Problems solved by technology

However, when accounting is updated, the flow of the current user received by RADIUS starts from zero, which is a very small amount for a period of time, which is far smaller than the user flow saved in the database on the RADIUS server. At this time, The RADIUS server will think that the user traffic recorded by the billing gateway is inaccurate, so it discards the traffic, causing the user to surf the Internet for free for a period of time, which brings great economic losses to the operator.

Embodiment 1

[0040] Such as figure 2As shown, in the dual-machine backup network structure diagram where the billing gateway works in pass-through mode, the STP protocol is run between the switches. Since the STP protocol ensures that each switch is placed in a tree structure, any two switches There is only one path between the switches, that is, it can be ensured that data traffic only goes through one of the A and B ports. If there is a redundant link, the corresponding port is set to blocking mode and does not forward packets. Run the VRRP protocol between accounting gateways to monitor RADIUS-link ports. Billing gateway 1 and billing gateway 2 are mutual backups. Under normal circumstances, one billing gateway is in the working state and the other is in the backup state.

[0041] suppose figure 2 The charging gateway 1 is in the normal working state, and the charging gateway 2 is in the backup state. When billing gateway 1 is unilaterally powered off due to some abnormality, billi...

Embodiment 2

[0044] according to figure 1 The shown networking structure requires two billing gateways. If the operator has limited economic conditions and only has one billing gateway, the present invention can also implement accurate billing based on the traffic of Internet users.

[0045] figure 1 The network structure shown is such a networking situation, in which there is only one billing gateway. At this time, one GE (Gigabit Ethernet) port of the billing gateway is connected to the core switch, and the other is connected to the external network. The external network here is generally the Internet or CERNET. Transfer to the external network, complete user-based traffic collection at the same time, and cooperate with the RADIUS server to complete intelligent billing and log monitoring; another 100M, 1000M adaptive interface supports and RADIUS server collects and reports traffic through the RADIUS protocol.

[0046] In terms of the specific process, it is basically the same as the p...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for improving the charging based on the flow in the network environment of the charging gateway with working penetrating mode, which comprises the following steps: 1) the usable charging gateway receives the switch layer network device sent charging update message and recombines them; the combined charging update message goes to the remote identifying dialing user sever, wherein the charging update new message comprises the information of user flow; 2) the remote identifying dial user server receives the charging new message and compares the user content flow of the charging update message and the corresponding user flow of the local database and feedbacks the comparing result to the charging gateway; 3) when the charging gateway receives the charging repose message, it captures the current flow from the charging repose message and uses the current flow value to update the local table user flow.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of network communication, in particular to an improved method and system for billing based on traffic. Background technique [0002] With the development of broadband network technology, operators, enterprise networks, and campus networks all require broadband networks to provide intelligent billing, authentication, and manageable networks in order to provide good conditions for network operation. At the same time, it is also necessary to implement User-based traffic billing, through refined traffic billing, completely eliminates the Proxy (proxy server) Internet access problem caused by time-based billing in the past, so as to prevent the network from being occupied by Proxy for a long time and billing cannot recover costs. [0003] The billing gateway uses hardware instead of software to handle network management and billing, which can not only solve the problems left by software gateways, but also increas...
