摘要
面向2030的未来网络需要承载自动驾驶、虚拟现实等新型复杂业务,云技术发展倒逼现有网络云化升级,要求网络设备具备可编程性并能够开放化。而传统封闭固定的网络设备难以满足需求,亟需开放可编程的白盒交换机。通过概述白盒交换机体系的发展历程和主要架构,围绕设备开放化和网络可编程两大原则,梳理和比较白盒交换机在体系架构方面的研究,分析白盒交换机当前面临的技术和产业挑战,并指出白盒交换机未来可能的发展方向,以期对白盒交换机以及未来网络的发展做出贡献。
According to the forecast,future networks for 2030 need to carry new complex services such as autonomous driving and virtual reality,while the development of cloud technology forces the current network to be upgraded in the cloud,which requires network devices with programmability and openness.However,the traditional closed and fixed network devices can no longer meet the demand,so there is an urgent need for open and programmable white box switches.This paper summarizes the development history and main structures of white box switch architecture,combs and compares the research conducted on the architecture of white box switches around two major principles,analyzes the current technical and industrial challenges faced by white box switches,and points out the possible future directions of white box switches,excepting to contribute to the development of white box switches and future networks.
