Abstract

The present invention discloses a load balancing method and device, wherein the method includes: collecting data of characteristic parameters of multiple switches managed and controlled by each SDN controller of the cluster software defined network SDN controller; according to the multiple For the data of the characteristic parameters of the switch, estimate the data of the characteristic parameters of the plurality of switches at the next moment; according to the estimated data of the characteristic parameters of the plurality of switches at the next moment, the cluster SDN Each SDN controller of the controller performs load balancing. The present invention solves the problem of uneven load of cluster SDN controllers in related technologies, and performs load balancing through estimated data. This method is highly achievable and improves resource utilization efficiency of cluster SDN controllers.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, in particular, to a load balancing method and device. Background technique [0002] Software Defined Networks (SDN for short) technology was originally a new network innovation architecture proposed by the clean slate research group of Stanford University in the United States. Its core technology, Openflow (OF) protocol, realizes flexible control of network traffic by separating the control plane of network equipment from the data plane, and provides a good platform for core network and application innovation. [0003] The SDN network consists of three parts: including SDN controller, secure channel and SDN switch. The SDN controller is a network control software designed according to the OpenFlow protocol. It is used to manage data flow, configure network devices, formulate flow tables (FlowTable), and undertake communication between network services and network devices. There can be multiple...
