Flow collecting device and system and method for directional flow accounting

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of accounting control, in particular to a flow collecting device and a system and method for directional flow accounting. The directional flow accounting based on service content is achieved in the offline accounting scene under the condition of not changing an original network structure, and the original call ticket of a directional user is sent to a call ticket combination gateway through a packet switching gateway. The flow collecting device carries out beam split collection on user access internet service data and carries out DPI detection on the service data to determine the differentiation flow of the directional user. A differentiation flow call ticket is generated. The call ticket combination gateway carries out call ticket combination processing according to the matching degree of the received original call ticket of the directional user and the differentiation flow call ticket of the directional user, and the combination call ticket of the directional user is generated. A service supporting system charges the directional user according to specific service feature recognition in the combination call ticket.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of billing control, in particular to a flow collection device, a directional flow billing system and a method. Background technique [0002] With the popularization of 3G technology and smart terminals, the global Internet is changing from PC-Internet to Mobile-Internet, and 3G mobile data services, mainly videophone, streaming media and high-speed data download, are gradually becoming the focus of the telecom industry chain and development direction. Operators' billing strategies and capabilities are directly related to their competitiveness and business revenue in the mobile Internet market.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] 1. The billing method is not flexible: the billing package is too thick, and traffic billing can only be performed according to the business IP address;

[0004] 2. The configuration cost of the packet switching gateway is relatively high: the packet switching gateway manufacturer charges a license fee for each configured IP address;

[0005] 3. The business volume of the packet switching gateway is limited: the number of IP addresses configured for the packet switching gateway is limited, generally about 300;

[0006] 4. The configuration has an impact on the performance of the packet switching gateway: since the packet switching gateway is mainly a network device, the analysis of data packets and the labeling of traffic will have a huge impact on it
