摘要

摘要: 在软件定义网络中，为了实现各种网络性能优化目标，控制面需要频繁的对数据面进行更新。然而，由于数据面的异步性，不合理的更新将严重降低网络性能。针对此问题，该文提出一种快速和一致的流更新策略(FCFU)。该策略通过流分段减弱其原有的强依赖关系，使能并行更新，通过分析子流段与多个资源间的依赖关系得到总更新轮数较少的更新安排，最后基于延时队列完成一致性流更新。实验结果表明，与现有的流更新算法相比，该策略能够缩短流更新总时间达20.6%，同时保证了更新期间无拥塞和包乱序等问题的发生。

Abstract: In Software Defined Networks (SDN), in order to meet various network performance optimization goals, the control plane needs to frequently update the data plane. However, due to the asynchronous nature of the data plane, unreasonable updates will severely degrade network performance. To address this issue, a Fast and Consistent Flow Update (FCFU) strategy is proposed, which weakens the original strong dependency through flow segmentations and enables parallel updates. By analyzing the dependency relationship between sub-flow segments and multiple resources, the update schedule with less numbers of rounds is obtained. Finally, consistent flow update is achieved based on the delay queue. Experimental results show that, compared with the existing flow update algorithms, this strategy can shorten the total completion time of flow update by 20.6%, while ensuring that no congestion and packet reordering occur during the update period.
