Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of communication, in particular to a network traffic statistics reporting processing method, a network traffic statistics reporting processing device, a controller and a switch.
Background
As the existing networks have exposed more and more defects and the demand for Network performance is higher and higher, researchers have to add many complex functions to the router architecture, such as Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), multicast, differentiated services, traffic engineering, Network Address Translation (NAT), firewall, Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS), etc. This makes switching devices such as routers more and more bulky and performance-enhancing spaces smaller and smaller.
However, in contrast to the dilemma of the network field, the computer field has achieved a growing history. Looking at the development of the computer field in detail, it is not difficult to find out that the key is that the computer field finds a simple and available hardware bottom layer (x 86 instruction set). With such a common hardware infrastructure, there has been a rapid growth in software, both applications and operating systems. Many people now advocate redesigning computer network architectures believe that: networks can replicate the success of the computer world to solve all the problems encountered by today's networks. Under the guidance of this idea, future networks will certainly be such that: the underlying data paths (switches, routers) are "dumb, simple, minimal", and define a public Application Programming Interface (API) for flow tables that is open to the outside, while the controller is used to control the entire network. Future researchers can freely call the underlying API to program on the controller, thereby realizing the innovation of the network.
Based on the above concept, a Software Defined Network (SDN) appears, fig. 1 is an Open Flow (OF) protocol application architecture diagram in the related art, and fig. 2 is a schematic diagram OF a message Flow through an Open Flow processing pipeline in the related art, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, a core technology Open Flow protocol separates a Network device control plane (including an Open Flow Controller) from a data plane (including an Open Flow Logical Switch), thereby implementing flexible control OF Network traffic, and providing a good platform for innovation OF a core Network and applications.
The Open Flow protocol is a standard for describing information used for interaction between a controller and a switch, and an interface standard of the controller and the switch. The core part of the protocol is a set of information structures for the Open Flow protocol. Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of message processing based on an Open Flow table in the related art, as shown in fig. 3, an entry Open Flow table or a pipeline formed by cascading a plurality of Flow tables arranged is used to configure a switch forwarding path, and as shown in table 1, table 1 is an Open Flow table in the related art, and as shown in table 1, the Flow table entry is composed of the following fields such as a matching field, a counter, and an instruction set:
TABLE 1
Match Fields | Priority | Counters | Instructions | Timeouts | Cookie |
Wherein, the matching Fields (Match Fields) are input keywords for message matching and are used for matching a flow table entry; counters (Counters) are various statistical information for management; instruction sets (Instructions) refer to operation Instructions on messages, and include discarding, forwarding messages to a specified port, setting a field value of a header of a message, adding an encapsulation label, and the like. An Action Set (Action Set) is associated with each packet, which is passed between the multiple flow tables of the pipe and modified by instructions of the respective flow tables until the end of the pipe processing, forming a final Action Set.
Open Flow networks support interfaces, Flow table entries (Flow Entry), Group table entries (Group), measurement table entries (Meter), and Queue traffic statistics (Queue) (e.g., number of messages processed and number of bytes). Related Flow Statistics messages are defined in the OpenFlow protocol, such as Individual Flow Statistics, Aggregate Flow Statistics, Group Statistics, Meter Statistics, Queue Statistics, etc. These messages are all initiated by the controller actively to the switch in a Multipart message requesting a query. This type of polling is suitable when the controller or APP polls the controller at low frequencies. When the controller needs to collect Open Flow network topology and count network Flow data as near as possible in real time, so that the controller can adjust a Flow table path in time according to the heat of a network local node, a link or a Flow table entry and perform load balancing, if the controller is also required to query Flow statistics data of corresponding Flow table entries, group table entries, measurement table entries, interfaces and queues in a high-frequency large-scale manner, heavy pressure is exerted on the controller, because in the query process, the controller may need to use a timer for polling and need to process two messages (request and response) to complete data extraction of one statistic point.
Therefore, the way of inquiring the network traffic statistic data by the controller in the related art causes a heavy burden to the controller, and affects the network performance.

The message is used for reporting the statistical data to the OF controller by the OFLS or aiming at the execution state OF the statistical strategy issued by the OF controller.
Optionally, a Statistics Report message is directly added to the asynchronous message of the OpenFlow protocol for executing the asynchronous Multipart Report message.
