Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of network communication technology, and specifically relates to a network slicing implementation method, system, device and readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] The resource reservation technology of network slicing is the key to providing differentiated SLA guarantees for network slicing solutions. Resource reservation technology divides the forwarding resources in the physical network into multiple isolated resources, which are provided to different network slices to ensure that there are available resources in the network slice to meet business needs, while avoiding or controlling resource competition and preemption between different network slices. Commonly used resource reservation technologies in network slicing solutions include: FlexE interface, channelized sub-interface, and slice channel.

[0003] The current network slice queue model implements channelized sub-interfaces, slice channels, and QoS queues by multiplexing HQoS technology (at least 3 levels of scheduling). FlexE interfaces rely on hardware ports to support FlexE features, and channelized sub-interfaces and slice channels rely on chips to support HQoS features, which have high hardware requirements and increase the cost of feature support.

[0004] Furthermore, if the physical ports are aggregated into an aggregate port, a scheduling strategy for the aggregate port to each physical port needs to be added for the aggregate port, further increasing the scheduling burden of the hardware. Therefore, the usability of network slicing for aggregate ports in the prior art is poor. Due to hardware constraints, aggregate ports usually do not support network slicing features.

[0005] In view of the above technical problems, it is necessary to provide an improved network slicing implementation strategy.

[0006] The information disclosed in this background technology section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the overall background of the invention and should not be regarded as an acknowledgment or any form of suggestion that the information constitutes the prior art already known to a person skilled in the art. Summary of the invention

[0013] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the method further comprises:

[0014] The committed bandwidth value of the slice channel is less than or equal to the peak bandwidth value of the same slice channel;

[0015] The sum of the peak bandwidth values ​​of the slice channels corresponding to the expected channelized sub-interface is equal to the expected channelized sub-interface bandwidth.

[0016] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the method further comprises:

[0017] Select a network layer interface from the slice channel corresponding to the desired channelized sub-interface;

[0018] Calculate the sum of the peak bandwidths of the slice channels of the non-network layer interface corresponding to the desired channelized sub-interface;

[0019] The peak bandwidth value of the network layer interface is configured to be the difference between the bandwidth value of the expected channelized sub-interface and the sum.

[0020] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the method further comprises:

[0021] If the physical ports are aggregated into an aggregate port, the bandwidth weight of each physical port under the aggregate port is obtained;

[0022] In response to the channelized sub-interface bandwidth configured by the user, based on the bandwidth weight of the physical port, the expected channelized sub-interface bandwidth of each physical port configured under the aggregation port is calculated;

[0023] Based on the expected channelized sub-interface bandwidth of each physical port, the committed bandwidth value and the peak bandwidth value of each slice channel are configured.

[0024] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, configuring the committed bandwidth value and the peak bandwidth value of each slice channel includes:

[0026] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, configuring the committed bandwidth value and the peak bandwidth value of each slice channel includes:

[0027] Based on the committed bandwidth value of the slice channel corresponding to the desired channelized sub-interface under the aggregation port configured by the user, and the weight of each physical port of the aggregation and the aggregation port, configure the committed bandwidth value of each slice channel;

[0028] The peak bandwidth value of the slice channel corresponding to the desired channelized sub-interface under the aggregation port configured by the user is used as the peak bandwidth value of each slice channel.

[0029] In one or more implementations of the present invention, the preset scheduling algorithm is a weighted deficit round-robin scheduling algorithm.

[0030] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a network slicing implementation system, comprising:

[0042] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0043] Unless explicitly stated otherwise, throughout the specification and claims, the term “comprise” or variations such as “include” or “comprising”, etc., will be understood to include the stated elements or components but not to exclude other elements or components.

[0044] In one technical solution, there is a method for implementing network slicing, such as Figure 1 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the transmission process of slice messages in a specific embodiment of the technical solution. The slice messages first enter the Qos queue and perform Qos queue shaping based on a preset scheduling algorithm; then each shaped Qos queue is scheduled to the channelized sub-interface as a member of the member group corresponding to the slice channel. After the channelized sub-interface is shaped, the slice messages are sent to the physical port in sequence and port shaping is performed.

[0045] It can be seen that under this technical solution, the network slice queue model adopts a multi-level architecture, and traffic needs to be scheduled at each level. Specifically, it includes: scheduling from physical port to channelized sub-interface, scheduling from channelized sub-interface to slice channel, and scheduling from slice channel to Qos queue. For aggregated ports, it also includes scheduling from aggregated ports to physical ports. Therefore, this technical solution will inevitably have the problems of high hardware requirements and high scheduling costs.

[0046] The inventor of the present invention discovered the main shortcomings of the prior art and proposed a new technical implementation idea based on the shortcomings of the technical solution: by calculating the bandwidth through the CPU based on the conventional QoS characteristics of the chip, the slice channel replaces the function of the channelized sub-interface to reduce the scheduling level. By combining software and hardware, the network slicing function is jointly packaged, which greatly increases the universality of the network slicing solution without reducing the user experience.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for implementing network slicing in one embodiment of the present invention. The method for implementing network slicing specifically includes the following steps:

[0048] S201: creating multiple slice channels on a physical port, and establishing a mapping relationship between each slice channel and a channelized sub-interface that a user wants to create;

[0049] It should be noted that network slicing is a new type of network architecture that provides multiple logical networks on the same shared network infrastructure, each of which serves a specific business type or industry user. Each network slice can flexibly define its own logical topology, SLA requirements, reliability and security level to meet the differentiated needs of different businesses, industries or users.

[0050] The resource reservation technology of network slicing is the key to providing differentiated SLA guarantees for network slicing solutions. Commonly used resource reservation technologies in network slicing solutions include but are not limited to: Flex channel, channelized sub-interfaces, etc.

[0051] Among them, a channelized sub-interface refers to a sub-interface of an Ethernet physical port with the channelization function enabled. By carrying different types of services through different channelized sub-interfaces and configuring bandwidth based on the channelized sub-interfaces, strict bandwidth isolation between different channelized sub-interfaces on the same physical interface is achieved, solving the problem of services between different sub-interfaces occupying each other's bandwidth. Compared with channelized sub-interfaces, Flex-channel has no sub-interface model and is simpler to configure. Flex-channel can support M-level bandwidth allocation granularity, thereby meeting the slice bandwidth requirements of enterprise users, and is more suitable for scenarios where network slices are created quickly on demand.

[0052] In one technical solution, Flex-channe and channelized sub-interfaces are used together. Channelized sub-interfaces can be used to provide larger granularity slice resource reservation for specific industries or business types, and Flex-channel can be used to further divide fine-grained slice resources for different enterprise users within the industry or business type slices, and through hierarchical scheduling of network slices, flexible and refined resource management can be achieved.

[0053] It is understandable that the function of the channelized sub-interface will cause more load pressure during the implementation process. Therefore, in order to simplify the load pressure of traffic scheduling in network slicing, the solution's high reliance on multi-level QoS scheduling is reduced. In one embodiment of the present invention, in order to maintain the user experience on the user side, the user still sets the expected channelized sub-interface bandwidth. However, in fact, the channelized sub-interface is cancelled, and the slice channel is directly set on the physical port. The channelized sub-interface function is packaged out through software to realize the network slicing function. On the other hand, in order to maintain the network slicing function without being affected, a mapping relationship between each of the slice channels and the channelized sub-interface that the user expects to create can be established.

[0054] It is understandable that the user can configure multiple channelized sub-interfaces, and the same channelized sub-interface can correspond to one or more slice channels. Therefore, the mapping relationship between the aforementioned slice channels and the channelized sub-interfaces that the user wants to create is the premise for realizing the channelized sub-interface function.

[0055] S202: In response to each expected channelized sub-interface bandwidth configured by the user, configure a committed bandwidth value and a peak bandwidth value of each slice channel;

[0056] In network slicing, the role of channelized sub-interfaces is to ensure that sub-interfaces have exclusive bandwidth resources, thereby preventing bandwidth resources from being preempted. Slice channels directly connected to physical ports can be used to monopolize bandwidth by setting committed bandwidth values ​​and peak bandwidth values.

[0057] The committed information rate refers to the rate at which packets can pass through per second, which is also the minimum bandwidth value of the corresponding interface. The peak information rate refers to the maximum rate at which packets are allowed to be transmitted or forwarded.

[0058] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, the slice channel bandwidth is configured through the QoS Shape function, and the following multiple bandwidth modes can be combined through the committed bandwidth value and peak bandwidth value parameters of QoSShape. First, if the committed bandwidth value is 0, the bandwidth of the slice channel can be shared, following the "first come, first served" principle, and the value of the shared bandwidth is the value of the peak bandwidth; second, if the committed bandwidth value is equal to the peak bandwidth value, the bandwidth of the slice channel is exclusive to itself, and others are not allowed to use it even if there is surplus bandwidth. The size of the exclusive bandwidth is equal to the value of the committed bandwidth or the value of the peak bandwidth at this time; third, if the committed bandwidth value and the peak bandwidth value are both not 0, and the committed bandwidth value is less than the peak bandwidth value, then the bandwidth of the committed bandwidth value is exclusive to the slice channel, and the bandwidth of the difference between the peak bandwidth value and the committed bandwidth value is the shared bandwidth.

[0059] Preferably, in order to realize the function of the channelized sub-interface expected by the user and retain part of the shared bandwidth while maintaining the exclusive bandwidth, in one embodiment of the present invention, the committed bandwidth value of the slice channel is less than or equal to the peak bandwidth value of the same slice channel; the sum of the peak bandwidth values ​​of each of the slice channels corresponding to the expected channelized sub-interface is equal to the expected channelized sub-interface bandwidth.

[0060] For example, the maximum bandwidth value of the physical port is 30G, the user configures the bandwidth value of channelized sub-interface 1 to be 10G, and the bandwidth value of channelized sub-interface 2 to be 15G. A total of 4 slice channels are created on the physical port side to perform the functions of the channelized sub-interface. The mapping relationship is established so that slice channel 1 and slice channel 2 correspond to the desired channelized sub-interface 1; slice channel 3 and slice channel 4 correspond to the desired channelized sub-interface 2. Based on the above-mentioned exclusive bandwidth function implementation, when defining slice channel 1 and slice channel 2, it is necessary to ensure that the sum of the corresponding peak bandwidths is equal to 10G (the bandwidth value of channelized sub-interface 1); slice channel 3 and slice channel 4 must ensure that the sum of the corresponding peak bandwidths is equal to 15G (the bandwidth value of channelized sub-interface 2).

[0061] It is understandable that the bandwidth configuration of the slice channel can be set based on the user end, or it can be evenly distributed or weighted based on a preset algorithm through software, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit this.

[0062] It should be noted that the technical solution of the present invention also includes: selecting a network layer interface from the slice channel corresponding to the expected channelized sub-interface; calculating the sum of the peak bandwidths of the slice channels of the non-network layer interfaces corresponding to the expected channelized sub-interface; and configuring the peak bandwidth value of the network layer interface to be the difference between the bandwidth value of the expected channelized sub-interface and the sum.

[0063] When the user terminal configures the bandwidth of the slice channels one by one, it is possible that the sum of the peak bandwidths of the final slice channels is less than the bandwidth of the channelized sub-interface. At this time, since the maximum transmission rate of the slice channel is the corresponding peak bandwidth during data transmission, part of the bandwidth of the channel sub-interface is wasted. Therefore, the present invention adopts the technical solution described in the above embodiment to pre-select the corresponding network layer interface. The user terminal does not participate in the bandwidth configuration of the slice channel corresponding to the network layer interface. After the bandwidth configuration of other slice channels is completed, the peak bandwidth of the slice channel corresponding to the network layer interface is configured based on the remaining bandwidth value of the expected channelized sub-interface.

[0064] For example, following the above specific embodiment, for the expected channelized sub-interface 1, the slice channel 2 is selected as the network layer interface. Then the user terminal only needs to configure the bandwidth value of the slice channel 1. If the peak bandwidth of the slice channel 1 is configured to be 7G, the software sets the peak bandwidth of the slice channel 2 corresponding to the network layer interface to 3G, so that the bandwidth value of the expected channelized sub-interface 1 is not wasted.

[0065] S203: Establish member groups based on each slice channel, and perform traffic scheduling on the QoS queues in each member group based on a preset scheduling algorithm.

[0066] It is understandable that each slice channel will contain multiple Qos queues. In the chip, the slice channel corresponds to a member group, and the Qos queue is a member of the corresponding member group. The method for scheduling traffic for the Qos queues in each of the member groups may include but is not limited to: strict priority scheduling (Strict Priority), round-robin scheduling (Round Robin), weighted round-robin scheduling (Weighted Round Robin), etc. The embodiment of the present invention does not limit the choice of scheduling method. The scheduling algorithm can be selected based on the needs of the specific implementation scenario. In order to further simplify the implementation method of the network slicing solution, it is preferred to use a weighted deficit round-robin scheduling algorithm (Weighted Deficit Round Robin).

[0067] The use of link aggregation technology in the prior art will lead to the addition of a new level of scheduling, that is, the scheduling process from the aggregation port to the physical port, which makes the implementation process of network slicing become at least 4 levels of traffic scheduling, which is too complicated and difficult to apply. Therefore, in another embodiment of the present invention, the network slicing implementation method provided by the present invention can be further applied to the aggregation port (Linkagg port).

[0068] It should be noted that link aggregation technology can achieve the purpose of increasing link bandwidth by bundling multiple physical interfaces into one logical interface without hardware upgrade. While achieving the purpose of increasing device bandwidth, link aggregation uses a backup link mechanism to effectively improve the reliability of links between devices, enhance network availability, and point out load sharing. The bandwidth value of physical ports aggregated in the same Linkagg port is fixed.

[0069] In an exemplary embodiment, if the physical ports are aggregated into an aggregation port, the bandwidth weights of the various physical ports under the aggregation port are obtained; in response to the channelized sub-interface bandwidth configured by the user, based on the bandwidth weights of the physical ports, the expected channelized sub-interface bandwidth of each physical port configured under the aggregation port is calculated; based on the expected channelized sub-interface bandwidth of each physical port, the committed bandwidth value and the peak bandwidth value of each slice channel are configured.

[0070] It should be noted that the Linkagg port bandwidth is equal to the total bandwidth of all UP physical ports under the Linkagg port. When setting the channelized sub-interface bandwidth, slice channel bandwidth, and QoS queue bandwidth for the Linkagg port, you can also convert it into the CPU splitting and calculating according to the weight of the UP member ports, and then configure the channelized sub-interface bandwidth, slice channel bandwidth, and QoS queue bandwidth of each UP member port.

[0071] For example, in one embodiment, a total of four physical ports are aggregated at the Linkagg port, namely physical port 1, physical port 2, physical port 3 and physical port 4. The bandwidth value of each physical port is 10G, and the weight ratio is 1:1:2:1. Before configuring the bandwidth of each desired channelized sub-interface, it is necessary to first determine the status of each port, ignore the physical port in the DOWN state, and only perform subsequent bandwidth allocation operations on the port in the UP state. Among them, if physical port 4 is in the DOWN state, only physical port 1, physical port 2 and physical port 3 are configured for bandwidth.

[0072] Specifically, in order to cope with a variety of different implementation scenarios, the present invention provides two different expected channelized sub-interface bandwidth configuration strategies.

[0073] In an exemplary embodiment, the committed bandwidth value and peak bandwidth value of each slice channel are configured based on the committed bandwidth value and peak bandwidth value of the slice channel corresponding to the expected channelized sub-interface under the user-configured aggregation port, and the weights of each physical port aggregated on the aggregation port.

[0074] Continuing with the previous specific embodiment, the bandwidth configuration on the user side specifically includes: configuring a channelized sub-interface with a bandwidth of 20G; a slice channel 1 with a committed bandwidth value of 6G and a peak bandwidth value of 6G; a slice channel 2 with a committed bandwidth value of 4G and a peak bandwidth value of 10G. It can be understood that the user terminal side is not aware of the status of each physical port under the corresponding aggregation port. After configuring a desired channelized sub-interface and the corresponding slice channel 1 and slice channel 2, it means that each physical port aggregated under the aggregation port creates a slice channel 1 and a slice channel 2 corresponding to the desired channelized sub-interface.

[0075] Since the weight ratio of the physical ports in the UP state is 1:1:2. Therefore, the peak bandwidth of the expected channelized sub-interface on each physical port is allocated based on the weight of the channelized sub-interface bandwidth on the aggregation port set by the user, which are 5G, 5G, and 10G respectively. Furthermore, the slice channel on each physical port is allocated the committed bandwidth value and peak bandwidth value of the slice channel configured by the user based on the weight of the physical port. Taking physical port 1 as an example, slice channel 1 with a committed bandwidth of 1.5G and a peak bandwidth of 1.5G and slice channel 2 with a committed bandwidth of 1G and a peak bandwidth of 2.5G are created on it.

[0076] Based on this implementation, network slicing is implemented under the aggregated port, and the bandwidth value is split according to the weight ratio of the physical port. It is suitable for scenarios with uniform traffic, and the bandwidth of the slice channel can be guaranteed according to the configuration.

[0077] It should be noted that the above embodiment may fail to guarantee the bandwidth of the slice channel when the Linkagg port is unevenly loaded. For example, when all the traffic of slice channel 1 corresponding to the aggregation port is polarized only from physical port 1, the actual bandwidth of slice channel 1 is consistent with the bandwidth of slice channel 1 corresponding to physical port 1, which becomes Cir=1.5G, Pir=1.5G, which is inconsistent with the user's expected Cir=6G, Pir=6G. Therefore, in order to cope with the use scenario of uneven load, the embodiment of the present invention proposes another implementation method as follows.

[0078] In another exemplary embodiment, the committed bandwidth value of each slice channel is configured based on the committed bandwidth value of the slice channel corresponding to the expected channelized sub-interface under the user-configured aggregation port, and the weights of the aggregation and each physical port of the aggregation port; the peak bandwidth value of the slice channel corresponding to the expected channelized sub-interface under the user-configured aggregation port is used as the peak bandwidth value of each corresponding slice channel.

[0079] This embodiment still adopts the method of splitting bandwidth based on weights and then configuring committed bandwidth. However, for peak bandwidth, in this implementation mode, it is directly issued according to the user configured value, that is, over-allocation is allowed.

[0080] In the above specific embodiment, if this implementation is adopted, the peak bandwidth of the expected channelized sub-interface corresponding to each physical port is 20G. Further, taking physical port 1 as an example, the peak bandwidth of slice channel 1 created thereon is 6G, and the committed bandwidth is 1.5G; the peak bandwidth of slice channel 2 is 10G, and the committed bandwidth is 1G. At this time, even if the traffic of the slice channel is fully polarized, the user's bandwidth can still be guaranteed, avoiding data transmission congestion, data loss and other problems. It can be seen that this solution is suitable for scenarios with uneven traffic.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 3 As shown, based on the same inventive concept as the aforementioned network slicing implementation method, an embodiment of the present invention provides a network slicing implementation system 300, which includes: a creation module 301, a configuration module 302, and a scheduling module 303.

[0082] Specifically, the creation module 301 is used to create multiple slice channels on the physical port and establish a mapping relationship between each slice channel and the channelized sub-interface that the user expects to create; the configuration module 302 is used to configure the committed bandwidth value and the peak bandwidth value of each slice channel in response to the bandwidth of each expected channelized sub-interface configured by the user; the scheduling module 303 is used to establish a member group based on each slice channel, and perform traffic scheduling on the QoS queues in each member group based on a preset scheduling algorithm.
