Problems solved by technology

[0005] In the process of realizing the present invention, the inventor finds that: Mobile Node (mobile node, MN) may migrate between different access networks, and the migration of the access network may cause the MTU of the MN to change. However, in the current In the technical solution, after the migration of the MN, the MTU before the migration is still used, which will cause the data packets sent by the source end node to be discarded, the source end node to re-learn the MTU, and re-establish the tunnel between the source end node and the destination end node and other issues, which ultimately delay the business response time

Embodiment 1

[0055] Negotiation Embodiment 1: In the case that the MN can know the CN of the peer node communicating with it and the lifetime of the MTU, the MN triggers a negotiation process and negotiates the MTU with the CN.

[0056] The MN can obtain all the CNs it has communicated with by recording the information of the CNs it has communicated with. Of course, the MN can also obtain the CN information from the network device. The lifetime of the MTU can be maintained by the MN.

[0057] image 3 In , when the MN migrates to a new access network, or during the migration process of the MN between access networks, the MN can obtain its new address from the access gateway or foreign agent before the migration, that is, the MN can access Before the target accesses the network, it obtains an address that can be used in the target access network, and the address may be called a care-of address. At the same time, the MN can also obtain the MTU value of the migrated access network from the...

Embodiment 2

[0061] Negotiation Embodiment 2: The HA triggers the negotiation process, and negotiates the MTU of the MN with the CN.

[0062] Figure 4In the above, the HA can know the access network migration of the MN at any time. The HA can obtain the MTU supported by the target access network through the tunnel establishment negotiation process with the target gateway. HA can also learn the MTU based on pre-configuration and information obtained from the policy center. The HA can also learn the MTU according to the interaction with the MN. After learning the MTU supported by the target access network, the HA can negotiate the MTU with the CN in two different ways.

[0063] Mode 1: The HA triggers the process of the CN learning the MTU, and responds to the request in the process of the CN learning the MTU on behalf of the MN. For example, when the CN wants to communicate with the MN through the HA, if the size of the data packet sent by the CN exceeds the MTU value supported by the ...

Embodiment 3

[0067] Negotiation Embodiment 3: The gateway in the access network triggers the negotiation process.

[0068] Figure 5 In the process, the GWB notifies the neighbor gateway GWA of the change of the MTU of the MN using a routing protocol, and the CN sends a data packet with the destination address of the MN to the GWA. After receiving the data message and determining the MTU of the MN after the size change of the data message, the GWA discards the data message and sends an ICMP oversized error message to the CN. The changed MTU of the MN is learned after the error message.

[0069] In addition, the access network gateway may also directly notify the HA or CN of the negotiated MTU. For example, the access network gateway may notify the HA or CN through the process of establishing a tunnel with the HA, or through the proxy binding process of the mobile IP performed by the MN through the GW. Of course, the access network gateway can also use newly defined procedures and protoc...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for determining a maximum transmission unit, pertaining to the technical field of communication and comprising the following steps of: determining a target access network of a mobile node, and determining the maximum transmission unit of the mobile node in accordance with the target access network and according to the negotiation result of the maximum transmission unit of the mobile node. For instance, during the transportation process of the mobile node among different access networks, according to the negotiation result of the maximum transmission unit of the mobile node between the service access network and the target access network, the maximum transmission unit of the mobile node is determined. For another instance, during the transportation process of the mobile node among different access networks, according to the negotiation result of the maximum transmission unit of the mobile node between the service access network and the home agent, the maximum transmission unit of the mobile node is determined. The technical proposal reduces service response time and raises the service response speed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of network communication, in particular to a method for determining a maximum transmission unit and a device for determining a maximum transmission unit. Background technique [0002] The Maximum Transmit Unit (Maximum Transmission Unit, MTU) specifies the maximum length of the message that the IP layer and upper layers allow to send. The MTU is related to a specific physical link, and each node can be configured with an MTU. [0003] The MTU of a node has many functions. For example, when the source node sends a data message, it needs to determine the size of the data message according to the MTU to fragment the data message; The MTU of the node establishes the tunnel between the source end node and the destination end node, etc. The MTU actually set by the source end node should not exceed the path MTU (Path MTU, PMTU). If the MTU of the source node exceeds the MTU of the nodes in the data transmission ...
