Decentralized network device system, method, network cloud packet forwarder, and readable storage medium

A decentralized network device system comprising:

• one or more network cloud packet forwarders (NCPs), comprising one or more candidate management NCPs and a primary management NCP, wherein the one or more candidate management NCPs are determined by the one or more NCPs based on received configuration packets, the primary management NCP is determined from the one or more candidate management NCPs through an election algorithm, and the primary management NCP is configured to centrally process a management service packet of the system for maintenance and management of the system;
• and
• one or more network cloud fabrics (NCFs), configured to receive and forward a packet from the one or more NCPs, wherein the packet comprises a packet notifying results of the election algorithm and a management service packet;
• wherein the decentralized network device system is provided without a network cloud controller (NCC);
• wherein the one or more NCPs are further configured, respectively, to:
• process a control service packet for the one or more NCPs in a distributed manner, wherein the control service packet is a packet for configuring protocols and/or controlling the one or more NCFs and the one or more NCPs in the decentralized network device system.
