OpenFlow在下一代数据中心网络的应用研究

主要阐述了转发面开放协议(OpenFlow)的概念,并介绍了其控制和转发分离的核心思想,分析了其开放性、智能化和高性价比特性。同时,分析了下一代数据网络中心对网络的需求(流量快速增长、横向流量大幅提升、对网络智能化管理需求不断提升、增值业务快速部署等),并对OpenFlow在数据中心的应用场景进行探讨。最后,对OpenFlow进行了展望。

Research on Applications for OpenFlow in Next-generation Data Center Networks

The OpenFlow concept was described,the core idea of the separation control with forwarding plane was introduced, and its features, including open ,intelligent and cost-effective were analyzed. Simultaneous, the demands for next-generation IDC were analyzed,such as fast growth of network traffic, horizontal flow increased dramatically,rising demand for intelligent management of network, rapid deployment needs of value-added services.Scenarios of OpenFlow in data center were proposed. At last, a prospect of OpenFlow was taken.
