CA 2604627

A method and apparatus for an application aware traffic shaping service node architecture is described. One embodiment of the invention, the service node architecture includes a set of one or more line cards, a set of one or more processor cards and a full mesh communication infrastructure coupling the sets of line and processor cards. Each link coupling the sets of line and processor cards is of equal capacity. A line card includes a physical interface and a set of one or policy network processors, with the network processors performing deep packet inspection on incoming traffic and shaping outgoing traffic. Processors cards include a set of one or more policy generating processors. According to another embodiment of the invention, the service node generates a set of statistics based on the incoming traffic and continually updates, in real-time, traffic shaping policies based on the set of statistics.

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un appareil destinés à une architecture de noeud de service de lissage du trafic informé de l'application. Dans une forme de réalisation, l'architecture de noeud de service comprend un ensemble d'au moins une carte de ligne, un ensemble d'au moins une carte de processeur et une infrastructure de communication à maillage complet qui relie les ensembles de cartes de ligne et de processeur. Chaque liaison reliant les ensembles de cartes de ligne et de processeur est de capacité égale. Une carte de ligne comprend une interface physique et un ensemble d'au moins un processeur de réseau de directives, les processeurs du réseau effectuant l'inspection en profondeur du trafic entrant et le lissage du trafic sortant. Les cartes de processeur comprennent un ensemble d'au moins un processeur générateur de directives. Selon une autre forme de réalisation de l'invention, le noeud de service génère un ensemble de statistiques sur la base du trafic entrant et actualise en continu, en temps réel, les directives de lissage du trafic sur la base de l'ensemble de statistiques.
