OPENFLOW PROTOCOL RESOURCES CONTROL METHOD, DEVICE AND SYSTEM

摘要

An OpenFlow protocol resources control method, device and system, used for solving the problem of inadequate forwarding resources utilisation. The method may comprise: a controller sends a resources allocation request message to a forwarder, an OpenFlow interface being established between the controller and the forwarder; the controller receives a resources allocation message sent by the forwarder in response to the resources allocation request message, the resources allocation message comprising: idle forwarding resources obtained by the forwarder from within total forwarding resources; according to the idle forwarding resources, the controller allocates service usable forwarding resources to a service created on the controller, the service usable forwarding resources being a portion or all of the resources within the idle forwarding resources.
