Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to mobile communication technology, in particular to a method and equipment for allocating tunnel end point identifiers (TunnelEnd Point Identifier, TEID). Background technique
[0002] In the general packet radio service tunneling protocol (GPRS Tunneling Protocol, GTP) system, for the IP address of a user equipment (UE) connected by an access point name (APN), there is one and only one GTP on the interface using the GTPv1 protocol. Control plane (GTP-C) tunnels, but there can be one to many GTP user plane (GTP-U) tunnels. When establishing each GTP tunnel, whether it is a GTP-C tunnel or a GTP-U tunnel, nodes at both ends of the tunnel will respectively assign a tunnel end point identifier (Tunnel End Point Identifier, TEID). After the GTP tunnel is established, when the sending node sends a GTP message to the receiving node, the GTP message header will carry the TEID value allocated by the receiving node. In the first...
