Embodiment 1
[0097] refer to figure 1 Shown is a schematic diagram of the principle of the embodiment of the present invention. Software-defined network (English: SoftwareDefinedNetwork, abbreviation: SDN) controller 1 uses tunnel technology to connect value-added service equipment 2 and value-added service equipment 3 in series to form a service chain, and both ends of the service chain are connected to the same drainage point 4, wherein, Neither the value-added service device 2 nor the value-added service device 3 is a NAT device. figure 1 In , the solid line indicates the normal forwarding of the data packet without passing through the service chain, the dotted line indicates the forwarding of the data packet through the tunnel, and the diversion point 4 can be regarded as a switch or gateway device supporting the service chain function. The uplink data packet sent by user 5 first enters the diversion point 4 through the normal forwarding process, and is sent by the diversion point 4 t...
Embodiment 2
[0138] The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for associating data packets on the service chain that supports NAT equipment serial connection, refer to Figure 4 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the principle of the embodiment of the present invention. The SDN controller 1 uses the tunnel technology to connect the value-added service device 2 and the value-added service device 3 in series to form a service chain, and the two ends of the service chain are connected to the same diversion point 4, wherein , the value-added service device 2 is a NAT device. Figure 4 In , the solid line indicates the normal forwarding of the data packet without passing through the service chain, the dotted line indicates the forwarding of the data packet through the tunnel, and the diversion point 4 can be regarded as a switch or gateway device supporting the service chain function. The uplink data packet sent by user 5 first enters the diversion point 4 through the normal...
Embodiment 3
[0167] An embodiment of the present invention provides a device for associating data packets on a service chain. Each value-added service device is connected in series through a tunnel to form a service chain. Both ends of the service chain are connected to the same drainage point. The device is located at the drainage point for Realize above-mentioned each method embodiment, the structure diagram of this device is as follows Figure 6 shown, including:
[0168] The first receiving unit 601 is configured to receive a first uplink data packet belonging to a first service flow sent by a first device; the first service flow is a service flow that needs to be processed by a service chain.
[0169] The storage unit 602 is configured to store the first service flow identifier carried in the first uplink data packet; the first service flow identifier is used to identify the first service flow.
[0170] The first adding unit 603 is configured to add an address chain of the service ch...
