Abstract

The invention discloses a control plane load balancing method and system in a software-defined network that are aimed at dynamically regulating and controlling a connection relation between a control plane and a data plane via monitoring of a request flow sent to the control plane from the data plane in the software-defined network, and therefore all controller loads of the control plane in the software-defined network can be balanced. The method comprises the following steps: in a first step, monitoring flow tables that are needed are distributed to all software-defined exchange devices via application program interfaces provided by controllers, all the software-defined exchange devices are monitored in real time according to monitoring parameters given by a cloud platform service provider, and the exchange devices are used for uploading collected data onto the control plane via an OpenFlow protocol; in a second step, the collected monitoring data is subjected to processing and analyzing operation, the connection relation between the controllers of the control plane and the exchange devices of the data plane is determined, the flow tables are distributed to all the exchange devices via the OpenFlow protocol, all controller loads can be controlled and balanced, and therefore control plane delay can be reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical fields of software-defined network and data center, and more specifically, relates to a load balancing method and system for a control plane in a software-defined network. Background technique [0002] With the increasing demand for dynamic management, dynamic configuration, and dynamic expansion of data center networks, traditional networks cannot meet their needs. In this environment, software-defined networking came into being. Software-defined networking is a new type of network architecture that can provide data center operators with convenient management. It aims to separate the control logic of the network switching device from the data forwarding logic. By providing a unified management interface, the upper layer control layer can control the underlying data plane through a simple abstract call, so that the network manager can be more programmatic. Initiate, control and change the data center network in ...
