A method and device for controlling access number of user device

Abstract

The invention discloses the acquiring user equipment access number control method and a device, both of which can identify the accessible user equipment number for an access equipment. The access equipment implements access management for a user equipment according to the identified accessible user equipment number; therefore, as the accessible user equipment number is identified and informed, the access equipment can judge whether the user equipment is allowed to access according to the accessible user equipment number. The user equipment access number control method is remarkably provided with very high flexibility, hence can effectively protect the interests of operators and users and remarkably improve the satisfactoriness of the user.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to access technology, in particular to a method and device for controlling the number of user equipment accesses. Background technique [0002] At present, in the implementation of network access systems such as the Internet, operators often adopt the method of restricting one user equipment (usually a PC) from accessing the network through one access device to prevent multiple potential users from sharing bandwidth. The operator of the method does not restrict any sharing. The current access system is shown in Figure 1. In Figure 1, the access device on the user side is connected to the user equipment through Ethernet, and is also connected to the access server on the network side through the point-to-point protocol / point-to-point protocol based on Ethernet (PPP / PPPoE), and the access server is also connected to the The authentication and accounting server is connected. [0003] Obviously, even if there are multiple us...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Obviously, even if there are multiple user equipments, users who are prohibited from sharing cannot use these multiple user equipments to access the network through one access device at the same time, and operators who do not restrict sharing will lose many potential users

The above-mentioned method of controlling the access number of user equipment is obviously not flexible enough, which will adversely affect the interests of operators and users, thereby reducing user satisfaction
