Embodiment Construction

[0033] Such as figure 1 Shown, method of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0034] 1. When the switch receives a multicast request from a group user, if it determines that the user is the first to apply for joining the multicast group, it will initiate authentication and verification to the AAA (Authentication Authorization Accounting) server. Charging request, which carries the identification information of the VLAN to which the above-mentioned group belongs;

[0035] The corresponding relationship between VLAN identification information and ingress port identification information can be configured on the switch side; in this way, when the switch receives a multicast request from each group user, it can determine the identification information of the group’s VLAN carried in the request After the ingress port identification information of the multicast request conforms to the corresponding relationship between the locally configured VLAN identification inf...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a system for authenticating and accounting group users for using a multicast service. The system comprises an exchanger and an authenticating, authorizing and accounting (AAA) server. The method comprises the following steps that: when receiving a multicast request sent by the group user and judging that the user is the first user to apply for jointing a multicast group, the exchanger initiates an authenticating and accounting request to the AAA server, wherein the authenticating and accounting request carries identification information of a virtual local area network (VLAN) affiliated by the group; and after receiving the authenticating and accounting request and determining the identification information of the virtual local area network (VLAN) affiliated by the group is legal, the AAA server starts accounting; and when receiving a multicast logging-out request sent by the last user in the multicast group, the exchanger initiates an accounting stopping request to the AAA server, and the AAA server stops accounting after receiving the accounting stopping request. When the method and the system are used, the diversity of the accounting is improved effectively, legal rights and interests of the users are protected, the benefit maximization of operators is guaranteed, and service is provided for the operators and client groups preferably.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computer communication, in particular to an authentication and charging method and system for group users using multicast services. Background technique [0002] In the field of data communication, when group users using the same group service access multicast resources, the network side usually performs separate authentication and accounting for each group user joining the multicast group. customer of. For example: for multicast users who use the 802.1x protocol, PPP (Point to Point Protocol), DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) for data communication, the network side performs authentication and authentication based on the user name and password of the user. Accounting; or authentication and accounting based on the physical location information of the multicast user; or authentication and accounting based on the MAC (Media Access Control, Media Access Control) address ...
