Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of data packet distribution, and in particular relates to a flow data packet distribution method, storage medium and device based on BGP active-active architecture. Background Art

[0002] As networks continue to expand and become more interdependent, the failure of a single network link or device can lead to severe data outages and business losses. To address this issue, researchers are exploring multipath forwarding and automatic failover, leading to the development of BGP active-active architecture. In the modern internet environment, network reliability and connectivity are crucial to the normal operation of organizations. BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) active-active architecture is a key solution for achieving high availability and fault tolerance.

[0003] The core concept of BGP active-active architecture technology is to achieve redundant paths and load balancing by connecting multiple autonomous systems (ASs). An AS is a collection of network devices with the same routing policies and administrative domain, such as an enterprise's internal network or an internet service provider's network. By establishing BGP neighbor relationships between multiple ASes, network administrators can exchange routing information through BGP and select the optimal path for each destination. These paths can be adjusted according to predefined policies to achieve load balancing and fault recovery. If the primary path fails, BGP can automatically detect the failure and switch to the backup path, ensuring data continuity and availability.

[0004] BGP active-active architecture technology is suitable for a wide range of scenarios, including large enterprises, financial institutions, and internet service providers. These organizations often have critical business requirements and need to ensure their networks are always available and highly fault-tolerant. By implementing an active-active architecture, they can reduce the impact of single points of failure on the network and improve overall availability and performance.

[0005] However, despite the numerous advantages offered by BGP active-active architecture, there are also some challenges and limitations. During the switchover process, packet loss or out-of-order delivery may occur. When a network failure or link switchover occurs, BGP needs to recalculate the optimal path and notify other routers to make forwarding adjustments, which takes time. This can lead to packet loss or out-of-order delivery during the switchover. For applications that require extremely high data continuity, such as real-time voice or video transmission, this can result in a degraded user experience or service interruption. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In response to the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a traffic data packet distribution method, storage medium and device based on the BGP active-active architecture. The BGP active-active architecture can connect multiple autonomous systems at the same time and achieve load balancing of traffic data packet distribution through multi-path forwarding, ensuring the continuous availability of the forwarding path, thereby achieving highly reliable network communication.

[0007] To achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a traffic data packet distribution method based on BGP active-active architecture, specifically comprising the following steps:

[0008] Step 1: Configure an SDN controller in the BGP active-active architecture to monitor network traffic in real time. Use Prometheus to collect key network traffic information and adjust the weight of each path based on traffic resource usage and network conditions.

[0009] Step 2: For traffic data packets to be distributed in the BGP active-active architecture, a hash value is calculated using a hash function based on the source IP address of the traffic data packet, and traffic data packets with equal hash values are clustered;

[0010] Step 3: Perform a modulo operation on the clustered traffic data packets to obtain the distribution path of the traffic data packets of this type;

[0011] Step 4: Combine the path weight corresponding to the distribution path with the hash value of the traffic data packet to obtain the weight hash of the traffic data packet. The traffic data packet with a smaller weight hash is sent preferentially from the corresponding distribution path.

[0012] Furthermore, step 1 includes the following sub-steps:

[0013] Step 101: Initialize the path weight according to the importance of the paths between routes in the BGP active-active architecture: if it is not important, set the path weight to 10%; if it is moderately important, set the path weight to 20%; if it is relatively important, set the path weight to 30%; if it is very important, set the path weight to 40%;

[0014] Step 102: Configure an SDN controller in the BGP active-active architecture to monitor network traffic in real time and collect key network traffic information through Prometheus. If the traffic on a certain path is less than the traffic lower limit, reduce the path weight by 5%; if the traffic on a certain path is greater than the traffic upper limit, increase the path weight by 5%; if the load on a certain path is less than the load lower limit, reduce the path weight by 5%; if the load on a certain path is greater than the load upper limit, increase the path weight by 5%; if there is a performance anomaly on a certain path, reduce the path weight by 5%; if a new path is required based on key business needs, set the new path weight to 35%.

[0015] Furthermore, the process of the modulo operation in step 3 is specifically as follows:

[0016] i=H(SIP)%N

[0017] Where i represents the distribution path of the traffic data packet, H(SIP) represents the hash value of the traffic data packet, and N represents the total number of paths between two routers in the BGP active-active architecture.

[0018] Furthermore, the calculation process of the weighted hash of the traffic data packet in step 4 is:

[0019] L i =W i *H(SIP)

[0020] Among them, W i represents the adjustment weight of the i-th distribution path, H(SIP) represents the hash value of the traffic data packet, L i Represents the weighted hash of the traffic data packet on the i-th distribution path.

[0021] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, wherein the computer program enables a computer to execute the traffic data packet distribution method based on the BGP active-active architecture.

[0022] Furthermore, the present invention also provides an electronic device, comprising: a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein when the processor executes the computer program, the traffic data packet distribution method is implemented.

[0023] Compared with the existing technology, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: the traffic data packet distribution method based on the BGP active-active architecture of the present invention disperses the source IP addresses of the traffic data packets to different paths through a hash function, thereby achieving a balanced distribution of traffic data packets, thereby reducing the packet loss and disorder that may occur during the switching process; by introducing persistent hashing technology, it ensures that the traffic with the same source IP address is always allocated to the same path, thereby ensuring the continuity of the data; even in the event of a link failure or switching, the traffic can be seamlessly switched between different paths, minimizing the interruption perceived by the user. At the same time, the present invention configures an SDN controller to monitor real-time network traffic, dynamically adjust path weights, ensure balanced traffic distribution, and distribute traffic data packets in order based on the size of the traffic data packet weight hash, further improving network performance and response speed. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the traffic data packet distribution method based on the BGP active-active architecture of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The technical solution of the present invention will be further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] like Figure 1 The flow chart of the traffic data packet distribution method based on the BGP active-active architecture of the present invention specifically includes the following steps:

[0027] Step 1: Configure an SDN controller in the BGP active-active architecture to monitor network traffic in real time. Prometheus collects critical network traffic information. Eastbound APIs enable SDN controllers to share network status information and coordinate policies to achieve multi-controller collaboration. Path weights are adjusted based on traffic resource usage and network conditions, optimizing traffic distribution along the paths. This includes the following sub-steps:

[0028] Step 101: Initialize the path weight according to the importance of the paths between routes in the BGP active-active architecture: if it is not important, set the path weight to 10%; if it is moderately important, set the path weight to 20%; if it is relatively important, set the path weight to 30%; if it is very important, set the path weight to 40%;

[0029] Step 102: Configure an SDN controller in the BGP active-active architecture to monitor network traffic in real time. Prometheus collects critical network traffic information. If traffic on a path falls below a lower limit, the path weight is reduced by 5%. If traffic on a path exceeds an upper limit, the path weight is increased by 5%. Path weights are dynamically adjusted based on traffic analysis to ensure more balanced traffic across all paths. If the load on a path falls below a lower limit, the path weight is reduced by 5%. If the load on a path exceeds an upper limit, the path weight is increased by 5%. This prevents overloading of any path and improves the overall performance of the BGP active-active architecture. If performance anomalies occur on a path, the path weight is reduced by 5% to reduce traffic load and optimize path performance. If a new path is required based on critical business needs, the new path weight is set to 35% to ensure low latency requirements for critical services are met. This present invention achieves the goal of optimizing path selection strategies by dynamically adjusting path weights based on factors such as traffic analysis, load conditions, link performance, and business needs. These adjustments, to a certain extent, reflect quantitative improvements in path performance and traffic distribution to adapt to network traffic and business needs in SDN scenarios under different circumstances, optimizing the security of data traffic transmission while ensuring performance.

[0030] Step 2: For traffic data packets to be distributed in the BGP active-active architecture, a hash value is calculated using a hash function based on the source IP address of the traffic data packet, and traffic data packets with equal hash values are clustered. Traffic data packets are clustered based on the source IP address of the traffic data packet, thereby achieving fine control and balanced distribution of traffic, which can greatly improve network performance and load balancing capabilities.

[0031] Step 3: The clustered traffic data packets are subjected to a modulo operation to obtain the distribution path of the traffic data packets of this type. In the context of path selection, the modulo operation is used to map the calculated hash value to the range of the path to determine which path should be selected.

[0032] The process of the modulo operation in the present invention is specifically as follows:

[0033] i=H(SIP)%N

[0034] Where i represents the distribution path of the traffic data packet, H(SIP) represents the hash value of the traffic data packet, and N represents the total number of paths between two routers in the BGP active-active architecture.

[0035] Step 4: Combine the path weight corresponding to the distribution path with the hash value of the traffic data packet to obtain the weight hash of the traffic data packet. The traffic data packet with a smaller weight hash is sent preferentially from the corresponding distribution path.

[0036] The calculation process of the weighted hash of the traffic data packet in the present invention is:

[0037] L i =W i *H(SIP)

[0038] Among them, W i represents the adjustment weight of the i-th distribution path, H(SIP) represents the hash value of the traffic data packet, L i Represents the weighted hash of the traffic data packet on the i-th distribution path.

[0039] The traffic data packet distribution method based on the BGP active-active architecture of the present invention distributes traffic data packets in sequence according to the size of the weight hash of the traffic data packets, intelligently distributes traffic according to the real-time network status and load conditions, improves the flexibility, scalability and performance of the network, and realizes dynamic path selection while ensuring balanced load and taking weight into consideration, so that network traffic can be more evenly distributed to different paths, thereby improving the throughput and response speed of the network.
