Example 1

The method embodiment provided in Embodiment 1 of the present application can be executed in a controller or the like. Taking the operation on the controller as an example, FIG. 1 is a hardware structural block diagram of a controller of the device processing method according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, controller 10 may include one or more (only one shown) processor 102 (processor 102 may include, but is not limited to, a processing device such as a microprocessor MCU or a programmable logic device FPGA) A memory 104 for storing data, and a transmission device 106 for communication functions. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the structure shown in FIG. 1 is merely illustrative and does not limit the structure of the above electronic device. For example, controller 10 may also include more or fewer components than shown in Figure 1, or have A different configuration than that shown in FIG.

The memory 104 can be used to store corresponding data and software programs and modules of the application software, such as program instructions/modules corresponding to the device processing method in the embodiment of the present invention, and the processor 102 runs the software program and the module stored in the memory 104, thereby The above methods are implemented by performing various functional applications and data processing. Memory 104 may include high speed random access memory, and may also include non-volatile memory such as one or more magnetic storage devices, flash memory, or other non-volatile solid state memory. In some examples, memory 104 may further include memory remotely located relative to processor 102, which may be coupled to controller 10 via a network.

The network specific examples described above may include a wireless network provided by a communication provider of the controller 10. In one example, the transmission device 106 includes a Network Interface Controller (NIC) that can be connected to other network devices through a base station to communicate with the Internet. In one example, the transmission device 106 can be a Radio Frequency (RF) module for communicating with the Internet wirelessly.

The embodiment of the present application can be run on the network architecture shown in FIG. 2, where FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a network architecture of a device processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the network architecture of the network is divided into an access domain, a convergence domain, and a core domain, and the left and right are symmetric. The network includes the access device ACC, the aggregation device AGG, the homebrew system border device ASBR, and the device P in each domain.

As shown in FIG. 2, for the above network architecture, a Software Defined Network (SDN) controller is used to manage the network, and the separation between the control plane and the forwarding plane can be achieved. The SDN controller is divided into two layers. Each domain is managed by a single domain controller, that is, a D controller. On the D controller, a multi-domain controller, that is, an H controller, is used to centrally manage the entire network. That is, in the hierarchical network architecture, each domain is separately managed using the D controller, and the entire network is managed using the H controller.

In order to ensure the reliability of the network, the D controller and the H controller of each domain can have two controllers in active and standby, and the D controller is connected to at least two devices in the domain (D controller general and intra-domain boundaries) The device is connected).

For example, a hierarchical controller can be more than two layers, depending on the size of the network. The carrier network may also include more or less domains than those shown in FIG. 3 (the access domain and the aggregation domain are divided according to actual conditions, and are not limited to two or the same number or both, and the core domain is not It is limited to two), or has a different network architecture than that shown in Figure 2 (access domain, aggregation domain, and symmetric domain left and right asymmetric, or divided into different domain types than Figure 2). In addition, in addition to the D controller and the H controller described above, other types of controllers that can control network devices in separate domains and second type controllers that can control one or more first types of controllers , can achieve the purpose of hierarchical management of the network.

In this embodiment, a device processing method running on the controller or the network architecture is provided. FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a device processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the process includes the following steps:

Step S302, determining a controller type of a controller for performing service processing, where the controller type includes: a first type controller that controls network devices in a separate domain, and controls one or more first types a second type of controller that controls the domain, and the separate domain is a domain obtained by dividing a network architecture of a predetermined network;

Step S304, processing the service of the predetermined network according to the determined controller type.

Through the above steps, the network is hierarchically managed by using the controller: the first type controller is used to control the individual domain, and the second type controller controls the plurality of first type controllers to control the multiple domains, and The service of the network is processed according to the controller type, which solves the problem of high complexity of network management and maintenance and service deployment of the carrier in the related technologies, and reduces the complexity of network management and maintenance and service deployment.

Optionally, in the case that the controller for performing business processing is the first type controller, Step S304 may further include: collecting, by the southbound interface, original topology information of the network device in the first type controller control domain, where the original topology information includes connection information between the network devices in the first type controller control domain; and the original topology information according to the collected And determining, by the first type of controller, topology information of the network device in the control domain, and processing the service of the predetermined network according to the determined topology information.

In the case that the controller for performing service processing is the first type controller, that is, the determined controller type is a first type controller that controls network devices in a separate domain, and the first type controller can pass SNMP. The southbound interface, such as NETCONFIG and BGP-LS, collects the original topology information of the network device in the controlled domain. The original topology information here may be the connection information between the nodes in the control domain of the first type controller. Based on the collected original topology information, it may be determined that the first type of controller controls topology information between network devices in the domain. The connection information between the network devices in the control domain of the first type controller may be determined by the topology information between the network devices. Therefore, the topology information of the network devices in the domain may be controlled according to the determined first type controller. The business of the network is processed.

According to the foregoing technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, in the case that the controller for performing the service processing is the first type controller, determining the topology information of the network device in the control domain of the first type controller according to the collected original topology information. And processing the business according to the topology, reducing the complexity of business processing.

Optionally, determining, according to the collected original topology information, the topology information of the network device in the control domain of the first type of controller may be in multiple manners, for example, according to the connection relationship between the network devices in the original topology information, A type of controller controls the topology information of the connection relationship between all devices in the domain. For example, based on the collected original topology information, the role and the location topology of the device in the network may be abstracted according to the location of the device, and the boundary node and the service in the control domain of the first type controller may be reserved. The key nodes of the deployment (such as ACC, AGG, and ASBR nodes in the network) filter out intermediate nodes and/or non-critical nodes (such as P nodes) to determine the topology information of the network devices in the first type of controller control domain.

For the case where multiple loops are included in the same first type controller domain, multiple types can be used. The method determines the topology information of the network device in the control domain of the first type of the controller, for example, the topology information may be determined by using the foregoing manner of establishing topology information, and, for example, may also be based on an internal gateway protocol run by the first type of controller ( The Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) performs sub-topology division on the confirmed topology information, and the divided sub-topology corresponds to the number of access rings included in the first type controller.

When the topology information of the first type controller is determined, the information about the intermediate nodes included in the connection information in the original topology information is removed, which reduces the complexity of the topology information and improves the efficiency of the service processing. .

Optionally, the service of the service of the predetermined network may be processed according to the determined topology information, for example, the service deployment information delivered by the second type controller to which the received first type controller belongs, and the The first type of controller controls the topology information of the network device in the domain, and performs service deployment. The service configuration may include delivering a corresponding border gateway protocol (BGP) to the node related to the service in the control domain of the first type of controller. And configuring, for example, adding, changing, deleting, etc., the service-related nodes in the control domain of the first type controller according to the determined topology information.

With the foregoing technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, the first type of controller performs service deployment and service according to the service deployment information delivered by the controller of the second type of the controller and the topology information of the network device in the domain controller of the first type controller. The deployment is automatically completed through the interaction between controllers, which reduces user operations and reduces the complexity of service deployment.

Optionally, in the case that the controller for performing the service processing is the second type of controller, the step S304 may further include: receiving the topology information of the network device in the corresponding control domain reported by the one or more first type controllers. The received topology information includes one or more first type controllers corresponding to the connection information between the network devices in the control domain; and according to the received topology information, determining the total topology information of the network devices in the second type controller control domain The service of the predetermined network is processed according to the total topology information.

The second type controller receives the topology information of the network device in the corresponding control domain reported by each first type controller controlled by the controller, and determines the network configuration in the control domain according to the received topology information. The total topology information of the backup device performs processing of the predetermined network service according to the determined total topology information. Since the second type controller has the total topology information of the network devices in its control domain, the service processing entry is single, and only the second type controller can be operated.

According to the foregoing technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, the service processing of the total topology information of the network device in the domain is controlled according to the second type of controller, which reduces the complexity of network management maintenance and service processing.

Optionally, determining, according to the received topology information, the total topology information of the network device in the control domain of the second type of controller may be in multiple manners, for example, establishing, according to the received topology information, respectively, corresponding to the first type of controller. The sub-topology table, that is, the first type controller and the sub-topology table are in one-to-one correspondence, and the total topology table of the network devices in the second type controller is controlled according to the established sub-topology table, and, for example, according to the received topology information. And respectively establishing a sub-topology table corresponding to the first type of controller and a total topology table corresponding to the second type of controller.

According to the foregoing technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, a sub-topology table corresponding to the first type of controller is established according to the received topology information, and a total topology table of the network device in the second type controller is controlled according to the sub-topology table, By establishing a hierarchical topology table, the complexity of network management maintenance and service processing is reduced.

Optionally, according to the total topology information, the service of the predetermined network may be processed in multiple manners, for example, according to the service deployed in the received user configuration request, querying the total topology table of the second type controller, and determining a The path from the source node to the target node determines, according to the determined path and the sub-topology table, the first type of controller to which one or more nodes on the path belong, according to the service deployed in the received user configuration request, to the determined one Or the first type of controller to which multiple nodes belong to deliver configuration information for service deployment.

When the service is deployed, the configuration request is sent to the second type controller. The second type controller queries its total topology table based on the deployed services to calculate an end-to-end path and each sub-topology. The table finds which first type of controller each node on the path belongs to. After obtaining the information, the deployed services are decomposed and delivered to each first type of controller. If there are higher requirements on the reliability and service quality of the business, you can calculate the road. When the path is calculated, the multiple paths that meet the requirements are calculated. On this basis, the active/standby path protection of the service or traffic sharing is implemented. The calculations here include both the calculations on the second type of controller and the calculations on the first type of controller.

According to the foregoing technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, the path corresponding to the service request is decomposed according to the service deployed in the received user configuration request, the total topology table of the second type controller, and the sub-topology table, and is delivered to the corresponding The first type of controller has a single service deployment portal, and only needs to operate on the second type of controller, which reduces the complexity of network management maintenance and service processing.

And each D controller also calculates an abstract topology based on the original topology information managed and sends it to the H controller. If the domain managed by the D controller includes multiple subnets, the sub-topology can be further divided; the H controller is responsible for processing the entire network transaction, storing and managing the abstract topology of the entire network, and according to the source of the topology information. Sub-topology division; after the network topology is collected, you can start service deployment and use the H controller as a unified portal. The H controller queries its own abstract topology data according to the deployed service, calculates an end-to-end path, and finds out which D controller each node on the path belongs to. After obtaining the information, the H-deployed service is deployed. Decomposition and delivery to each D controller, each D controller is responsible for the deployment of services within the domain, thus enabling network-wide service deployment.

The role assigned to the device can be determined according to the location of the device when the network is deployed. For example, in the networking structure shown in FIG. 2, the devices managed by the D1 and D5 controllers include the access device ACC, the intermediate device P, and the aggregation device AGG; the devices managed by the D2 and D4 controllers include the aggregation device AGG, and the intermediate device. P, the self-made system boundary device ASBR; the device managed by the D3 controller includes the intermediate device P, and the self-made system boundary device ASBR.

After the D controller adds the device, the D controller can collect the original topology information in the managed domain through the southbound interface 42 such as SNMP, NETCONFIG, BGP-LS, and the like. The original topology information here mainly refers to the connection information between nodes in the managed domain. Such as in the D1 domain, from ACC1 A path to AGG1 exists ACC1->P1->AGG1, then this path corresponds to two sides, namely ACC1->P1, P1->AGG1. Considering that the path is directional, conversely, there is a path AGG1 -> P1 -> ACC1 from AGG1 to ACC1. This path corresponds to two sides: AGG1 -> P1, P1 -> ACC1. Each edge uses four attributes of the source device name and the source destination interface IP address as key value information. Of course, each side also has some other attributes, including bandwidth, METRIC values, and so on.

In step S608, the D controller abstracts the topology according to the role set by the device, generates an abstract topology, and reports the generated abstract topology to the H controller.

When abstracting the topology, the service key nodes and boundary nodes can be reserved according to the roles set by the device, and the intermediate nodes and non-critical nodes are filtered out, mainly referring to the P nodes.

Based on the collected original topology information, the D controller is processed by the topology abstraction unit 56 to abstract the topology according to the role set by the device and the location of the device in the network. The boundary nodes in the domain and the key nodes of the service deployment are reserved. Here, the ACC, AGG, and ASBR nodes in the network are mainly referred to. Filter out intermediate nodes and non-critical nodes, mainly referring to P nodes. For example, the path ACC1->P1->AGG1 in step S606, after abstract processing, forms an abstract topology of ACC1->AGG1. The abstract topology formed by the abstraction process of its reverse path AGG1->P1->ACC1 is AGG1->ACC1. Finally, an abstract topology as shown in Fig. 7 is formed, which includes the case of each D controller.

The rules of topology abstraction can be:

An edge of an abstract topology, the source device takes the source device of the corresponding path; the destination device takes the destination device of the corresponding path; the source IP address takes the source interface IP address of the corresponding path; and the destination IP address takes the destination interface IP of the corresponding path. Address; its bandwidth is the smallest of all bandwidths on the corresponding path; its METRIC value is the sum of all METRIC values on the corresponding path.

If the topology under the D controller can be further divided, sub-topology partitioning can also be used. As shown in FIG. 2, the domain managed by the D1 controller includes two access rings, which can be further divided into two sub-topologies. After being processed by the sub-topology unit 58, the sub-topology of the sub-topology is as shown in FIG. 8. Shown. This is done by sub-topology partitioning according to the IGPs running in the D1 domain belonging to different IGP instances. For example, if you use the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol, different access rings are configured with different OSPF domains. If you use the Intermediate System to Intermediate System (ISIS) protocol, different accesses are used. The ring can be configured with different ISIS system-ids, and so on. If this is the case, it is necessary to plan in detail when performing step S402. Depending on the needs of the service, different rings may need to communicate with each other or may not require interworking. By default, it is not interoperable, and the topology needs to be isolated.

The D controller reports the generated abstract topology to the H controller, which can be implemented by the channel between the H controller and the D controller established in step S404.

When the network topology changes, such as the node uplink and downlink, interface UP/DOWN, the D controller should be able to respond to changes in time, modify its original topology information, and recalculate the abstract topology and / or sub-topology, and the latest calculation results Re-report to the H controller.

Step S6010: After receiving the topology reported by each D controller, the H controller forms an abstract topology of the entire network, and according to the source of the topology information, the topology reported by each D controller is divided into a sub-topology.

After receiving the topology reported by each D controller, the H controller forms an abstract topology of the entire network, as shown in FIG. 9. According to the source of the topology information, the topology reported by each D is divided into a sub-topology, as shown in FIG. The eight sides shown in the solid line in Figure 9 are ASBR1->ASBR3, ASBR3->ASBR1, ASBR2->ASBR4, ASBR4->ASBR2, ASBR5->ASBR7, ASBR7->ASBR5, ASBR6->ASBR8, ASBR8- >ASBR6, which belongs to the connection between the boundaries of the homebrew system. The corresponding topology information may not be collected automatically due to network deployment. At this point, the controller needs to support the function of manually entering topology information.

The H controller can have the ability to process topology addition, deletion, and update reported by the D controller. Each controller (H controller and D controller) can provide topology query capabilities.

In step S6012, the configuration request of the user is sent to the H controller, and the H controller queries its own global abstract topology data according to the deployed service, calculates an end-to-end path, and finds the path in each sub-topology. Which D controller belongs to each node, which is deployed The business is decomposed and distributed to each D controller.

During the service deployment, the H controller can query the global abstract topology data and the sub-topology according to the deployed service, and decompose the deployed services to each D controller. For example, after the H controller receives the L3VPN service configuration request from the user, the service deployment module 48 triggers the calculation module 46 to perform the calculation, and the calculation module 48 queries the H controller's own abstract topology to calculate an end-to-end path. And in the sub-topology, it is found out which D controller each device node on the path belongs to. After the D controller corresponding to the device node machine is obtained, the deployed service is decomposed and delivered to each D controller. For example, to configure L3VPN services from ACC1 to ACC4, an end-to-end path calculated on the H controller is: ACC1<->AGG1<->ASBR1<->ASBR3<->ASBR5<->ASBR7<->AGG3 <->ACC4 (<-> here refers to the bidirectional path of the forward and the direction). Then, according to each sub-topology information on the H controller, the D controllers where each node is located are queried and grouped. For this L3VPN service, the packet information is as follows: ACC1 and AGG1, AGG1 and ASBR1, ASBR1 and ASBR3, ASBR3 and ASBR5, ASBR5 and ASBR7, ASBR7 and AGG3, AGG3 and ACC4. The packets ACC1 and AGG1, AGG1 and ASBR1, ASBR3 and ASBR5, ASBR7 and AGG3, AGG3 and ACC4 respectively correspond to the domains managed by the D1, D2, D3, D4, and D5 controllers, and the packet information and service configuration information are respectively Send to each D controller. The ASBR1 and the ASBR3, the ASBR5, and the ASBR7 are connected to each other. The EBGP is configured and the SEND-LABLE capability is enabled to implement seamless MPLS service deployment. The H controller can identify this and specify the corresponding D controller to deliver the corresponding BGP configuration, which refers to the D2, D3, and D4 controllers.

In step S6014, each D controller is responsible for service deployment in the local area, and completes network-wide service deployment.

After receiving the service deployment information sent by the H controller, each D controller is responsible for service deployment in the local area. For example, the D1 controller receives the packet information and the L3VPN configuration information of the ACC1 and the AGG1. In addition to configuring the VPN information on the access device ACC1, the BGP protocol is configured between the ACC1 and the AGG1 to deliver the virtual private network (VPN Virtual Private Network). , VPN) routing information, also need to query local topology information to get a two-way road between ACC1 and AGG1 The path ACC1<->P<->AGG1, according to this information, opens the Label Switched Path (LSP) path in the domain. For example, you can configure a bidirectional TUNNEL tunnel or a Label Distribution Protocol (LDP), both of which can carry L3VPN services, depending on specific service requirements.

If the reliability of the service and the quality of service are higher, you can calculate multiple paths that meet the requirements when calculating the route. On this basis, you can implement active/standby path protection or traffic sharing. The calculations here include both the calculations on the H controller and the calculations on the D controller.

For another service deployment scenario, that is, the service deployment is performed on multiple rings of the same D controller control domain. For example, deploying services between ACC1 and ACC3. As shown in Figure 8, by default, the two rings in the D1 controller are not interworking. Therefore, if you configure services, you need to clear the routes between the two rings. After the H controller receives the service configuration information, it is found that both the ACC1 and the ACC3 are in the domain managed by the D1 controller. Therefore, only the service deployment information is sent to the D1 controller.

After receiving the configuration information sent by the H, the D1 controller calculates a path in the original topology information as ACC1<->P1<->AGG1<->P2<->ACC3. After querying the sub-topology, ACC1 and P1 belong to ring 1, and P2 and ACC3 belong to ring 2. AGG1 belongs to the boundary device of the two rings, as shown in Figure 8. In this case, in addition to configuring BGP to open the inbound loop between ACC1 and AGG1, AGG1, and ACC3, you need to open routes between different rings. You can use BGP community attributes to achieve this.

If the reliability of the service and the quality of service are higher, the D1 controller can calculate multiple paths that meet the requirements when calculating the path. On this basis, the active/standby path protection of the service or traffic sharing is implemented.

After all the D controllers complete the service deployment in the domain, the end-to-end service can be opened.

Through the above-mentioned hierarchical SDN controller management network, only a small number of SDN controllers need to be operated. After the service request is sent to the H controller, all service deployments are automatically completed by the controller, and each controller can collect Go to the required network topology information, The D controller needs to collect detailed topology information of the managed domain, and the H controller needs to collect the summary topology information of the entire network.

According to the foregoing technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, according to the responsibilities, locations, and actual networking conditions of the network device in the network, the SDN controller is used to abstract and divide the network topology, and the SDN controller is used for layering. Management and rapid deployment of services based on this can effectively reduce the complexity of carrier network management and improve the efficiency and flexibility of deploying services.
