An in-band network telemetry orchestration method and device in a microservice scenario

By receiving and filtering telemetry data packets in a microservice scenario and forwarding them layer by layer according to the device identification number relationship, full-link in-band network telemetry of the service call chain is realized. This solves the problem that existing technologies cannot detect the entire service call chain at once and meets the measurement requirements of high-performance network infrastructure.

AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing in-band network telemetry methods cannot probe the entire service call chain at once in microservice scenarios, and cannot meet the network measurement needs of high-performance network infrastructure.

Method used

By receiving telemetry data packets constructed by the network telemetry orchestration node and forwarding them to the programmable switching node, the forwarding path of the data packets is determined based on the device identification number relationship. Information of the service call chain is collected layer by layer to form a custom telemetry data packet, and finally the data is processed at the network telemetry orchestration node.

Benefits of technology

It enables full-link in-band network telemetry of service call chains in microservice scenarios, and can detect the entire service call chain at once, meeting the measurement needs of high-performance network infrastructure.

Abstract

The application relates to an in-band network telemetry orchestration method and device in a micro-service scenario, which comprises the following steps: receiving a telemetry data packet constructed by a network telemetry orchestration node, and forwarding the telemetry data packet to a next programmable switching node of a current programmable switching node; screening out a qualified first telemetry data packet; determining, according to the relationship between a first device identification number in a device identification number list in the first telemetry data packet and a device identification number of the current programmable switching node, whether to send the first telemetry data packet to a next hop of the current programmable switching node until the information of all micro-services and all programmable switching nodes is collected to obtain a second telemetry data packet, or whether to forward the first telemetry data packet to the network telemetry orchestration node for data processing; and forwarding the second telemetry data packet to the network telemetry orchestration node for data processing. The application can construct an in-band network telemetry strategy for a full-link service call chain at one time.
