Embodiment 1
[0039] Figure 3A It shows a schematic diagram of guiding message forwarding according to session backup according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0040] Such as Figure 3A As shown, the network device 11 selects a corresponding firewall from the firewall cluster according to the source address X and the destination address Y of the request message to process the request message. Specifically, for example, a hash (HASH) calculation may be performed according to the source address X and the destination address Y, so as to realize correct distribution of the request message.
[0041] Assuming that the request packet is distributed to firewall 1 in the firewall cluster, firewall 1 creates a session according to the request packet, that is, firewall 1 serves as the session creation location. Firewall 1 calculates the backup location of the current session, such as firewall 3, according to the source address X and destination address Y of the request message. At the...
Embodiment approach 1
[0056] The query entry may contain information about the session creation location, and the firewall 4 can learn that the firewall 1 is the location of the corresponding session creation according to the query entry matching the response message, and hand over the response message to the firewall 1 for processing. Specifically, for example, firewall 4 transmits the response message through a physical link directly established with firewall 1; or, for example, firewall 4 transmits the response message to firewall 1 through sequential forwarding of firewall 3 and firewall 2.
[0057] Therefore, based on the creation of the session-oriented location, the firewall 1 can correctly forward the request message and the response message, and back up the corresponding session data to the firewall 3 (session backup location). Moreover, since the session-oriented location is only used to store query table items, it will not occupy too much memory space, which helps to improve the overall p...
Embodiment approach 2
[0059] The lookup entry may include session backup location information, and the firewall 4 can learn that the firewall 3 is the session backup location according to the lookup entry matching the response message. Therefore, the firewall 4 can obtain the backup data of the current session from the firewall 3, and the firewall 4 can guide the correct forwarding of the response message according to the session backup data.
[0060] At the same time, because the query table entry contains the information of the session backup location, even if the firewall 1 as the session creation location is unavailable (DOWN) due to failure or other reasons, any other firewall can also use the source address X and destination of the request message The address Y directly determines the session backup location, or determines the session guidance location according to the source address Y and the destination address Z of the response message, and then determines the session backup location, so as...
