Problems solved by technology

Therefore, users cannot purchase a set-top box to watch IPTV by themselves. For example, if the set-top box provided by the operator is broken, they must go to the operator to replace the set-top box
Otherwise, the operator cannot determine the identity of the user based on the set-top box, nor can it assign an IP address to the user who uses the IPTV service, and the user cannot watch IPTV

Embodiment Construction

[0024] In the present invention, the home gateway follows the ServiceType type value in the interface ID defined in the present invention when distributing the IP address to the set-top box, wherein the set-top box is the Client end of DHCPv6, and the home gateway is the Server end of DHCPv6. When the set-top box initiates an IPTV request, the home gateway assigns a specified IP to the set-top box, and carries the home gateway user name + password when sending the IPTV request to the BRAS / SR.

[0025] Let's start with the IPv6 address, understand the IPv6 address and its allocation method, and modify and supplement the relevant protocols, so as to realize function expansion.

[0026] A typical IPv6 host unicast address consists of three parts: global routing prefix, subnet ID and interface ID (64 bits). A global routing prefix is ​​used to identify a range of addresses assigned to a site. A subnet ID is also called a subnet prefix, and a subnet ID is associated with a link to...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for allocating an IPv6 address and a home gateway, which comprises the following steps that a set-top box sends a DHCPv6 request to the home gateway, wherein the request comprises a field for identifying a MAC address of the set-top box and a field for identifying a service of the request as an IPTV service; and the home gateway identifies that the service of the request is the IPTV service and allocates the IPv6 address to the set-top box, wherein an interface ID format in the IPv6 address is that a service type identifier adds the MAC address of the set-top box. The invention not only provides a simple address allocating mode, but also meets the requirement that a user buys the set-top box by self. Equipment can be used in a plug and play mode.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of address allocation for set-top boxes realized by using a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCPv6) (the working scope of the Network working group in the IETF), and in particular relates to a method for allocating IPv6 addresses and a home gateway. Background technique [0002] At present, IPTV services mainly rely on two methods to determine users. [0003] Method 1: username + password. When a user applies for an IPTV service, the operator manually or through the ITMS system enters the user name and password into the set-top box. [0004] In this way, when a user uses IPTV services, the set-top box is connected to the operator's network, connected to the IPTV service platform through the network, and sends a service application to the IPTV service platform (with a user name and password in the application), and the authentication system of the service platform queries the user Check whether the name and pass...
