Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a device for controlling multicast transmission in an Overlay network. The method is applied to an SDB controller and comprises the steps of: obtaining multicast source information from a gateway; obtain multicast member information from a switch, wherein the multicast member information includes first interface information of the switch; obtaining tunnel entrance information of a tunnel established by the gateway and the switch; according to the multicast source information, the multicast member information, the tunnel entrance information and a recorded topological relation of the gateway and the switch, maintaining a multicast forwarding table; and sending the multicast forwarding table to the gateway and the switch so as to enable the gateway and the switch to control the transmission of multicast messages according to the multicast forwarding table. According to the invention, when an edge network is the Overlay network, the multicast control logic of VEPT network equipment is simplified, and the burden of a CPU is relieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to VXLAN technology, and in particular to a method and device for controlling multicast transmission in an Overlay network. Background technique [0002] VXLAN (VirtualeXtensibleLocalAreaNetwork, Virtual Extended Local Area Network) is a technology that encapsulates Layer 2 packets with Layer 3 protocols, and can extend Layer 2 networks within the scope of Layer 3 networks. VXLAN realizes the isolation of the virtual network and the physical network by setting the intelligent entity VTEP (VXLAN Tunnel End Point, VXLAN Tunnel End Point) at the edge of the physical network. In the edge network, VXLAN-enabled Layer 3 gateways and Layer 2 switches are usually used as VTEP devices to transmit multicast packets sent by the multicast source to each multicast member in the VXLAN network. [0003] Since the IGMP protocol is running between the multicast members receiving the multicast and the gateway, according to the IGMP proto...
