Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of network connection device and use the data packet transfer method of this device, refer to be applied to signal especially and be connected to network connection device and data packet transfer method thereof between a main frame and an external network.
Background technology
See also Fig. 1, the framework block schematic diagram commonly used of the personal computer inside of one tool network on-line function, its core is partly mainly by microprocessor 10, north bridge chips 11, South Bridge chip 12 constitutes, and internal memory 111 is connected in north bridge chips 11, can be connected to north bridge chips 11 by a peripheral assembly connecting interface bus (PCI Bus) as for 121 of network cards, and (the Media Access Controller of the medium access controller 1211 in the network card 121, be called for short MAC) in some configuration, then can directly be integrated in the South Bridge chip 12, be connected with external network as for 1212 of physical units (PHY).
And when media storage control unit 1211 carries out the transmission of data packet or receives, media storage control unit 1211 all can send hardware interrupt to microprocessor 10, makes microprocessor 10 put down present task and the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) of the driver of this media storage control unit 1211 of diversion treatments.
And the mode that the look-at-me of existing general media storage control unit 1211 produces can be divided into following several:
1. each data packet or fixing several data packets promptly send a hardware interrupt.
2. promptly send a hardware interrupt every one period set time.
3. take to mix the mode of above-mentioned the 1st kind and the 2nd kind.
When the delivery flow rate (Troughput) of network data package is very low, if the hardware interrupt that this media storage control unit 1211 of mode that uses the 1st kind is sent, can make operating system can in real time data packet be taken and discharge away the memory source that it originally took, but when delivery flow rate is very high, constantly the look-at-me that produces will cause the calculation resources of microprocessor 10 to be taken in a large number, make entire system usefulness have a greatly reduced quality, thus, its usefulness of look-at-me can become the utilization rate of very poor and microprocessor 10 can be very high.
In addition, the 2nd kind of employed mode look-at-me that it produced when flow is high can make operating system in real time data packet be taken away and discharge the memory source that it originally took, and the utilization rate of microprocessor 10 is not high yet, but when flow is low, because of it can't real time reaction produce look-at-me, the speed that can cause operating system that data packet is taken away is too slow.

When being 001, value of statistical indicant represents that this data packet is not last package, represent that when value of statistical indicant is 000 this data packet is last package, then all partial data packages of forming this data segment can be transferred to external network 21 or main frame 20 in regular turn.
Be depicted as the partial content of a transmission control protocol package (TCP Packet) as following table four, itself and Internet protocol packets (IP Packet) belong to the form of same type, and different is that it is to judge according to the code bit (Code Bits) in transmission control protocol shelves head (TCP Header) content whether this data packet is last package.So when last position of code bit represent when being 0 package not end of transmission be not last package, when last position of code bit is 1, represent package end of transmission, therefore all partial data packages of forming this data segment can be transferred to external network 21 or main frame 20 in regular turn.
Table four
| The destination address | Data type (0800) | A transmission control protocol shelves content |
And the steps flow chart synoptic diagram that is applied to the data packet transfer method of above-mentioned network connection device can be referring to shown in Figure 3, at first, receive data packet by medium access controller by main frame or external network transmitted, and this data packet is temporary in the impact damper, then, utilize the eigenwert determining device to read and analyze the destination address of this data packet, whether network the 3rd layer protocol content in data type and this data packet meets the condition of transfer, when this data packet meets, make main frame carry out a break in service, be transferred to external network or main frame in order to the data packet that operating system will be temporarily stored in the impact damper, as for, when if this data packet does not meet jump condition, then it is continued to be temporary in this impact damper, the data packet that detects follow-up reception up to this eigenwert determining device is that all the partial data packages that just will form this data segment are by being transferred to external network or main frame in the impact damper in regular turn when forming last data packet of a data segment together.
Certainly if the archives of data segment are too big, when causing the memory size of impact damper once to receive the data packet of complete segment, when the present invention must be filled with soon in the memory capacity of impact damper so, elder generation's generation one look-at-me will be stored in the data packet of impact damper and upload toward operating system earlier, so just there are enough memory headrooms to continue to store the data packet of follow-up reception, as for when producing look-at-me, then can decide according to the speed that medium access controller receives data packet.
Described above comprehensive, whether the present invention analyzes data packet with the 3rd layer protocol content of the network in the data packet is the last package of data segment or the package that need shift immediately, so that can produce look-at-me optimal opportunity, and then reduce the frequency that microprocessor is excessively taken, make that entire system usefulness can normal operation.Especially the inner server that possesses several network cards if the network card in this server takes mode of the present invention to produce look-at-me, does not only have too high hardware interrupts frequency, and the usefulness of server also can show and promotes.
Any equivalence that any those of ordinary skills are done under this invention's idea changes.Should belong to scope of patent protection of the present invention.
