Problems solved by technology

However, due to the limitation of TCAM resources, the number of flow entries it supports is limited
At the same time, directly using the method to accelerate the hardware of multiple flow tables requires adding multiple lookup tables and execution engines, which is relatively expensive

Embodiment Construction

[0051] The embodiment of the present invention provides a data message forwarding method and device, which are used to improve the matching efficiency of the data message when performing flow table matching.

[0052] see figure 1 , an embodiment of the data packet forwarding method in the embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0053] 101. Obtain the attribute identifier of the data message;

[0054] The switch obtains the attribute identifier of the data message; the attribute identifier may specifically include: source MAC address, destination MAC address, Ethernet type, source IP address, destination IP address, and the like.

[0055] 102. Search for a first flow entry in the first flow table according to the attribute identifier;

[0056] The switch searches for the first flow entry in the first flow table according to the attribute identifier, and the first flow entry includes: an action set, and the action set is that each attribute identifier of a data packet ...

Abstract

Disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention are a data packet forwarding method and device for improving the matching efficiency when matching a data packet with a flow table. The method comprises: acquiring the attribute identifier of a data packet; searching a first flow table for a first flow table entry according to the attribute identifier, the first flow table entry comprising an action set, and the action set being specified operations corresponding to respective attribute identifiers of one data packet in a multi-level flow table; and if the first flow table entry is successfully found, then forwarding the data packet according to the action set corresponding to the first flow table entry matching the attribute identifier.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a data message forwarding method and device. Background technique [0002] OpenFlow and Software Defined Networking (SDN, Software Defined Network) allow a network to be programmed as if it were a computer. It provides the abstraction layer of the physical network directly to the control element, allowing the network to be set up and operated through software. This will open the door for further innovation. [0003] The OpenFlow technology was first proposed by Stanford University, aiming to solve the current problems of the current network in the face of new services based on the technical conditions of the existing Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP / IP, Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol) with innovative network interconnection concepts. Various bottlenecks have been rated as one of the top ten future technologies by the prestigious "MIT Technology Rev...
