Message forwarding method, device, network equipment and medium

Abstract

The present application provides a message forwarding method and device, a network device, and a computer-readable medium. Wherein, the method includes: encapsulating the received first message to be encapsulated into a second message; according to the input port receiving the first message, determining from the member ports of the aggregated port the corresponding input port output port, wherein the input port is a member port of the aggregation port; the second packet is forwarded through the determined output port. The above method provided by this application can distinguish messages of different data streams according to the input port of the message, and forward them through different output ports, avoiding the use of flow-by-flow load sharing technology to cause messages of multiple data streams to pass through the same The problem of port forwarding can effectively solve the problem of uneven load sharing between different ports in the aggregated port, and then give full play to the high throughput characteristics of the aggregated port, and effectively improve the communication rate between AP and AC.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of network communication technologies, and in particular, to a packet forwarding method and apparatus, a network device, and a computer-readable medium. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of communication technology, higher throughput requirements have gradually become an important indicator of wireless applications. The emergence of 802.11ac and 802.1ax wireless products enables wireless communication rates to easily exceed 1Gbps. AP (Access Point, Access Point) products with more than 2 Ethernet ports (GE, EthernetPort) emerge as the times require. By aggregating multiple Ethernet ports, the aggregated ports obtained by aggregation can be used to achieve higher communication rates. [0003] At present, CAPWAP (Control And Provisioning of Wireless Access Points Protocol Specification) tunnel is mainly used for communication between AP and AC (Access Controller), and AC establishes cont...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] When APs and ACs use aggregated ports, the problem of uneven load sharing between different ports in the aggregated port will inevitably occur. The current mainstream load sharing solution is flow-by-flow load sharing technology. It is encapsulated by the AP through the CAPWAP tunnel, and the outer characteristics of the encapsulated packets of the same AP are basically the same. In this way, for the AP using the aggregation port, if the flow-by-flow load Therefore, the packets of all data streams will be output from the same Ethernet port, and the effect of load sharing cannot be achieved, resulting in the data transmission bottleneck of the AP, and the characteristics and advantages of its aggregation port cannot be used.

For an AC that uses an aggregated port, after encapsulating the packet, it also has the same problem as the above-mentioned AP
