文摘Over the last decade, the rapid growth in traffic and the number of network devices has implicitly led to an increase in network energy consumption. In this context, a new paradigm has emerged, Software-Defined Networking (SDN), which is an emerging technique that separates the control plane and the data plane of the deployed network, enabling centralized control of the network, while offering flexibility in data center network management. Some research work is moving in the direction of optimizing the energy consumption of SD-DCN, but still does not guarantee good performance and quality of service for SDN networks. To solve this problem, we propose a new mathematical model based on the principle of combinatorial optimization to dynamically solve the problem of activating and deactivating switches and unused links that consume energy in SDN networks while guaranteeing quality of service (QoS) and ensuring load balancing in the network.
文摘在软件定义网络(software-defined networking,SDN)中,OpenFlow交换机通常采用三态内容可寻址存储器(ternary content addressable memory,TCAM)存储流表,以支持快速通配查找.然而,TCAM采用并行查找方式,查找能耗高,因此有必要为OpenFlow交换机选择合适的TCAM容量,以平衡分组转发时延和能耗.针对软件定义数据中心网络(software-defined data center network,SD-DCN)这一典型应用场景,利用多优先级M/G/1排队模型刻画OpenFlow交换机的分组处理过程,进而建立OpenFlow分组转发时延模型.同时,基于网络流分布特性,建立TCAM流表命中率模型,以求解OpenFlow分组转发时延与TCAM容量的关系式.在此基础上,结合TCAM查找能耗,建立OpenFlow分组转发能效联合优化模型,并设计优化算法求解TCAM最优容量.实验结果表明:所提时延模型比现有模型更能准确刻画OpenFlow分组转发时延.同时,利用优化算法求解不同参数配置下的TCAM最优容量,为SD-DCN实际部署提供参考依据.
