A central SDN controller is arranged at a remote network node and, at the same time, a local SDN controller is arranged on a proximal network node; the central SDN controller of the remote network node and the local SDN controller on the proximal network node jointly manage an SDN device on the proximal network node. For example, when the proximal network node is in the initial phase of being powered on or is otherwise unable to connect to the central SDN controller of the remote network node due to core network disconnection, management of the local SDN device can be implemented by the local SDN controller arranged locally, thus increasing the reliability of SDN device management; also for example, when the proximal network node needs to forward packets via an SDN controller, the local SDN controller can be selected directly for forwarding, thus obviating the need to first forward the packets to the remote network node and then forward via the SDN controller of the remote network node; therefore, forwarding efficiency and performance can be increased.

The standardized control protocol and software-based network interface advocated by SDN provide good support for unified management of resources and innovation of services, which can provide users with better network experience and enhance the value of the network. Wireless operators also want to integrate SDN equipment in their own wireless communication equipment, provide SDN capabilities, and enhance the network value of their own wireless devices.

The deployment of the wireless base station equipment has its own characteristics, and the base station equipment is usually deployed in the corresponding area according to the coverage requirement, and then connected to the core network through the transmission equipment. If the SDN controller is deployed on the base station side, the SDN devices on the base station side cannot be managed uniformly. Therefore, the SDN controller is deployed in the inner room of the central device at the remote end of the network. SDN devices are managed. The following problems exist in the deployment management mode: (1) The base station does not establish a connection with the remote equipment room at the initial stage of power-on. At this time, the remote SDN controller cannot manage the SDN equipment on the base station side; (2) if there is a base station The packet that needs to be forwarded by the SDN controller needs to be forwarded by the remote SDN controller, and the path is far away and the performance is low. (3) If the transmission link between the base station and the equipment room side is interrupted, the SDN controller is on the base station. The management of SDN equipment will also be invalid and the reliability will be low.

实施例一:Embodiment 1:
请参见图1所示,本实施例中软件定义网络管理方法包括:Referring to FIG. 1, the software-defined network management method in this embodiment includes:
步骤101:在网络远端节点布置中心软件定义网络控制器,在网络近端节点上布置本地软件定义网络控制器;Step 101: Arranging a central software definition network controller at a remote node of the network, and arranging a local software definition network controller on the network proximal node;
步骤102:中心软件定义网络控制器和网络近端节点上的本地软件定义网络控制器联合对网络近端节点上的软件定义网络设备进行管理。例如,在网络近端节点上电初期或与核心网断链等其他未能与网络远端节点的中心软件定义网络控制器连接时,可直接通过本地布置的本地SDN控制器实现对本地SDN设备的管理,提升SDN设备管理的可靠性;又例如,当网络近端节点需要通过SDN控制器进行报文转发时,可直接选用本地SDN控制器转发,并不需要先将报文发送到网络远端节点,再经由网络远端节点的SDN控制器转发,因此可以提升转发效率和性能。Step 102: The central software definition network controller and the local software defined network controller on the network near end node jointly manage the software defined network device on the network near end node. For example, when the network near-end node is powered on or connected to a central software-defined network controller that is not connected to the remote node of the network, such as a core network disconnection, the local SDN device can be directly implemented through the locally-configured local SDN controller. Management, to improve the reliability of SDN device management; for example, when the network near-end node needs to forward packets through the SDN controller, it can directly use the local SDN controller to forward, and does not need to send the packet to the network far. The end node is forwarded via the SDN controller of the remote node of the network, thereby improving forwarding efficiency and performance.
上述步骤101中,在网络近端节点上布置本地软件定义网络控制器时,包括将网络近端节点上软件定义网络设备的管理参数配置到该网络近端节点的本地软件定义网络控制器上。本实施例中软件定义网络设备的管理参数包括但不限于配置信息、设备能力信息、链路信息和拓扑信息中的至少一种。In the foregoing step 101, when the local software-defined network controller is disposed on the network near-end node, the management parameter of the software-defined network device on the network near-end node is configured to the local software-defined network controller of the near-end node of the network. The management parameters of the software-defined network device in this embodiment include, but are not limited to, at least one of configuration information, device capability information, link information, and topology information.
在本实施例中,在网络近端节点上布置本地软件定义网络控制器后,网络近端节点上电后,也即网络近端节点运行过程中,网络近端节点上的本地软件定义网络控制器在检测到网络近端节点上软件定义网络设备的管理数据有改变时,获取更新改变后的管理数据。In this embodiment, after the local software-defined network controller is disposed on the network near-end node, after the network near-end node is powered on, that is, during the operation of the network near-end node, the local software-defined network control on the network near-end node When detecting that the management data of the software-defined network device on the near-end node of the network changes, the management data of the updated change is acquired.
本实施例中,在网络远端节点布置中心软件定义网络控制器也许将网络近端节点上软件定义网络设备的管理参数配置到中心软件定义网络控制器上。本实施例中网络远端节点还可布置核心网设备。核心网设备和中心软件定义网络控制器可以使用以太网进行连接通信,也可以处于不同子网,通过IP网络进行通信。本实施例中可直接通过网络近端节点上的各软件定义网络设备直接或通过核心网设备将相关管理参数发给中心软件定义网络控制器进行配置;还可直接利用网络近端节点上的本地软件定义网络控制器实现将网
络近端节点上各软件定义网络设备的管理参数直接或通过核心网设备发给网络远端节点的中心软件定义网络控制器,因为本地软件定义网络控制器具有网络近端节点上各软件定义网络设备的管理参数,这样可以提升配置效率并提升资源利用率。通过网络近端节点上的本地软件定义网络控制器将网络近端节点上软件定义网络设备的管理参数发给中心软件定义网络控制器包括:In this embodiment, the central software defined network controller at the remote node of the network may configure the management parameters of the software-defined network device on the network near-end node to the central software-defined network controller. In this embodiment, the network remote node may also arrange the core network device. The core network device and the central software define the network controller to use Ethernet for connection communication, or to be on different subnets to communicate over the IP network. In this embodiment, the software-defined network device on the near-end node of the network can directly send the relevant management parameters to the central software-defined network controller for configuration directly or through the core network device; and can also directly use the local device on the near-end node of the network. Software-defined network controller implementation
The management parameters of each software-defined network device on the near-end node are directly or through the core network device to the central software defined network controller of the remote node of the network, because the local software-defined network controller has software-defined networks on the network near-end node Management parameters of the device, which can improve configuration efficiency and improve resource utilization. Sending the management parameters of the software-defined network device on the network near-end node to the central software-defined network controller through the local software-defined network controller on the network near-end node includes:
在网络近端节点上电且与中心软件定义网络控制器连接后,网络近端节点上的本地软件定义网络控制器将网络近端节点上软件定义网络设备的管理参数发给所述中心软件定义网络控制器;此时的管理参数是各软件定义网络设备初始时设定的管理参数。在网络近端节点正常运行过程中,各软件定义网络设备的管理参数可能会发生变化,此时网络近端节点上的本地软件定义网络控制器还可将获取的网络近端节点上软件定义网络设备改变后的管理参数也发给中心软件定义网络控制器进行更新。After the network proximal node is powered on and connected to the central software defined network controller, the local software defined network controller on the network near end node sends the management parameters of the software defined network device on the network near end node to the central software definition. The network controller; the management parameters at this time are the management parameters initially set by each software-defined network device. During the normal operation of the near-end node of the network, the management parameters of each software-defined network device may change. At this time, the local software-defined network controller on the near-end node of the network may also obtain the software-defined network on the near-end node of the network. The management parameters after the device change are also sent to the central software definition network controller for updating.
网络远端节点的中心软件定义网络控制器通过上述方式获取到各网络近端节点上的软件定义网络设备的管理参数后,即可以实现对网络近端节点上的软件定义网络设备的管理参数进行控制。各网络近端节点本地的软件定义网络控制器也具有本地各软件定义网络设备的管理参数,因此也可以实现对网络近端节点本地各软件定义网络设备的管理。本实施例中中心软件定义网络控制器、各网络近端节点上各软件定义网络控制器都具有自己的通信地址,且软件定义网络控制器之间的通信地址各不相同;相应的业务软件可通过对应的通信地址(例如IP)访问到对应的软件定义网络控制器从而发起网络服务请求。本实施例中网络近端节点上的业务软件可通过网络近端节点上对应的软件定义网络设备将网络服务请求发给对应的软件定义网络控制器。After the central software of the remote node of the network defines the management parameters of the software-defined network device on the near-end node of each network, the management parameters of the software-defined network device on the near-end node of the network can be implemented. control. The software-defined network controllers local to each network near-end node also have management parameters of local software-defined network devices, so that it is also possible to manage the software-defined network devices locally on the network near-end nodes. In this embodiment, the central software definition network controller and each software-defined network controller on each network proximal node have their own communication addresses, and the communication addresses between the software-defined network controllers are different; the corresponding service software may be A network service request is initiated by accessing a corresponding software defined network controller through a corresponding communication address (eg, IP). In this embodiment, the service software on the near-end node of the network may send the network service request to the corresponding software-defined network controller through the corresponding software-defined network device on the near-end node of the network.
根据上述分析可知,本实施例中网络远端节点的中心软件定义网络控制器和网络近端节点侧的本地软件定义网络控制器都具备软件定义网络设备管理功能。因此可根据不同的应用场景有效联合二者对软件定义网络设备进行管理可以提升管理的可靠性、稳定性以及灵活性。下面分别以几种应用场景为示例进行说明。According to the above analysis, the central software defined network controller of the remote node of the network and the local software defined network controller of the network proximal node side in this embodiment all have software defined network device management functions. Therefore, effectively managing the network-defined network devices according to different application scenarios can improve the reliability, stability, and flexibility of management. The following describes several application scenarios as examples.
网络近端节点初始上电时,此时网络近端节点还未同网络远端节点的核心网设备建立连接,也即还未与网络远端节点的中心软件定义网络控制器建
立连接,此时网络近端节点上的本地软件定义网络控制器在网络近端节点上电过程中,对该网络近端节点的软件定义网络设备进行管理。且在网络近端节点上电过程中,网络近端节点上相关业务软件的网络服务请求(也即SDN网络服务请求)也可通过本地软件定义网络控制器进行处理,也即网络近端节点上的本地软件定义网络控制器在网络近端节点上电过程中还可用于对相关业务软件的网络服务器请求进行处理。在网络近端节点上电完成且与网络远端节点的中心软件定义网络控制器建立连接后,网络近端节点的本地软件定义网络控制器将网络近端节点上软件定义网络设备的管理参数同步给中心软件定义网络控制器。When the network near-end node is initially powered on, the network near-end node has not yet established a connection with the core network device of the remote node of the network, that is, the central software defined network controller of the remote node of the network has not been established.
The connection is established. At this time, the local software-defined network controller on the near-end node of the network manages the software-defined network device of the near-end node of the network during the power-on process of the near-end node of the network. And during the power-on process of the near-end node of the network, the network service request (that is, the SDN network service request) of the related service software on the near-end node of the network may also be processed by the local software-defined network controller, that is, the network near-end node The local software-defined network controller can also be used to process the network server request of the relevant service software during the power-on process of the network near-end node. After the network near-end node is powered on and connected with the central software-defined network controller of the remote node of the network, the local software-defined network controller of the network near-end node synchronizes the management parameters of the software-defined network device on the near-end node of the network. Define a network controller for the central software.
在网络近端节点正常运行过程中,网络近端节点上的本地软件定义网络控制器在该网络近端节点侧的报文需通过软件定义网络控制器转发时,优先对该报文进行转发;也即网络近端节点侧的报文需要通过软件定义网络控制器转发报文时,采用优选采用网络近端节点上的本地软件定义网络控制器进行转发的转发策略,当本地软件定义网络控制器转发所述报文失败时,再采用网络远端节点的中心软件定义网络控制器对该报文进行转发。这样可以提升转发效率。During the normal operation of the network near-end node, the local software-defined network controller on the near-end node of the network forwards the packet preferentially when the packet on the near-end node of the network needs to be forwarded by the software-defined network controller. That is, when the packet on the near-end node of the network needs to forward the packet through the software-defined network controller, the forwarding policy is preferably implemented by using the local software on the near-end node of the network to forward the network controller, and the local software defines the network controller. When the packet fails to be forwarded, the network controller of the remote node of the network is used to define the network controller to forward the packet. This can improve forwarding efficiency.
网络近端节点上电正常运行过程中,当网络近端节点侧本地运行的业务软件有网络服务请求时,优选采用网络近端节点上的本地软件定义网络控制器对该网络服务请求进行处理;当本地软件定义网络控制器处理失败时,再采用网络远端节点的中心软件定义网络控制器对该网络服务请求进行处理。本实施例中无线网络近端节点侧的本地软件定义网络只管理本网络近端节点上的软件定义网络设备,不管理其他网络近端节点上的软件定义网络设备。During the normal operation of the network near-end node, when the service software running locally on the near-end node side of the network has a network service request, the local software defined network controller on the near-end node of the network is preferably used to process the network service request; When the local software-defined network controller fails to process, the network controller of the remote node of the network is used to define the network controller to process the network service request. In this embodiment, the local software-defined network on the near-end node side of the wireless network manages only the software-defined network devices on the near-end nodes of the network, and does not manage the software-defined network devices on the near-end nodes of other networks.
网络近端节点正常运行过程中,当需要对多个网络近端节点上的软件定义网络设备同时配置时,中心软件定义网络控制器需发给多个网络近端节点的软件定义网络设备的配置信息下发给多个网络近端节点实现对多个网络近端节点的统一管理。During the normal operation of the network near-end node, when the software-defined network devices on the near-end nodes of multiple networks need to be configured at the same time, the central software defines the configuration of the software-defined network device that the network controller needs to send to the near-end nodes of multiple networks. The information is sent to multiple network near-end nodes to implement unified management of multiple network near-end nodes.
网络近端节点正常运行过程中,网络近端节点与中心软件定义网络控制器音传输等问题断开连接时,网络近端节点上的本地软件定义网络控制器对网络近端节点上的软件定义网络设备进行管理;并在网络近端节点与中心软
