[0065] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0066] Example 1

[0067] This application provides a data packet processing method. In a first embodiment of this data packet processing method, it is applied to a programmable switch, the programmable switch including a data plane, as shown below. Figure 1 The data packet processing method includes:

[0068] Step S10: Obtain the data message to be processed, and parse the data message to be processed through the data plane to obtain message information;

[0069] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the number of data packets to be processed can be a single packet or multiple packets, and the data packets to be processed can be VXLAN packets or ordinary packets other than VXLAN packets.

[0070] For example, the data message to be processed is obtained through the data plane, and the data message to be processed is parsed through the data plane to obtain message information.

[0071] As an example, the five-tuple information of the data packet to be processed is parsed and extracted by the data plane, and the five-tuple information is used as the packet information. The five-tuple information includes at least one of the following: source address, destination address, source port, destination port, and protocol type.

[0072] Step S20: The data plane determines whether to use Virtual Extended Local Area Network (VXLAN) to process the data packet based on the message information.

[0073] For example, the data plane determines whether to use VXLAN to process the data packet based on the five-tuple information in the message information.

[0074] As an example, it is determined whether to use VXLAN to process the data packet to be processed based on the source address, the destination address, the source port, the destination port and / or the protocol type.

[0075] In step S20, the programmable switch further includes a control plane, and the step of determining whether to use a Virtual Extended Local Area Network (VXLAN) to process the data packet based on the packet information through the data plane includes:

[0076] Step S21: Obtain the VXLAN flow table configured by the control plane, wherein the VXLAN flow table includes a VXLAN identifier;

[0077] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the VXLAN flow table is a flow table pre-configured in the control plane.

[0078] For example, the VXLAN flow table configured by the control plane is obtained through the data plane.

[0079] Step S22: Determine whether the message information matches the VXLAN identifier;

[0080] Step S23: If a match is found, it is determined that VXLAN will be used to process the data packet to be processed.

[0081] For example, it is determined whether the message information matches any of the VXLAN identifiers; if the message information matches any of the VXLAN identifiers, it is determined that VXLAN will be used to process the data message to be processed.

[0082] As an example, the process involves traversing each VXLAN identifier in the VXLAN flow table based on the message information to determine whether the message information matches the VXLAN identifier.

[0083] In step S22, the message information includes a message identifier. After the step of determining whether the message information matches the VXLAN identifier, the method further includes:

[0084] Step S221: If there is no match, determine whether the packet identifier belongs to the VXLAN identifier type through the data plane;

[0085] Step S222: If it belongs to the category, then determine that VXLAN will be used to process the data packet to be processed.

[0086] For example, if the message information does not match the VXLAN identifier, the message identifier is identified through the data plane to determine whether the message identifier belongs to the VXLAN identifier type; if the message identifier belongs to the VXLAN identifier type, it is determined that VXLAN will be used to process the data message to be processed; if the message identifier does not belong to the VXLAN identifier type, it is determined that VXLAN will not be used to forward the data message to be processed.

[0087] It is understandable that, since the VXLAN flow table configured in the control plane may not include all VXLAN packet information, there may be cases where the data packet to be processed is actually a VXLAN packet, but because there is no VXLAN identifier in the VXLAN flow table configured in the control plane that matches the packet information of the data packet to be processed, the data packet to be processed is misjudged. This leads to the data packet to be processed using the normal packet processing method, which is required to be processed by VXLAN, resulting in the data packet being unable to be processed or the data packet processing efficiency being low.

[0088] By identifying the packet identifier of the data packet to be processed through the data plane when the packet information of the data packet to be processed does not match the VXLAN identifier in the VXLAN flow table configured in the control plane, the data packet to be processed is processed using VXLAN. This avoids the technical defect of misjudging the data packet to be processed and using ordinary packet processing method for the data packet that needs to be processed using VXLAN, resulting in the data packet being unable to be processed or the data packet processing efficiency being low. This improves the processing efficiency of the data packet.

[0089] Step S30: If yes, then the data packet to be processed is encapsulated with a header to obtain a VXLAN packet, and the VXLAN packet is processed.

[0090] For example, if VXLAN is used to forward the data packet to be processed, the data packet to be processed is encapsulated with a header to obtain a VXLAN packet, and the VXLAN packet is processed; if VXLAN is not used to forward the data packet to be processed, the data packet to be processed is processed directly.

[0091] In step S30, the programmable switch further includes a control plane, and the step of encapsulating the data packet to be processed with a header to obtain a VXLAN packet includes:

[0092] Step S31: Obtain the VXLAN flow table configured by the control plane, wherein the VXLAN flow table includes the correspondence between VXLAN identifiers and VXLAN tunnel endpoints;

[0093] As an example, the VXLAN tunnel endpoints include a first tunnel endpoint and a second tunnel endpoint.

[0094] Step S32: The target VXLAN identifier matching the message information is obtained by querying the VXLAN flow table through the data plane based on the message information;

[0095] Step S33: Encapsulate the header of the data packet to be processed by using the target tunnel endpoint corresponding to the target VXLAN identifier in the VXLAN flow table.

[0096] As an example, the header of the data packet to be processed is encapsulated using the target first tunnel endpoint corresponding to the target VXLAN identifier in the VXLAN flow table.

[0097] In step S30, the message information further includes a routing address, which may be an internal routing address or an external routing address. The step of processing the VXLAN message includes:

[0098] Step S311: Identify the source port of the data packet to be processed through the data plane to obtain the port identification result;

[0099] As an example, the data plane identifies the source port of the data packet to be processed based on the five-tuple information in the message information, and obtains the port identification result.

[0100] Step S312: If the port identification result includes an ingress port, then the VXLAN packet is forwarded to the internal routing address through the target tunnel endpoint;

[0101] As an example, if the port identification result includes an ingress port, the VXLAN packet is forwarded to the routing address through the target second tunnel endpoint corresponding to the target VXLAN identifier.

[0102] As an example, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is an example diagram illustrating the processing flow of a data packet when the port identification result of the data packet to be processed includes the ingress port, as described in this application embodiment. Figure 3This includes: the data plane (shown in the diagram), the control plane (shown in the diagram), the data packets to be processed (shown in the diagram), the packet header (shown in the diagram as the VXLAN packet header), and the internal routing address (shown in the diagram as routing information). The data plane parses the data packets to be processed, identifying the source port. The control plane receives configuration commands, configures the VXLAN flow table, and matches the data packets to be processed against the VXLAN flow table. If a match is found, the data packet is encapsulated with a packet header; otherwise, it is not processed. Finally, the data packets to be processed are sent based on their internal routing addresses.

[0103] Step S313: If the port identification result includes an outgoing port, then the VXLAN packet is forwarded to the external routing address through the outgoing port.

[0104] As an example, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is an example diagram illustrating the processing flow of a data packet when the port identification result of the data packet to be processed includes an outgoing port, as described in this application embodiment. Figure 3 This includes: the data plane (shown in the diagram), the control plane (shown in the diagram), the data packets to be processed (shown in the diagram), the packet header (shown in the diagram's VXLAN packet header), and the internal routing address (shown in the diagram's routing information). The data plane parses the data packets to be processed, identifying the source port. The control plane receives configuration commands, configures the VXLAN flow table, and matches the data packets to be processed against the VXLAN flow table. If a match is found, VXLAN parsing is performed on the data packets; otherwise, no processing is performed. Based on the internal routing address of the data packet to be processed, the data packet is then sent.

[0105] By identifying the source port of the data to be processed, the data packets to be processed can be accurately forwarded or received.

[0106] This application provides a data packet processing method. Compared to methods that use software logic to implement VXLAN packet processing, this application applies to a programmable switch. The programmable switch includes a data plane. It acquires a data packet to be processed and parses the data packet to obtain packet information. The data plane determines whether to use Virtual Extended Local Area Network (VXLAN) to process the data packet based on the packet information. If so, it encapsulates the data packet with a header to obtain a VXLAN packet and processes the VXLAN packet. Since the data plane also has a built-in DPU (Data Processing Unit), it can process massive amounts of data, thereby reducing the CPU's data processing load and CPU usage. Therefore, it improves the processing efficiency of data packets while ensuring high processing performance.

[0107] Example 2

[0108] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 Based on the first embodiment of this application, in another embodiment of this application, the same or similar content as in the first embodiment can be referred to the above description, and will not be repeated hereafter. In addition, in step S222, the message information further includes a routing address. After the step of determining that VXLAN is used to process the data message to be processed if it belongs to the routing address, the method further includes:

[0109] Step A10: The data plane generates the tunnel endpoint corresponding to the packet identifier based on the routing address, and generates a set of updated flow table information based on the packet identifier and the tunnel endpoint corresponding to the packet identifier;

[0110] For example, the data plane generates a tunnel endpoint corresponding to the packet identifier based on the routing address and the packet information, and generates a set of updated flow table information based on the packet identifier and the tunnel endpoint corresponding to the packet identifier.

[0111] Step A20: The control plane updates the VXLAN flow table according to the updated flow table information.

[0112] For example, the updated flow table information is sent to the control plane through the data plane, and the updated flow table information is added to the VXLAN flow table through the control plane to update the VXLAN flow table.

[0113] Specifically, in step S31, prior to the step of obtaining the VXLAN flow table configured by the control plane, the method further includes:

[0114] Step S311: Obtain multiple sets of preset flow table information, wherein each set of flow table information includes a correspondence between a VXLAN identifier and a VXLAN tunnel endpoint, and different flow table information corresponds to different VXLAN identifiers;

[0115] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the multiple sets of flow table information can be set by the user or by experience.

[0116] Step S312: VXLAN flow tables are configured through the control plane based on the multiple sets of flow table information.

[0117] For example, a VXLAN flow table is obtained by constructing flow tables based on the multiple sets of flow table information through the control plane.

[0118] This application provides a data packet processing method. Compared to methods that use software logic to implement VXLAN packet processing, this application applies to a programmable switch. The programmable switch includes a data plane. It acquires a data packet to be processed and parses the data packet to obtain packet information. The data plane determines whether to use Virtual Extended Local Area Network (VXLAN) to process the data packet based on the packet information. If so, it encapsulates the data packet with a header to obtain a VXLAN packet and processes the VXLAN packet. Since the data plane also has a built-in DPU (Data Processing Unit), it can process massive amounts of data, thereby reducing the CPU's data processing load and CPU usage. Therefore, it improves the processing efficiency of data packets while ensuring high processing performance.

[0134] If the port identification result includes an ingress port, then the VXLAN flow table configured by the control plane is obtained, wherein the VXLAN flow table includes the correspondence between VXLAN identifiers and VXLAN tunnel endpoints. The target VXLAN identifier matching the message information is obtained by querying the VXLAN flow table according to the message information. The VXLAN message is forwarded to the internal routing address through the target tunnel endpoint corresponding to the target VXLAN identifier in the VXLAN flow table.
