Internet protocol IP address management system and method

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides an internet protocol IP address management system and method, relates to the field of communication, and can adjust an IP address distributed to an address pool of BRAS (Broadband Remote Access Server) equipment according to the use rate of the address pool of the BRAS equipment. The BRAS equipment is configured to detect the use rate of the self address pool, and send the detected use rate of the address pool of the BRAS equipment to an address pooled management application; the address pooled management application is configured to send address configuration information to the BRAS equipment when the received use rate of the address pool of the BRAS equipment is greater than a use rate threshold value; and the BRAS equipment is also configured to add a new IP address into the address pool of the BRAS equipment according to address configuration information. The internet protocol IP address management system and method disclosed by the invention are used for managing the IP address.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to an Internet Protocol IP address management system and method. Background technique [0002] Metropolitan Area Network (English full name: Metropolitan Area Network, English abbreviation: MAN) is a computer communication network established within a city. In the hierarchical structure of the metropolitan area network, the metropolitan area network service control layer is located at the intersection of the access layer of the metropolitan area network and the core layer of the metropolitan area network. The device is one of the important network elements in the service control layer of the MAN. The BRAS device is generally responsible for terminating the point-to-point protocol (English full name: Point-to-Point Protocol OverEthernet, English abbreviation: PPPoE) connection on the user's Ethernet and converging the user's traffic. At the same time, it also cooperates with the authentica...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] With the development of Internet technology, the number of broadband network access users has increased tremendously. With the increase of the number of users, the number of users carried by different BRAS devices in the metropolitan area network has become unbalanced, making different BRAS devices There are large differences in the amount of required IP address resources, which leads to uneven utilization of IP address resources in the address pools of different BRAS devices

In the prior art, when the above problems are found, the telecom operator adjusts the address pool configured on the BRAS equipment, but this method is relatively cumbersome, and cannot timely adjust the address pool of the BRAS equipment according to the capacity change of the broadband access users carried by the BRAS equipment. The pool is adjusted, which damages the effect of BRAS equipment address allocation, and reduces the utilization rate of IP address resources, resulting in waste of IP address resources.
