Definitions
- the subject of the application relates to a method for maintaining the packet sequence in connectionless packet switching with alternative routing for a network with multiple routers.
- Networks with connectionless packet switching generally have no way of maintaining the order of packets during transport through the network, i.e. to offer the same order at the exit of the network as at the entrance if, within the network, for example, the route to a destination can be individually selected for each packet for load distribution.
- Errors in the packet order can, for example, unnecessarily reduce the throughput of connections if this is regulated by the protocol TCP (Transmission Control Protocol).
- TCP Transmission Control Protocol
- a TCP sender reduces its transmission rate (by reducing the transmission window) after detecting a packet loss.
- a packet order reversed in the network also leads to repeated confirmations with the same order number, so that TCP also reduces the rate here.
- connection information must be stored in each network node, e.g. B. by configuring paths (static), or by first establishing a path for each connection (dynamic, but connected with a lot of effort and therefore not necessarily scalable for large networks).
- the number of flows to be saved depends very much on the duration of the flows and can become very large for long flows with little traffic.
- devices can be used at the network output to restore the packet sequence, which, however, is a non-trivial task in IP (Internet Protocol) networks, since IP packets generally do not have a sequence number that can be used for such purposes.
- IP Internet Protocol
- the "Identity >" field in the packet header uniquely identifies a packet, but is not necessarily increased by 1 within each TCP connection or each UDP (User Datagram Protocol) association.
- UDP User Datagram Protocol
- a resequencing device cannot know how many packets are still missing between two other received packets if their sequence numbers do not connect to one another.
- packet losses would cause a delay in the playout of the packets and would thus override the “Fast Retransmit * mechanism of TCP, which would cause the bandwidth regulation in TCP to be downgraded significantly and therefore not an advantage compared to delivery out of sequence would bring.
- the invention has for its object to provide a method that in a network with multiple path options Reduced performance degradation due to package overhauls.
- the frequency of packet overhauls, in particular for high-bit-rate connections, is greatly reduced by the invention.
- the frequency of exchanges in the packet order is determined by the above. technical features decreased.
- the maximum number of flow entries in the flow table FT is predetermined by the number of packets to be stored in the router.
- the restriction to packets stored in the router thus greatly reduces the amount of status information in the router compared to solutions such as MPLS or IP switching, which must maintain a status for each existing flow.
- no signaling is required between the network nodes, so that there is no unnecessary delay, especially with short flows.
- the limitation to the short lifespan of the status information also has the advantage that the flexibility of alternative routing for load distribution in the network is guaranteed, so that a compromise can be reached between absolute compliance with the packet sequence and optimal load distribution. Connections that send at a high rate and of which at least one packet is always cached in the router will not be swapped. Connections in which a packet is seldom sent will also have no problems if the runtime differences between the different paths chosen in the network are small compared to the time between two packets. The described solution is therefore particularly advantageous for connections in which data is sent in batches (e.g. World Wide Web).
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic representation of an IP router
- Fig. 3 is a schematic representation of an inventive
- FIG. 2 shows part of the IP router R1 as it is constructed according to the prior art for a transmission direction (from L0 to L1 and L2).
- the routing table RT receives current routing information from the routing protocol processor RP, which exchanges accessibility information with other routers via a routing protocol.
- the "shortest path is ⁇ , that is the (after a predetermined metric) shortest route to the destination as the only way into the routing table RT entered.
- the routing table is expanded and contains, in addition to the next node on the shortest path, further next nodes for further permissible paths to the destination.
- a permissible output path to the destination can now be selected on the basis of a load distribution algorithm ⁇ , to which the packet is then forwarded.
- flow information FI flow information
- the packet the router then the information is deleted again. If a new packet with the same FI arrives in the router, it is forwarded on the same path as the last packet with the same FI.
- the corresponding router in FIG. 3 contains, in addition to the components of the router from FIG. 2, a flow table FT in which the selected next hop is stored for all packets that are still in the router and have already been classified. For each newly arriving package, the affiliation to one of the flows in the FT is checked. If a packet of the corresponding flow is recorded in the FT, the same selection of the next hop is also made for the new packet. If not
- Packet of the same flow is recorded in the FT, a next hop is selected for this packet based on the rules of the alternative routing and the load distribution, the packet is forwarded in the direction of this next node and the flow information is stored in the FT together with the selected next hop ,
- Figure 4 shows an example of what such an FT can look like.
- the FT contains i for each flow, from which itself Packets are in an outgoing queue of the router, the number ni of packets in the queues, the flow identification information (source IP, destination IP, source port, dest. Port, protocol) and the next hop selected for this flow.
- the packet counter for each flow is incremented by 1 with each incoming packet for this flow and decreased by 1 with each packet outgoing from the router for this flow. If the counter reaches 0, the entry is deleted from the table.
- the principle can be applied to each queue individually, to a subset or to all buffers in a device if an IP router uses, for example, input and output buffers or a combination of such buffers with a central buffer.
- the following alternatives are possible: a) separate FT and separate packet count. In this case, the FT only refers to the queue, at the exit of which the decision to forward the route is made. Any output buffers arranged behind it and the packets in them no longer have any influence on the route decision for new packets.
- the FT is structured according to FIG. 4, where ni relates to the sum of all packets of flow i in all the queues under consideration.
- IP routers usually have one output queue per output link, whereby the output link can be a physical network connection or a logical channel within a physical connection (e.g. an ATM-VP (Asynchronous Transfer Mode-Virtual Path) or -VC (Virtual Channel ), a wavelength or an STM (Synchronous Transport Module) channel).
- Backbone routers usually have exactly one next IP router assigned to each of these channels. In local networks, however, an output channel can also reach several next IP routers if the channel is a shared edium (Ethernet or similar), for example.
- FIG. 3 provides for flows to be transferred from the flow table as soon as there is no longer a corresponding packet in the router.
- the time table for the last packet arrival is stored in the flow table FT in FIG. 4 instead of the number ni of packets in a flow.
- the entries are then periodically or after a time limit after arrival from the
- Table is carried out if the time at which the last packet in a flow was observed was at least a certain time ago.
- the method can be used for all or only for some of the traffic classes.
- a time limit according to option 3 can be set adaptively depending on other parameters.
- parameters that determine the distribution of traffic e.g. the frequency for choosing an alternative route
