Abstract
The application discloses a network packet processing method and a network server. The method discloses that a network apparatus receives a first TCP packet sent by a client, where the first TCP packet includes a first quintuple and then the network apparatus determines a first thread that processes the first TCP packet according to the first quintuple and processes the first TCP packet by using the first thread.
Claims20
A network packet processing method, comprising:
- receiving a first Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) packet sent by a client, wherein the first TCP packet comprises a first quintuple;
- determining, according to the first quintuple, a first thread that processes the first TCP packet, wherein the first quintuple is used to identify a TCP connection corresponding to the first TCP packet, wherein:
- a TCP connection status of the TCP connection is an unsteady TCP connection or a steady TCP connection, wherein the unsteady TCP connection represents a TCP connection in an establishment process or a disconnection process, and the steady TCP connection represents a TCP connection in a data transmission process;
- the first thread is a control thread or a data processing thread, wherein the control thread is used to process the unsteady TCP connection, and the data processing thread is used to process the steady TCP connection;
- and
- determining the first thread comprises:
- in response to determining that the TCP connection is the unsteady TCP connection, determining the control thread as the first thread;
- or
- in response to determining that the TCP connection is the steady TCP connection, determining the data processing thread as the first thread;
- and
- processing the first TCP packet by using the first thread.

- determine, by the at least one processor, according to the first quintuple, a first thread that processes the first TCP packet, wherein the first quintuple is used to identify a TCP connection corresponding to the first TCP packet, wherein:
- a TCP connection status of the TCP connection is an unsteady TCP connection or a steady TCP connection, the unsteady TCP connection represents a TCP connection in an establishment process or a disconnection process, and the steady TCP connection represents a TCP connection in a data transmission process;
- the first thread is a control thread or a data processing thread, the control thread is used to process the unsteady TCP connection, and the data processing thread is used to process the steady TCP connection;
- and
- determining the first thread comprises:
- in response to determining that the TCP connection is the unsteady TCP connection, determining the control thread as the first thread;
- or
- in response to determining that the TCP connection is the steady TCP connection, determining the data processing thread as the first thread;
- and
- process, by the at least one processor, the first TCP packet by using the first thread.
