Embodiment Construction

[0033] Such as figure 1 , is a network architecture diagram of a controller controlling firmware update according to an embodiment of the present invention. The network architecture includes a controller 1 and multiple network clusters (including at least a first network cluster A and a second network cluster B). The first network cluster A and the second network cluster B are respectively connected to the controller I in a wired or wireless manner, and perform corresponding operations according to the control instructions of the controller I, such as network devices in these network clusters Implement the upgrade operation.

[0034] In an embodiment, each network cluster is provided with a sub-controller, wherein the first network cluster A is provided with a sub-controller II, and the second network cluster B is provided with a sub-controller III. The sub-controllers II and III are connected to the controller I, receive control instructions from the controller I and perfor...

Abstract

The invention discloses an updating method applied to a controller. The controller is connected with network clusters. The network clusters comprise a first network cluster and a second network cluster. The first network cluster comprises a plurality of first network devices. The second network cluster comprises a plurality of second network devices. A plurality of pieces of first traffic usage information corresponding to the plurality of first network devices and a plurality of pieces of second traffic usage information corresponding to the plurality of second network devices are collected.Total traffic of corresponding network clusters and traffic usage difference values among the network devices in the network clusters are calculated according to the plurality of pieces of first traffic usage information and the plurality of pieces of second traffic usage information, and preferential updating values of the corresponding network clusters are calculated. The network devices in thenetwork clusters with the relatively bigger preferential updating values are preferentially updated according to the preferential updating value. The invention also provides the controller. Accordingto the method and the controller, through batch-by-batch updating, the influence of crash resulting from updating failure is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of communication. Background technique [0002] In a network architecture, sometimes a firmware upgrade may cause some network devices in the network architecture to go down, thereby causing the entire network architecture to fail to operate normally. It often takes a lot of time and cost to repair these network devices. Contents of the invention [0003] In view of this, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for updating firmware, which reduces the impact of downtime due to update failures by updating in batches. [0004] In view of this, the embodiment of the present invention also provides a controller, which can reduce the impact caused by downtime due to update failure by updating in batches. [0005] A firmware update method provided by an embodiment of the present invention is applied to a controller. The controller is connected to the network cluster. The network clusters inc...
