Method and system for designing large two-layer network architecture based on containers

Abstract

The invention provides a method and a system for designing a large two-layer network architecture based on containers, and relates to the technical field of virtual communication switching. The methodcomprises the steps of: connecting OVS (Open vSwitch) network bridges with different physical network cards, establishing a physical connection of a network between containers through the physical network cards on different host computers; acquiring task information through self-managed service based on the physical connection, and establishing a network connection between the containers and theOVS network bridges or establishing a new container according to the task information. Through adoption of the above technical scheme, the method of the invention can improve deployment efficiency ofa network, and is beneficial to management and maintenance of equipment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of virtual communication switching, in particular to a design method and system of a container-based large two-layer network architecture. Background technique [0002] The use of the Internet architecture has a long history. With the rapid expansion of the network scale and the continuous enrichment of business types, the structure and functions of the Internet are becoming increasingly complex. The main disadvantage is that a large number of physical devices are required, and the difficulty of network management and control is increasing day by day. It is difficult to quickly deploy new network functions, and the scalability is easily limited by physical equipment. It cannot be managed by automated tools, which is not conducive to later maintenance. When combined with virtualization technologies such as docker (application container engine), traditional networks cannot meet the increasingly flexible and ch...

[0002] The use of Internet architecture has a long history. With the rapid expansion of the network scale and the continuous enrichment of business types, the structure and functions of the Internet are becoming increasingly complex. The main disadvantage is that it requires a large number of physical devices and the difficulty of network management and control is increasing. It is difficult to quickly deploy new network functions, and the scalability is easily limited by physical equipment. It cannot be managed by automated tools, which is not conducive to later maintenance.

When combined with virtualization technologies such as docker (application container engine), traditional networks cannot meet the increasingly flexible and changeable requirements of enterprise-level networks, and cannot make full use of the performance of physical devices, nor can they make full use of the benefits provided by virtualization technologies.
