Embodiment Construction

[0035] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0036] The present invention provides a service chain high-availability method applied to an SDN network. Its working principle is to create a service function path, construct a service function forwarder graph, and calculate an OpenFlow flow label set to solve the problem of cross-switch traffic traction, and in Traffic distribution is performed between service functions (SF) on different switches to solve problems such as single point of failure and load balancing at the two levels of switches and service functions, realize high availability of service chains, and improve network communication efficiency.

[0037] The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with examples and specific implementation methods.

Abstract

The invention discloses a service chain high availability method applied to an SDN network. Construct a service function path for each service function path; construct a determined service function path for each service function path; construct a service function forwarder graph for all determined service function paths; calculate the OpenFlow flow table separately according to each service function forwarder graph Collection, by creating a service function path, constructing a service function forwarder graph, calculating the OpenFlow flow label set, solving the problem of cross-switch traffic traction, and distributing traffic between service functions (SF) on different switches, achieving The two levels of service functions solve problems such as single point of failure and load balancing, realize high availability of service chains, and improve network communication efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of network communication, in particular to a method for high availability of a service chain applied to an SDN network. Background technique [0002] The delivery of end-to-end services usually requires a variety of service functions including traditional web service functions (SF) (eg, firewalls and server load balancers, etc.), as well as application-specific functions, such as HTTP application firewalls, etc. [0003] The current deployment model of service functions is usually tightly coupled to network topology and physical resources, resulting in relatively rigid and static deployments, limiting network operators from introducing new or modifying existing service functions. There is also a cascading effect: modifying one or more services in a service chain tends to affect other services in the chain. This problem is particularly acute in network environments that require relatively rapid deployment, d...
