  • the embodiment of the invention provides a method for implementing single-flow forwarding of a multi-network processing unit. As shown in FIG. 3, the method includes the following steps:
  • Step s301 The single stream data received from the user side or the network side is allocated to a plurality of network processing units for processing.
  • the processing specifically includes: sorting the received data, and assigning the sorting identifier, and then transmitting the data of the assigned sorting identifier to the plurality of network processing units. Due to the differences in the processing flow of the NP forwarding engine itself, the difference in access to the memory when the table entries are searched, and the differences in the PCB (Print Circuit Board) traces, the delay of the single-stream data is delayed. . Therefore, the sequence number byte is added before the data message before entering the NP, and then sent to the NP for processing.
  • load balancing, congestion control, and the like can also be performed on the received data.

  • the processing specifically includes: reordering the data processed by the plurality of network processing units according to the sorting identifier, and synthesizing the single stream data to be sent; the sorting and the ending of the serial number are completed by adding the relative direction logic to the sequence number.
  • n NPs are n queues, and the timing query data is sent to the cache state before each NP. If the cache corresponding to one or all NPs overflows, it is considered that A problem occurs in the NP or all NPs, and the traffic originally allocated to the NP is discarded until the corresponding cache has no overflow.
  • FQ Frequeuing
  • the data traffic is allocated to multiple NPs in a reasonable and balanced manner according to the processing capabilities of each service and each NP, and the maximum efficiency utilization NP processing resource can use the load balancing algorithm.
  • the load balancing algorithm has a polling equalization, a weighted polling equalization, a random equalization, a weighted random equalization, and a processing capability equalization.
  • each NP has the same performance and hardware and software configuration, so the polling equalization plus processing capability is used. Balanced integration is more appropriate. Specifically, the data packet entered by the interface is polled and assigned to each NP, such as the data packet P1 enters NP1, the data packet P2 enters NP2, ....
  • the data packet Pn enters NPn, so that the data packet allocation is based on the NP processing capability.
  • the packet processing rate is used for equalization.
  • the buffer remaining space on the NP sending side should also be considered to adjust the allocation. For example, when the data packet Pn+1 is entered into NP1 and the data packet Pn+2 is selected, NP2 is selected.
  • ⁇ NPn corresponds to the largest cache remaining space, to achieve the purpose of optimal load balancing.

  • the above congestion control function is usually added to the total traffic entrance instead of the NP entry. This is because: The router IP congestion control algorithm is for different connections, discards according to certain policies, and balances all traffic. Assigned to multiple NPs, so the same connection will be dispersed into n streams. If congestion control is placed in each NP, the weighted congestion control algorithm will not be implemented accurately, such as WFQ ( Weighted Fair Queuing).

  • the message sequence number is used to ensure the strict sequence of the message, and the message sequence number is added at the total traffic, if at each NP. Discarding packets will result in missing and discontinuous message sequence numbers.

At present, physical link backup and important board-level backup are widely used to ensure high reliability. As the most important interface in the router, the NP forwarding processing module should also implement module-level n+1 backup. .
  • the n+1 backup of the NP module can be easily implemented by using the network processing unit backup control function. For example, normal single-stream traffic requires n NPs to process, and NP backup units are added for backup. The fault detection mechanism of the NP is judged by the overflow status of the independent FIFO (First In First Out) sent to each NP. If the overflow state is detected at a certain time, the system starts the backup function and sends the backup function to the NP. The traffic is forwarded to the backup NP.
