Description

Bandwidth allocation device for overload network switching and related network switching device
Technical Field
The present invention relates to an overload network switch, and more particularly, to a bandwidth allocation device and a network switch for dynamically allocating bandwidth based on hardware temperature and bandwidth utilization status.
Background
A network switch is a piece of hardware used to provide information exchange and data forwarding services to networked devices. With the current trend, networking devices have increasingly larger output/input bandwidths, and thus network switches will inevitably increase core routing bandwidth in order to meet overall bandwidth requirements. However, increasing the core routing bandwidth requires increasing the system operating frequency, which causes timing convergence problems in design. Therefore, in the prior art, there is an overload (overload) design, based on which a network switch has a core routing bandwidth smaller than the overall bandwidth of the served network devices, and serves a plurality of network devices on a port through a bandwidth allocation mechanism.
In an overloaded network switch, ports are classified into a line speed (line speed) port, and an overloaded (overload) port. For guaranteed line speed ports, the system will allocate enough core routing slots (time slots) to serve the networking devices on these ports, guaranteeing that its bandwidth requirements are fully met; for overloaded ports, the system will use the remaining core routing slots, as well as the idle slots, to service the networking devices on those ports.
Since the overloaded port can only use the bandwidth left after the line speed port is used, how to efficiently allocate the bandwidth becomes an important design issue for the overloaded network switch. The design concept of the existing overload network switch is to use the bandwidth of the core route as much as possible, thereby achieving the best efficiency. However, increasing the operating frequency to maximize the performance may increase the power consumption of the system, which may cause the hardware temperature to be too high, thereby causing the chip to malfunction or even be damaged, and finally affecting the stability of the system.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above, the present invention provides a bandwidth allocation mechanism for an overloaded network switch service, which allows an overloaded network switch to increase the utilization rate of the core routing bandwidth by referring to the actual transmission speed limit setting in addition to considering the maximum data transmission speed of the networking device when allocating the bandwidth. In addition, the bandwidth allocation mechanism of the present invention also considers the system power, and determines whether to adjust the core routing bandwidth according to the hardware temperature or voltage variation, thereby reducing the risk of overheating and achieving the balance between power consumption and performance.

Detailed Description
Please refer to fig. 1, which is an architecture diagram of a network switching device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The network switching device 100 has a plurality of ports 11, a plurality of devices 10 are connected to the network switching device 100 through the ports 11, and the network switching device 100 can provide services of information exchange and data transmission for the devices 10. The device 10 may be any electronic device with network communication capability, such as a personal computer, a notebook computer, a printer, an internet phone, and a network storage device.
The network switching apparatus 100 belongs to an overload architecture, and the port 11 includes a line speed (line rate) port and an overload port. The network switching device 100 schedules the bandwidth of the core route to ensure that the data transmission speed of each device 10 on the wire speed port 11 can reach the maximum output/input bandwidth; further, the network switching device 100 allocates the remaining core routing bandwidth to the devices 10 on the overloaded ports 11. The network switch 100 comprises a plurality of receiving end physical layer circuits 102, a plurality of transmitting end media access control layer circuits 104, an input bandwidth allocation device 103 (e.g., ingress Over Bandwidth Manager (OBM)), an output bandwidth allocation device 105 (e.g., egress OBM), and a routing device 108. Each port 11 is coupled to at least one receiving mac layer circuit 102 and at least one transmitting mac layer circuit 104. The receiving mac layer circuit 102 is configured to receive data units (e.g., packets) from a source device 10 and perform mac layer related processing thereon, and the sending mac layer circuit 104 receives packets routed by the routing device 108, performs mac layer related processing thereon, and forwards the packets to a destination device 10. The router 108 mainly provides packet routing function, i.e. directs the received packet to a specific sender mac layer 104 according to the target address recorded in the packet, so that the target device 10 can receive the packet.
In order to ensure that the devices 10 on the line-speed ports 11 can use their maximum output/input bandwidth and properly allocate the remaining core routing bandwidth to the devices 10 on the overloaded ports 11, the network switching device 100 needs to perform bandwidth management through the input bandwidth allocation means 103. The input bandwidth allocation device 103 determines which port 11 of the packet transmitted by the device 10 can be sent to the routing device 108 in each time slot for routing. Furthermore, the output bandwidth allocation device 105 can control the timing of the transmitting end MAC layer circuit 104 reading the packets.
Fig. 2 shows an architecture diagram of a bandwidth allocation apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, and the buffer management apparatus shown in the drawing can be used to implement the input bandwidth allocation apparatus 103 or the output bandwidth allocation apparatus 105 in fig. 1. As shown, the bandwidth allocation apparatus 200 includes a buffer device (buffer) 210, a main scheduler (main scheduler) 220, an overload scheduler (overload scheduler) 230, a multiplexer 240, a detection device 250, and a rate measurement device 260. The buffer device 210 is used for buffering the packets transmitted by the mac layer circuit 102 at the receiving end. Where packets are received from device 10 on guaranteed line-rate port 11, buffer 210 may forward such packets directly to main scheduler 220 (or may buffer such packets via a small buffer memory). In addition, when the packet comes from the device 10 on the overloaded port 11, the device 10 on the overloaded port 11 has a lower priority to use the core routing bandwidth, so the buffering device 210 will buffer such packet and wait for the overloaded scheduler 230 to process it. In addition, the buffer 210 also monitors the transmission status of the PORT 11 to generate a PORT EMPTY status (PORT _ EMPTY) message PORT _ EMPTY to notify the master scheduler 220 and the overload scheduler 230. When a port 11 does not transmit a packet to the buffer 210, the buffer 210 notifies the master scheduler 220 and the overload scheduler 230 to allocate the slot to the device 10 on the other port 11.
The purpose of the master scheduler 220 is to allocate bandwidth to the guaranteed line-speed ports 11, which primarily sets weights according to the maximum output/input bandwidth of the devices 10 on each guaranteed line-speed port 11, thereby allocating the use of core routing bandwidth by the guaranteed line-speed ports 11. Further, the master scheduler 220 schedules packets to be transmitted to the router device 108 such that the packets are scheduled for transmission in each time slot. On the other hand, the master scheduler 220 also limits the core routing bandwidth usage of the devices 10 on the overloaded port 11 according to the overall bandwidth requirement of the guaranteed wire-speed port 11. When the bandwidth allocation apparatus 200 serves the device 10 on the guaranteed linear speed port 11, the multiplexer 240 is controlled by the master scheduler 220 via a multiplexer control signal SEL, and the multiplexer 240 outputs the packet provided by the master scheduler 220 via the multiplexer control signal SEL, so that the routing device 108 can route the packet transmitted by the device 10 on the guaranteed linear speed port 11 instead. However, if the master scheduler 220 knows that the device 10 on the guaranteed linear speed PORT 11 currently allocated to the timeslot does not have a packet transmission requirement at a certain time point according to the PORT idle status message PORT _ EMPTY, it may make use of the timeslot and give up the core routing bandwidth at this time to the device 10 on the overloaded PORT 11. At this time, the multiplexer control signal SEL allows the multiplexer 240 to output the packet provided by the overload scheduler 230.
Overload scheduler 230 functions to allocate the remaining core routing bandwidth to devices on overloaded port 11. Basically, the overload scheduler 230 also assigns the use of core routing bandwidth by the overloaded ports 11 by setting weights according to the maximum output/input bandwidth of the devices 10 on each of the overloaded ports 11. Further, the overload scheduler 230 schedules packets to be transmitted to the router 108 such that the packets are transmitted in order in the time slots that they are allowed to use.
In order to improve the utilization of the core routing bandwidth, the bandwidth allocation mechanism of the present invention further refers to the data transmission speed information RATE _ INFO generated by the RATE measurement device 260 for each port 11 and the transmission speed LIMIT RATE _ LIMIT performed by the system for each port 11 to perform bandwidth allocation. In order to avoid that a certain device 10 occupies too much bandwidth, the network switching device 100 may add a specific RATE LIMIT to each port 11, and when the data transmission speed of the port reaches the transmission speed LIMIT RATE _ LIMIT, the network switching device 100 does not provide the packet switching service for the port 11.
In the bandwidth allocation mechanism of the present invention, master scheduler 220 relinquishes core routing bandwidth to overload scheduler 230 by controlling multiplexer 240 whenever one of the following conditions is met:
1. ensuring that the wire speed PORT 11 has no packet transmission requirement (refer to PORT idle status message PORT _ EMPTY);
2. securing the data transmission speed of the line-speed port 11 up to the default transmission RATE LIMIT (reference data transmission speed information RATE _ INFO and transmission speed LIMIT RATE _ LIMIT)
On the other hand, the overload scheduler 230 will schedule packets transmitted by a particular overloaded port 11 only if the following conditions are met:
1. the overloaded PORT 11 has a packet transfer requirement (refer to PORT idle status message PORT _ EMPTY);
2. the data transmission speed of the overloaded port 11 has not reached the default transmission RATE LIMIT (the reference data transmission speed information RATE _ INFO and the transmission speed LIMIT RATE _ LIMIT)
In addition, in the bandwidth allocation mechanism of the present invention, when the master scheduler 220 allocates the core routing bandwidth to the device 10 of the overloaded port 11, the power-related detection result is also included. The main scheduler 220 determines whether to allocate the core routing bandwidth to the overloaded port 11 according to the POWER _ INFO detection result output by the detection device 250. In embodiments of the present invention, the detection device 250 may be any type of temperature sensor or any type of voltage detector. When the detecting device 250 is a temperature sensor, it can detect whether the hardware temperature (e.g., the hardware temperature of the network switching device 100, the bandwidth allocating device 200, or the overloaded port 11) is too high. Also, when the main scheduler 220 determines that the temperature is too high according to the detection result POWER _ INFO, the main scheduler 220 may reduce the core routing bandwidth allocated to the overloaded port 11 by controlling the multiplexer 240. In one embodiment, the hardware temperature may be divided into several levels, and the higher the temperature level, the greater the master scheduler 220 may reduce the core routing bandwidth usage by devices 10 on the overloaded rank port 11. For example, the master scheduler 220 may adjust the packet output of the overload scheduler 230 for a period of time by controlling the multiplexer 240 based on the temperature level.
Furthermore, the rise of the hardware temperature is related to the load borne by the network switching device 100. The larger the load, the lower the supply voltage may be. Therefore, when the detecting device 250 is a voltage sensor, the detecting device 250 can determine whether the hardware is in an overload state by measuring an IR drop (IR drop) of the power voltage. When the main scheduler 220 determines that the hardware is overloaded according to the detection result POWER _ INFO, the main scheduler 220 may reduce the core routing bandwidth allocated to the overloaded port 11 by controlling the multiplexer 240. In one embodiment, the IR drop may also be divided into several levels, with the higher the level, the master scheduler 220 may reduce the core routing bandwidth usage by devices 10 on the overloaded rank port 11 to a greater extent. For example, the master scheduler 220 may adjust the packet output of the overload scheduler 230 for a period of time by controlling the multiplexer 240 based on the temperature level.
In a conventional overload architecture, the core bandwidth is often allocated by generating weights based only on the maximum output/input bandwidth of each overloaded port. However, in practical application, users often have additional restrictions on ports, such as: a transmission rate limit. Therefore, in the bandwidth allocation mechanism of the present invention, the bandwidth allocation is performed while considering the maximum output/input bandwidth of the overloaded port individually and the actual data transmission speed status. Therefore, the bandwidth allocation mechanism of the present invention can increase the chance of guaranteeing the wire speed port to give way of the core routing bandwidth to the overloaded port. And further limiting the overload ports which can participate in scheduling, thereby more reasonably allocating the core routing bandwidth, and ensuring that the overload ports which really need to be used can be allocated with more sufficient bandwidth, thereby improving the core routing utilization rate.
On the other hand, under the consideration of superior performance, the traditional overload architecture usually only uses the bandwidth of the core route, and allocates the residual bandwidth after the wire speed port is used to the overload port as much as possible. In contrast, the present invention further considers the impact of high dynamic power consumption that may result from increased core routing utilization, such as hardware overheating. Therefore, the bandwidth allocation mechanism of the present invention further dynamically adjusts the usage of the overloaded port for the core routing bandwidth through power-related detection, thereby reducing power consumption and temperature to ensure system stability.
The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and all equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the claims of the present invention should be covered by the present invention.
