Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. According to the present disclosure, communication is performed more efficiently in a software defined network (SDN) environment.
Claims8
A method performed by a software defined network (SDN) controller in a wireless communication system, comprising:
- transmitting, to a network node connected to a first host device, setting information for configuring the network node as a first virtual extend local area network (VXLAN) tunnel end point (VTEP);
- transmitting, to a switch connected to a second host device, command information for configuring the switch as a second VTEP,
- wherein a tunnel using a virtual network identifier (VNID) for VXLAN is generated between the first VTEP and the second VTEP,
- wherein the network node is configured to add a header to a data packet received from the first host device and transmit a processed data packet including the header through the tunnel, and
- wherein the switch is configured to
- receive the processed data packet through the tunnel and remove the header to
- transmit the data packet to the second host device.
A software defined network (SDN) controller in a wireless communication system, comprising:
- at least one processor comprising processing circuitry;
- and
- at least one transceiver comprising communication circuitry,
- wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
- transmit, to a network node connected to a first host device through the at least one transceiver, setting information for configuring the network node as a first virtual extend local area network (VXLAN) tunnel end point (VTEP);
- transmit, to a switch connected to a second host device through the at least one transceiver, command information for configuring the switch as a second VTEP,
- wherein a tunnel using a virtual network identifier (VNID) for VXLAN is generated between the first VTEP and the second VTEP,
- wherein the network node is configured to add a header to a data packet received from the first host device and to transmit a processed data packet including the header thorough the tunnel, and
- wherein the switch is configured to:
- receive the processed data packet through the tunnel and remove the header to transmit the data packet to the second host device.
