Processor and message processing method

Abstract

Embodiments of the present application provide a processor and a message processing method. The processor includes: a first buffer area corresponding to a preset protocol message type, a second buffer area corresponding to a non-preset protocol message type, a processor core and a coprocessor. The coprocessor receives the message, determines the message type of the message according to the characteristic information carried by the message, determines the target buffer area corresponding to the message type from the first buffer area and the second buffer area, and compares the message based on the target buffer area. The message is cached, and the message is submitted to the processor core based on the target buffer area, and the message is processed by the processor core. The message type includes: a preset protocol message type and a non-preset protocol message type. Applying the solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application can reduce the possibility of stack splitting occurring in stacking devices.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of communications, in particular to a processor and a message processing method. Background technique [0002] With the development of network technology, new forms of network applications such as big data and cloud computing are becoming more and more widely used, which causes a sharp increase in data traffic in the network. In this case, the virtualization technology based on Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) can better guarantee the reliability of network operation. In the IRF-based dual-system hot standby system, two member devices are virtualized as a stack device. The stacking device can receive the packets sent by the forwarding device and process the packets. Member devices can back up each other. When a member device fails, the stack device can seamlessly switch services to another member device according to the backup information, so as to protect the stable operation of the system...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

When the buffer is full, subsequent received packets will be discarded because they cannot be stored

When the preset protocol packets are discarded, the stacking device will be split, which will lead to the failure of the dual-system hot backup function, which may cause major network problems
