- the priority control processing unit 5a When receiving the performance information again, the priority control processing unit 5a sends the VLAN priority bit to the MAC frame processing unit 21-1 to 2-n in the priority control information adding unit 21 when receiving the queue designation notification. Notify to use cue 45-6, which is a 0.5Mb ps peak 'cut' off queue of '0'. That is, the priority of the MAC frame to the server 9-1 is further lowered, and the MAC frame to the server 9-1 is suppressed.
- the output port is measured by measuring the number of sources transmitting MAC frames to a specific destination within a certain period of time from the IP header (Layer 3 control information) of the MAC frame.
- Monitoring the flow to the same server in, if more than a predetermined number of subscriber terminals are connected to the same server for a predetermined time or more, the priority of the queue for storing MAC frames to this server For example, it is possible to prevent DDoS attacks on servers at Layer 2 and to improve the security of subscriber terminals on the Ethernet (registered trademark) network. it can.
- the source IP address and the destination IP address are used, but the source MAC address and the destination MAC address of the MAC frame header (Layer 2 control information) may be used. Good.
- the priority of the queue to be used is lowered. Even if the priority of the queue is lowered, more than a predetermined number of subscriber terminals are connected to the same server for a predetermined time or more. If so, the server may stop sending MAC frames to the server.
- the priority control information is deleted in the multiplex processing unit 41.
- the output is performed after the frame allocation processing unit 44 allocates the priority control information to the queues 45-1 to 45-9.
- the multiplex processing unit 47 or 43 may delete the priority control information until the MAC frame is output to the ports PO1 to POm.
- the priority control information may be deleted. 6
- information for the MAC frame analysis processing unit 22 to decipher the MAC frame (the source MAC address and the destination MAC address, the source IP address, and the destination) IP address, source port number, destination port number, etc.), the priority control information assigning section 21 the ability to store the detected MAC frame in which queue, the priority control buffer sections 4 2—0 to 4 2—7
- the queue configuration (for example, queue 45_1 is the highest priority queue, queue 45-2 is the peak 'cut off' queue of up to 5Mbps), and the priority control processing unit 5
- the queue to be changed based on is set in advance. However, these settings may be changed or set by a device higher than a switch device such as a monitoring device that monitors a network, for example.
- the priority control information adding unit 21 adds the priority control information before the input MAC frame.
- the priority control information is newly added. It may be added as a special VLAN tag. That is, priority control information is added to the MAC frame header using the function of “tag” on.tag.
- a general L 2 switch can be used for the L 2 switch processing unit 3. The cost of the switch device can be reduced.
- the queue used by the queue designation notification is not limited to the queue used in Embodiments 1 to 11, but may be set in any way depending on the application used.
- the MAC frame input to the switch device in the present invention is, for example, a PPPoE frame having a PPPoE header between a MAC frame header and an IP header as shown in FIG. It doesn't matter.
- the information analyzed by the switch device according to the present invention is not limited to the information shown in the first to eleventh embodiments, but includes layer 2 control information, layer 3 control information, and layer 4 control in a MAC frame. Information or any information in the upper layer of layer 5 or higher may be used.
- the switch device according to the present invention is useful for a network configured by Ethernet (registered trademark), and is particularly suitable for a switch device that transfers a layer 2 MAC frame.
