Abstract

An edge switch receives a VM classification policy and an executing policy corresponding to each VM class distributed by a policy controller. The executing policy comprises information of each service node for processing a message and an executing sequence of the each service node. The edge switch receives a message sent by a VM connected to the edge switch, determines a VM class corresponding to the message according to the VM classification policy and determines an executing policy corresponding to the VM class. The edge switch encapsulates the message according to information of each service node to be executed by a VM of the VM class and an executing sequence, and sends the message, so that the message is sequentially sent to the each service node to be executed by the VM of the VM class to execute a service policy.

Dependent claims

A method for executing a service, comprising:

receiving, by an edge switch, a virtual machine (VM) classification policy and an executing policy corresponding to each VM class distributed by a policy controller, the executing policy comprising information of each service node for processing a message and an executing sequence of the each service node;
receiving a message sent by a VM connected to the edge switch;
determining a VM class corresponding to the message according to the VM classification policy, and determining an executing policy corresponding to the VM class;
encapsulating the message according to information of each service node to be executed by a VM of the VM class and an executing sequence, and sending the message, so that the message is sequentially sent to the each service node to be executed by the VM of the VM class to execute a service policy.
