Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of computer networks, in particular to an SDN controller system.
Background
The SDN is a novel network innovation architecture, and by separating a network device control plane from a data plane and a programmable API (application program interface), flexible control of network flow is realized. In the product implementation, the control plane is stripped from the conventional network device to form a software package that can run on a standard x86 server, which is also referred to as an SDN controller, while the data plane is generally served by a switch or a router, and the data plane may be implemented by hardware, pure software, or even a mixture of hardware and software. The SDN controller needs to be deployed in the cloud data center to manage, operate and maintain the data center network, and then the SDN controller inevitably needs to work in cooperation with a management platform of the cloud data center. The mainstream cloud management platform at present comprises a vCenter suite of open source OpenStack, vmware corporation. The support and the fusion mode for the cloud management platform are important technical indexes of the SDN controller. OpenStack is the preferred platform for many SDN controllers support because of its open source.
OpenStack is currently managed by the OpenStack foundation, includes multiple independent parallel developed projects, respectively covers the contents of computing, storage, networking, identity authentication, deployment and deployment of a cloud data center in almost all aspects, and is divided into core projects and non-core projects according to the maturity and importance of the projects. The SDN controller supports OpenStack, and the main problem to be solved is how to fuse and cooperate with a core item Neutron of an OpenStack management network. The SDN controller needs to support OpenStack, a technical framework and an API (application programming interface) specification which are realized by a Neutron based on a plug-in Mechanism are required to be followed, a Mechanism called as Mechanism Driver is realized in a core plug ML2 of the Neutron, the SDN controller realizes unique Mechanism Driver according to API interface definition and is hung in the ML2, the Mechanism Driver can also be understood as a forwarding component of the SDN, the SDN controller communicates with the forwarding component outside the Neutron and controls the behavior of the forwarding component, and the whole state of the SDN system is displayed, so that the SDN controller is fused with the Neutron.
The ML2 plug-in the OpenStack platform Neutron project supports multiple Mechanism drivers, but only one Mechanism Driver can be operated on each computing node at most, namely forwarding components of each SDN are exclusive to one computing node. Since each forwarding component needs to monopolize a complete computing node, a new SDN controller cannot deploy its forwarding component onto an original computing node unless the original forwarding component on the computing node is unloaded. Multiple network cards of a virtual machine on a computing node (on the same virtual machine or on different virtual machines) also cannot access different SDN forwarding components.

Preferably, the control system is used for fusion and cooperation of an SDN controller and a core project Neutron of an OpenStack management network.
Preferably, the forwarding component is registered on the kernel plug-in ML2 of Neutron as the only forwarding component on the computing node.
