesh control flow transmitted between gateway equipment in the Mesh networking and networking equipment hung below, and the data message is internet data flow generated by user equipment accessed to the Mesh networking. When the messages are distinguished, the messages can be distinguished according to the protocol type fields in the messages, if the messages contain Easy Mesh protocol fields, the messages are identified as control messages, and if the messages do not contain Easy Mesh protocol fields, the messages are data messages.

And if the message is identified to be a data message, performing conventional data forwarding according to the flow table rule. Therefore, the control message and the data message are isolated in the gateway equipment and are transmitted in a distinguishing mode, safety and controllability are guaranteed, and flow scheduling is more efficient and flexible by using the flow table.
In one embodiment, after the forwarding module distinguishes the control packet and the data packet according to the flow table, the method further includes: the forwarding module allocates different scheduling priorities to the control message and the data message according to the flow table, so that the scheduling priority of the control message is higher than that of the data message. Therefore, the flow table distinguishes the control message from the data message, gives different QOS (Quality of service) rules to the control message and the data message, sets the priority of flow scheduling, ensures the priority of the control message, and ensures the timeliness and stability of the internal control of the Mesh networking environment.

The gateway device 200 is further provided with an external interface, which includes an Ethernet (Ethernet) port and a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) port, and is configured to monitor and transmit a packet flowing through the gateway device 200.
The arrows filled with different patterns in fig. 2 represent different types of messages. The forwarding module 210 will control the message M11When forwarding to the corresponding receiving target, if the control message M11Forwarding inside the gateway device 200 (i.e., forwarding between the Mesh controller 220 and the Mesh proxy 230), and then forwarding through the internal ports of the gateway device 200 respectively monitored by the Mesh controller 220 and the Mesh proxy 230; for example, if the Mesh controller 220 sends a control message M to the Mesh proxy 23011Then control the message M11Enters the forwarding module 210 through the internal port corresponding to the Mesh controller 220, and is then forwarded to the Mesh proxy 230 by the forwarding module 210 through the internal port corresponding to the Mesh proxy 230. If the control message M11Forwarding between the gateway device 200 and a networking device (not shown in fig. 2, refer to the arrow on the far right side of fig. 2), and then forwarding through the corresponding internal port and the external interface (Ethernet port/WLAN port) of the gateway device 200; for example, if the Mesh controller 220 sends a control message M to a network device that is hanging down11Then control the message M11Enters the forwarding module 210 through the internal port corresponding to the Mesh controller 220, and is then forwarded to the corresponding networking device by the forwarding module 210 through the Ethernet port/WLAN port.
And the data message M22Then, the Ethernet port and the WLAN port listen and perform normal data forwarding through the forwarding module 210.
The above embodiment describes a traffic scheduling process of Mesh networking. The Mesh networking process under the control of the gateway device will be specifically described below.
Firstly, a Mesh controller and a Mesh proxy are configured in gateway equipment, and automatic configuration can be realized in a software upgrading mode. The traditional gateway equipment supporting Easy Mesh protocol does not comprise a Mesh controller and a Mesh proxy, and Mesh networking and flow scheduling controlled by the gateway equipment can be realized by updating the original program of the gateway equipment and configuring the Mesh controller and the Mesh proxy in the gateway equipment without purchasing new gateway equipment. Through the mode of a Mesh controller and a Mesh proxy built in the gateway equipment, the original basic mode of controlling Mesh networking through an Easy Mesh protocol is not changed, and the transportability is strong.
When the program is updated, as long as a Mesh Controller program and a Mesh Agent program are online in a background program package of the gateway device, the background server can automatically perform software upgrade on the gateway device, and a Mesh Controller and a Mesh proxy are configured in the gateway device, so that the Mesh Controller and the Mesh proxy are respectively positioned in two isolated network spaces of the gateway device and respectively monitor two internal ports connected with a forwarding module.
In some embodiments, a software upgrade of the gateway device may also be triggered by the user. For example, a user may log in a client interface of the gateway device, perform software upgrade on the gateway device, and then the background server responds to configure the Mesh proxy and the Mesh controller in the gateway device.
With reference to the internal architecture of the gateway device 200 shown in fig. 2, when software upgrade is performed on the gateway device 200, two isolated Network spaces 200a and 200b are first created in the gateway device, and specifically, a Network NameSpace (a function provided by a Linux kernel to implement Network virtualization can be used to create a plurality of isolated Network spaces), so as to provide stable isolation capability. Programs corresponding to the Mesh controller 220 and the Mesh proxy 230 are respectively placed in the Network spaces 200a and 200b to isolate the traffic of the Mesh controller 220 and the Mesh proxy 230 by Network NameSpace.
By combining the isolation capability of Network NameSpace with the flexible scheduling and forwarding capability of an OpenFlow flow table based on an SDN technology, the scheduling control of networking flow is realized, the control message and the data message are isolated inside the gateway device 200, the safety and controllability are ensured, and the flow scheduling is more efficient and flexible.
Further, an information query interface 240 connected to the Mesh controller 220 may be further configured in the gateway device 200, and is used for querying real-time network information of the Mesh network, including networking topology, device rate, and the like. The information query interface 240 can be used for querying information through a Netlink message or an Ioctl function M33And sending a query message to the Mesh controller 220 to obtain the real-time network information of the Mesh network.
After the Mesh controller and the Mesh proxy in the gateway equipment are configured, Mesh networking can be automatically carried out, and the gateway equipment is accessed into a Mesh network.
Fig. 3 shows main steps of a Mesh networking process in an embodiment, specifically, a process of a gateway device accessing a Mesh network. As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 3, the Mesh networking process includes: step S310, the Mesh agent broadcasts a networking message carrying gateway equipment parameters; step S320, the forwarding module identifies the networking message as a control message according to the flow table; step S330, the forwarding module forwards the networking message to the Mesh controller; and step S340, the Mesh controller processes the networking message, sends a control message carrying Mesh network parameters to the Mesh proxy according to the gateway equipment parameters, and accesses the gateway equipment to the Mesh network.
The specific principle of controlling Mesh networking by the Mesh controller is the prior art, and the invention is not explained again. According to the invention, the Mesh controller is arranged in the gateway equipment and is used as a networking center for control, so that the management of Mesh networking can be centralized to the gateway side, the management and control capability of the gateway equipment is improved, the wireless function of the gateway equipment can be compatible with the Mesh networking, and the functions of synchronous configuration, roaming switching, information collection and the like of the Mesh networking are ensured.
Specifically, with reference to fig. 3, after the gateway device is connected to the Mesh network, the method further includes: step S350, the Mesh controller sends a control message carrying the wireless parameters of the Mesh network to the Mesh proxy; step S360, the Mesh agent modifies the initial wireless parameters of the gateway equipment through the wireless drive module of the gateway equipment connected with the Mesh agent according to the wireless parameters; the wireless fidelity (WIFI) parameter includes a Service Set Identifier (SSID) of the Mesh network.
Referring to fig. 2, the Mesh proxy 230 may specifically send a Netlink message/Ioctl function M to the wireless driver module 25033The WIFI parameter of the gateway equipment is modified in the mode of (1), and the functions of information synchronization and roaming networking are realized.
Therefore, the wireless capability of the gateway equipment can be fully utilized through the Mesh controller and the Mesh proxy, and the wireless function of the gateway equipment is added into the Mesh networking in a compatible mode.
The networking equipment hung below the gateway equipment is also accessed into the Mesh network in the same way. Specifically, networking equipment hung below the gateway equipment broadcasts a networking message carrying networking equipment parameters; the networking message is monitored by the Ethernet port/WLAN port of the gateway equipment and sent to the forwarding module, and then the forwarding module forwards the networking message to the Mesh controller. And the Mesh controller processes the networking message, and sends a control message carrying Mesh network parameters to the networking equipment according to the networking equipment parameters so as to access the networking equipment into the Mesh network. Subsequently, the Mesh controller sends a control message carrying the wireless parameters of the Mesh network to the networking equipment, so as to realize the functions of synchronous configuration, roaming switching and the like of the Mesh networking.
Therefore, because the gateway equipment and the networking equipment both support Easy Mesh protocol, the automatic Mesh networking of cross-manufacturers can be realized, the expansion is convenient, and special Mesh products do not need to be purchased; a Mesh controller is arranged in the gateway equipment, so that the centralized control of Mesh networking and flow scheduling is realized, the safety is improved, and cost reduction and efficiency improvement are realized; through the built-in Mesh controller and the Mesh proxy of the gateway equipment, the wireless function of the gateway equipment can be added into the Mesh networking, and the cooperative networking is realized.
