Embodiment
In the prior art, table look-up when realizing route querying,, have that routing forwarding efficient is low, the problem of routing forwarding poor performance though have the low advantage of cost when routing device adopts the HASH algorithm to carry out RAM; When routing device adopts TCAM to realize route querying,, there is the problem that routing list capacity is low, the routing device cost is high though have the high advantage of routing table look-up efficient.If two kinds of method for searching route in the prior art are combined, a kind of high forwarding performance that had not only had a TCAM is provided, but also has the method for searching route of lower cost, then can be when overcoming the routing forwarding poor performance, overcome routing device cost height, shortcoming that the routing list capacity restriction is big.
The present invention proposes a kind of fast routing method based on CAM and the compression of route table items index information, high speed processing ability by utilizing CAM such as TCAM device, simultaneously in conjunction with the data organization method of route table items index information, realized at a high speed, big capacity, method for searching route cheaply.
Below technical scheme provided by the invention is described in detail.
In technical scheme of the present invention, can store more than one route table items index information in the unit of CAM such as TCAM, promptly the quantity of the route table items index information of storing in CAM unit should be greater than 1, as storing an integer route table items index information in the CAM unit greater than 1, certainly, the quantity of the route table items index information of storing in CAM unit also can be for greater than 1 non-integer.
When storing greater than 1 integer route table items index information in the unit of CAM, routing device should compress each route table items index information, makes the route table items index information after a CAM cell width can be held a plurality of compressions.When needing to store in the CAM unit, should compress the route table items index information according to the cell width of CAM greater than the route table items index information after 1 the integer compression.Like this, when needs carry out route to the data message, the route table items index information that routing device is at first tackled in the data message compresses processing, and the route table items index information in the data message after will compressing and the route table items index information among the CAM mate; Then, routing device carries out routing forwarding according to the index information that matches to this data message.
In actual application, the route table items index information before the compression is generally: VPNID and IP address.Like this, the routing device among the present invention need compress processing to VPNID and IP address, concrete compression process can for: with the address information of the address information boil down to predetermined bit width of the predetermined interval of IP address.
Because the distribution of IP address is clocklike, promptly on network the network segment quantity of the category-A address of a routing node and category-B address seldom, the variation of IP address mainly concentrates on the low 16bit of back.Like this, the address information of the predetermined interval of IP address can be the category-A address in the IP address or category-B address, be routing device compressing when handling, can preferentially compress, as the IP address of high 16bit in the IP address is compressed to category-A address in the IP address or category-B address.In carrying out compression process, concrete compression algorithm can be provided with according to the concrete condition of network, high 16bit as the IP address in the system only represents the situation that the n kind is different, numeral 1 to n then is set, different high 16bit in the corresponding IP of the different digital address, in when compression, compress according to above-mentioned compression algorithm and to get final product.
When needing to store in the CAM unit greater than the route table items index information after 1 the integer compression, above-mentioned predetermined bit width should be determined according to the cell width among the CAM, as when needing to deposit two route table items index informations in the CAM unit, then the width of a route table items index information is 1/2nd of a CAM cell width, like this, when determining predetermined bit width, the width of the route table items index information before the compression need be compared with 1/2nd of CAM cell width, the more lack bit with the width of determining the route table items index information that compression is preceding than the CAM cell width, setting the CAM cell width is the K1 bit, the width of the route table items index information before the compression is than the bit of K2 more than 1/2nd of CAM cell width, at this moment, predetermined bit width is: K1 and K2's is poor.
After the route table items index information of storing in to CAM compresses storage, routing device is receiving need carry out the data message of routing forwarding the time, should adopt same compression method that the route table items index information in the data message is compressed processing, then, the matching treatment process of the route table items index information after compressing.
The corresponding relation of the route table items index information after the present invention also can set in advance unpressed route table items index information and compress, this corresponding relation can be stored in the routing device, as be stored among the RAM of routing device, certainly, also can be independent of the routing device storage.Above-mentioned corresponding relation also can be stored in other storage mediums of non-RAM.
After being provided with above-mentioned corresponding relation, routing device is when receiving the data message that need carry out the routing forwarding processing, at first, from data message, obtain unpressed route table items index information, then, from above-mentioned corresponding relation neutral line search with data message the compression that is complementary of unpressed route table items index information after the route table items index information, behind the route table items index information after finding the compression that is complementary, route table items index information after the compression that finds and the route table items index information among the CAM are mated, at last, the route table items index information among the CAM that matches of routing device utilization carries out routing forwarding to this data message and handles.
When storage in the CAM unit during greater than 1 integer route table items index information, in the route table items index information and the process of mating of the route table items index information among the CAM of routing device after the compression that will find, can be according to the order of low level list item in the CAM cell width to high-order list item, route table items index information after the compression that finds and the route table items index information among the CAM are mated, for example, when storing two route table items index informations in the CAM cell width, routing device at first carries out matching operation in the low level list item of CAM, if the match is successful, then matching process finishes, if it fails to match, then in the high-order list item of CAM, carry out matching operation.
When routing device can carry out routing forwarding when handling to the data message of number of different types such as IPv4, IPv6 data message etc., should correspondingly store dissimilar route table items index informations among the CAM, at this moment, also should store type identification information among the CAM, the type identification information is used to indicate the type of route table items index information, the route table items index information of the type of route table items index information such as IPv4, the route table items index information of IPv6 etc.
The present invention can all be provided with type identification information for each route table items index information, as the route table items index information for IPv4 and IPv6 type identification information is set all; Also can be for part route table items index information is provided with type identification information, for the route table items index information of IPv6 is provided with type identification information, the route table items index information of IPv4 is not provided with type identification information as only.
When in storing type identification information and CAM unit among the CAM, storing, when compression route table items index information, should consider the width of CAM unit and the bit wide information that type identification information takies greater than 1 integer route table items index information.
In CAM, store under the situation of type identification information, when routing device carries out routing forwarding at needs to the data message, not only need from data message, to obtain unpressed route table items index information, also need to determine the type of this route table items index information, then, routing device is determined the route table items index information after the compression of this unpressed route table items index information correspondence by mode such as inquiry ram table etc., routing device is behind the route table items index information after the compression of determining this data message correspondence, utilize route table items index information and type identification information after this compression in CAM, to search the list item of coupling, and according to coupling route table items index information this data message is carried out routing forwarding and handle.
With a concrete example method for routing provided by the invention is elaborated below.
In the routing device of middle and high end, IPv4 route table items index information generally is made up of VPNID and IP address, that is to say, routing device is searched routing index information according to VPNID and IP address.A cell width setting TCAM is unit with 72bit, because IPv4 route table items index information generally can not be accomplished just 72bit, like this, a lot of memory spaces among the TCAM all have been wasted.
For example, the IP address information of IPv4 is 32 bits, and VPNID is 10 bits, and the TCAM cell width as shown in Figure 1.
Among Fig. 1, the TCAM cell width is 72 bits, the width of IP address and VPNID and be 42 bits, and like this, the high 30bit of TCAM unit is not fully utilized.
In order to make full use of TCAM, routing device can be compressed to the VPNID+IP address information in the 36bit, like this, can put two route table items index informations after the compression in the TCAM unit of a 72bit, thereby the route table items capacity of TCAM is doubled.
When the VPNID+IP address information is compressed, consider the rule that the IP address distributes, on network the network segment quantity of the category-B address of the category-A address of the 8bit of a routing node and 16bit seldom, the variation of IP address mainly concentrates on the 16bit of back.Like this, routing device can compress the IP address of high 16bit, with the IP address compression of high 16bit is 10bit, like this, a route table items index information can be made up of 36bit, comprising: 10bit high address index information after the VPNID of 10bit, the compression and the IP address of low 16bit.Therefore, can store two route table items index informations in a TCAM unit.
Can utilize RAM to preserve the IP address information of unpressed high 16bit and the corresponding relation of IP address information of the high 10bit after the compression in the routing device, in accompanying drawing 2, store above-mentioned corresponding relation among the RAM, like this, routing device is when making up the route table items index information, can directly utilize the IP address of high 16bit in RAM, to carry out linearity and table look-up, obtain the high address index information of a 10bit after the compression as index.
Routing device is again with above-mentioned linearity table look-up high address index information, the IP address information of low 16bit and the route table items that VPNID makes up CAM of the 10bit that obtains, as shown in Figure 2, because each the route table items width among the TCAM has reduced to 36bit, therefore, can store 2 route table items index informations among the TCAM in the unit of each 72bit.
After being provided with above-mentioned RAM and TCAM, when routing device need carry out routing forwarding to the data message, at first, from data message, obtain IP address information and VPNID information, then, the high 16bit of this IP address and the list item among the RAM are mated, and the high address index information of the 10bit after the compression in the acquisition coupling list item, utilize IP address information and the VPNID one of this index information and low 16bit to play the matching treatment of carrying out the route table items index information among the TCAM, and utilize and to match the route table items index information and this data message is carried out routing forwarding handle.Routing forwarding among the present invention is handled identical with routing forwarding processing procedure of the prior art, is not described in detail at this.
Routing device utilizes process that RAM, TCAM carry out routing forwarding to the data message as shown in Figure 4.
Among Fig. 4, in step 400, routing device receives data message, begins routing procedure of the present invention.
To step 410, routing device obtains the IP address information from data message, and utilizes the high 16bit of this IP address and the list item among the RAM to mate, the high address index information of the 10bit after the compression in the acquisition coupling list item.
To step 420, the high address index information of the 10bit after routing device will compress is formed retrieving information with IP address information and the VPNID of low 16bit.
To step 430, routing device utilizes this retrieving information to carry out the matching treatment of route table items index information in the low 36bit of TCAM, routing device is judged the route table items index information that whether has among the low 36bit of TCAM with this retrieving information coupling, if have, to step 440, this matches the routing device utilization route table items index information and this data message is carried out routing forwarding handles.
In step 430, routing device is in determining the low 36bit of TCAM during not with the route table items index information of this retrieving information coupling, to step 450, routing device utilizes this retrieving information to carry out the matching treatment of route table items index information in the high 36bit of TCAM, routing device is judged the route table items index information that whether has among the high 36bit of TCAM with this retrieving information coupling, if have, execution in step 440.
In step 440, routing device utilizes the route table items index information of this coupling that this data message is carried out routing forwarding and handles process ends.
In step 450, if routing device is determined among the high 36bit of TCAM not the route table items index information with this retrieving information coupling, then determine not coupling of this route, to step 451, give CPU on the information such as IP address of routing device with message and do adress analysis by software, software guarantees can correctly transmit the same address message in back by the corresponding compression of configuration list item, content-addressable memory item and route table items then.
