A Computing Power Method Based on EVPN-VXLAN Extension in Data Center Networks

Data center networks need to deliver various cloud services to large number of users, necessitating efficient and flexible management of network resources. However, the widely utilized EVPN-VXLAN (Ethernet Virtual Private Network - Virtual Extensible Local Area Network) technology for network virtualization currently lacks support for computing power resource scheduling within the overlay network. While computing power services can conserve network bandwidth and reduce latency for high-demand applications, they encounter challenges related to end-to-end delivery, path selection, and resource allocation in the EVPN-VXLAN data center network. This paper proposes a novel computing power scheduling method based on EVPN-VXLAN that defines a new EVPN routing type to facilitate the delivery of multi-resource information, which is then utilized for computing power routing selection and forwarding. The proposed method enhances the performance and efficiency of computing power services within the data center EVPN-VXLAN network at the overlay layer while maintaining compatibility with existing EVPN-VXLAN technology.
