IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) service authentication method, system and access equipment

Abstract

The invention discloses an IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) service authentication method, an IPTV service authentication system and access equipment, and relates to the technical field of IPTV. The IPTV service authentication method comprises the following steps that: access equipment acquires a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) discovery message which is initiated by a terminal and carries an encrypted access account number and an access password, wherein the access account number is a network protocol IPoE account number borne by the Ethernet; the access equipment initiates an authentication request to a remote authentication dial in user service (RADIUS) according to the DHCP discovery message and the access information of the access equipment, so that the RADIUS decrypts and authenticates the encrypted access account and access password; under the condition that the authentication is passed, the access equipment obtains a decrypted access account and access password returned by the RADIUS and information of an IPoE domain allocated to the user; and the access equipment allocates an IPoE domain and an address to the terminal according to the content returned by the RADIUS so as to form a user session on the access equipment. Therefore, the network architecture is simplified, and session-level access based on IPoE is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of Internet TV, in particular to an IPTV service authentication method and system. Background technique [0002] With the vigorous development of IPTV business, the optical network reconstruction work of various operators has been effectively promoted. Carrying IPTV services through the network has become a mainstream trend, and the scale of IPTV users of various domestic operators is growing rapidly. Currently, IPTV services are still dominated by PPPOE access. In this access mode, since the multicast replication point is on the BRAS, the access layer bandwidth and network investment are very large. At the same time, with the rapid growth of installed capacity of TV users and the launch of high-definition program sources, the demand for link bandwidth from the BRAS downlink to the aggregation switch and OLT will increase geometrically, causing bottlenecks in network bandwidth and service quality. If the ...

Problems solved by technology

In this access mode, since the multicast replication point is on the BRAS, the access layer bandwidth and network investment are very large

At the same time, with the rapid growth of the installed capacity of TV users and the launch of high-definition program sources, the demand for link bandwidth from the BRAS downlink to the aggregation switch and OLT will increase geometrically, resulting in bottlenecks in network bandwidth and service quality

If you only rely on optimization and expansion of the access network to solve the problem, when the network becomes larger and larger, management becomes more and more difficult

This makes the user's TV service quality unable to be guaranteed
