CONTAINER NETWORK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND CONTAINER NETWORKING METHOD

摘要

The present invention relates to a software defined network (SDN)-based container network management system and a container networking method of a container network, the container network management system and the container networking method enabling an L2/L3 network between containers, enabling unnecessary multicast and broadcast traffics to be reduced, and enabling a flexible network operation. The management system can comprise: a real network interface connected to a legacy network; an SDN-based virtual switch for transmitting/receiving a packet to/from the legacy network through the real network interface; a host control unit for generating the virtual switch; a container bridge generated by the host control unit, virtually network-coupled to the virtual switch through a bridge-switch network interface (NI), and having a bridge identifier for identifying itself; and a first host generated by the host control unit, allowing a unique IP address to be allocated on the basis of the bridge net information, and comprising a plurality of containers virtually network-coupled to the container bridge.
