摘要:
A switch system realizes extension of the number of entries of an open flow table by using tables in a switch as existing resources. Specifically, the switch configures an open flow table by logically combining a plurality of tables, each of which defines processing to a given packet, based on a condition and a processing content defined in each table. The switch refers to the open flow table to determine the processing content to a reception packet. The switch executes the processing of the reception packet based on the determined processing content.

A first packet forwarding device is able to form a redundancy group with another packet forwarding device, and is configured to switch master and backup operation with the another packet forwarding device in a complementary manner. The first packet forwarding device is further configured to switch a first operation mode and a second operation mode in the backup operation, the first operation mode monitoring a control packet transmitted regarding the redundancy group from the another packet forwarding device that performs the master operation, and the second operation mode not monitoring the control packet. A proxy device is configured to monitor the control packet on behalf of the first packet forwarding device when the first packet forwarding device is in the second operation mode, and to control switching between the first and second operation modes of the first packet forwarding device based on monitor result of the control packet.

A layer 3 switch device of a first packet system in which a first packet in the communication flow is sent via a packet transfer portion to a CPU for retrieving the header information, including a plurality of first shaper queues provided corresponding to a plurality of virtual routers and performing a flow rate control for the first packet from the packet transfer portion to the CPU, a second shaper queue for performing a flow rate control for the first packet of which the flow rate is controlled in the plurality of first shaper queues, and a control portion of dynamically controlling the flow rate for the second shaper queue into the CPU in accordance with a load state in the CPU.

摘要:
A switch system allows free change of a grain degree of monitoring without being conscious of a routing control. For example, a control protocol of a transmitter is used based on the open flow (OpenFlow) technique to control the monitoring function of the switch system, and the centralized control of the monitoring can be realized as the whole network and the monitoring result is reflected on the routing control. Here, the switch has a flow table for packet transfer and a flow table for monitoring. Both of the tables are searched to one packet and a multi-hit operation is performed to execute the operation of each of the entries. That is, both the tables are searched and the packet is transferred according to corresponding flow entries.
