Service Process Control Method and Network Device

摘要

A service process control method and a network device. The method includes: selecting, according to an execution policy of at least one service deployed on a network device, M data processing modules for processing a packet received by the network device, and determining a processing sequence for the selected M data processing modules to process the packet; and invoking the selected M data processing modules to sequentially process, according to the processing sequence, the packet. In the foregoing technical solutions of embodiments of the present invention, an execution sequence for a data processing module to process the packet is dynamically generated according to a policy set corresponding to the service, thereby reducing an unnecessary processing process and redundant information collection in a service execution procedure, improving service processing flexibility, and enhancing overall performance of the device.

1. A service process control method in a network device, wherein the network device comprises N data processing modules, and wherein each data processing module is configured to collect information of one dimension of a packet received by the network device, the method comprising:
selecting, according to an execution policy of at least one service deployed on the network device, M data processing modules for processing a packet received by the network device; determining a processing sequence for the selected M data processing modules to process the packet, wherein N is greater than or equal to M, wherein M and N are both positive integers, wherein an execution policy of each service comprises at least one service rule, wherein each service rule comprises a condition and an action, and wherein matching of each service rule at least depends on information of one dimension of the packet; invoking the selected M data processing modules to process the packet according to the processing sequence; performing, according to all information of the packet that is collected by the M data processing modules, matching for all service rules that are part of the execution policy of the at least one service, so as to determine a successfully matched service rule; and executing an action corresponding to the successfully matched service rule.
