Problems solved by technology

[0004] Although the above method can relatively reduce the number of flooding of ARP request packets in the VXLAN network, the switch still serving as the RP will still occupy network bandwidth by copying and sending ARP packets on the VXLAN network.

Abstract

The invention provides a flooding restraining method and apparatus. The flooding restraining method comprises the steps of receiving a VXLAN (Virtual Extensible Local Area Network) multicast message having a free ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) message identifier and carrying a free message; and generating public network ARP flooding restraining information based on the VXLAN multicast message, wherein a VXLAN identifier of the public network ARP flooding restraining information, an address of a source tunnel end point, an IP address of a terminal and an MAC address of the terminal correspond to a VXLAN identifier of the VXLAN multicast message, an outer layer IP address of the VXLAN multicast message, a transmitting end IP address of the free ARP message, and a transmitting end MAC address of the free ARP message respectively. Based on the method and the apparatus, an exchanger serving as a gathering point in a VXLAN generates the public network ARP flooding restraining information so as to restrain ARP message flooding in the VXLAN.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of communications, in particular to a flood suppression method and device. Background technique [0002] VXLAN (Virtual Extensible Local Area Network) is a Layer 2 VPN (Virtual Private Network, Virtual Private Network) based on IP network and adopts "MAC in UDP (User Datagram Protocol, User Datagram Protocol)" encapsulation form technology. VXLAN can provide Layer 2 interconnection for scattered physical sites based on the existing service provider or enterprise IP network, so there will be ARP (Address Resolution Protocol, Address Resolution Protocol) flooding. [0003] In the existing ARP flood suppression mode of the VXLAN network, the switch serving as a VTEP (VXLAN Tunnel End Point, VXLAN tunnel end point) receives the ARP request message of the site and establishes an ARP flood suppression table locally to identify the VXLAN it belongs to. All local interfaces in the VXLAN except the receivin...
