Network task distribution equipment, system and method

Abstract

The invention discloses network task distribution equipment which is suitable for distributing a network task to one or more pieces of network processing equipment. The network task distribution equipment comprises a communication unit, a network task storage, a state storage and a task distributor, wherein the communication unit is used for communicating with the network processing equipment to transmit a network task to the network processing equipment for executing, and for receiving an execution result of the network task from the network processing equipment and the load and / or bandwidth state information of the network processing equipment; the network task storage is used for storing a list of network tasks to be executed; the state storage is used for storing the information of the network task executed on each piece of network processing equipment and the current load and / or bandwidth state of each piece of network processing equipment; and the task distributor is configured to distribute a network task to be executed to the network processing equipment for executing based on the current load and / or bandwidth state of the network processing equipment so as to ensure that each network task is executed at an appropriate network bandwidth.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the network field, in particular to a network task allocation device, system and method for allocating network tasks, especially network scanning tasks. Background technique [0002] With the development of the network, network security is becoming more and more important, and network scanners that scan existing network devices such as network servers are gradually being used by network security personnel. For example, hackers often use network scanners as a "reconnaissance" tool to scan the target server to find vulnerabilities in the target server, while network security personnel use network scanners as a check and monitoring tool to detect network devices for timely detection and Fix bugs. [0003] When the network scanner is scanning, it needs to initiate a connection to the target network server, transmit the scanning data packet and receive the scanning result. If the network scanner is to scan multiple target network ...
