Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of network communication technology, and specifically to a gateway architecture method, apparatus, and storage medium that supports custom routing rules. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the internet, the complexity of network architectures is constantly increasing, and traditional gateway architectures are proving inadequate in handling dynamic and diverse network requests. Especially when facing a large number of user requests and different application scenarios, existing static routing rules cannot meet practical needs. Therefore, designing a gateway architecture that supports custom routing rules has become crucial to solving this problem. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of the above technologies, this invention provides a gateway architecture method, device, and storage medium that can be widely applied to various scenarios requiring dynamic routing management.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this invention to overcome its technical problems is:

[0005] A gateway architecture method that supports custom routing rules includes:

[0006] S1. Establish a routing rule configuration module. Users can use the routing rule configuration module to customize routing rules, set different routing conditions, routing actions, and routing priorities through a graphical interface or scripting language.

[0007] S2. Establish a routing rule parsing module. The routing rule parsing module parses the user-configured routing rules and generates executable routing rule instructions.

[0008] S3. Establish a routing processing module, which processes network traffic according to the routing rule instructions parsed by the routing rule parsing module;

[0009] S4. Establish a network interface module to enable the gateway to connect and communicate with the external network. The routing processing module monitors the network traffic received by the network interface module in real time, matches the source address, destination address, and port number information in the network traffic with the routing rules, and executes the corresponding routing actions.

[0010] Furthermore, in step S1, based on the request header routing, requests containing specific fields in the request header are routed to the backend cluster.

[0011] Furthermore, in step S1, the URL path-based routing routes requests that meet the path rules to the backend service, adding specific request header information to the request header.

[0012] Furthermore, in step S1, based on weighted load balancing routing, all requests that meet the specified characteristics are sent to different service clusters in the backend based on the load balancing algorithm.

[0013] Furthermore, step S2 includes the following steps:

[0014] S2-1. The routing rule parsing module reads the routing rules configured by the user;

[0015] S2-2. The routing rule parsing module performs syntax analysis on the read routing rules, decomposing the routing rules into several syntax units;

[0016] S2-3. The routing rule parsing module constructs the logical structure of routing rules;

[0017] S2-4. The routing rule parsing module performs logical verification on the routing rules. Logical verification includes: checking whether there are logical conflicts between conditions, and checking whether the actions and priorities are logically consistent.

[0018] S2-5. If the routing rule passes the logical verification, the routing rule parsing module will convert the routing rule into an executable routing rule instruction;

[0019] S2-6. If a syntax error or logical error occurs during syntax analysis, the routing rule parsing module generates the corresponding error message and notifies the user.

[0020] Furthermore, in step S2-1, the routing rule parsing module checks whether the syntax unit conforms to the predefined syntax rules.

[0021] Furthermore, the logical structure in step S2-2 includes: identifying the conditions, actions, and priorities in the routing rules, and determining the logical relationships between the conditions, actions, and priorities.

[0022] Furthermore, the routing rule instructions in steps S2-5 include condition judgment statements, action execution statements, and priority control statements.

[0023] Furthermore, step S3 includes the following steps:

[0024] S3-1. The network interface module transmits the received network traffic to the routing processing module, which listens for network requests in real time.

[0025] S3-2. The routing processing module executes the corresponding routing actions based on the routing rule instructions parsed by the routing rule parsing module.

[0026] S3-3. The routing processing module feeds back the processing results to the network interface module;

[0027] S3-4. The routing processing module records relevant log information.

[0028] Furthermore, the routing actions in step S3-2 include: performing forwarding actions, sending traffic to the specified destination address, performing rejection actions, blocking traffic from passing, performing redirection, performing traffic shaping, and performing load balancing; the log information in step S3-4 includes: received traffic information and executed routing actions.

[0029] The beneficial effects of this invention are: it designs a gateway architecture that supports custom routing rules, including a routing rule configuration module, a routing rule parsing module, a routing processing module, and a network interface module. Through a flexible routing management mechanism, it improves the system's processing efficiency and stability, and can be widely applied to various scenarios requiring dynamic routing management.
