实施本发明的方式
为了使本发明的目的、技术方案及优点更加清楚明白,下面结合附图并举实施例,对本发明的技术方案进行详细说明。
在跨SDN进行虚拟机(Virtual Machine,VM)通信时,需要进行如下的过 程:
在第一SDN中,虚拟可扩展局域网隧道端点(VXLAN Tunnel End Point,VTEP)设备接收到VM发送的数据报文时,进行VXLAN封装,并通过VXLAN隧道转发给VXLAN IP GW。当VXLAN IP GW接收到VTEP设备发送的VXLAN封装后的数据报文时,进行网络地址转换(Network Address Translation,NAT),然后再通过IP转发到第二SDN的VXLAN IP GW设备。
在第二SDN中,VXLAN IP GW设备进行NAT转换,将进入VXLAN IP GW的报文的源IP地址NAT转换成VM的IP地址,然后再进行VXLAN报文的封装,向VTEP设备进行转发。到了与第二SDN中的服务器相连的VTEP设备之后,再进行VXLAN报文的解分装。
在上述完成跨SDN的VM之间的通信过程中,需要进行多次的封装/解封装的操作。
本申请实施例中提供一种数据报文转发方法,用于实现数据报文在跨SDN中的传输。
在进行跨SDN传输数据报文之前,各SDN中的SDN控制器之间需要建立连接用于通信。在一个实施例中,可以建立BGP连接。
在VTEP设备上,配置针对VXLAN的NAT功能,用于进行NAT处理,并配置该VTEP下挂的服务器的主机的私网地址和公网地址的NAT映射关系。本申请实施例中的主机可以是一台物理设备,也可以是一个VM,下文均以VM为例进行实施例说明。
该VTEP设备配置使能VXLAN本地网关功能,该VTEP设备将配置的NAT映射关系上报给SDN控制器。
任一SDN控制器接收自身管理的SDN中的VTEP设备上报的NAT映射关系时,进行存储,并将该NAT映射关系同步给其它SDN中的SDN控制器;所述NAT映射关系为所述VTEP设备配置的其下挂的服务器中的VM的私网地址和公网地址的NAT映射关系。
该SDN控制器接收到其它SDN中的SDN控制器同步的NAT映射关系时,进行存储。
通过上述处理过程,每个SDN控制器均获取并存储各个SDN中的VM的私网地址和公网地址的NAT映射关系。
参见图1,图1为本申请实施例中的VXLAN组网示意图。
针对SDN1,为VTEP设备1配置NAT功能,并配置使能本地网关功能。
VTEP设备1配置VM1的私网地址100.1.1.1/24和公网地址11.1.1.1的NAT映射关系,并上报给SDN控制器1。
SDN控制器1接收到VTEP设备1上报的NAT映射关系进行存储,并同步给SDN2中的SDN控制器2。
SDN控制器2接收到SDN控制器1同步的上述NAT映射关系后,在本地进行存储。
针对SDN2,为VTEP设备2配置NAT功能,并配置使能本地网关功能。
VTEP设备2配置VM2的私网地址110.1.1.1/24和公网地址12.1.1.1的NAT映射关系,并上报给SDN控制器2。
SDN控制器2接收到VTEP设备2上报的NAT映射关系进行存储,并同步给SDN1中的SDN控制器1。
SDN控制器1接收到SDN控制器2同步的上述NAT映射关系后,在本地进行存储。
这样,SDN控制器1和SDN控制器2上都存储了VM1和VM2的NAT映射关系。参见表1,表1为SDN控制器1和SDN控制器2上存储的NAT映射关系。
私网地址 公网地址
110.1.1.1 12.1.1.1
100.1.1.1 11.1.1.1
表1
在表1中,第二行内容为VM2的私网地址和公网地址的NAT映射关系,第三行内容为VM1的私网地址和公网地址的NAT映射关系。
通过上述操作,VTEP设备1和VTEP设备2之间建立了VXLAN隧道。
下面结合附图,详细说明本申请实施例中实现虚拟可扩展局域网中数据报文转发过程。
参见图2,图2为本申请实施例中VTEP设备转发来自VM的数据报文的流程示意图。具体步骤为:
步骤201,当VTEP设备通过私网接口接收到数据报文时,根据所述数据报文的第一目的IP地址进行流表匹配。
当该VTEP设备匹配到转发所述数据报文的流表时,根据所述数据报文的流表处理并转发所述数据报文。
步骤202,当该VTEP未匹配到转发所述数据报文的流表时,向SDN控制器发送流表请求,这样,SDN控制器若确定对该数据报文进行跨SDN转发,则根据存储的各个SDN中的VM的私网地址和公网地址的NAT映射关系,以及网络拓扑信息下发流表。
当该SDN控制器接收到VTEP设备上报的流表请求时,如果确定对该数据报文进行跨SDN转发,根据所述数据报文的第一目的IP地址在本地查找对应的NAT映射关系,即查找所述数据报文的第一目的IP地址对应的公网地址。
该SDN控制器根据查找到的NAT映射关系,以及网络拓扑信息生成转发所述数据报文的流表。
所述流表包括:匹配信息(所述数据报文的第一目的IP地址)、针对第一源IP地址进行NAT处理指令、封装信息(数据报文的第一目的IP地址对应的NAT映射关系、目的MAC地址为下一跳设备的MAC地址和所述公网地址对应的VXLAN标识)和出接口。
步骤203,该VTEP设备接收到所述SDN控制器下发的流表时,根据所述 流表将所述数据报文的第一源IP地址进行NAT处理,并根据所述流表中的封装信息对进行NAT处理后的数据报文进行VXLAN封装;再通过所述流表中的出接口发送该封装后的报文。
其中,步骤203中的封装信息中的第二目的IP地址为接收到的数据报文的第一目的IP地址对应的公网地址。
在具体实现时,在流表中可以包括对第一源IP地址进行NAT处理指令,但不包括将第一源IP地址进行NAT处理后的IP地址;该流表中也可以包括该指令和将第一源IP地址进行NAT处理后的IP地址。当流表中包括对第一源IP地址进行NAT处理指令但不包括将第一源IP地址进行NAT处理后的IP地址时,根据本地配置的VM的NAT映射关系对第一源IP地址进行NAT处理。
根据所述流表中的封装信息,该VTEP设备将进行NAT处理后的数据报文进行VXLAN封装。在进行VXLAN封装时,封装的第二目的IP地址为封装信息中的第一目的IP地址的公网地址、目的MAC地址为封装信息中的MAC地址,封装的第二源IP地址为对本VTEP设备第一源IP地址进行NAT处理后的IP地址,源MAC地址为本VTEP设备的MAC地址,VXLAN ID为封装信息中的VXLAN标识。
该VTEP设备将进行VXLAN封装的报文通过流表中的出接口转发后,该VXLAN报文在本VTEP设备与第二目的IP地址对应的VTEP设备之间通过建立的VXLAN隧道进行转发,直到第二目的IP地址对应的VTEP设备。
参见图3,图3为本申请实施例中VTEP设备向VM发送数据报文的流程示意图。具体步骤为:
步骤301,VTEP设备通过公网接口接收到目的IP地址为本VTEP设备的IP地址的VXLAN报文时,进行解封装后获得数据报文;并根据所述数据报文的目的IP地址进行流表匹配。
该VTEP设备匹配到转发所述数据报文的流表时,根据所述数据报文的流表处理并转发所述数据报文。
步骤302,该VTEP设备当未匹配到转发所述数据报文的流表时,向SDN控制器发送流表请求,使所述SDN控制器根据存储的各个SDN中的VM的私网地址和公网地址的NAT映射关系以及网络拓扑信息下发流表。
SDN控制器接收到该流表请求时,SDN控制器根据本地存储的NAT映射关系和网络拓扑信息生成流表并下发给所述VTEP设备。
生成的流表包括:匹配信息(数据报文的目的IP地址)、源IP地址对应的NAT映射关系(用于将数据报文的源IP地址替换为NAT映射关系中的私网地址)和出接口。
步骤303,该VTEP设备接收到所述SDN控制器下发的流表时,根据流表中的源IP地址对应的NAT映射关系对数据报文的源IP地址进行NAT处理,并通过所述流表中的出接口转发进行NAT处理后的数据报文。
VTEP设备进行的NAT处理为,将数据报文的源IP地址替换为NAT映射关系中的私网地址。
参见图4,图4为本申请实施例中SDN控制设备转发来自VM的数据报文的流程示意图。具体步骤为:
步骤401,当SDN控制器接收到VTEP设备针对通过私网接口接收到的数据报文而发送的流表请求且确定该数据报文为跨SDN转发时,根据所述数据报文的第一目的IP地址查找NAT映射关系。
步骤402,该SDN控制器根据查找到的NAT映射关系以及网络拓扑信息生成转发所述数据报文的流表并下发给所述VTEP设备,这样,所述VTEP设备对所述数据报文进行第一源IP地址的NAT处理后,根据所述流表中封装信息对进行NAT处理后的数据报文进行VXLAN封装,并通过所述流表中的出接口发送。
其中,本步骤中的封装信息中的第二目的IP地址为查找到的NAT映射关系中的第一目的IP地址对应的公网地址。
具体实现时,流表包括详细内容为:匹配信息(所述数据报文的第一目的 IP地址)、针对第一源IP地址进行NAT处理指令、封装信息(数据报文的第一目的IP地址对应的NAT映射关系、目的MAC地址为下一跳设备的MAC地址和所述公网地址对应的VXLAN标识)和出接口。
VTEP设备接收到该SDN控制器下发的上述流表后,将所述数据报文的第一源IP地址进行NAT处理,并将进行NAT处理后的数据报文进行VXLAN封装,在进行VXLAN封装时,封装的第二目的IP地址为封装信息中的公网地址、目的MAC地址为封装信息中的MAC地址,封装的第二源IP地址为本VTEP设备的第一源IP地址对应的公网IP地址,源MAC地址为本VTEP设备的MAC地址,VXLAN ID为封装信息中的VXLAN标识。
VTEP设备将进行VXLAN封装后的报文通过流表中的出接口发送。
参见图5,图5为本申请实施例中SDN控制设备向VM侧发送数据报文的流程示意图。具体步骤为:
步骤501,SDN控制器接收到来自VTEP设备的针对通过公网接口接收到并解封装后的数据报文的流表请求时,根据所述数据报文的源IP地址查找NAT映射关系。
步骤502,该SDN控制器根据查找到的NAT映射关系,以及网络拓扑信息生成流表并下发给所述VTEP设备。这样,所述VTEP设备使用所述流表中的源IP地址对应的NAT映射关系对所述数据报文的源IP地址进行NAT处理,并通过所述流表中的出接口发送。
其中,生成的流表包括:匹配信息(数据报文的源IP地址)、源IP地址对应的NAT映射关系(用于将数据报文的源IP地址替换为NAT映射关系中的私网地址)和出接口。
该VTEP设备接收到所述SDN控制器下发的流表时,根据流表中的NAT映射关系对数据报文的源IP地址进行NAT处理,并通过所述流表中的出接口转发进行NAT处理后的数据报文。其中,VTEP设备进行的NAT处理为,将数据报文的源IP地址替换为NAT映射关系中的私网地址。
下面结合网络附图,详细说明跨SDN的数据报文转发的过程。
仍然以图1为例,当VM1和VM2之间需要通信,VM1构造源IP地址为100.1.1.1,目的IP地址为110.1.1.1的数据报文,并发送给VTEP设备1。
VTEP设备1接收到上述数据报文时,根据数据报文的目的IP地址110.1.1.1匹配流表。
假设未匹配到对应的流表,则向SDN控制器1发送流表请求,并在发送的流表请求中携带接收数据报文的接口1,这样,SDN控制器根据该接收数据报文的接口1获知该数据报文为来自VM的数据报文。
SDN控制器接收到流表请求。当根据所述数据报文的目的IP地址确定对该数据报文进行跨SDN转发时,查找到目的IP地址110.1.1.1对应的NAT映射关系,见表1中的第二行(110.1.1.1:12.1.1.1)。
然后查找拓扑信息确定下一跳对应的MAC地址(VXLAN IP网关的MAC地址)和出接口(接口2),生成转发所述数据报文的流表。
该流表的具体内容为:匹配信息(110.1.1.1)、针对源IP地址进行NAT处理(可以包括NAT映射关系,也可以不包括NAT映射关系);封装信息(12.1.1.1、目的MAC地址为下一跳设备的MAC地址(VXLAN IP网关1的MAC地址)和所述公网地址对应的VXLAN标识)和出接口(接口1)。
VTEP设备1接收到上述流表时,首先针对数据报文的源IP地址进行NAT处理,即将数据报文的源IP地址100.1.1.1进行NAT处理后,转换为IP地址11.1.1.1;其次,对进行NAT处理的数据报文进行VXLAN封装,封装的目的IP地址为12.1.1.1,源IP地址为VTEP1的IP地址11.1.1.1;目的MAC地址为VXLAN IP网关1的MAC地址,源NAC地址为VTEP设备1的MAC地址。
VTEP设备1将进行VXLAN封装的报文通过流表中的出接口转发。
进行VXLAN封装的报文在VTEP设备1和VTEP设备2之间通过VXLAN隧道转发,途中经过各设备时,根据VXLAN报文的目的IP地址进行转发,直到报文备传输到VTEP设备2。
VTEP设备2接收到VXLAN报文时,确定目的IP地址为本VTEP设备的IP地址时,解封装所述VXLAN报文,获得数据报文。
VTEP设备2根据该数据报文的目的IP地址查找对应的流表,若未查找到对应的流表,则向SDN控制器2发送流表请求,并携带接口3的信息,使SDN控制器2获知通过公网侧接收到的VXLAN报文并解封装后的数据报文。
VTEP设备2根据所述数据报文的源IP地址11.1.1.1查找对应的NAT映射关系,根据查找到NAT映射关系,以及网络拓扑信息生成流表并下发给VTEP设备2。
流表包括:匹配信息(110.10.1.1)、源IP地址对应的NAT映射关系(数据报文的源IP地址对应为NAT映射关系中的私网地址)和出接口(出接口4)。
VTEP设备2接收到上述流表后,针对所述数据报文的源IP地址进行NAT处理,即将源IP地址11.1.1.1进行NAT处理为100.1.1.1,并通过流表中的出接口发送给VM2。
至此,数据报文由VM1跨SDN传输到VM2的过程结束。
