本發明的一實施態樣為一種網路系統,此網路系統可透過一控制器收集網路系統中各節點(例如是交換機或路由器)的連接埠之流量與支援速度,並根據此些連接埠的流量與支援速度規劃一來源目的對(source-destination pair)之傳送路徑。An embodiment of the present invention is a network system that collects traffic and support speeds of connections between nodes (such as switches or routers) in a network system through a controller, and according to the connections.埠 Traffic and support speed planning a source-destination pair transmission path.

第1圖為根據本發明一實施例所繪示的網路系統10之示意圖。網路系統10包括控制器100以及複數個節點例如N1-N5。每一節點N1-N5包括至少一連接埠,例如節點N1包括連接埠P11、P12,節點N2包括連接埠P21、P22等。控制器100分別連接每一節點N1-N5。節點N1-N5中的相鄰兩者彼此透過對應的連接埠形成鏈結。例如節點N1與 節點N3透過連接埠P11與P31形成鏈結L1,節點N1與節點N4透過連接埠P12與P41形成鏈結L2等。此處所謂相鄰的節點,係指兩個節點可經由單一鏈結彼此連接。另外,上述節點N1-N5可為開放流(openflow)交換機或路由器,上述控制器可為開放流控制器。FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a network system 10 according to an embodiment of the invention. Network system 10 includes a controller 100 and a plurality of nodes such as N1-N5. Each node N1-N5 includes at least one port, for example, node N1 includes ports P11, P12, and node N2 includes ports P21, P22, and the like. The controller 100 is connected to each of the nodes N1-N5. Adjacent ones of the nodes N1-N5 form a link with each other through a corresponding port. For example, node N1 and The node N3 forms a link L1 through the ports 11P11 and P31, and the node N1 and the node N4 form a link L2 and the like through the ports 12P12 and P41. By adjacent nodes herein is meant that two nodes can be connected to each other via a single link. In addition, the above nodes N1-N5 may be open flow switches or routers, and the above controller may be an open flow controller.

當注意到,本實施例雖以第1圖中的連結方式為例進行說明,然而實際上節點、節點的連接埠的數量以及各個節點之間的連接關係不以此為限。It is to be noted that the present embodiment is described by taking the connection method in FIG. 1 as an example. However, the number of nodes, the number of connection ports, and the connection relationship between the nodes are not limited thereto.

在本實施例中,控制器100例如是一電腦。控制器100可發出命令至,以令節點N1-N5分別輸出一識別資訊以及節點N1-N5之連接埠P11-P52的支援速度至控制器100。接著,控制器100可接收此些識別資訊以建構出相應於網路系統10的網路拓樸以及各個節點N1-N5的連接埠P11-P52的支援速度,其中網路拓樸可意指節點N1-N5之間的連接關係。實施上,控制器100可令節點N1-N5向其相鄰的節點N1-N5廣播鏈路層發現協議(link layer discovery protocol,LLDP)封包,使相鄰的節點N1-N5間交換識別資訊,而後控制器100可再發送命令至節點N1-N5使其回傳相鄰節點N1-N5的識別資訊,如此一來,控制器100可藉此些識別資訊得知相應於網路系統10的網路拓樸。另一方面,控制器100亦可藉由發送命令至節點N1-N5,使節點N1-N5分別回傳其連接埠P11-P52的支援速度。In the present embodiment, the controller 100 is, for example, a computer. The controller 100 can issue a command to the nodes N1-N5 to output an identification information and a support speed of the ports 11P11-P52 of the nodes N1-N5 to the controller 100, respectively. Then, the controller 100 can receive the identification information to construct a network topology corresponding to the network system 10 and the connection speeds of the ports 11P11-P52 of the nodes N1-N5, wherein the network topology can mean a node. The connection relationship between N1-N5. In practice, the controller 100 can cause the nodes N1-N5 to broadcast a link layer discovery protocol (LLDP) packet to the neighboring nodes N1-N5, so that the adjacent nodes N1-N5 exchange identification information. The controller 100 can then send a command to the nodes N1-N5 to transmit the identification information of the neighboring nodes N1-N5. Thus, the controller 100 can use the identification information to learn the network corresponding to the network system 10. Road topography. On the other hand, the controller 100 can also cause the nodes N1-N5 to respectively transmit the support speeds of the ports 11P11-P52 by transmitting commands to the nodes N1-N5.

另外,控制器100可用以監控連接埠P11-P52之流量,例如可定期發送命令至節點N1-N5,以令節點N1-N5 傳送其連接埠P11-P52的流量至控制器100。In addition, the controller 100 can be used to monitor the traffic of the ports P11-P52, for example, periodically send commands to the nodes N1-N5 to make the nodes N1-N5 The flow of its connection port P11-P52 is transmitted to the controller 100.

藉由上述接收連接埠P11-P52的支援速度及定期收集連接埠P11-P52之流量,在接收到一個路由規劃要求後,控制器100便可根據連接埠P11-P52的支援速度及其上的流量以分別計算鏈結L1-L6的鏈路成本。例如,控制器100可透過連接埠P11-P52的支援速度及其上的流量以判斷相應的鏈結L1-L6的壅塞程度,並依此計算鏈路成本。By receiving the support speed of the connection port P11-P52 and collecting the traffic of the port P11-P52 periodically, after receiving a route planning request, the controller 100 can select the support speed based on the connection port P11-P52 and The traffic is calculated separately for the link cost of the links L1-L6. For example, the controller 100 can determine the degree of congestion of the corresponding links L1-L6 through the support speeds of the ports 11P11-P52 and the traffic thereon, and calculate the link cost accordingly.

在計算鏈結L1-L6的鏈路成本後,控制器100便可根據前述路由規劃要求以及相應於網路系統10的網路拓樸找出一來源目的對(source-destination pair)之複數個準傳送路徑,並加總準傳送路徑所經過之鏈結L1-L6之鏈路成本,以分別計算準傳送路徑的一鏈路成本總和,再選擇準傳送路徑中鏈路成本總和最小者作為前述來源目的對之一封包傳送路徑。其中來源目的對相應於前述路由規劃要求。After calculating the link cost of the links L1-L6, the controller 100 can find a plurality of source-destination pairs according to the foregoing routing planning requirements and the network topology corresponding to the network system 10. a quasi-transmission path, and summing the link costs of the links L1-L6 through which the quasi-transmission path passes, to calculate a link cost sum of the quasi-transport paths, and then selecting the smallest sum of the link costs in the quasi-transport path as the foregoing The destination of the source is a packet transmission path. The source purpose corresponds to the aforementioned routing planning requirements.

舉例而言,若來源目的對之來源節點為N1,目的節點為N2,則控制器100可在相應於網路系統10的網路拓樸中分別找出兩條準傳送路徑N1→N3→N2、N1→N4→N2,並計算其鏈路成本總和,若準傳送路徑N1→N3→N2的鏈路成本總和小於準傳送路徑N1→N4→N2,則控制器100選擇準傳送路徑N1→N4→N2作為前述來源目的對之一封包傳送路徑。For example, if the source node is N1 and the destination node is N2, the controller 100 can respectively find two quasi-transmission paths N1→N3→N2 in the network topology corresponding to the network system 10. N1→N4→N2, and calculate the total link cost. If the total link cost of the quasi-transmission path N1→N3→N2 is smaller than the quasi-transmission path N1→N4→N2, the controller 100 selects the quasi-transmission path N1→N4. → N2 is a packet transmission path for the aforementioned source purpose.

透過上述之設置,當控制器100規劃前述來源目的對之傳送路徑時,控制器100可選擇一條鏈路成本總和為最小的準傳送路徑作為封包傳送路徑,以平衡網路中的流量負載、避免網路壅塞,並提昇網路的可靠度。Through the above setting, when the controller 100 plans the transmission path of the source destination, the controller 100 can select a quasi-transmission path with the smallest total link cost as the packet transmission path to balance the traffic load in the network and avoid Network congestion and improve network reliability.

以下段落將對前述流量的監控與鏈路成本的計算作進一步說明。The following paragraphs will further explain the monitoring of the aforementioned traffic and the calculation of the link cost.

在本發明一實施例中,節點N1-N5可分別儲存統計資料,統計資料可包括各節點N1-N5上各連接埠P11-P52的累計流量(如累計傳送位元組)。控制器100可定期接收各節點N1-N5上各連接埠P11-P52的累計流量,並在接收到指令(如路由規劃要求)時計算各鏈結L1-L6的鏈路成本。換言之,控制器100在接收到指令時,係用最新接收的累計流量與次新接收的累計流量之差除以兩次接收累計流量的時間間隔,以求得平均流量。In an embodiment of the invention, the nodes N1-N5 may respectively store statistical data, and the statistical data may include accumulated traffic (for example, cumulative transmission byte groups) of each port 11P11-P52 on each node N1-N5. The controller 100 can periodically receive the accumulated traffic of each port 11P11-P52 on each of the nodes N1-N5, and calculate the link cost of each link L1-L6 when receiving an instruction (such as a route planning request). In other words, when receiving the command, the controller 100 divides the difference between the latest received cumulative flow rate and the newly received accumulated flow rate by the time interval between receiving the accumulated flow twice to obtain the average flow rate.

以連接埠P11為例,控制器100可在第一時間點(如第0秒時)接收節點N1的連接埠P11的第一累計流量,接著在一預設時間(如30秒)後,控制器100可在第二時間點(如第30秒時)再次接收節點N1的連接埠P11的第二累計流量。此時,若控制器100接收到路由規劃要求欲計算各鏈結L1-L6的鏈路成本,控制器100可用第一、第二累計流量的差除以第一、第二時間點的差,以求得連接埠P11的平均流量。接著,控制器100可用連接埠P11的支援速度減去連接埠P11的平均流量,以求得連接埠P11的剩餘流量,且用連接埠P11的剩餘流量除以連接埠P11的支援速度,以求得相應於連接埠P11的鏈結L1之鏈路成本。Taking the connection port P11 as an example, the controller 100 can receive the first accumulated flow rate of the connection port P11 of the node N1 at the first time point (such as the 0th second), and then control after a preset time (for example, 30 seconds). The device 100 may again receive the second accumulated flow of the port 11P11 of the node N1 at the second time point (eg, at the 30th second). At this time, if the controller 100 receives the route planning request to calculate the link cost of each link L1-L6, the controller 100 may divide the difference between the first and second accumulated traffic by the difference between the first and second time points. In order to obtain the average flow rate of the connection 埠P11. Next, the controller 100 can subtract the average traffic of the port P11 by the support speed of the port P11 to obtain the remaining traffic of the port P11, and divide the remaining traffic of the port P11 by the support speed of the port P11. Corresponding to the link cost of the link L1 connecting the 埠P11.

如此一來,當連接埠P11的支援速度遠大於連接埠P11的平均流量時,鏈結L1之鏈路成本較小,而當連接埠P11的支援速度僅略大於連接埠P11的平均流量時,鏈結L1已為壅塞狀態,鏈結L1之鏈路成本較高。In this way, when the support speed of the connection port P11 is much larger than the average flow rate of the port P11, the link cost of the link L1 is small, and when the support speed of the port P11 is only slightly larger than the average flow rate of the port P11, The link L1 is in a stagnation state, and the link of the link L1 is costly.

以同樣的方式,控制器100可求得鏈結L1-L6之鏈路成本。當注意到,由於控制器100係定期不斷地接收各節點N1-N5上各連接埠P11-P52的累計流量,並以最新接收的累計流量及次新接收的累計流量計算平均流量,是以鏈結L1-L6之鏈路成本可隨時間動態變化。In the same manner, the controller 100 can determine the link cost of the links L1-L6. It is noted that since the controller 100 periodically receives the accumulated traffic of each port 11P11-P52 on each node N1-N5, and calculates the average traffic volume with the latest received cumulative traffic and the newly received accumulated traffic, it is a chain. The link cost of the junctions L1-L6 can vary dynamically over time.

另一方面,在本發明一實施例中,節點N1-N5可各包括一個轉送表,用以儲存零至多筆封包轉送規則,節點N1-N5可根據此些封包轉送規則轉送封包。當一筆封包進入任一節點N1-N5時,若此節點N1-N5中不具有相應於該筆封包的封包轉送規則時,此節點N1-N5可發送路由規劃要求至控制器100。在一些實施例中,此路由規劃要求可包括一來源目的對的資訊,其中來源目的對之來源節點例如是傳送路由規劃要求的節點N1-N5,目的節點例如是上述封包欲抵達的節點N1-N5。On the other hand, in an embodiment of the present invention, the nodes N1-N5 may each include a forwarding table for storing zero to more packet forwarding rules, and the nodes N1-N5 may forward the packets according to the packet forwarding rules. When a packet enters any of the nodes N1-N5, if the node N1-N5 does not have a packet forwarding rule corresponding to the packet, the node N1-N5 may send a routing plan request to the controller 100. In some embodiments, the route planning requirement may include information of a source destination pair, wherein the source node is, for example, a node N1-N5 that transmits routing plan requirements, and the destination node is, for example, the node N1 to which the packet is to be reached. N5.

當控制器100接收到路由規劃要求後,控制器100可根據連接埠P11-P52之流量與連接埠P11-P52的支援速度分別計算鏈結的鏈路成本L1-L6,並根據路由規劃要求、相應於網路系統10的網路拓樸與鏈結L1-L6的鏈路成本,對前述來源目的對進行最短路徑演算法,以找出鏈路成本總和為最小的準傳送路徑作為此一來源目的對之封包傳送路徑。其中控制器100例如是以鏈路成本為權重值(weight)對前述來源目的對進行最短路徑演算法(例如是Dijkstra演算法)。After the controller 100 receives the routing planning request, the controller 100 can calculate the link cost L1-L6 of the link according to the traffic of the connection port P11-P52 and the support speed of the port P11-P52, and according to the route planning requirement, Corresponding to the network topology of the network system 10 and the link cost of the links L1-L6, the shortest path algorithm is performed on the aforementioned source purpose pair to find the quasi-transmission path with the smallest total link cost as the source. The destination is the packet transmission path. The controller 100 performs a shortest path algorithm (for example, a Dijkstra algorithm) on the pair of source destinations, for example, by using the link cost as a weight.

接著,控制器100可沿著此一封包傳送路徑,將相應於此一封包傳送路徑的至少一個封包轉送規則分別寫入此 一封包傳送路徑所經過的所有節點之轉送表,以使前述來源目的對的封包能經由此一封包傳送路徑傳送。Then, the controller 100 can write the at least one packet forwarding rule corresponding to the one packet transmission path separately along the one packet transmission path. A forwarding table of all nodes through which the packet transmission path passes, so that the packet of the source destination pair can be transmitted via the packet transmission path.

舉例而言,在一情況下,節點N1傳送一路由規劃要求至控制器100,其中此一路由規劃要求的來源目的對之來源節點為節點N1,目的節點為節點N2。當控制器100接收到節點N1的傳送路由規劃要求時,控制器100可計算各鏈結L1-L6的鏈路成本,並根據相應於網路系統10的網路拓樸以及鏈結L1-L6的鏈路成本,以找出鏈路成本總和為最小的準傳送路徑作為節點N1至節點N2之間的封包傳送路徑,例如是N1→N4→N2。接著,控制器100沿此封包傳送路徑N1→N4→N2,將封包轉送規則分別寫入節點N1、N4中,例如:在節點N1的轉送表中,控制器100可新增一條封包轉送規則,使前述來源目的對的封包自連接埠P12發送;在節點N4的轉送表中,控制器100亦可新增一條封包轉送規則,使前述來源目的對的封包自連接埠P42發送。如此一來,前述來源目的對的封包可經由最小鏈路成本路徑傳送。For example, in a case, the node N1 transmits a route planning request to the controller 100, wherein the source destination of the route planning requirement is that the source node is the node N1 and the destination node is the node N2. When the controller 100 receives the transmission route planning request of the node N1, the controller 100 can calculate the link cost of each link L1-L6, and according to the network topology corresponding to the network system 10 and the links L1-L6. The link cost is to find the quasi-transmission path with the sum of the link costs as the packet transmission path between the node N1 and the node N2, for example, N1→N4→N2. Then, the controller 100 writes the packet forwarding rules to the nodes N1 and N4 along the packet transmission path N1→N4→N2. For example, in the forwarding table of the node N1, the controller 100 may add a packet forwarding rule. The packet of the source destination pair is sent from the connection port P12; in the forwarding table of the node N4, the controller 100 may also add a packet forwarding rule, so that the packet of the source destination pair is sent from the port P42. In this way, the packets of the foregoing source destination pair can be transmitted via the minimum link cost path.

另外,在一實施例中,控制器100可設定封包轉送規則的失效時間,當封包轉送規則超過其失效時間後,節點N1-N5可將封包轉送規則移除,如此一來,在封包轉送規則移除後,當前述來源目的對之封包再次進入節點N1-N5時,由於節點N1-N5比對不到相應的封包轉送規則,故節點N1-N5可再次發送路由規劃要求至控制器100,以令控制器100再次規劃前述來源目的對之封包傳送路徑,使得前述來源目的對之封包傳送路徑得以隨時間更新。In addition, in an embodiment, the controller 100 may set the expiration time of the packet forwarding rule. After the packet forwarding rule exceeds its expiration time, the nodes N1-N5 may remove the packet forwarding rule, and thus, in the packet forwarding rule. After the removal, when the foregoing source destination packet is re-entered into the node N1-N5, the node N1-N5 may send the route planning request to the controller 100 again because the node N1-N5 does not compare the corresponding packet forwarding rule. In order for the controller 100 to re-plan the packet transmission path of the foregoing source destination, the foregoing source destination is updated with the packet transmission path over time.

本發明的另一實施態樣為一種路由方法。此路由方法可用於結構與前述第1圖中相同或類似的網路系統。為方便說明,下述操作方法係以第1圖所示之實施例為例進行描述,但並不以第1圖之實施例為限。Another embodiment of the present invention is a routing method. This routing method can be applied to a network system having the same or similar structure as in the foregoing FIG. 1. For convenience of description, the following operation method is described by taking the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 as an example, but is not limited to the embodiment of FIG. 1.

當注意到,在以下操作方法中的步驟中,除非另行述明,否則並不具有特定順序。另外,以下步驟亦可能被同時執行,或者於執行時間上有所重疊。It is noted that in the steps of the following methods of operation, there is no particular order unless otherwise stated. In addition, the following steps may also be performed simultaneously or overlap in execution time.

第2圖為根據本發明一實施例所繪示的路由方法200。路由方法200可包括步驟S0-S7。FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a routing method 200 according to an embodiment of the invention. Routing method 200 can include steps S0-S7.

於步驟S0中,節點N1-N5可傳送識別資訊以及節點N1-N5之連接埠P11-P52的支援速度至控制器100。在步驟S1中,控制器100可接收節點N1-N5傳送的識別資訊以建構出相應於網路10的網路拓樸,並接收節點N1-N5傳送的連接埠P11-P52的支援速度。舉例而言,控制器100可令節點N1-N5向其相鄰的節點N1-N5廣播鏈路層發現協議封包,使相鄰的節點N1-N5間交換識別資訊,而後控制器100可再發送命令至節點N1-N5使其回傳相鄰節點N1-N5的識別資訊,如此則控制器100可藉此些識別資訊得知相應於網路10的網路拓樸。又,控制器100亦可藉由發送一命令至節點N1-N5,使節點N1-N5分別回傳其連接埠P11-P52的支援速度。In step S0, the nodes N1-N5 can transmit the identification information and the support speed of the ports 11P11-P52 of the nodes N1-N5 to the controller 100. In step S1, the controller 100 can receive the identification information transmitted by the nodes N1-N5 to construct a network topology corresponding to the network 10, and receive the support speeds of the ports 11P11-P52 transmitted by the nodes N1-N5. For example, the controller 100 may cause the nodes N1-N5 to broadcast a link layer discovery protocol packet to their neighboring nodes N1-N5, so that the adjacent nodes N1-N5 exchange identification information, and then the controller 100 may resend The command to the nodes N1-N5 causes the identification information of the adjacent nodes N1-N5 to be transmitted back, so that the controller 100 can use the identification information to know the network topology corresponding to the network 10. Moreover, the controller 100 can also cause the nodes N1-N5 to respectively transmit the support speeds of the ports 11P11-P52 by transmitting a command to the nodes N1-N5.

於步驟S2中,控制器100可監控連接埠P11-P52之流量。例如控制器100可定期(例如每隔一段預設期間)發送命令至節點N1-N5,以令節點N1-N5傳送其連接埠P11-P52的流量至控制器100。In step S2, the controller 100 can monitor the traffic of the ports 11P11-P52. For example, the controller 100 may send commands to the nodes N1-N5 periodically (e.g., every predetermined period of time) to cause the nodes N1-N5 to transmit the traffic of their ports 11P11-P52 to the controller 100.

接著,於步驟S3中,控制器100可判斷是否接收到任一節點N1-N5所傳送的路由規劃要求,若否,則控制器100持續監控連接埠P11-P52之流量;若是,則控制器100可根據連接埠P11-P52之流量與連接埠P11-P52的支援速度分別計算鏈結L1-L6的鏈路成本(步驟S4)。例如,控制器100可透過連接埠P11-P52的支援速度及其上的當前流量以判斷相應的鏈結L1-L6的壅塞程度,並依此計算鏈路成本。Next, in step S3, the controller 100 can determine whether the routing plan requirements transmitted by any of the nodes N1-N5 are received, and if not, the controller 100 continuously monitors the traffic of the ports P11-P52; if so, the controller 100 calculates the link cost of the links L1 - L6 based on the flow rate of the ports 11 P11-P52 and the support speed of the ports 11 P11-P52 (step S4). For example, the controller 100 can determine the degree of congestion of the corresponding links L1-L6 through the support speeds of the ports 11P11-P52 and the current traffic on them, and calculate the link cost accordingly.

而後,於步驟S5中,控制器100便可根據前述路由規劃要求以及相應於網路系統10的網路拓樸找出一來源目的對(source-destination pair)之複數個準傳送路徑,並加總準傳送路徑所經過之鏈結L1-L6之鏈路成本,以分別計算準傳送路徑的一鏈路成本總和(步驟S6),再選擇準傳送路徑中鏈路成本總和最小者作為前述來源目的對之一封包傳送路徑(步驟S7)。其中來源目的對相應於前述路由規劃要求。Then, in step S5, the controller 100 can find a plurality of quasi-transmission paths of a source-destination pair according to the foregoing routing planning requirements and the network topology corresponding to the network system 10, and add The link cost of the links L1-L6 through which the total transmission path passes to calculate the sum of the link costs of the quasi-transport path (step S6), and then select the smallest sum of the link costs in the quasi-transport path as the source purpose. A packet transfer path is obtained (step S7). The source purpose corresponds to the aforementioned routing planning requirements.

舉例而言,若來源目的對之來源節點為N1,目的節點為N2,則控制器100可在相應於網路系統10的網路拓樸中分別找出兩條準傳送路徑N1→N3→N2、N1→N4→N2,並計算其鏈路成本總和,若準傳送路徑N1→N3→N2的鏈路成本總和小於準傳送路徑N1→N4→N2,則控制器100選擇準傳送路徑N1→N4→N2作為前述來源目的對之一封包傳送路徑。For example, if the source node is N1 and the destination node is N2, the controller 100 can respectively find two quasi-transmission paths N1→N3→N2 in the network topology corresponding to the network system 10. N1→N4→N2, and calculate the total link cost. If the total link cost of the quasi-transmission path N1→N3→N2 is smaller than the quasi-transmission path N1→N4→N2, the controller 100 selects the quasi-transmission path N1→N4. → N2 is a packet transmission path for the aforementioned source purpose.

透過上述的步驟,當控制器100在規劃一來源目的對之傳送路徑時,控制器100可選擇一條鏈路成本總和為最 小的準傳送路徑作為封包傳送路徑,以平衡網路中的流量負載、避免網路壅塞,並提昇網路的可靠度。Through the above steps, when the controller 100 is planning a source destination transmission path, the controller 100 can select a link cost sum to be the most A small quasi-transmission path acts as a packet transmission path to balance the traffic load in the network, avoid network congestion, and improve network reliability.

在本發明的一實施例中,於步驟S2中,控制器100可定期接收各節點N1-N5上各連接埠P11-P52的累計流量。以連接埠P11為例,控制器100可在第一時間點(如第0秒時)接收節點N1的連接埠P11的第一累計流量,接著在一預設時間(如30秒)後,控制器100可在第二時間點(如第30秒時)再次接收節點N1的連接埠P11的第二累計流量。In an embodiment of the present invention, in step S2, the controller 100 may periodically receive the accumulated traffic of each port 11P11-P52 on each of the nodes N1-N5. Taking the connection port P11 as an example, the controller 100 can receive the first accumulated flow rate of the connection port P11 of the node N1 at the first time point (such as the 0th second), and then control after a preset time (for example, 30 seconds). The device 100 may again receive the second accumulated flow of the port 11P11 of the node N1 at the second time point (eg, at the 30th second).

此時,若控制器100接收到節點N1-N5所傳送的路由規劃要求(步驟S3),則控制器100可用第一、第二累計流量的差除以第一、第二時間點的差,以求得連接埠P11的平均流量。接著,控制器100可用連接埠P11的支援速度減去連接埠P11的平均流量,以求得連接埠P11的剩餘流量,且用連接埠P11的剩餘流量除以連接埠P11的支援速度,以求得相應於連接埠P11的鏈結L1之鏈路成本(步驟S4)。換言之,控制器100係用最新接收的累計流量與次新接收的累計流量之差除以兩次接收累計流量的時間間隔,以求得連接埠P11的平均流量,再利用連接埠P11的平均流量計算鏈結L1的鏈路成本。At this time, if the controller 100 receives the route planning request transmitted by the nodes N1-N5 (step S3), the controller 100 may divide the difference between the first and second accumulated traffic by the difference between the first and second time points. In order to obtain the average flow rate of the connection 埠P11. Next, the controller 100 can subtract the average traffic of the port P11 by the support speed of the port P11 to obtain the remaining traffic of the port P11, and divide the remaining traffic of the port P11 by the support speed of the port P11. The link cost corresponding to the link L1 of the port 11P11 is obtained (step S4). In other words, the controller 100 divides the difference between the latest received cumulative flow rate and the newly received accumulated flow rate by the time interval between the two received cumulative flow rates to obtain the average flow rate of the connection port P11, and then uses the average flow rate of the connection port P11. Calculate the link cost of the link L1.

而藉由上述步驟計算鏈路成本,當連接埠P11的支援速度遠大於連接埠P11的平均流量時,鏈結L1之鏈路成本較小,而當連接埠P11的支援速度僅略大於連接埠P11的平均流量時,鏈結L1已為壅塞狀態,鏈結L1之鏈路成本較高。By calculating the link cost by the above steps, when the support speed of the connection port P11 is much larger than the average flow rate of the port P11, the link cost of the link L1 is small, and the support speed of the port P11 is only slightly larger than the port. When the average flow rate of P11 is reached, the link L1 is in a stagnation state, and the link cost of the link L1 is high.

同樣地,控制器100可求得鏈結L1-L6之鏈路成本。當注意到,由於控制器100係定期不斷地接收各節點N1-N5上各連接埠P11-P52的累計流量,並以最新接收的累計流量及次新接收的累計流量計算平均流量,是以鏈結L1-L6之鏈路成本可隨時間動態變化。Similarly, controller 100 can determine the link cost of links L1-L6. It is noted that since the controller 100 periodically receives the accumulated traffic of each port 11P11-P52 on each node N1-N5, and calculates the average traffic volume with the latest received cumulative traffic and the newly received accumulated traffic, it is a chain. The link cost of the junctions L1-L6 can vary dynamically over time.

根據本發明一實施例,在步驟S5中,當控制器100接收到路由規劃要求後,控制器100可根據路由規劃要求、相應於網路系統10的網路拓樸與鏈結L1-L6的鏈路成本,對相應於路由規劃要求的來源目的對進行最短路徑演算法,鏈路成本總和為最小的準傳送路徑作為此一來源目的對之封包傳送路徑。例如控制器100可用鏈結L1-L6的鏈路成本做為權重值,並對前述來源目的對進行最短路徑演算法(例如是Dijkstra演算法),找出鏈路成本總和為最小的準傳送路徑作為此一來源目的對之封包傳送路徑。According to an embodiment of the present invention, in step S5, after the controller 100 receives the routing planning request, the controller 100 may correspond to the network topology and the links L1-L6 of the network system 10 according to the routing planning requirements. Link cost, the shortest path algorithm for the source destination pair corresponding to the route planning requirement, and the quasi-transport path with the smallest link cost sum as the destination transmission path of the source. For example, the controller 100 can use the link cost of the links L1-L6 as the weight value, and perform the shortest path algorithm (for example, the Dijkstra algorithm) on the source destination pair to find the quasi-transmission path with the smallest link cost sum. As a source of this purpose, the packet transmission path is carried out.

接著,在步驟S6中,控制器100可根據封包傳送路徑,以將至少一封包轉送規則分別寫入封包傳送路徑所經過的節點之轉送表。此處轉送表與封包轉送規則的細節可參考前一實施態樣,在此不再贅述。Next, in step S6, the controller 100 may write at least one packet forwarding rule to the forwarding table of the node through which the packet transmission path passes, according to the packet transmission path. For details of the forwarding table and the packet forwarding rule, refer to the previous embodiment, and details are not described herein again.

另外,在一實施例中,路由方法200可更包括一步驟,其係透過控制器100設定封包轉送規則的失效時間,當封包轉送規則超過其失效時間後,節點N1-N5可將封包轉送規則移除,如此一來,在封包轉送規則移除後,當前述來源目的對之封包再次進入節點N1-N5時,由於節點N1-N5比對不到相應的封包轉送規則,故節點N1-N5可再次發送路由規劃要求至控制器100,以令控制器100再次 規劃前述來源目的對之封包傳送路徑,使得前述來源目的對之封包傳送路徑徑得以隨時間更新。In addition, in an embodiment, the routing method 200 may further include a step of setting a failure time of the packet forwarding rule by using the controller 100. After the packet forwarding rule exceeds its expiration time, the node N1-N5 may forward the packet forwarding rule. After the packet forwarding rule is removed, when the packet of the source destination pair enters the node N1-N5 again, the node N1-N5 is less than the corresponding packet forwarding rule, so the node N1-N5 The routing plan request can be sent again to the controller 100 to cause the controller 100 to again The packet transmission path is planned for the foregoing source purpose, so that the foregoing source destination is updated with the packet transmission path path over time.

雖然本案已以實施例揭露如上,然其並非用以限定本案,任何熟習此技藝者,在不脫離本案之精神和範圍內,當可作各種之更動與潤飾,因此本案之保護範圍當視後附之申請專利範圍所界定者為準。Although the present invention has been disclosed in the above embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present case. Anyone skilled in the art can make various changes and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present case. The scope defined in the patent application is subject to change.
