Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of multicast data stream, in particular to an optimization method for forwarding multicast data stream.
Background
Currently, the operation of the igmp proxy under Linux depends on an mroute module in Linux kernel, and the flow of the igmp proxy is as follows:
the igmp proxy user process firstly creates an igmp raw socket (igmp original socket) for receiving an igmp packet, and simultaneously activates an mroute function in a Linux kernel through MRT _ INIT.
And 2, the igmp proxy user process creates a VIF virtual network device in the linux kernel through MRT _ ADD _ VIF, and then continuously monitors the igmp raw socket.
3. When receiving a join group message sent by a host on a downlink interface from an igmp raw socket, if the host is the first host in the network, the igmp proxy creates a new multicast routing table to record the multicast group, and simultaneously starts an uplink interface to send the join group message upwards.
4. When the upstream interface receives the data stream of the group, the igmp proxy adds the multicast routing forwarding item of the group, and the Linux kernel forwards the multicast data stream according to the multicast routing forwarding item.
5. When receiving a leave group message sent by a host on a downlink interface from an igmp raw socket, if the host is the last host in the network, the igmp proxy deletes the multicast routing table, deletes a multicast routing forwarding item in a linux kernel, and starts an uplink interface to send the leave group message upwards.
6. When receiving general group query and specific group query messages sent by an uplink interface from an igmp raw socket, the igmp proxy searches a multicast routing table to see whether a multicast group exists, and responds to the multicast query of a server if the multicast group exists.
Forwarding of the multicast data stream of the igmp proxy under the normal linux is to determine an interface from which the multicast data stream should be sent by searching a corresponding multicast route forwarding item at the ip layer. Therefore, forwarding must be processed by filtering of each hook function of the netfilter, routing of the ip layer and the like, and forwarding efficiency is affected.
The method of the invention uses a processing function handle _ multicast _ frame _ hook for registering the multicast data stream in a processing function __ nertif _ receive _ skb _ core for receiving the data packet by linux kernel, and finds the outgoing interface of the multicast data stream according to the corresponding binding relationship between the multicast group and the outgoing interface in the function, thereby directly forwarding the multicast data stream from the corresponding outgoing interface at the inlet. Therefore, the processing flow of the multicast data stream can be simplified, and the forwarding efficiency of the multicast data stream is improved.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide an optimization method for multicast data stream forwarding, which can reduce the processing of multicast data streams in linux kernel when a large number of multicast data streams needing to be forwarded exist in linux kernel, thereby improving the forwarding efficiency of the multicast data streams under linux kernel and solving the problems provided in the background art.
In order to achieve the purpose, the invention provides the following technical scheme:
an optimization method for multicast data stream forwarding specifically comprises the following steps:
(1) firstly, creating and registering a linux kernel module gcmulticast, wherein the module is used for maintaining the corresponding binding relationship between a multicast group and an outgoing interface and providing a processing function handle _ multicast _ frame _ hook for a registered multicast data stream.
The module provides a corresponding interface for reading and writing the binding relation corresponding to the multicast group and the output interface, and the interface is opened to a user space through a proc file system and is provided for a user space process igmp proxy to use.
(2) Under linux, when a multicast data stream arrives, linux kernel sends a message to igmp proxy, and igmp proxy ADDs a multicast routing forwarding item to linux kernel through MRT _ ADD _ MFC when receiving the multicast data stream arrival message.
And adding the multicast routing forwarding item, and adding the binding relationship between the multicast group and the corresponding output interface into the kernel through a proc interface provided by the kernel module gcmulticast.
When the igmp proxy receives a leave group message sent by a host on a downlink interface, if the host is the last host in the networking, the igmp proxy deletes the multicast routing table, and meanwhile, deletes a multicast routing forwarding item in the linux kernel through the MRT _ DEL _ MFC. And deleting the binding relation between the multicast group and the corresponding output interface from the kernel through a proc interface provided by the kernel module gcmulticast while deleting the multicast routing forwarding item.
(3) The function handle _ multicast _ frame _ hook for processing the multicast data stream is registered in the processing function __, new _ receive _ skb _ core, which receives the packet in the linux kernel. The handle _ multicast _ frame _ hook is implemented in a linux kernel module gcmulticast, the function filters the multicast data packet according to the destination address of the data packet, and if the multicast data packet is not the multicast data packet, the function returns directly.
Then, searching a binding relation between the multicast group and a corresponding output interface according to the destination address of the multicast data packet, and if the corresponding output interface is found, directly sending the data packet out from the output interface without executing the subsequent receiving process; if the outgoing interface is not found, the function directly returns to continue executing the subsequent receiving process.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the advantages that:
1. the method provided by the invention can improve the forwarding efficiency of the multicast data stream in the linux kernel.
2. Under the condition that no special hardware is used for realizing hardware forwarding of the multicast data stream, the forwarding of the multicast data stream is optimized on a software level, and the processing flow of the multicast data stream in linux kernel is simplified.

Detailed Description
The technical solution of the present patent will be described in further detail with reference to the following embodiments.
Currently, multicast forwarding realized through the igmp proxy under linux is to maintain a multicast routing table in the igmp proxy, and when a multicast data stream arrives, a multicast routing forwarding table entry is added to linux kernel through the igmp proxy, so that the multicast data stream is forwarded through a multicast routing forwarding item in linux kernel.
An optimization method for multicast data stream forwarding specifically comprises the following steps:
step 1: as shown in FIG. 1, a kernel module gcmulticast is created first; gcmulticast is used for maintaining the binding relationship between the multicast group and the output interface under linux kernel, and the data structure for binding is as follows:
#define MAX_OUT_IF 4
#define IFNAMSIZ 16
typedef struct gcGroupBindInterface_s
{
unsigned int group；
char if_name[MAX_OUT_IF][IFNAMSIZ]；
struct list_head list；
}gcGroupBindInterface_t；
group: representing a multicast group; IF _ name represents an egress interface, and the maximum number of egress interfaces that the same group can support is defined by the macro MAX _ OUT _ IF.
Step 2: the gcmulticast kernel module firstly initializes a multicast group and output interface binding relation list g _ group, and then initializes a corresponding proc interface for reading and writing the multicast group and output interface binding relation. When a multicast data stream arrives, the igmp proxy calls a corresponding proc interface to add a binding relationship between a multicast group and an output interface to gcmulticast while adding a multicast route forwarding item. And dynamically allocating a gcGroupBindInterface _ t structure in the gcmulticast to store the binding relationship, and simultaneously inserting the dynamically allocated gcGroupBindInterface _ t structure into a g _ group list.
And step 3: when the igmp proxy receives a leave group message sent by a host on a downlink interface, if the host is the last host in the networking, the igmp proxy calls a corresponding proc interface to delete the binding relationship between the multicast group and the exit interface in gcmulticast while deleting the multicast routing forwarding item in linux kernel. And searching a corresponding gcGroupBindInterface _ t structure according to the corresponding multicast group in the gcmulticast, deleting the structure from the g _ group list, and releasing a corresponding memory.
And 4, step 4: the gcmulticast kernel module provides a function handle _ multicast _ frame _ hook for processing multicast data streams, which is registered in __ nertif _ receive _ skb _ core. The flow of processing for multicast data streams is shown in fig. 2. The function firstly judges whether the destination address of the received data packet is a multicast address, and if not, the function directly returns to 0; if the multicast address is the reserved multicast address, then judging whether the multicast address is the reserved multicast address, and if so, directly returning to 0; and if not, inquiring a corresponding outgoing interface from the g _ group list according to the destination address of the data packet, if the corresponding outgoing interface is found, sending the data packet out from the corresponding outgoing interface and returning the function to 1, and if the corresponding outgoing interface cannot be found, directly returning to 0. __ the return value of handle _ multicast _ frame _ hook is determined to determine whether the packet continues to be received.
And 5: when the gcmulticast kernel module is logout, the corresponding proc interface is deleted firstly, then the g _ group list is traversed, the binding relationship between all multicast groups and the output interface is deleted, and the corresponding memory is released at the same time.
Although the preferred embodiments of the present patent have been described in detail, the present patent is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present patent within the knowledge of those skilled in the art.
