User access method and apparatus based on multiple users

Abstract

The invention relates to a multi-server-based user access method and device. The present invention mainly includes: firstly, configuring the weight information of several AAA (authentication, authentication, billing) servers in the network; afterward, when the user accesses the network, selects an AAA server to connect the user according to the weight information of each AAA server. The authentication, authentication and accounting messages in the process of entering the network are processed. Therefore, the present invention can effectively avoid the overload of a single AAA server in the active / standby mode, and also effectively reduce the probability of network congestion. In a word, the implementation of the present invention can effectively improve the possibility of users successfully accessing the network, and avoid authentication or charging operation failures in the process of accessing the network due to network congestion or overload of a single AAA server.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of network communication, in particular to a multi-server-based user access method and device. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of network communication technology, various network applications are increasing day by day. At the same time, a large number of users with scattered physical locations can use devices such as Modem (modem) to conduct random access to other networks from different physical locations through the public network. [0003] In the process of network access, users can transmit their own information to the corresponding network, and can also get the information they want from the corresponding network. It is precisely because of the two-way data flow inside and outside that network security becomes an important issue. For this reason, the management of users becomes the main task of the network access server. The content managed by the network access server includ...

Problems solved by technology

[0007] From the server selection policy in the active / standby mode above, we can see that when a large number of users under the BRAS go online, if they all choose to send authentication request packets to the active RADIUS authentication server, they all choose to send accounting to the active RADIUS accounting server after they go online. message, it is likely to cause the main RADIUS server to be overloaded and DOWN (deactivate) the machine, that is, it cannot work normally.

[0008] In addition, due to network congestion, some users may not be able to go online or affect the online speed

Therefore, the application of the above-mentioned active-standby server selection strategy in a large-scale network system is likely to cause performance degradation or partial data loss
