Embodiment Construction

[0025] The technical solutions described in the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] The invention is based on figure 1 The flow table number optimization process of the SDN in-band control network shown in the figure divides the controller into a grouping algorithm module, a label allocation module and a label forwarding module. The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0027] The grouping algorithm module groups the switch nodes of the whole network, and sends the grouping results to the label distribution module. The grouping of a typical network is as follows figure 2 shown. The input of the group selection algorithm of the switch is the network topology G, and the output is the final group set O. The algorithm steps are as follows:

[0028] 1) Calculate the shortest path from all switch nodes to the controller and the number of intermediate hops to the controller;

Abstract

The present invention proposes a method for optimizing the number of flow tables in an SDN in-band control network. In this method, switches in the network are grouped, and each group is assigned a specific label identifier. By changing the matching field of the flow table from an IP address to a label, The label forwarding of the control network is realized, and the number of flow tables of the in-band control network is reduced. The method for optimizing the number of flow tables in the SDN in-band control network is mainly composed of a grouping algorithm module, a label distribution module, and a label forwarding module. Labels are assigned to the group, and the label forwarding module generates a flow table for label forwarding. The invention solves the problem of too many control flow flow tables in a large-scale network, and improves the use efficiency of switch flow table resources.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of communication networks, and proposes a method for optimizing the number of flow tables based on packet label forwarding in an SDN in-band control network. Background technique [0002] In the SDN network, there are two ways to deploy controllers and switches: out-of-band control mode (out-band) and in-band control mode (in-band). In the out-of-band control mode, the controller and the switch are forwarded through a dedicated transmission channel, that is, control information and service information use different transmission links. In the in-band control mode, the control information and service information between the controller and the switch share a physical link for forwarding. [0003] Compared with the out-of-band control mode of establishing dedicated lines, in-band control can reduce the complexity of large-scale network deployment and improve the economy of network construction. Due to good flexibility a...
