Method, device, computer equipment and storage medium for setting virtual network element

Abstract

The present application discloses a method for setting a virtual network element, which specifically includes: obtaining traffic distribution information of a target gateway, wherein the target gateway includes a plurality of virtual network elements, and the target gateway also includes a plurality of distribution devices, each The distribution device is configured with at least one corresponding virtual network element, and the traffic distribution information includes the traffic information of the ingress port of each virtual network element in the multiple virtual network elements; according to the traffic distribution information, from the multiple virtual network elements Determining at least one target virtual network element among the network elements; setting the at least one target virtual network element to an enabled state; setting virtual network elements other than the at least one target virtual network element among the plurality of virtual network elements to sleep state. On the basis of power saving, the present application better maintains the performance of the equipment, which is beneficial to the healthy operation of the system.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a method, device, computer equipment and storage medium for setting virtual network elements. Background technique [0002] In recent years, due to the rapid development of network virtualization technology, many network element devices have changed from traditional specific hardware to software forms on general hardware, such as Network Function Virtualization (Network Function Virtualization, NFV), specifically referring to network function Virtualization technology realizes the functions of traditional communication networks through IT virtualization. A virtual network element (virtual network function, VNF) is a network element virtualized through virtualization technology to realize a certain network function unit. VNF specifically refers to a virtual network function that provides certain network services. It is software that uses the infrastructure pr...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, when transmitting data streams in the network communication process, a large number of specialized hardware is required to support network function (network function, NF) entities to carry VNFs to complete data processing and forwarding, which not only increases the load of NF entities, but also affects network processing resources. The cost is too large, and the transmission delay is increased, which reduces the throughput of the network
