CLUSTER ROUTER AND CLUSTER ROUTING METHOD

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provide a cluster router and a cluster routing method. The cluster router includes at least one control apparatus and at least two forwarding apparatuses. The control apparatus is connected to the forwarding apparatuses, and the forwarding apparatuses are connected with each other. The control apparatus is configured to generate a routing table of each forwarding apparatus and a packet processing information conversion table of each forwarding apparatus. The packet processing information conversion table includes a corresponding relationship between local frame packet processing information transferred inside the forwarding apparatus and cluster packet processing information transferred between the forwarding apparatuses. The forwarding apparatus is configured to receive the routing table of the forwarding apparatus and the packet processing information conversion table of the forwarding apparatus, which are delivered by the control apparatus, and execute data exchange between the forwarding apparatuses according to the routing table and the packet processing information conversion table. The cluster router and the cluster routing method that are provided in the embodiments of the present invention reduce the number of times of forwarding and improve the compatibility.
