In order to solve the problem of load balancing of multiple vbars in a resource pool, embodiments below of the present application provide a traffic scheduling method and a traffic scheduling apparatus to which the method may be applied.
As shown in fig. 2, a metropolitan area network networking architecture according to an embodiment of the present invention mainly includes: a Service Organizer (SO), a plurality of BRAS network elements in a resource pool, an OpenFlow switch, a POP switch, and an OLT. A client (not shown in fig. 2) accesses a plurality of BRAS network elements in a resource pool via an OLT, a POP switch, and an OpenFlow switch, and the OpenFlow switch is connected to a service orchestrator through an OpenFlow protocol control channel, where the OpenFlow protocol control channel includes: a Packet In (message up) channel and a Packet Out (message down) channel. In an actual implementation process, the OpenFlow switch may also be integrated into a POP switch.
The functions of a plurality of BRAS network elements contained in the resource pool are equivalent, and can be mutually backed up, and the BRAS network elements can be physical BRAS equipment, and also can be vBRAS (virtual BRAS) operated on a general x86 server; the service orchestrator is responsible for creating and deploying BRAS network elements in the resource pool, and a management channel (not shown in fig. 2) is established between the service orchestrator and each BRAS network element, and may be, for example, a netconf (configuration management) channel, an SNMP (simple network management protocol) channel, or another proprietary protocol channel.
Based on the networking architecture shown in fig. 2, in the embodiment of the present application, a traffic scheduling method executed by a service orchestrator is shown in fig. 3, and includes the following steps:
step S101, obtaining the corresponding relation between the MAC address of each BRAS network element in a plurality of BRAS network elements and the port connected with the BRAS network element on the OpenFlow switch;
in order to enable the service orchestrator to obtain the MAC address of the BRAS network element and the port of the OpenFlow switch to which the BRAS network element is connected, in this embodiment of the application, the BRAS network element sends a notification message to the OpenFlow switch after being started, where a source MAC address of the notification message is the MAC address of the BRAS network element. After receiving the notification message, the OpenFlow switch reports the notification message and the port of the OpenFlow switch receiving the notification message to the service orchestrator through a Packet In channel. Thus, in step S101, after receiving the notification message reported by the OpenFlow switch and the port of the OpenFlow switch receiving the notification message, the service orchestrator may record the correspondence between the source MAC address of the notification message and the port, so as to obtain the correspondence between the MAC address of the BRAS network element and the port of the OpenFlow switch connected to the BRAS network element.
The OpenFlow switch may report the received notification message to the service orchestrator according to a first flow entry issued by the service orchestrator.
In an actual implementation process, the notification message may specifically be an RARP (reverse address resolution protocol) message, and the MAC address of the BRAS network element is specifically an MAC address of a downlink port of the BRAS network element connected to an OpenFlow switch.
In addition, in step S101, the service orchestrator may further obtain the MAC address of the BRAS network element from the BRAS network element through the management channel, and record a corresponding relationship between the ID of the BRAS network element and the obtained MAC address, so as to obtain a corresponding relationship between the ID of the BRAS network element and the MAC address of the BRAS network element.
Step S102, obtaining the load information of each BRAS network element in the plurality of BRAS network elements;
specifically, in step S102, the service orchestrator may periodically obtain load information of each BRAS network element through the management channel, and record a corresponding relationship between an ID of a BRAS network element and the obtained load information of the BRAS network element. The obtained load information may be one or more combinations, for example, one or more combinations of load information such as the number of broadband users carried by the BRAS network element, the CPU (central processing unit) resource utilization rate of the BRAS network element, the memory utilization rate of the BRAS network element, and the uplink and downlink data traffic of the BRAS network element are obtained.
Step S103, after receiving an access initiation message reported by the OpenFlow switch, selecting a target BRAS network element with the minimum load from a plurality of BRAS network elements according to the obtained load information, and searching the MAC address of the target BRAS network element and a target port connected with the target BRAS network element on the OpenFlow switch;
in order to enable the OpenFlow switch to report the access initiation message sent by the client, the service orchestrator may issue a second flow entry to the OpenFlow switch In advance, so that after receiving the access initiation message sent by the client, the OpenFlow switch reports the access initiation message to the service orchestrator through a Packet In channel according to the second flow entry. Wherein, the access initiating message is a broadcast message with a target MAC address of full F.
In step S103, after receiving the access initiation packet, the service orchestrator searches for an ID of a target BRAS network element with the smallest load from the recorded correspondence between the ID of the BRAS network element and the load information, then searches for an MAC address of the target BRAS network element from the recorded correspondence between the ID of the BRAS network element and the MAC address, and finally searches for a target port of the OpenFlow switch, to which the target BRAS network element is connected, from the recorded correspondence between the MAC address of the BRAS network element and a port of the OpenFlow switch, to which the BRAS network element is connected.
And step S104, sending the searched MAC address and the target port to an OpenFlow switch, so that the OpenFlow switch replaces the target MAC address of the access initiating message with the MAC address and then unicasts the MAC address to a target BRAS network element through the target port. The target BRAS network element responds to the access initiating message after receiving the access initiating message, and subsequently, the client establishes a session with the target BRAS network element.
The service orchestrator may send the found MAC address and target port to the OpenFlow switch through the Packet Out channel, so that the OpenFlow switch may replace the destination MAC (media access control) address of the access initiation Packet with the MAC address of the target BRAS network element, and then send the access initiation Packet to the target BRAS network element through the target port. Subsequently, the client establishes a session with the target BRAS network element and carries a corresponding data stream.
In the method of the embodiment of the present application, when the PPPoE access mode is adopted, the access initiation packet is a packet for initiating PPPoE session establishment, for example, a PADI packet; when an IPoE (Internet Protocol over ethernet, Internet Protocol based on ethernet) access mode is adopted, the access initiation message is a message for initiating IPoE session establishment, for example, a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Discover message.
By the method shown in fig. 3, after receiving an access initiation message sent by a client, the OpenFlow switch reports the access initiation message to a service orchestrator first, instead of broadcasting the access initiation message to all BRAS network elements in a resource pool, and after receiving the access initiation message, the service orchestrator may select a target BRAS network element with the smallest load according to a pre-obtained MAC address of the BRAS network element, load information, and a corresponding relationship between ports on the OpenFlow switch and the BRAS network element, find out a MAC address of the target BRAS network element, and find out a target port on the OpenFlow switch and the target port connected to the target BRAS network element, and then send the found MAC address and the target port to the OpenFlow switch, so that the OpenFlow switch replaces the target MAC address of the access initiation message with the found MAC address, and then sends the target port to the target BRAS network element through a target unicast port, so that the target BRAS network element responds to the access initiation message, and establishing a session with the client, thereby realizing load balance among the BRAS network elements in the resource pool by scheduling the traffic to the BRAS network element with the minimum load for bearing.
