Method and device for distributing port block resource

Abstract

The invention provides a method and a device for distributing a port block resource, wherein the method and the device belong to the field of network technology. The method comprises the steps of receiving a connecting request of first user equipment, wherein the connecting request is transmitted from a broadband network gateway (BNG) and carries first user equipment information; determining whether a target user set exists according to the first user equipment information, wherein the first user equipment is affiliated to the target user set; if no target user set is determined according to the first user equipment information, transmitting a port block distribution instruction to the BNG, wherein the port block distribution instruction is used for instructing distribution of a first port block resource to the first user equipment; and existence of the target user set is determined according to the first user equipment information, transmitting a port block updating instruction to the BNG, wherein the port block updating instruction is used for instructing sharing of a second port block resource of the target user set to the first user equipment. The method and the device have advantages of saving calculation resource of the BNG and supplying a management mechanism for aiming at the user equipment.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of network technologies, and in particular to a method and device for allocating port block resources. Background technique [0002] In recent years, network technology has developed rapidly. In order to enable each user equipment in the internal network to communicate with network elements on the external network, the user equipment will be assigned an external network address when connecting to the external network. Nowadays, the network traffic of user equipment is increasing day by day, and the margin of external network addresses is close to exhaustion. In order to alleviate the current situation of lack of external network addresses, multiple user equipments can share one external network address, and a method of allocating port block resources has emerged. The port block resource may include an external network address, a port block index, and a range of external network port numbers. [0003] General...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] BNG is allocated according to the use of port block resources, so that there is basically no difference in the allocation method of each user equipment, resulting in the inability to allocate port block resources based on user equipment, and the allocation process lacks a management mechanism for user equipment
