[0002] Table lookups in switching devices are typically based on a key-action lookup process. After the switch system boots up, the chip's memory resources are divided according to the functional modules. In other words, the flow table corresponding to a specific function only contains the corresponding key and action information. The chip groups keys based on different key types and then uses a hash polynomial for compression calculation to obtain the key table index, which is then used to retrieve information from the action table. This specialized nature of the flow table results in high switch memory usage, reducing memory resource utilization and the expansion of new functions.

[0021] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0022] The method embodiments provided in the embodiments of the present application can be executed in a mobile terminal, a computer terminal or a similar computing device. Taking running on a mobile terminal as an example, Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the hardware structure of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the mobile terminal may include one or more ( Figure 1 Only one is shown) a processor 102 (the processor 102 may include but is not limited to a microprocessor MCU or a programmable logic device FPGA and other processing devices) and a memory 104 for storing data, wherein the mobile terminal may also include a transmission device 106 and an input and output device 108 for communication functions. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that Figure 1 The structure shown is only for illustration and does not limit the structure of the mobile terminal. Figure 1 More or fewer components than shown, or with Figure 1 Different configurations shown.

[0023] The memory 104 can be used to store computer programs, for example, software programs and modules of application software, such as the computer program corresponding to the method for processing event requests in the embodiment of the present invention. The processor 102 executes various functional applications and data processing by running the computer programs stored in the memory 104, that is, implementing the above-mentioned method. The memory 104 may include a high-speed random access memory and may also include a non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic storage devices, flash memory, or other non-volatile solid-state memory. In some examples, the memory 104 may further include a memory remotely located relative to the processor 102, and these remote memories can be connected to the mobile terminal via a network. Examples of the above-mentioned network include, but are not limited to, the Internet, an intranet, a local area network, a mobile communication network, and combinations thereof.

[0024] The transmission device 106 is used to receive or send data via a network. A specific example of the aforementioned network may include a wireless network provided by the mobile terminal's communications provider. In one embodiment, the transmission device 106 includes a network interface controller (NIC), which can be connected to other network devices via a base station to enable communication with the Internet. In one embodiment, the transmission device 106 may be a radio frequency (RF) module, which is used to communicate with the Internet wirelessly.

[0025] In this embodiment, a method for processing an event request is provided. Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for processing an event request according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0026] Step S202: Acquire a target event request received on a switching device, wherein the target event request is used to request execution of a target event on the switching device;

[0027] Step S204: If the target event is an event that the switching device is determined to be allowed to execute after the original operation flow table is established on the switching device, in response to the target event request, obtain the target operation table entry from the original operation flow table, wherein the original operation flow table records the original flow table entry corresponding to the original event that the switching device is allowed to execute and the target operation table entry corresponding to the target event, and the flow table entry recorded in the original operation flow table is used to store the operation for executing the corresponding event;

[0028] Step S206: calling the target operation entry to execute the target event.

[0029] Through the above steps, the original operation flow table records the original flow table entry corresponding to the original event allowed to be executed by the switching device, calls the original operation flow table to record the target operation table entry corresponding to the target event, and then, after receiving the target event request, executes the target operation on the switch device by calling the target operation table entry, thereby realizing calling the space record in the original operation flow table to execute the target operation table entry corresponding to the target event, rather than opening a new operation flow table to record the target operation table entry to execute the target event for the target event. Therefore, the problem of low storage resource utilization of the switching device existing in the related technology is solved, and the effect of improving the storage resource utilization of the switching device is achieved.

[0030] In the technical solution provided in the above step S202, the switching device may include, but is not limited to, a user network edge device, a service provider edge device, etc. For example, the user network edge device may include a switch, a router, and the service provider edge device may be a base station, etc.

[0031] In the technical solution provided in the above step S204, the original operation flow table is used to record the original operation information of executing the original event. The original operation flow table includes original flow table entries recording the original operation information and empty flow table entries that do not record any information.

[0032] Optionally, in this embodiment, the target operation table entry is a flow table entry in the original operation flow table that does not record the original operation information.

[0033] Optionally, in this embodiment, the original operation flow table can be a single table or multiple tables used to execute an original event. For example, the event storage mechanism of the Key-Action table commonly used in switching equipment, the Key table is a key value table in the switch used to find information about execution events, and the Action table is a table item that stores information about the action strategy for executing the original event. The original event flow table can be one or more of the Key table or the Action table, and this solution does not limit this.

[0034] In the technical solution provided in the above step S206, calling the target operation table item to execute the target event can be to run the data stored in the flow table item in the target operation table item, thereby executing the target event, or it can be to extract the data stored in the target operation table item and input the data into other programs for execution. This solution does not limit this.

[0035] As an optional embodiment, the step of responding to the target event request and obtaining the target operation entry from the original operation flow table includes:

[0036] Acquire target index information corresponding to the target event from events and index information having a corresponding relationship, wherein the target index information is used to indicate a target storage location of the target operation entry in the original operation flow table;

[0037] The data stored in the target storage location is searched in the original operation flow table according to the target index information as the target operation table entry.

[0038] Optionally, in this embodiment, the target storage location may be any location in the original operation flow table, such as a table header, a table footer, and the like.

[0039] As an optional embodiment, searching the original operation flow table for the data stored at the target storage location as the target operation table entry according to the target index information includes:

[0040] Acquire a target operation flow table identified by the flow table index included in the target index information from an original operation flow table established on the switching device;

[0041] Acquire, from the information table included in the target operation flow table, the target information table identified by the entry type index included in the target index information;

[0042] The target information table is searched for data stored in the storage location index included in the target index information as the target operation table entry.

[0043] Optionally, in this embodiment, the target information table may be a table in one original operation flow table, or may be a table in multiple original operation flow tables, which is not limited in this solution.

[0044] Optionally, in this embodiment, the target information table may be one or more flow tables in the original operation flow table, which is not limited in this solution.

[0045] Figure 3It is an optional event request processing flow chart according to an embodiment of the present invention, which can be applied to, but is not limited to, searching for operation information stored on a switching device for executing an event. For example, an original event has been created in the switching chip, that is, an original operation flow table corresponding to the original event has been created (a key table and an action table, a keyType is placed in the key table to avoid mismatching, and the action table stores operation information for executing the event corresponding to the key table). In order to execute the original event, the HASH table corresponding to the specific module usually contains multiple key types. After receiving the original event request, the chip performs a key flow table search to obtain the Action flow table index AD index for executing the original event, and indexes the Action flow table ADindex through the BUS, thereby finding the Action table item that stores the event information for executing the original event and performing the message editing action. The present invention stores the operation information of the target event in a table entry in the original operation flow table corresponding to the original event, which does not store the operation information of the original event, such as the unoccupied space in the Key table or the Action table, when adding the operation information of the target event after the original operation flow table of the original event already exists on the switching device. The target event is executed by reusing the unoccupied space in the original operation flow table without adding additional storage resources. When an event request for executing the event is obtained, Figure 3 As shown, it may include but is not limited to the following:

[0046] Step S301: After obtaining the event request, detect the event type identifier KeyType of the event;

[0047] Step S302: When it is detected that the event type identifier is the identifier key corresponding to the original event, it is determined that the event request is a request for requesting execution of the original event, and step S303 is executed;

[0048] Step S303: determine the path information for searching the corresponding original operation flow table through a hash algorithm, and search the Key Memory space storing the Key table based on the path information to find the corresponding Action table;

[0049] Step S304: When the event type identifier is detected as the identifier XKey corresponding to the target event, step S305 is executed;

[0050] Step S305: Obtain target index information corresponding to the target event from the events and index information having a corresponding relationship, and determine whether the entry type storing the operation information corresponding to the target event is a DirectAd type according to the target index information;

[0051] Step S306: When it is determined from the target index information that the table entry type storing the operation information corresponding to the target event is of the DirectAd type, and the Action table entry in the original operation flow table is large enough, and all the operation information corresponding to the target event is stored in the Action table in the original operation flow table, the index path adIndex for searching the target operation table entry storing the operation information of the target event is obtained, and step S312 is executed.

[0052] Step S307: When it is determined that the entry type storing the operation information corresponding to the target event is not a DirectAd type, determine whether the entry type storing the operation information corresponding to the target event is a DirectKeytAd type;

[0053] Step S308: When it is determined from the target index information that the table entry type storing the operation information corresponding to the target event is of the DirecKeytAd type, and the Action table entry in the original operation flow table is not large enough, and the operation information corresponding to the target event is partially stored in the Action table in the original operation flow table and partially stored in the Key table, an index path AdIndex for searching for the target operation table entry storing the operation information of the target event in the Action table and the Key table is obtained. The index path includes the location of the target operation table entry in the Action table and the Key table.

[0054] Step S309: Check whether the depth of the index path is greater than the depth of the target operation entry in the Action table. If the depth of the index path is greater than the depth of the target operation entry in the Action table, execute step S310. If the depth of the index path is not greater than the depth of the target operation entry in the Action table, execute step S312.

[0055] Step S310: When the depth of the index path is greater than the depth of the target operation entry in the Action table, the target operation entry in the Action flow table is deleted from the index path to obtain a deleted index path. The deleted index path only contains the index path used to search for the target operation entry in the Key table, and then step S311 is executed.

[0056] Step S311, searching for the corresponding target operation entry in the Key Memory space storing the Key table according to the index path;

[0057] Step S312: Search the Ad Memory space storing the Action table for the corresponding target operation entry according to the index path.

[0058] The embodiments of the present invention flexibly utilize the key and action storage resources of each level of flow tables to place the action table entry corresponding to a specific flow table. This allows for flexible placement of specific actions within the pipeline architecture and allows for new functionality expansion by reusing existing flow table resources without adding new storage resources. Furthermore, this design does not affect the existing functionality of each level of flow tables, but rather provides a mechanism for flexible resource sharing.

[0059] As an optional embodiment, obtaining the target information table identified by the entry type index included in the target index information from the information table included in the target operation flow table includes:

[0060] In a case where the entry type index is a first identifier, determining that the target information table is a target operation information table included in the target operation flow table, wherein the first identifier is used to indicate that a storage capacity of the target operation table entry is less than or equal to a storage space allowed to be used in the operation information table;

[0061] When the table entry type index is a second identifier, the target information table is determined to be a target index information table and a target operation information table included in the target operation flow table, wherein the second identifier is used to indicate that the storage capacity of the target operation table entry is greater than the storage space allowed in the operation information table.

[0062] Optionally, in this embodiment, the storage space allowed to be used in the operation information table is the storage space that does not store the operation information corresponding to the execution of the original event.

[0063] As an optional embodiment, before obtaining the target operation table entry from the original operation flow table, the method further includes:

[0064] Acquire an event type identifier from the target event request, wherein the event type identifier is used to indicate a timing at which the switching device is allowed to execute the target event;

[0065] In a case where the event type identifier is a target identifier, the target event is determined to be an event that the switching device is allowed to execute after the original operation flow table is established on the switching device.

[0066] Optionally, in this embodiment, the timing of executing the target event is determined according to the setting time of the target event and the original event on the switching device.

[0069] Acquire a target operation flow table whose allowed storage amount satisfies the target storage amount from the original operation flow table established on the switching device;

[0070] The target operation information is stored as the target operation table entry in the target operation flow table.

[0071] Optionally, in this embodiment, the target operation flow table obtained can be an operation flow table in the original operation flow table corresponding to the same original event, or any multiple operation flow tables in multiple original operation flow tables corresponding to multiple original events. This solution does not limit this.
