Network management method based on quality of service

Abstract

The invention discloses a net managing method based on service quality, the method expands the radium server as service managing platform, decides the QoS tactics pointing to concrete net application; when user applies the service quality and authority to IDC, and provides service selecting information, IDC stores above information, and transmits the information to radius server; radius server identifies the user, determines the QoS tactics according to the attributes of user and the applied service type, when interacts user identification information with convergence layer appliance, the QoStactics are sent to convergence appliance, configures convergence appliance with QoS tactics, the convergence appliance configures the access layer appliance with the QoS tactics designed to point ataccess appliance; finally, uses the preset QoS tactics to serve user.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a network management method, in particular to a quality of service (QoS)-based network management method. Background technique [0002] In the current broadband metropolitan area network, the entire network usually consists of access layer devices, convergence layer devices, backbone layer devices, and network management platforms. When conducting business, an IDC (network data center, providing network content services) is also required to provide specific business functions. In order to manage Internet users, there is generally a set of user management platforms (such as radius server: authentication and accounting server, or other similar devices), it communicates with network devices and IDCs through a special authentication and accounting protocol (radius protocol: Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service remote dial-in user verification service, RFC2865, RFC2866), for users using the network Unified management ...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] Due to the distribution of user and service management and network service quality management on different devices, the existing network service quality technology is not closely integrated with practical applications. Due to the problem of design ideas, there is a lack of unity between service control and network control devices. The mutual interaction means of the whole network makes it difficult to uniformly manage and control the service quality of the entire network and users, which affects the further development of the broadband network.

Moreover, the policy server and its protocols and processing procedures are complex, which will not only increase the burden on the network, but also fail to manage the underlying devices such as Layer 2 switches, so to some extent, it still cannot ensure strict end-to-end QoS guarantees
