Abstract
The present disclosure discloses a flow specification (FlowSpec) message processing method. In the method, a controller forwards device interface information reported by the forwarding device; selects at least one forwarding device interface to which a FlowSpec rule needs to be applied from the received forwarding device interface information; generates an application interface rule based on the at least one forwarding device interface to which the FlowSpec rule needs to be applied; and sends a FlowSpec message to the forwarding device.
Claims22
A flow specification (FlowSpec) message processing method, comprising:
- receiving, by a controller, forwarding device interface information reported by a forwarding device;
- generating, by the controller, a FlowSpec message which instructs the forwarding device to apply an FlowSpec rule to at least one forwarding device interface of the forwarding device;
- and
- sending, by the controller, the FlowSpec message to the forwarding device.
A flow specification (FlowSpec) message processing method, comprising:
- reporting, by a forwarding device, forwarding device interface information of the forwarding device to a controller;
- receiving, by the forwarding device, a FlowSpec message sent by the controller, wherein the FlowSpec message instructs the forwarding device to apply an FlowSpec rule to at least one forwarding device interface of the forwarding device;
- and
- applying, by the forwarding device, the FlowSpec rule to the at least one forwarding device interface.
A controller, comprising:
- one or more memories storing instructions, and
- one or more processors, wherein the instructions are executed by the one or more processors to cause the controller to:
- receive forwarding device interface information reported by a forwarding device;
- generate a flow specification (FlowSpec) message which instructs the forwarding device to apply an FlowSpec rule to at least one forwarding device interface of the forwarding device;
- and
- send the FlowSpec message to the forwarding device.
A forwarding device, comprising:
- one or more memories storing instructions, and
- one or more processors, wherein the instructions are executed by the one or more processors to cause the forwarding device to:
- report forwarding device interface information of the forwarding device to a controller;
- receive a flow specification (FlowSpec) message sent by the controller, wherein the FlowSpec message instructs the forwarding device to apply an FlowSpec rule to at least one forwarding device interface of the forwarding device;
- and
- apply the FlowSpec rule to the at least one forwarding device interface.
