Abstract:
A SDN controller receives a forwarding request message including a header portion of a layer-2packet. The SDN controller determines whether a source host and a destination host of the layer-2packet are in the same virtual network according to a virtual network table.
Abstract:
A forwarding flow table request sent by a host device when the host device fails to find a matching forwarding flow table entry for a data packet to be forwarded is received, when a destination MAC address of the data packet is the global virtual MAC address, a forwarding flow table entry is generated according to the global port table; the forwarding flow table entry includes an operation indication of replacing the destination MAC address of the data packet with the matching MAC address found in the global port table; and the forwarding flow table entry is sent to the host device, so that the host device may forward a data packet matching the forwarding flow table entry.
Abstract:
According to an example, a VEPA switch may receive a message and a determination may be made as to whether a Datapath of the VEPA switch includes a flow table entry for forwarding the message. In response to a determination that the VEPA switch does not include a flow table entry for forwarding the message, the message may be forwarded to a SDN controller through a SDN protocol that is to construct the flow table entry for forwarding the message according to information contained in the message, in which the constructed flow table entry identifies an egress port of the VEPA switch for forwarding the message. The VEPA switch may also obtain the constructed flow table entry from the SDN controller and forward the message via the egress port identified in the obtained flow table entry.
Abstract:
A verification method or apparatus applied in a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) includes learning an Internet Protocol (IP) address assigned to a station; sending the IP address to a managing device that is managing the access device and receiving, from the managing device, a determination of whether the IP address is used by another station; and verifying a data packet sent by the station by using an IP address that is not used by another station as reported by the managing device.
Abstract:
A controller of a virtual switch system receives an uplink packet forwarded by a SDN switch hosted on a server from a VM (virtual machine) hosted on the server. The controller determines an outgoing interface from at least two uplink interfaces on the SDN switch respectively corresponding to aggregated member ports of a physical switch by using an aggregation algorithm according to the uplink packet. The controller generates a first flow table entry and sends the first flow table entry to the SDN switch, wherein the first flow table entry is to instruct the SDN switch to forward a received uplink packet to the physical switch through the outgoing interface.
Abstract:
A load balancing method by a load balancing device providing a load balancing service to a group of servers. A service access request message sent by a client terminal is received at the load balancing device, wherein a source Internet Protocol address of the request message is an Internet Protocol address of the client terminal of a first protocol version. A server is selected from the group of servers to send the request message. A determination is made as to whether the first protocol version is same as a second protocol version of an IP address of the selected server. If determination is affirmative, the request message is sent to the selected server. Otherwise, network address translation is performed to replace the source Internet Protocol address of the request message with an Internet Protocol address of the second protocol version configured on an interface between the load balancing device and the group of servers, and the request message is sent to the selected server.
Abstract:
Examples of the present disclosure may provide a packet forwarding method. A first OVS may receive an original packet, which may be destined for a second VM on a second OVS, from a first VM. The first OVS may add a VxLAN packet header to the original packet at a VxLAN port to generate a VxLAN packet according to VxLAN packet address information in an FT entry, which may be obtained from an SDN controller. The first OVS may send out the VxLAN packet via a tunnel egress port designated by the FT entry.
Abstract:
Examples of the present disclosure provide a method of migrating a virtual machine. In response to receiving information of a newly added port, a first controller within a software defined network may search for a matching destination Internet protocol address within a first neighbor relationship table when an IP address contained in the information of the newly added port is taken as a source IP address. The first controller may send flow tables relating to the matching destination IP address to a destination virtual switching device of a migrated virtual machine, and update flow tables stored in virtual switching devices managed by the first controller. The first controller may send a migration success message including the information of the newly added port to a second controller, to enable the second controller to update flow tables stored in virtual switching devices managed by the second controller.
Abstract:
A distributed virtual switch system comprises a controller and multiple servers. Each server is configured with a virtual SDN switch and at least one VM. Each VM is connected with an external physical switch via the SDN switch. The controller obtains interface information of a switch logic interface corresponding to a VM, adds an entry comprising the interface information into a local global interface management table. The interface information includes a global unique identifier of the switch logic interface corresponding to the VM, a switch identifier of an SDN switch corresponding to the switch logic interface, and a local port identifier of the SDN switch corresponding to the switch logic interface. The controller manages each VM connected with each SDN switch according to the local global interface management table.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for processing packets in an IPv6 network. A CPE (Customer-Premises Equipment) replaces source address information in an IP packet with external address information after receiving the IP packet from a user terminal, stores a mapping relation between the source address information and the external address information; converts the IP packet into an IPv6 packet, and transmits the IPv6 packet to an NPE (Network-Premises Equipment) via an IPv6 tunnel between the CPE and the NPE; receives a second IP packet from the NPE via the IPv6 tunnel, converts the second IP packet according to destination address information in the second IP packet, replaces the destination address information in the converted second IP packet with the source address information corresponding to the destination address information in the mapping relation, and transmits the second IP packet to the user terminal.
