Ethernet confirming access method

Abstract

The Ethernet confirming access method is a wideband access method for computer network. The present invention adopts unique double web page server technology, and performs the access control and bandwidth limitation via the user access list operation. The unique forced entrance guard technology can re-orient the unauthorized user request imperatively. The present invention realizes the conformation, authorization, charge and bandwidth limitation of users via web page confirming process without needing any client end software, and this simplifies the user's operation, is independent with the user's operation platform and can operate simple and practically.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a broadband access method in a computer network, in particular to an Ethernet access method. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of the Internet (Internet), broadband access methods emerge in endlessly, among which Ethernet gradually occupies most of the broadband access market due to its high performance-price ratio. However, the traditional Ethernet access method lacks manageability and cannot implement functions such as user authentication, authorization, and accounting. Operators can only use a monthly subscription, which may be unfair to a certain extent for both users and operators. However, several common Ethernet access methods that appeared later solved the functions of user authentication and authorization, but the client software must be installed on the user's host computer, and the operability is poor. The following describes these technologies respectively. Give a brief introduction: [000...

Problems solved by technology

However, the traditional Ethernet access method lacks manageability and cannot realize functions such as user authentication, authorization, and billing.

Operators can only use monthly subscription, which may be unfair to users and operators to a certain extent

However, several common Ethernet access methods that appeared later solved the functions of user authentication and authorization, but the client software must be installed on the user's host computer, and the operability is poor. The following describes these technologies respectively. Give a brief introduction:

[0003] ① The emergence of the point-to-point protocol (PPP over Ethernet, English abbreviation: PPPoE) authentication method on Ethernet has solved the manageability problem of Ethernet to a certain extent, but it requires users to install PPPoE client software (user operating system platforms are different) , the client software is also different), which increases the cost of operation and engineering maintenance

At the same time, because the packets sent and received by the user are all encapsulated by PPPoE, the processing load of the central processing unit (English abbreviation: CPU) of the user host and the PPPoE access device is increased, and the efficiency of data packet processing is reduced.

[0004] ②Dynamic Host Assignment Protocol (English abbreviation: DHCP) authentication, dynamically assigns Internet Protocol (English abbreviation: IP) addresses to users through the DHCP server (DHCP Server), but it is only suitable for fixed users to access the Internet, and can only count time, If traffic statistics are required, a switch that can count traffic must be equipped at the user access point. In addition, the prevention of address conflict and address theft also requires the cooperation of corresponding switches.
