Embodiment Construction

[0035] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0036] The present invention provides a service chain high-availability method applied to an SDN network. Its working principle is to create a service function path, construct a service function forwarder graph, and calculate an OpenFlow flow label set to solve the problem of cross-switch traffic traction, and in Traffic distribution is performed between service functions (SF) on different switches to solve problems such as single point of failure and load balancing at the two levels of switches and service functions, realize high availability of service chains, and improve network communication efficiency.

[0037] The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with examples and specific implementation methods.

Abstract

The invention discloses a service chain high-availability method applied to an SDN (software defined network). The service chain high-availability method comprises the following steps of respectivelyconstructing a network service function link for the uplink direction and the downlink direction of each SDN switch in the SDN; constructing a service function path for each network service function link; constructing a determined service function path for each service function path; respectively constructing a service function forwarder graph for all the determined service function paths; according to each service function forwarder graph, respectively calculating an OpenFlow flow table set; creating a service functional path, constructing a service function forwarder graph, and calculating the OpenFlow flow mark set, so that the cross-switch flow traction problem is solved, the flow distribution is carried out among service functions (SF) on the different switches, the problems of single-point faults, load balancing and the like are solved on the two levels of the switches and the service functions, the high availability of a service chain is achieved, and the network communication efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of network communication, in particular to a method for high availability of a service chain applied to an SDN network. Background technique [0002] The delivery of end-to-end services usually requires a variety of service functions including traditional web service functions (SF) (eg, firewalls and server load balancers, etc.), as well as application-specific functions, such as HTTP application firewalls, etc. [0003] The current deployment model of service functions is usually tightly coupled to network topology and physical resources, resulting in relatively rigid and static deployments, limiting network operators from introducing new or modifying existing service functions. There is also a cascading effect: modifying one or more services in a service chain tends to affect other services in the chain. This problem is particularly acute in network environments that require relatively rapid deployment, d...
