Method, gateway and system for network access

Abstract

The embodiments of the present invention provide a network access method, comprising: when a PPPoE message sent by a terminal is received, detecting a message type of the PPPoE message, wherein the message type comprises a message PPPoED at the sending stage or a message PPP at the session stage, and the PPPoED carrying access identification data; if the message type of the PPPoE message is the PPPoED, obtaining an exit network channel matching the PPPoE message according to the access identification data carried by the PPPoED; and accessing the terminal to a network through the exit network channel. Also disclosed are a gateway and a system. By adopting the present invention, the function of accessing various networks through a single port can be achieved, thereby saving hardware costs and network maintenance costs.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a communication technology, in particular to a network access method, gateway and system. Background technique [0002] With the development of broadband technology and the vigorous development of Internet TV services, the original pure IPTV (Internet Protocol TV, Interactive Network TV) terminal products cannot meet the business development needs of broadband operators, and operators urgently need Introduced Internet TV business. At present, when China's mainstream broadband operators (China Telecom and China Unicom) develop IPTV services, in order to ensure service quality, they have established a dedicated network for IPTV services, and set-top boxes are connected to the dedicated network for IPTV services through PPPoE and other methods. The Internet TV business needs to be accessed through the traditional public Internet. Therefore, in order to be compatible with these two services on the terminal, the set-top box needs ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, the IPTV set-top boxes currently on the market usually only have one port fixedly connected to the IPTV service dedicated service network, and are not compatible with both IPTV services and Internet services. Users cannot connect to other network types through the set-top box, for example: access to the public Internet through the set-top box

This has brought a bottleneck to the business development of broadband operators, and cannot provide more networks for users to use

However, if the operator installs multiple ports on the set-top box so that the set-top box can access multiple networks in order to solve the above problems, this increases the hardware cost and requires two physical network cables to be connected, which is not beautiful and increases the network cost. maintenance cost
