Problems solved by technology

[0003] The current business chain resource scheduling algorithms include Round Robin (polling), Least Load (minimum load) and Random (random), which are generally relatively simple and do not fully use resources. The foldback problem causes a waste of link bandwidth resources between servers

Abstract

The invention discloses a service chain resource scheduling method and apparatus. The method includes: obtaining service chain demand information of a user, wherein the service chain demand information comprises demand function network elements and a passing sequence of the demand function network elements; determining all feasible paths according to the passing sequence of the demand function network elements; obtaining the path lengths of all the feasible paths and the number of path reception users; and selecting a service chain path of the user from all the feasible paths according to the path lengths of all the feasible paths and the number of the path reception users. According to the method and apparatus, multi-resource optimization is considered, optimization usage of three resources referring to a virtual machine CPU, a virtual machine memory and a link bandwidth between servers is performed, load balance is performed from the perspective of the whole path, and a better service chain path selection is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of data communication, in particular to a service chain resource scheduling method and device. Background technique [0002] The service chain is a hot application scenario of NFV (Network Function Virtualization, network function virtualization) technology. At present, the business chain networking mode is relatively flexible - there are serial, star and hybrid. Due to the strong correlation between service chain deployment and topology, different networking methods will lead to different service chain deployment methods. Service chain resource scheduling involves many factors: whether the functional network element is preset in advance or the configuration is temporarily triggered by the customer; when multiple devices run the same functional network element, which device should be selected to serve the user, etc. [0003] The current business chain resource scheduling algorithms include Round Robin (polling), Lea...
