Abstract
Provided is a method and apparatus for forwarding computing-power application traffic. The method includes: when computing-power application traffic reaches an SRv6 node, the SRv6 node parses a computing-power service from a NSH or an IPv6 SRH of the computing-power application traffic, wherein the computing-power service is encapsulated in the NSH as a service function, or is directly encapsulated in the IPv6 SRH; if the computing-power service belongs to the SRv6 node, the SRv6 node selects a corresponding instance node according to a mapping relationship between the computing-power service and a plurality of instance nodes; and the SRv6 node forwards the computing-power application traffic to the selected instance node.
Claims18
A method for forwarding computing-power application traffic, comprising:
- when computing-power application traffic reaches a Segment Routing over IPv6 (SRv6) node, parsing, by the SRv6 node, a computing-power service from a network service header (NSH) of the computing-power application traffic, wherein the computing-power service is encapsulated in the NSH as a service function (SF);
- when the computing-power service belongs to the SRv6 node, selecting, by the SRv6 node, a corresponding instance node according to a mapping relationship between the computing-power service and a plurality of instance nodes;
- forwarding, by the SRv6 node, the computing-power application traffic to the selected instance node;
- wherein when the computing-power application traffic reaches the SRv6 node, before the SRv6 node parses the computing-power service from the NSH of the computing-power application traffic, the method further comprises:
- performing, by the SRv6 node, a computing-power service registration for a local computing-power service node, and
- establishing a mapping relationship between the computing-power service and a plurality of instance nodes.
A method for forwarding computing-power application traffic, comprising:
- when computing-power application traffic reaches a Segment Routing over IPv6 (SRv6) node, the parsing, by the SRv6 node, a computing-power service from a segment routing header (SRH) of the computing-power application traffic, wherein the computing-power service is encapsulated in the SRH as one hop in an SRv6 segment list;
- when the next hop indicated by the SRH is a computing-power service, selecting, by the SRv6 node, a corresponding instance node according to a mapping relationship between the computing-power service and a plurality of instance nodes;
- forwarding, by the SRv6 node, the computing-power application traffic to the selected instance node;
- wherein when the computing-power application traffic reaches the SRv6 node, before the SRv6 node parses the computing-power service from the SRH of the computing-power application traffic, the method further comprises:
- performing, by the SRv6 node, a computing-power service registration for a local computing-power service node, and
- establishing a mapping relationship between the computing-power service and a plurality of instance nodes.
A device for forwarding computing-power application traffic, comprising:
- a first parsing module, configured to parse a computing-power service from a network service header (NSH) of a computing-power application traffic when the computing-power application traffic reaches a Segment Routing over IPv6 (SRv6) node, wherein the computing-power service is encapsulated in the NSH as a service function (SF);
- a first selection module, configured to select a corresponding instance node according to a mapping relationship between the computing-power service and a plurality of instance nodes under a condition that the computing-power service belongs to the SRv6 node;
- a first forwarding module, configured to forward the computing-power application traffic to the selected instance node;
- wherein when the computing-power application traffic reaches the SRv6 node, before the SRv6 node parses the computing-power service from the NSH of the computing-power application traffic, the first parsing module is further configured to:
- perform a computing-power service registration for a local computing-power service node, and
- establish a mapping relationship between the computing-power service and a plurality of instance nodes.
