Abstract
Service deployment in the conventional network is very complicated. Operator needs to plan the service path in advance, and then manually configure the policy for each node on the service path. The software-definable network service configuration method disclosed in the present invention is different from the conventional network. On the one hand, the control layer has a global network resource view to more easily plan service paths for service requests. On the other hand, the control layer adopts a centralized management of physical switch nodes in the data layer via a southbound interface, which makes it easier to automatically implement policy configuration in physical switch nodes.
