Abstract

An embodiment of the invention provides an address resolution protocol (ARP) message forwarding method, an exchanger and a controller. The ARP message forwarding method includes: a first exchanger receives ARP messages; the first exchanger sends the ARP messages to the controller in the network to lead the controllers to construct response messages containing forwarding port messages according to the ARP messages; the first exchanger receives the response messages sent by the controller; and the first exchanger forwards the response messages to a corresponding port according to the forwarding port messages. The controller provides ARP service for a main machine of the network managed by the controller, and therefore network efficiency can be improved and network bandwidth can be saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiment of the present invention relates to the technical field of communication, and in particular to an address resolution protocol (ARP) message forwarding method, a switch and a controller. Background technique [0002] At present, with the development and growth of Internet technology, the scale of the Internet is becoming larger and larger, the applications carried by it are complex, and the Internet has become fragile and dull, and the problem of Internet controllability has followed. [0003] Address Resolution Protocol (Address Resolution Protocol, hereinafter abbreviated as ARP) is a Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol, hereinafter abbreviated as TCP / IP) for obtaining a physical address. The source node acquires the Media Access Control (Media Access Control, hereinafter abbreviated as MAC) address of the destination node by broadcasting an ARP request, so as to send data pac...
