Embodiment Construction

[0149] Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for determining a path fault, a controller, a switch, and a system. The controller instructs the switch to report its fault after receiving a fault tracking message by presetting flow entries for each switch included in the path to be detected. The path label of the path, the controller will compare the received switch information corresponding to the path label with the predetermined switch information contained in the path to be detected corresponding to the path label, and determine whether the path to be detected is based on the comparison result. If a fault occurs, the controller only needs to send a fault tracking message to complete the detection of at least one path, which improves the efficiency of path detection; and the switch only needs to complete message forwarding and information transmission under the control of the controller during the entire process. The functions of the data layer such as reporting...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method of determining a path fault, a controller, switches and a system. Through presetting a flow entry on each switch on a to-be-detected path, the controller indicates the switch to report the label of the path where the switch is after a fault trace message is received; the controller compares the information of the switch corresponding to the received path label with predetermined information of each switch in the to-be-detected path corresponding to the path label, whether a fault appears in the to-be-detected path is determined according to a comparison result; and the controller only needs to issue one fault tracking message to an initial switch in the to-be-detected path, detection on at least one path can be completed, and the path detection efficiency can be improved. During the whole process, the switch completes data layer functions such as message forwarding and information reporting only under control of the controller, which is in line with features of separation between a control panel and a forwarding plane in a SDN (Software Defined Network).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a method for determining path failure, a controller, a switch and a system. Background technique [0002] Software Defined Network (English: Software Defined Network, referred to as: SDN) has set off a revolution in the network field. With the concept of separation of control and forwarding, it shrinks the control layer to the controller, which is convenient for global monitoring and management of data center network equipment. With the continuous research, discussion and maturity of various key technologies of SDN, SDN is gradually being used by operators / cloud service providers as the preferred solution for managing data center networks. [0003] The OpenFlow protocol is a network communication protocol for the controller in the SDN to control the devices on the forwarding plane, which realizes the separation of the data layer and the control layer. The OpenFlow network...
