Virtual network resource allocation method

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of computer networks, and provides a virtual network resource allocation method. The method comprises the steps of: building a resource allocation model; submitting competitive demands to an InP (Internal Network Processor) through SPs (Service Providers); calculating the quantity and consumption of the resource through the InP; acquiring the resource, assuming the consumption and calculating the income through each SP; adjusting the competitive strategies through each SP; and waiting for competing at the next time based on the adjusted competitive strategies. In the scheme of the invention, a novel virtual network resource allocation method is provided; the resource is periodically allocated to a plurality of service providers based on the trend of the demands on the virtual network resource, so that the resource allocation can be carried out as demands, and the performance of the whole network can be improved. Moreover, a scheme for effectively selecting the competitive strategies is provided at the same time; by using the scheme, the service providers can be guided to select the competitive strategies; the real network demands can be quickly obtained; the network performance can be improved; and the complexity of the algorithm can be effectively reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computer networks, in particular to a virtual network resource allocation method. Background technique [0002] In a network virtualization environment, traditional network service providers are divided into two parts: Infrastructure Providers (InP) and Service Providers (SP). InP is responsible for deploying and managing the underlying network, that is, underlying physical resources; SP builds its own virtual network by renting resources from InP to provide services for end users (EU). In order to fully utilize the resources of the physical network and provide convenient and quality-guaranteed services for the users of the virtual network, the resource allocation of the virtual network has become an inevitable and important issue. [0003] In the prior art, virtual network resource allocation methods are mainly divided into two types, static allocation and dynamic allocation: after static allocation all...
