Abstract:
This application provides a data stream sending method, and the method includes: sending, by a first device, a request packet to a second device; sending, by the first device, a data stream to the second device after the first device sends the request packet and before the first device receives the response packet sent by the second device; and receiving, by the first device, the response packet that is sent by the second device and that is in response to the request packet.
Abstract:
A service packet sending method and device include receiving, by a first network device, a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) packet from a second network device, where the TCP packet includes a service identifier, obtaining, by the first network device, based on the service identifier, a priority of a service, obtaining a TCP window based on the priority of the service, sending a TCP acknowledgement (ACK) packet including the TCP window to the second network device to enable the second network device to calculate a size of a service packet to be sent to the first network device.
Abstract:
This application discloses a flow entry generating method and apparatus. The method includes: receiving a service path establishment request, where the service path establishment request includes a constraint, a source device, and a target device; finding, in a data transmission network according to a cross-layer information model, a service path that meets the constraint and is from the source device to the target device, where the cross-layer information model is a model that describes, at a same layer, an overall topology relationship between an IP layer and an optical layer; and generating a respective corresponding flow entry for each forwarding device in the service path, and sending the flow entry to a corresponding forwarding device. This application can greatly reduce time complexity of computing the service path, and improve efficiency of computing the service path, thereby improving efficiency of generating a flow entry.

Abstract:
The application provides a scheduling method, apparatus and system. A controller receives scheduling request information sent by a content source. The scheduling request information includes a constraint condition of non-real-time traffic transmission, and the constraint condition includes: information about a first address and information about a second address. A first forwarding path and a sending time for sending the traffic are determined according to the information about the first address, the information about the second address, and statistical information about network traffic. The controller sends a first message that includes a sending rate to the content source at the sending time, and the traffic is sent through the first forwarding path.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a network transaction control method. The network transaction control method includes: sending, by a network controller, according to a network transaction, an operation set package including at least one operation instruction to at least two forwarding devices, where: the operation set package includes an atomic operation identifier; receiving an execution status message fed back by each forwarding device; and if it is determined, according to each execution status message, that an operation result of any operation instruction executed by any forwarding device is: execution failed, separately sending a rollback control instruction including the atomic operation identifier to each forwarding device for which no execution failure is determined, so as to instruct each forwarding device to restore to a state that is prior to execution of each operation instruction.
Abstract:
A method for sending a connection establishment request is provided, comprising: sending a parameter requesting message to a configuration server from an OpenFlow switch for obtaining connection parameters of an OpenFlow controller; receiving by the OpenFlow switch an Internet Protocol (IP) address and a set of OpenFlow controller connection parameters sent from the configuration server, the set of connection parameters comprising at least connection parameters of a first OpenFlow controller; sending a connection establishment request message to the first OpenFlow controller from the OpenFlow switch according to the IP address and the connection parameter of the first OpenFlow controller. An OpenFlow switch, a configuration server and a system for sending a connection establishment request are also provided. With the solutions provided in embodiments of the disclosure, the automatic connection establishment between the OpenFlow switch and the OpenFlow controller can be realized.
