AC capable of concurrent processing AP information and processing method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses an AC capable of concurrent processing AP (Access Point) information and a processing method thereof, and belongs to the wireless communication technology. The AC capable of concurrent processing AP information comprises a multithread creating module, a dispatching module and a multithread processing module, wherein the multithread creating module creates a multithread processing queue as per the maximum processed thread of the multithread processing module; the dispatching module allots received AP information to the multithread processing queue corresponding to the multithread processing module; the multithread processing module operates a plurality of processing threads respectively used for processing multiple AP information. The technical scheme of the invention has the benefits that through the adoption of the AC capable of concurrent processing the AP information, provided by the invention, the application programs (such as a CAPWAP) at the upper layer of the AC can more fully utilize multinuclear CPU resources on the AC, the capability of concurrent processing the AP information of the AC is improved, and processor resources when the AC processes the AP information can be fully used.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a wireless communication technology, in particular to an AC for concurrently processing AP messages and a processing method thereof. Background technique [0002] When a large number of APs (Access Points, wireless access nodes) are connected to an AC (Wireless Access Point Controller, wireless controller), there is a high requirement on the ability of the AC to process AP messages concurrently. In the prior art, under the single-threaded model, the AC can only process messages from one AP at a certain moment, which will greatly reduce the ability of the AC to concurrently process messages from the APs and affect network performance. [0003] In the above cases, when the AC processes the messages sent by the AP (such as CAPWAP messages, Control And Provisioning of Wireless Access Points Protocol Specification), the thread is often running on a certain core, because the CPU is implemented through time slice rotation Scheduling ...

Problems solved by technology

For ACs using multi-core processors, the above-mentioned prior art does not fully utilize its multi-core resources, resulting in waste of resources and low AC processing efficiency
