Network content storage system and routing method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a network content storage system with separated control and storage. The network content storage system comprises storage subunits, a storage processing unit and a storage control unit, wherein the storage subunits are mainly composed of ordinary storage media and used for storing network contents; the storage processing unit is used for carrying out relevant processing onthe network contents; and the storage control unit is separated from the storage processing unit and used for monitoring the working status of the storage processing unit and the storage statuses of the storage subunits, and configuring and managing the storage behavior of the storage processing unit according to user requirements and the property of the storage media. According to the invention,a control and storage separated concept is adopted, and the storage control unit is used for monitoring and managing the storage behavior of the storage processing unit, so that the network contents can be intelligently stored into the corresponding storage subunits in a balanced manner. The storage control unit can dynamically collect the statuses of the storage processing unit and the storage subunits. According to the status information, a user can freely compile storage algorithm software of the storage control unit to improve the flexibility and intelligence of storage devices.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of network content storage, in particular to a network content storage system and a routing method thereof. Background technique [0002] There is a large amount of data redundancy in the existing Internet, and an efficient cache mechanism is urgently needed to reduce network redundancy. The Smart Collaborative Network (SINET) adopts the design concept of "separation of resources and locations", and supports caching of data packets or data block granularity from the original design, significantly reducing network redundancy, improving link utilization and user experience. SINET no longer adopts IP address addressing, but replaces it with a uniquely determined new addressing space: SID (Service ID, service identification). Each network content has a unique SID. At the same time, SINET introduces the concept of cache, and adds the cache function to the basic network equipment of SINET, that is, the network co...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, because the routing algorithm is over-bound with the forwarding function, its flexibility and scalability are flawed

As storage requirements continue to increase, this traditional technology will not be able to efficiently handle large-scale data storage

For a large-scale storage system composed of a large number of content storage devices, traditional storage devices are bound to one piece of hardware because the control plane responsible for routing calculations and the forwarding responsible for routing and forwarding are bound to one piece of hardware. Realize intelligent collaborative storage of large-scale network systems
