Abstract
A network management method, device, and system used for network management and pertains to the communications field, where the method includes detecting bandwidth required by a first data flow, determining whether the bandwidth required by the first data flow is greater than a preset bandwidth value when the bandwidth required by the first data flow becomes higher, and allocating bandwidth to the first data flow when the bandwidth required by the first data flow is greater than the preset bandwidth value. Hence, a problem that a controller has relatively low efficiency when performing network management is resolved, thereby improving efficiency of performing network management by the controller.
Claims18
A network management method implemented by a controller in a network management system, wherein the network management method comprises:
- detecting bandwidth required by a first data flow, wherein the first data flow is one of a plurality of data flows, wherein the network management system comprises a primary switch and a plurality of ingress switches, and wherein each ingress switch of the plurality of ingress switches receives one or more of the data flows;
- obtaining a lendable bandwidth corresponding to each of the data flows from a bandwidth turnover information base, wherein the first data flow does not comprise a lent bandwidth;
- determining whether a second data flow of the data flows other than the first data flow comprises lendable bandwidth in response to obtaining the lendable bandwidth corresponding to each of the data flows;
- and
- allocating bandwidth to the first data flow based on the bandwidth required by the first data flow being greater than a preset bandwidth value, and wherein the second data flow of the data flows comprises the lendable bandwidth.
A network management apparatus, comprising:
- a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions;
- and
- a processor coupled to the non-transitory computer readable medium, wherein the instructions cause the processor to be configured to:
- detect bandwidth required by a first data flow, wherein the first data flow is one of a data flows received at an ingress switch of a plurality of ingress switches;
- obtain a lendable bandwidth corresponding to each of the data flows from a bandwidth turnover information base, wherein the first data flow does not comprise a lent bandwidth;
- determine whether a second data flow of the data flows other than the first data flow comprises lendable bandwidth in response to obtaining the lendable bandwidth corresponding to each of the data flows;
- and
- allocate bandwidth to the first data flow based on the bandwidth required by the first data flow being greater than a preset bandwidth value, and wherein the second data flow of the data flows comprises the lendable bandwidth.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, which when executed by a processor coupled to the non-transitory computer readable medium, causes the processor to be configured to:
- detect bandwidth required by a first data flow, wherein the first data flow is one of a data flows at an ingress switch of a plurality of ingress switches, and wherein each ingress switch of the plurality of ingress switches receives one or more of the data flows;
- and
- obtain a lendable bandwidth corresponding to each of the data flows from a bandwidth turnover information base, wherein the first data flow does not comprise a lent bandwidth;
- determine whether a second data flow of the data flows other than the first data flow comprises lendable bandwidth in response to obtaining the lendable bandwidth corresponding to each of the data flows;
- and
- allocate bandwidth to the first data flow based on the bandwidth required by the first data flow is greater than a preset bandwidth value, and wherein the second data flow of the data flows comprises the lendable bandwidth.
