Traffic guidance method and traffic identification equipment

Abstract

The invention discloses a traffic guidance method and traffic identification equipment, and the method comprises the steps: receiving application program data, and identifying a target server pointedby the application program data; whether the target server has stored attribute information or not is inquired, and if yes, the application program data is guided to the target server according to a routing strategy limited by the attribute information; identifying the flow characteristics of the application program data, judging whether the flow characteristics are matched with known flow characteristics limited by the attribute information or not, if not, shortening the effective time limit of the attribute information, and replacing the stored attribute information with the attribute information after the effective time limit is shortened. According to the technical scheme provided by the invention, the mistakenly classified unknown flow can be adjusted in time, so that the guiding efficiency of each flow is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of the Internet, in particular to a traffic guidance method and a traffic identification device. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of Internet technology, new applications in the network are emerging in an endless stream. Different applications will generate different types of service traffic, and different applications have different sensitivity to network quality. Therefore, when guiding service traffic, it is necessary to use lines with network quality that meet the requirements. For example, online game applications have higher requirements on network quality, so for online game applications, lines with better network quality need to be used to guide traffic. [0003] Currently, different applications can be classified by identifying their traffic characteristics. For different types of applications, you can use their own routing policies to guide business traffic. Since a ...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, due to the large randomness of unknown traffic, the traffic characteristics identified at different times may change, resulting in inaccurate classification of unknown traffic

Falsely classifying unknown traffic into the category of known traffic can have multiple detrimental effects

On the one hand, unknown traffic will occupy the line resources of known traffic, resulting in a decrease in the guiding efficiency of known traffic; on the other hand, unknown traffic may have higher requirements on network quality, but if unknown In the category of known traffic with low quality requirements, it will affect the guiding efficiency of unknown traffic
