It should be noted that: like reference numbers and letters refer to like items in the following figures, and thus, once an item is defined in one figure, further discussion thereof is not required in subsequent figures.
Fig. 1 is a flow diagram of a traffic forwarding method according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.
As shown in fig. 1, the traffic forwarding method includes steps 102 to 106.
In step 102, a control plane device of a vBRAS establishes a first routing table entry and a plurality of second routing table entries corresponding one-to-one to a plurality of forwarding plane devices of the vBRAS.
Here, the first routing table entries include first routing information of the first user, and each of the second routing table entries includes second routing information of the second user.
For example, the first routing information and the second routing information may include a destination address, a netmask, an output interface, a next hop address, and the like.
In step 104, the control plane device issues the first routing table entry to each forwarding plane device of the multiple forwarding plane devices.
Here, each forwarding plane device is capable of forwarding traffic from the first user according to the first routing information after receiving the first routing entry.
In step 106, the control plane device issues each second routing table entry to the forwarding plane device corresponding to the second routing table entry.
Here, after receiving the corresponding second routing table entry, each forwarding plane device can forward the traffic of the second user in the second routing table entry according to the second routing information in the second routing table entry.
In some embodiments, the first user comprises a first portion of users. The traffic of the first part of users is forwarded by a first forwarding plane device of the plurality of forwarding plane devices. And under the condition that the first forwarding plane equipment fails, the control plane equipment sends an indication message to a second forwarding plane equipment in the multiple forwarding plane equipment, so that the traffic of the first part of users is forwarded by the second forwarding plane equipment.
Because the time required for the control plane device to send the indication message to the forwarding plane device is much shorter than the time required for the control plane device to send the first routing information of the first part of users to the forwarding plane device, the fault response speed is greatly increased.
In the above embodiment, the control plane device of the vrabs differentially establishes, for the first user and the second user, the first routing table entry and the plurality of second routing table entries corresponding to the plurality of forwarding plane devices one to one. On one hand, by issuing the second routing table entry to the corresponding forwarding plane device, the consumption of hardware resources of the forwarding plane device can be reduced, and the resource utilization rate and the session connection quantity of the forwarding plane device can be improved. On the other hand, the first routing table entry is issued to each forwarding plane device, so that under the condition that one forwarding plane device fails, the control plane device does not need to issue the first routing table entry to other forwarding plane devices, the failure response speed can be improved, and the first user cannot perceive flow interruption. Therefore, the user experience of the first user can be guaranteed, and the satisfaction degree of the first user can be improved.
Fig. 2 is a flow chart of a traffic forwarding method according to further embodiments of the present disclosure.
As shown in fig. 2, before step 102 to step 106 in fig. 1, the traffic forwarding method further includes step 202 to step 204.
In step 202, for a plurality of users accessing a vbars, a characteristic parameter of each user is determined based on the characteristic information of the user.
In step 204, the user with the characteristic parameter larger than the preset threshold value in the plurality of users is determined as the first user.
Some specific embodiments of determining the characteristic parameters of each user will be given below.
In some embodiments, the characteristic information of each user may include first characteristic sub-information relating to a fault experienced by the user.
In some embodiments, the first characteristic sub-information of each user may include a number of total failures experienced by the user between a first time and a second time after the first time. The characteristic parameter of each user increases as the number of total failures experienced by the user between the first and second moments in time increases.
For example, between the first time and the second time, the number of total failures experienced by the user 1 is 2, and the number of total failures experienced by the user 2 is 5, and then the characteristic parameter of the user 1 is smaller than that of the user 2.
In this way, by determining the user with the characteristic parameter greater than the preset threshold as the first user, the user experience of the user with more failures can be guaranteed, and thus the satisfaction of the user can be improved.
In some embodiments, the first characteristic sub-information of each user may include a third time instant at which each fault experienced between the first time instant and the second time instant occurs. The characteristic parameter of each user may decrease as the time interval between the third time instant and the second time instant increases.
In some embodiments, the second time may be a time at which the determination of the first user is started.
For example, between the first time and the second time, the number of all failures experienced by the user 3 and the user 4 is 1. The time interval between the third moment and the second moment of occurrence of the fault experienced by the user 3 is 10 minutes, and the time interval between the third moment and the second moment of occurrence of the fault experienced by the user 4 is 20 minutes, then the characteristic parameter of the user 3 is greater than the characteristic parameter of the user 4.
In this way, by determining the user whose characteristic parameter is greater than the preset threshold as the first user, it is possible to avoid that the user who has recently experienced the failure experiences the flow interruption again due to the equipment failure in a short time. Therefore, the user experience of the part of users can be guaranteed, and the satisfaction degree of the part of users is improved.
In some embodiments, the first characteristic sub-information of each user may include the number of total failures experienced by the user between the first time and a second time after the first time, and also include a third time at which each failure experienced between the first time and the second time occurred.
Therefore, the user with the characteristic parameter larger than the preset threshold value is determined as the first user, so that the user experience of the user with more faults can be guaranteed, and the user experience of the user who has recently experienced faults can also be guaranteed.
For example, in the case where the feature information of each user includes only the above-described first feature sub-information, the feature parameter of each user may be determined based on the following expression:
Figure BDA0003001183600000091
wherein M is a characteristic parameter of the user, n is the number of times of all faults experienced by the user between the first time and the second time, t n The time interval between the third time and the second time for each fault occurrence.
The following description will take, as an example, the user 1 who has experienced 2 failures between the first time and the second time. Assuming that the time interval between the third time and the second time of the first fault occurrence is 5 days, and the time interval between the third time and the second time of the second fault occurrence is 2 days, the characteristic parameter M of the user 5 may be determined to be
Figure BDA0003001183600000101
It should be understood that the above is merely exemplary and that t is n The unit of (a) is expressed as a day. In application, t n The unit of (a) may also be other various time units. For a plurality of users accessing the vbars, it is only necessary to ensure that the same time unit is used in determining the characteristic parameter of each user.
In other embodiments, the characteristic information of each user may include a characteristic value indicating the importance of the user. The feature value of each user may increase as the importance of the user increases. It should be understood that the user's characteristic values may embody user value.
For example, the value range of the feature value may be set to (1, 10), and then the feature value of the user with higher importance is closer to 10.
Therefore, the user with the characteristic parameter larger than the preset threshold value is determined as the first user, the user experience of the user with high importance can be guaranteed, and the satisfaction degree of the part of users is improved.
In some embodiments, the feature value of each user is determined based on second feature sub-information related to the importance of the user. The second characteristic sub information of each subscriber may include at least one of a subscriber type and a charging method.
In terms of user types, for example, the user types may include "personal" and "business". The feature value of a user of the user type "business" may be larger than the feature value of a user of the user type "personal".
As for the charging means, for example, the charging means may include a charging price. The characteristic value of the user with a higher charging price may be greater than the characteristic value of the user with a lower charging price.
In still other embodiments, the feature information of each user may include the first feature sub-information and the feature value.
Therefore, the user with the characteristic parameter larger than the preset threshold value is determined as the first user, so that the user experience of the user who has experienced the fault can be guaranteed, and the user experience of the user with high importance can also be guaranteed.
For example, in the case where the feature information of each user includes the above-described first feature sub information and the above-described feature value, the feature parameter of each user may be determined based on the following expression:
Figure BDA0003001183600000111
where M is a characteristic parameter of the user, n is the number of total failures experienced by the user between a first time and a second time after the first time, t n For the time interval between the third moment and the second moment of each fault occurrence, V isThe characteristic value of the user.
In some embodiments, the first user is determined by a Software Defined Network (SDN) controller. That is, the above steps 202 to 204 may be performed by the SDN controller. As such, real-time determination and updating of the first user may be enabled depending on the high computational power of the SDN controller.
For example, the control plane device may send feature information of a plurality of users accessing the vbars to the SDN controller, so that the SDN controller performs the above steps 202 and 204. The SDN controller may then return the determination of the first user obtained from step 204 to the control plane device to cause the control plane device to perform steps 102 to 106.
For another example, the control plane device may establish an initial routing table entry for a plurality of subscribers accessing the vbrs. The initial routing table entry includes routing information for a plurality of users. The control plane device may then send feature information of the plurality of users to the SDN controller. The SDN controller may perform steps 202 and 204 to determine a first user of the plurality of users and return the determination of the first user to the control plane device. And the control plane equipment establishes a first routing table item based on the returned determination result, and removes the first routing information of the first users from the initial routing table item, thereby obtaining a plurality of second routing table items. The control plane device then performs steps 104 through 106.
It should be appreciated that the determination of the first user may be constantly changing. For example, in the first determination result, the user 1 is not determined as the first user. In the second determination result, the user 1 may be determined as the first user.
