[0036] The following is a description of exemplary embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, including various details of the embodiments of the present invention to facilitate understanding, which should be considered as merely exemplary. Therefore, it should be recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes and modifications may be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. Similarly, for clarity and conciseness, the description of well-known functions and structures is omitted in the following description.

[0037] It should be pointed out that the embodiments of the present invention and the technical features therein may be combined with each other without conflict.

[0038] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of main steps of the method for traffic distribution according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the flow distribution method of the embodiment of the present invention mainly includes the following steps:

[0040] Step S101: Obtaining traffic messages;

[0041] Step S102: determining the message group information corresponding to the flow message according to the path information and protocol information of the flow message;

[0042] Step S103: determining whether there is a first flow port corresponding to the message group information, and managing the first flow port according to the real-time flow;

[0043] If yes, executing step S104: allocating the traffic message to the first traffic port;

[0044] If not, execute step S104: distribute the traffic message to the target second traffic port, the target second traffic port is managed according to the fixed bandwidth, and the real-time traffic of the target second traffic port is less than the preset first fixed bandwidth.

[0045] In the existing traffic distribution field, there are usually two types of traffic output ports, namely ordinary traffic ports (first traffic ports) and fixed bandwidth traffic ports (second traffic ports), and operators use different billing methods for different traffic ports. Among them, ordinary traffic ports are managed according to real-time traffic, that is, they are charged according to the amount of output traffic, while fixed bandwidth traffic ports are charged according to fixed bandwidth, that is, a fixed fee is charged within a specific time. Therefore, for users of traffic, in order to reduce costs as much as possible and ensure the stability of running services, fixed bandwidth traffic ports will be used as much as possible. The embodiment of the present invention achieves the purpose of reasonably allocating traffic ports for different message group information on the basis of giving priority to fixed bandwidth traffic ports as much as possible.

[0046] It should be noted that there are usually multiple first flow ports and second flow ports, and the target second flow port is a flow port whose real-time flow is less than the preset first fixed bandwidth among the second flow ports, and is a part of the second flow ports. In an optional embodiment, the preset first fixed bandwidth can be set to 90% of the total bandwidth to ensure the normal operation of the flow port and avoid problems such as data packet loss.

[0047] Message group information, which can be understood as a data stream, is a group of ordered data sequences of bytes with a start point and an end point. It usually includes one or more traffic messages during the same connection. For each message group information, only the first traffic message is used to establish a connection with the target interface, and a SYN (Synchronize Sequence Numbers) is generated. Subsequent messages do not need to repeatedly establish connections. Among them, the synchronization sequence number is a handshake message used when TCP / IP establishes a connection. When a normal TCP network connection is established between a client and a server, the client first sends a SYN message, and the server uses a SYN+ACK response to indicate that the message has been received. Finally, the client responds with an ACK message. In this way, a reliable TCP connection can be established between the client and the server, and data can be transmitted between the client and the server. In other words, among multiple traffic messages belonging to the same message group information, only the first traffic message has a synchronization sequence number, and there is no synchronization sequence number in subsequent traffic messages.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present invention, since the second flow port is preferentially used for flow output, if there is a first flow port corresponding to the message group information, it means that the current flow message is not the first time to allocate the port, and it also means that the second flow port has reached the load, so the flow message can be directly allocated to the first flow port. If there is no first flow port corresponding to the message group information, it is necessary to re-determine the real-time flow of the second flow port. The embodiment of the present invention uses the message group information as the allocation standard of the flow port, and can uniformly allocate messages of the same message group information without the need to allocate ports separately for messages of the same message group information, which is convenient and fast.

[0049] Regarding the step of determining the message group information corresponding to the flow message based on the path information and protocol information of the flow message in step S102, in an optional embodiment, it includes: determining the message group information to which the flow message belongs based on the source IP, destination IP, source port, destination port and protocol type in the flow message.

[0050] Among them, the source IP, destination IP, source port, destination port and protocol type in the traffic message are usually called quintuple information, which is a set composed of the above five quantities and can represent the path information and protocol information of the traffic message.

[0051] Regarding the step of determining whether there is a first flow port corresponding to the message group information in step S103, in an optional embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, including:

[0052] Step S201: Calculate the summary value of the traffic message according to the source IP, destination IP, source port, destination port and protocol type;

[0053] Step S202: Determine whether there is a target summary value that is the same as the summary value in the preset flow table; wherein the summary value in the preset flow table is calculated based on the source IP, destination IP, source port, destination port and protocol type of the historical traffic message;

[0054] If yes, execute step S203: determine whether the first flow port exists; if not, execute step S204: determine whether the first flow port does not exist.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present invention, a preset flow table is set to store summary values ​​of traffic packets output from the first traffic outlet, that is, all packet group information output from the first traffic outlet is stored. Therefore, by judging the summary value, it is possible to know whether the packet group information to which the current packet belongs has been output from the first traffic outlet.

[0056] In an optional embodiment, when there is no first flow port corresponding to the message group information, that is, no match to the preset flow table, and the real-time traffic is greater than the preset first fixed bandwidth, that is, there is no target second flow port, such as Figure 3 As shown, it may include:

[0057] Step S301: Determine whether there is a synchronization sequence number in the traffic message;

[0058] If yes, execute step S302: assign the traffic message to the first traffic port;

[0059] If not, execute step S303: allocate traffic ports to traffic packets according to the real-time traffic of one or more second traffic ports and the preset second fixed bandwidths corresponding to the one or more second traffic ports; the preset second fixed bandwidth is greater than the preset first fixed bandwidth.

[0060] When the first traffic port corresponding to the message group information does not exist, that is, the preset flow table is not matched, it means that there is no record of the message group information being output from the first traffic outlet. There may be two situations. One is that the current message is the first traffic message of the message group information, and the other is that the second traffic outlet has not yet reached saturation, and the message group information has always been output from the second traffic outlet. Therefore, it is necessary to first determine the synchronization sequence number. If it exists, the traffic message is assigned to the first traffic port and the summary value of the message group information is added to the preset flow table. If it does not exist, it is further determined whether it is greater than the preset second fixed bandwidth. Among them, the preset second fixed bandwidth can be set to 99% of the total bandwidth to ensure that data is not lost.

[0061] In the case where there is no synchronization sequence number, in some optional embodiments, the flow port is allocated to the flow message, including: when the real-time flow of any second flow port is less than or equal to the corresponding preset second fixed bandwidth, the second flow port whose real-time flow is less than or equal to the corresponding preset second fixed bandwidth is used as the flow port; in other optional embodiments, when the real-time flow of all second flow ports is greater than the corresponding preset second fixed bandwidth, the flow message is allocated to the first flow port. In other words, when all second flow ports have reached the preset second fixed bandwidth, it means that all second flow ports are running at full capacity and cannot output more flow, then the flow message is allocated to the first flow port.

[0062] In actual application, there may be multiple first flow ports and / or second flow ports. In an optional embodiment, when there are multiple first flow ports, flow packets are distributed through load balancing; in another optional embodiment, when there are multiple target second flow ports, flow packets are also distributed through load balancing.

[0063] In an optional embodiment, the above-mentioned traffic distribution method can be implemented based on a programmable switch or an architecture server. For example, a p4 programmable switch or an X86 server. For an X86 server, due to the limitation of the server's bandwidth and forwarding capacity, it is unable to meet the Tb-level bandwidth and data packet line speed processing capacity. Therefore, the server implementation software development cost and equipment cost are relatively high, and it is preferably implemented based on a programmable switch.

[0064] After the traffic port is allocated, the egress switch is usually required to send the traffic, so the programmable switch is required to pass the determined port to the egress switch in the form of an identifier, including: adding the identifier of the first traffic port or the identifier of the target second traffic port to the traffic message, and sending the traffic message with the identifier to the egress switch, so that the egress switch determines the first traffic port or the target second traffic port according to the identifier. Among them, the added identifier can be represented by DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point), which is usually present in the IP header and can distinguish the priority by the encoding value.

[0065] It should be noted that the interaction process between the egress switch and the programmable switch is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the route at the egress switch corresponds one-to-one to the traffic port connected to the operator. For the route interaction between the egress switch and the programmable switch, in an optional embodiment, a source-in-source-out method is adopted. When a fault occurs, the route is directly disconnected without affecting the normal forwarding of business traffic.

[0066] Figure 5 A specific method for distributing traffic according to an embodiment of the present invention is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, including:

[0067] Step S501: Obtaining traffic messages;

[0068] Step S502: Determine corresponding quintuple information according to the message group information of the traffic message;

[0069] Step S503: Calculate the summary value corresponding to the traffic message through the five-tuple information, and determine whether the summary value exists in the preset flow table;

[0070] If yes, executing step S504: allocating the traffic message to the first traffic port;

[0071] If not, executing step S505: determining whether the real-time traffic of the second traffic port is less than the preset first fixed bandwidth;

[0072] If the bandwidth is less than the preset first bandwidth, executing step S506: allocating the traffic message to the second traffic port;

[0073] In the case that the bandwidth is greater than or equal to the preset first bandwidth, step S507 is executed: determining whether there is a synchronization sequence number in the traffic message; if yes, step S508 is executed: allocating the traffic message to the first traffic port; if not, steps S509 and S510 are executed;

[0074] Step S509: when the real-time traffic of the second traffic port is less than the preset second fixed bandwidth, allocating the traffic message to the second traffic port;

[0075] Step S510: when the real-time traffic of all second traffic ports is greater than the corresponding preset second fixed bandwidth, the traffic message is allocated to the first traffic port.

[0076] According to the method for traffic distribution in an embodiment of the present invention, a traffic port is allocated to a traffic message from the perspective of message group information, and the traffic port to be allocated to the traffic message is determined based on whether there is a corresponding first traffic port in the message group information corresponding to the traffic message. This can be a reasonable traffic distribution management method, and according to different management methods, problems such as message loss, traffic port overload and low distribution efficiency can be avoided.

[0083] In an optional embodiment, the allocation module 603 is also used to, when the real-time traffic of any second traffic port is less than or equal to the corresponding preset second fixed bandwidth, use the second traffic port whose real-time traffic is less than or equal to the corresponding preset second fixed bandwidth as the traffic port.

[0084] In an optional embodiment, the allocation module 603 is further configured to allocate the traffic message to the first traffic port when the real-time traffic of all the second traffic ports is greater than the corresponding preset second fixed bandwidth.

[0085] In an optional embodiment, the determination module 602 is further used to determine the message group information to which the flow message belongs according to the source IP, destination IP, source port, destination port and protocol type in the flow message.

[0086] In an optional embodiment, the allocation module 603 is also used to calculate the summary value of the traffic message based on the source IP, destination IP, source port, destination port and protocol type; determine whether there is a target summary value that is the same as the summary value in the preset flow table; wherein the summary value in the preset flow table is calculated based on the source IP, destination IP, source port, destination port and protocol type of the historical traffic message; if so, determine that the first traffic port exists.

[0087] In an optional embodiment, the allocation module 603 is further used to allocate the traffic packets in a load balancing manner when there are multiple first traffic ports or multiple target second traffic ports.

[0088] In an optional embodiment, the allocation module 603 is also used to add the identifier of the first traffic port or the identifier of the target second traffic port to the traffic message, and send the traffic message with the identifier to the egress switch, so that the egress switch determines the first traffic port or the target second traffic port according to the identifier.

[0089] In an optional embodiment, the traffic distribution device implements the traffic distribution method based on a programmable switch or an architecture server.

[0090] According to the device for traffic distribution in an embodiment of the present invention, a traffic port is allocated to a traffic message from the perspective of message group information, and the traffic port to be allocated to the traffic message is determined based on whether there is a corresponding first traffic port in the message group information corresponding to the traffic message. This can provide a reasonable traffic distribution management method, and according to different management methods, avoid problems such as message loss, traffic port overload, and low distribution efficiency.

The above computer-readable medium carries one or more programs, and when the above one or more programs are executed by a device, the device includes: obtaining a flow message; determining the message group information to which the flow message belongs; determining whether there is a first flow port corresponding to the message group information, and the first flow port is managed according to real-time flow; if yes, the flow message is assigned to the first flow port; if not, the flow message is assigned to a target second flow port, and the target second flow port is managed according to a fixed bandwidth, and the real-time flow of the target second flow port is less than the preset first fixed bandwidth.

[0105] According to the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, a traffic port is allocated to a traffic message from the perspective of message group information, and the traffic port to be allocated to the traffic message is determined based on whether there is a corresponding first traffic port in the message group information corresponding to the traffic message. This can be a reasonable traffic allocation management method, and according to different management methods, it can avoid the problems of message loss, traffic port overload and low allocation efficiency.

[0106] The above specific implementations do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations and substitutions may occur depending on design requirements and other factors. Any modification, equivalent substitution and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
