Abstract

The invention relates to a method for acquiring a network equipment forwarding state in a software defined network. The method comprises the following steps: step (1), configuring a probe packet which carries an appointed a VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) label; step (2), distinguishing a normal data packet and the probe packet through a first flow table in a plurality of flow tables; and step (3), adding an extra instruction for a flow table entry of a flow table except the first flow table in the plurality of flow tables. The invention provides the method for acquiring the network equipment forwarding state in the software defined network, the true forwarding state of network equipment can be acquired simply and effectively by acquiring and carrying the identification of each flow table entry in the network equipment, meanwhile, almost no extra bandwidth is needed to bear the probe packet that carries information.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of software-defined networks, in particular to a method for obtaining the forwarding status of network equipment in a software-defined network. Background technique [0002] The forwarding state of a network device refers to how the network device processes network packets, including forwarding and routing, adding, deleting, and modifying certain fields in the packet header; the specific processing method is through a series of Rules are implemented, such as Layer 2 forwarding rules (FIB), IP forwarding rules (including modifying ports, check values, TTL, etc.), VLAN tag operations, ACLs rules, and so on. Therefore, to obtain the forwarding status of a network device is to obtain all the "real" rules on the network device. The "real" emphasized here is that the network device may fail to execute the nominal rules due to software and hardware failures or firmware failures. For example, a rule that modifies the de...
