Description

The virtual switch and the method for virtual LAN service are provided
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of virtual switch and method that virtual LAN service is provided, belong to broadband network technology field in the data communication.
Background technology
Broadband network develops rapidly, and modern enterprise and government bodies need interconnect the computer network of a plurality of offices.Distance between these offices may be from one, two kilometer to several thousand kilometers, and the information point quantity in each place (that is: the number of computers of networking) is from several to thousands of.Typical major company need form the computer network that spreads all over the country, and the number of networked computer reaches several ten thousand.By enterprise's laying-out voluntarily, the dedicated network of building oneself separately is obviously very uneconomical, also unreasonable.Normally buy Virtual Private Network (VPN, the virtual private network) service that ISP (ISP, Internet Service Provider) provides, be used to set up the dedicated network of enterprise oneself by enterprise.
At present, Virtual Private Network VPN comprises four types:
(1) Virtual Private Dialup Network (VPDN, Virtual Private Dial Networks): the user utilizes Dial-up Network visit enterprise data center, each user obtains a privately owned address from enterprise data center, but user data can be crossed over public data network and transmits.
(2) virtual leased line (VLL, Virtual Lease Line): the simplest VPN type simulates a special line by IP tunnel between the two ends.
(3) virtual privately owned route network (VPRN, Virtual Private Routed Networks): enterprise utilizes public data network to set up the private firm's network of oneself, and the user can freely plan address between each branch of enterprise, routing policy, security mechanism etc.
(4) virtual private LAN section (VPLS, Virtual Private LAN Segment) a: local area network (LAN) that utilizes Internet to simulate.
Virtual switch (VS, virtual switch) is the functional entity that generates by configuration on the network equipment, and it can finish the function of Ethernet switch.Virtual switch is a kind of technological means that realizes virtual private network (VPN).Can mark off a plurality of virtual switches on a network equipment, each virtual switch can be realized virtual private LAN section (VPLS) business.At present, ATM and ethernet interconnect can only be crossed over by the Virtual Private Network system that utilizes virtual switch to realize, can not cross over IP network and interconnect.
One group of tables of data independently on the corresponding network equipment of each virtual switch, they comprise that virtual switch inserts channel table, virtual switch is transmitted control table, virtual switch address swap table.Wherein insert channel table and preserve the information of the data forwarding passage that belongs to this virtual switch, these information are called the port of virtual switch again.Transmit a port that control table preserves virtual switch whether can with the controlled flag of other port data intercommunications of same virtual switch.The address swap table is preserved the corresponding relation of ether address and virtual switch port.
The network equipment determines to handle the virtual switch of these data according to the port information that receives data.Look into " address swap table " at the destination address that virtual switch internal condition ethernet packet header carries and obtain outbound port information.If outbound port can with the inbound port intercommunication, then packet is forwarded to outbound port; The Address of outgoing port that does not have coupling if table look-up then can be transmitted with other ports of this inbound port intercommunication to all of this virtual switch.Each virtual switch has independently ethernet address study and function is eliminated in the address.Ethernet address that each virtual switch uses and shared system resource are to isolate mutually.Any one virtual switch all can not be subjected to the influence of other virtual switches, guarantees each Virtual Private Network safety of data.
Virtual switch is applied to the virtual private LAN section business is provided on atm device at first, so virtual switch system only has the ATM access function at first.Afterwards, virtual switch has added the function that ether inserts.Existing virtual switch system is made up of atm interface module, ether interface module and ether Switching Module.Insert for ATM, user data uses the 1483B protocol encapsulation to be input to the atm interface module, and the atm interface module is removed the 1483B encapsulation of packet, and taking-up ether bag data are given the ether Switching Module and handled.Insert for ether, user data is input to ether interface by the encapsulation of 802.Q standard and touches piece, and the ether interface module is removed the 802.Q encapsulation, and taking-up ether bag data are given the ether Switching Module and handled.In data when output,, if outbound port is an atm port, then the ether Switching Module is given the atm interface module ether bag data and is carried out sending after the 1483B encapsulation; If outbound port is the ether port, then the ether Switching Module is given ether bag data and is sent after the ether interface module encapsulates by the 802.Q standard.
At present when utilizing virtual switch to set up the virtual private LAN section, if two branches of user are connected respectively on the virtual switch that is positioned at two different network equipments, so, ATM net or Ethernet can only be crossed between these two virtual switches and interconnection could be realized.Because IP network is sought route according to the 3rd layer of information (IP address) when transmitting data.Therefore, the packet that sends from existing virtual switch system encapsulates through 1483B or 802.Q, can't be forwarded on IP network.Even encapsulation is the IP message in this packet, the IP address is the private net address of enterprises, also can't correctly be transmitted by equipment on the public network.
But because development of internet technology, the IP technology is dominate gradually, and the application of IP network and distribution are considerably beyond the ATM net.The defective that the packet that existing virtual switch sends can't be forwarded on IP network has greatly limited the development and the application of Virtual Private Network (VPN), has become the bottleneck of the market application of being badly in need of insider's solution and overcoming.
