Method and system of virtualizing network cards on network processing platform

Abstract

The present invention provides a system and method for virtualizing network cards on a network processing platform. The system comprises: a network card monitoring module, used for collecting basic information of physical network cards on a network processing platform, and monitoring states of the physical network cards; a user configuration interface, used for receiving customized logical network card configuration information, and sending the received logical network card configuration information to a function configuration module; the function configuration module, used for implementing a working mode required by the logical network card configuration information and notifying the working mode to a management and scheduling module and a data sending and receiving module; the management and scheduling module, used for parsing a notification received from the function configuration module, and scheduling hardware resources of a plurality of physical network cards on the network processing platform to perform virtualization configuration on the scheduled physical network cards; and the data sending and receiving module, used for establishing, according to the working mode of logical network cards and the virtualization configuration, a correspondence between the logical network cards and the physical network cards in a data sending and receiving process by means of a mapping table, and used for sending or receiving data.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a computer system and a virtualization technology, in particular to a method and a system for an online card of a virtualized network processing platform. Background technique [0002] In the context of the rapid development of emerging concepts such as triple play, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things, and with the continuous pull of market demand, various high-speed, low-latency network data applications continue to grow. These high-speed network data applications put forward higher requirements on the performance of network data processing, and also bring greater challenges to the system resource management of the host. [0003] In recent years, with the maturity of virtualization technology and the emergence of a large number of successful cases, more and more enterprises have begun to pay attention to virtualization technology, and many manufacturers have also launched their own I / O virtualization technology and vir...
