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, when the home gateway assigns the IP address to the set-top box, it follows the ServiceType type value in the interface ID defined in the present invention, where 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 designated IP to the set-top box, and when sending the IPTV request to the BRAS / SR, it carries the user name and password of the home gateway.

[0025] Let's start with the IPv6 address to understand the IPv6 address and allocation method, and you can modify and supplement the related protocols to achieve functional expansion.

[0026] A typical IPv6 host unicast address consists of 3 parts: global routing prefix, subnet ID and interface ID (64 bits). The global routing prefix is ​​used to identify a range of addresses assigned to a site. The subnet ID is also called the subnet prefix, and a subnet ID is associated with a...

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 present invention belongs to the field of realizing address allocation for set-top boxes by using dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCPv6) (the working range of Network working group in 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 ways to determine users. [0003] Method 1: Username + password. When a user applies for an IPTV service, the operator manually enters the user name and password into the set-top box or through the ITMS system. [0004] In this way, when the user uses the IPTV service, the set-top box accesses the operator’s network, accesses the IPTV service platform through the network, and sends a service application to the IPTV service platform (the application contains a user name and password), and the authentication system of the service platform queries the user Whether the name and password are correct, if the...
