In existing data center, a common frame is disposed an access switch, be placed on the frame top, this access switch is referred to as frame top (Top Of Rack, TOR) switch, connect a plurality of servers below a TOR switch, can move a plurality of VM on each server.particularly, can receive the object message that VM sends by the TOR switch, comprise the purpose identification information in described object message, and then by described TOR switch according to described purpose identification information, obtain the forwarding-table item corresponding with described purpose identification information, make the described TOR switch can be according to described forwarding-table item, send described object message, because the exchanges data between VM is carried out by the TOR switch, therefore, can avoid in prior art being used to process due to a large amount of processing resources that the exchanges data between VM completes by the vSwitch of server inside the server that causes the problem of the message of VM, thereby saved the processing resource of server.
In addition, because the exchanges data between VM is carried out by the TOR switch, and need not the associative operation of the vSwitch executing data exchange of server inside, for example, inquiry is transmitted, perhaps, more for example, routed encapsulation or route decapsulation, wait operation, thereby can further improve the performance of server.
In addition, herein term " and/or ", be only a kind of incidence relation of describing affiliated partner, can there be three kinds of relations in expression, for example, A and/or B can represent: individualism A exists A and B, these three kinds of situations of individualism B simultaneously.In addition, character "/", represent that generally forward-backward correlation is to liking a kind of relation of "or" herein.
The schematic flow sheet of the virtualized TOR exchange configuration method a kind of Network Based that Fig. 1 provides for one embodiment of the invention, as shown in Figure 1.
101, server receives the first control command that is used for controlling the TOR switch that cloud computing platform sends.
102, described server, according to described the first control command, sends the second control command to the TOR switch, so that described TOR switch, according to described the second control command, carries out management and the configuration operation corresponding with described the second control command.
like this, receive by server the first control command that is used for controlling the TOR switch that cloud computing platform sends, and then by described server according to described the first control command, send the second control command to the TOR switch, so that described TOR switch is according to described the second control command, carry out management and the configuration operation corresponding with described the second control command, because cloud computing platform only need to send the first control command that this server can be identified to server, according to the first control command, the second control command is sent to the TOR switch by server, be that cloud computing platform passes through server indirectly control TOR switch, therefore, cloud computing platform only need to carry out adapting operation for server, and need not to carry out different adapting operations for vSwitch from the TOR switch respectively, thereby reduced the complexity of the disposition and management operation of system for cloud computing.
Need to prove, the Network Based virtualized TOR exchange configuration method that the present embodiment provides can be applied to distributed system.
Development along with the Internet, distributed system can't better meet extension of network and managerial demand, therefore, the related control of the network of software definition (Software Defined Network, SDN) thought is arisen at the historic moment with the integrated system that forwarding separates.For example: open flows (OpenFlow) system is exactly control and forward a kind of of the integrated system that separates, the message processing procedure that OpenFlow switch (OpenFlow Switch) will be controlled by switch/router originally fully is converted into to be completed jointly by OpenFlow switch and OpenFlow controller (OpenFlow Controller), thereby has realized separating of data retransmission and route control.Further, the Network Based virtualized TOR exchange configuration method that provides of the present embodiment can also be applied to control and forward the integrated system that separates; Forwarding unit during described TOR switch can include but not limited to described control and forward the integrated system that separates.Described TOR switch is only completed forwarding logic, and control logic is separated on control appliance.
Particularly, in the present embodiment, control appliance specifically can be realized controlling to described TOR switch by server.That is to say, in 101, described server specifically can receive described the first control command that described cloud computing platform sends by control appliance.
Because the TOR switch does not directly carry out alternately with cloud computing platform, but indirect and cloud computing platform carries out alternately by server, and therefore, control appliance, downwards towards the interface of described TOR switch, is actually the interface of service-oriented device.This interface can be called southbound interface.And be called northbound interface to the interface of cloud computing platform (being management software and application) upward.
Under the OpenFlow system, described TOR switch and server can be the OpenFlow switch.
Particularly, the OpenFlow controller may operate on x86 IA frame serverPC, can also further move cloud computing platform (being management software and application) on this OpenFlow controller, and carrying out organically integrating with cloud computing center is integrated setting.
Alternatively, in one of the present embodiment possible implementation, described the first control command can include but not limited to give an order:
Instruction for increasing stream table list item;
Be used for the instruction of deletion stream table list item;
Be used for the instruction of the stream that statistic fluid table list item identifies; Or

For example, if the first control command that server receives is the instruction for increasing stream table list item, server can send to the TOR switch with stream table list item to be increased, after reviewing and validate effectively by the TOR switch, by adaptation layer and SDK (Software Development Kit, SDK), should be configured in forwarding chip by stream table list item.
Perhaps, again for example, if the first control command that server receives is the instruction of the stream that identifies for statistic fluid table list item, server can send to the TOR switch with the second control command of correspondence, by the TOR switch by adaptation layer and SDK, get the statistical information of the corresponding stream in forwarding chip, and this statistical information is sent to server, by server, send to cloud computing platform.
In the present embodiment, when server moves, server can be first and the TOR switch carry out setting up two-way communication connection alternately.The TOR switch, by server, carries out alternately with cloud computing platform, to realize disposition and management.
Be understandable that, the server of disposing in same frame can communicate with the TOR switch simultaneously, that is to say, the communication connection of setting up between each server and TOR switch is isolation mutually.
in the present embodiment, receive by server the first control command that is used for controlling the TOR switch that cloud computing platform sends, and then by described server according to described the first control command, send the second control command to the TOR switch, so that described TOR switch is according to described the second control command, carry out management and the configuration operation corresponding with described the second control command, because cloud computing platform only need to send the first control command that this server can be identified to server, according to the first control command, the second control command is sent to the TOR switch by server, be that cloud computing platform passes through server indirectly control TOR switch, therefore, cloud computing platform only need to carry out adapting operation for server, and need not to carry out different adapting operations for vSwitch from the TOR switch respectively, thereby reduced the complexity of the disposition and management operation of system for cloud computing.
in addition, adopt technical scheme provided by the invention, because cloud computing platform can pass through server indirectly control TOR switch, therefore, first the first control command is processed by server, and then corresponding the second control command of disposition and management operation that needs are unloaded on the TOR switch sends to the TOR switch, for example, the associative operation of stream table list item etc., the framework of this system for cloud computing can allow server can organically combine into as a whole with the TOR switch, make cloud computing platform more flexible to the attended operation of system for cloud computing, thereby making various application innovation in system for cloud computing become is more prone to, and the performance of system for cloud computing also can further be protected.

201, the second control command that is used for control TOR switch that TOR switch reception server sends, described the second control command are the first control command transmission that is used for controlling the TOR switch that described server sends according to the cloud computing platform that receives.
202, described TOR switch, according to described the second control command, carries out management and the configuration operation corresponding with described the second control command.
like this, the second control command that is used for controlling the TOR switch by the transmission of TOR switch reception server, described the second control command is the first control command transmission that is used for controlling the TOR switch that described server sends according to the cloud computing platform that receives, make the described TOR switch can be according to described the second control command, carry out management and the configuration operation corresponding with described the second control command, because cloud computing platform only need to send the first control command that this server can be identified to server, according to the first control command, the second control command is sent to the TOR switch by server, be that cloud computing platform passes through server indirectly control TOR switch, therefore, cloud computing platform only need to carry out adapting operation for server, and need not to carry out different adapting operations for vSwitch from the TOR switch respectively, thereby reduced the complexity of the disposition and management operation of system for cloud computing.

Be used for the instruction of deletion stream table list item;
Be used for the instruction of the stream that statistic fluid table list item identifies; Or
Be used for synchronous instruction.
For example, if the first control command that server receives is the instruction for increasing stream table list item, server can send to the TOR switch with stream table list item to be increased, after reviewing and validate effectively by the TOR switch, by adaptation layer and SDK (Software Development Kit, SDK), should be configured in forwarding chip by stream table list item.
Perhaps, again for example, if the first control command that server receives is the instruction of the stream that identifies for statistic fluid table list item, server can send to the TOR switch with the second control command of correspondence, by the TOR switch by adaptation layer and SDK, get the statistical information of the corresponding stream in forwarding chip, and this statistical information is sent to server, by server, send to cloud computing platform.
In the present embodiment, when server moves, server can be first and the TOR switch carry out setting up two-way communication connection alternately.The TOR switch, by server, carries out alternately with cloud computing platform, to realize disposition and management.
Be understandable that, the server of disposing in same frame can communicate with the TOR switch simultaneously, that is to say, the communication connection of setting up between each server and TOR switch is isolation mutually.
in the present embodiment, the second control command that is used for controlling the TOR switch by the transmission of receiving element reception server, described the second control command is the first control command transmission that is used for controlling the TOR switch that described server sends according to the cloud computing platform that receives, make the operating unit can be according to described the second control command, carry out management and the configuration operation corresponding with described the second control command, because cloud computing platform only need to send the first control command that this server can be identified to server, according to the first control command, the second control command is sent to the TOR switch by server, be that cloud computing platform passes through server indirectly control TOR switch, therefore, cloud computing platform only need to carry out adapting operation for server, and need not to carry out different adapting operations for vSwitch from the TOR switch respectively, thereby reduced the complexity of the disposition and management operation of system for cloud computing.
in addition, adopt technical scheme provided by the invention, because cloud computing platform can pass through server indirectly control TOR switch, therefore, first the first control command is processed by server, and then corresponding the second control command of disposition and management operation that needs are unloaded on the TOR switch sends to the TOR switch, for example, the associative operation of stream table list item etc., the framework of this system for cloud computing can allow server can organically combine into as a whole with the TOR switch, make cloud computing platform more flexible to the attended operation of system for cloud computing, thereby making various application innovation in system for cloud computing become is more prone to, and the performance of system for cloud computing also can further be protected.
