Abstract

The invention discloses a flow table matching method, device and OpenFlow switching system, so as to realize the matching of any field in any data flow without changing the existing hardware logic and standard protocol. The method includes: receiving a jump instruction and a matching instruction issued by the controller for the first flow table; establishing a first flow entry in the first flow table; receiving a jump instruction issued by the controller for the second flow table A flow mode message; establishing a second flow entry in the second flow table. The present invention lays the foundation for the realization of a truly flexible programmable software-defined network, which can assist network service operators to reduce capital expenditures and operational expenditures, and enable traditional IP networks to have more flexible real-time service-oriented network abstraction and management capabilities .

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of data exchange, in particular to a flow table matching method, device and OpenFlow exchange system. Background technique [0002] OpenFlow technology allows a network to be programmed as if the network were a computer. OpenFlow and software-defined network (Software Defined Network, referred to as SDN) can directly provide the abstraction layer of the physical network to the control element, allowing the network to be set and operated through software. The packet forwarding process is transformed into an independent process completed by the OpenFlow switch (OpenFlowSwitch) and the control server (Controller). [0003] The OpenFlow switch consists of three parts: the flow table (Flow Table), the security channel and the OpenFlow protocol. The flow table is composed of the match field (Match Field), the counter (Counters) and the instruction set (Instructions), which are used to store the forwarding of data packets. ...
