Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, software-defined networking is not out of the question
Some challenges relate to configuring the network element such that the different functional entities of the network element such as line interface modules are always able to perform the required tasks and so that the resources of the network element are utilized in a sufficiently optimized manner

Embodiment Construction

[0031] Figure 1a A schematic diagram of an exemplary software-defined network "SDN" 100 is shown. The software defined network includes network elements 101 , 102 , 103 and 104 and a controller 105 . The network elements 101-104 of the exemplary software-defined network are interconnected to each other by data transmission links, such as Figure 1a shown. Additionally, an exemplary software-defined network "SDN" 100 may include Figure 1a Other network elements not shown. Each of the network elements may be, for example, an Internet Protocol "IP" router, a Multiprotocol Label Switching "MPLS" node, a packet optical switch, and / or an Ethernet switch. Each network element can consist of a single device or a combination of multiple devices. Also, the controller 105 may consist of a single device or a combination of a plurality of devices. exist Figure 1a In the exemplary case shown, the controller 105 includes two interconnected devices. End devices 107 are connected to the...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a device for optimizing a configuration system of network elements of a software-defined network. The entity-specific configuration system is based on a network element-specific configuration system which relates to the entire network element and comprises configuration entries for determining operations to be performed by the network element. The method comprises forming (401) relationship data indicating for each of the functional entities at least one of those configuration entries not related to the functional entity under consideration such that the functional entity operates independently of these configuration entries. The relational data enables the entity-specific configuration system to be structured (402) such that the entity-specific configuration system for each functional entity is free of those configuration entries that are not relevant to the functional entity under consideration according to the relational data. Thus, resources for implementing an entity-specific configuration system can be saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to software defined networking "SDN". More specifically, the present invention relates to a method, a device and a computer program for optimizing an entity-specific configuration system of functional entities of a network element of a software-defined network. A functional entity may be, for example, a line interface module. Furthermore, the invention relates to a controller of a software defined network as well as a network element of a software defined network. Background technique [0002] Software-defined networking is an emerging architecture for data transport networking. In software-defined networking "SDN," the control plane is separated from the data plane such that the control plane is implemented in one or more controllers that may be separate from the network elements, and the data plane is implemented in the network elements. The network elements may be, for example, Internet Protocol "IP" router...
