User access method and apparatus based on multiple users

Abstract

The invention relates to a multiserver-based user access method and device, mainly comprising: first, configuring weight information of several AAA (Authentication, Authorization and Accounting) servers in network; then, as a user accesses to the network, selecting an AAA server according to the weight information to process authentication, authorization and accounting messages in the user access course. Therefore, it can effectively prevent overweight burden of a single AAA server in master-backup mode and simultaneously effectively reduces probability of network jam. In a word, it can avoid failure in authorization or accounting operation in the network access course.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of network communication, in particular to a multi-server-based user access method and device. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of network communication technology, various network applications are increasing day by day. At the same time, a large number of users with scattered physical locations can use devices such as Modem (modem) to conduct random access to other networks from different physical locations through the public network. [0003] In the process of network access, users can transmit their own information to the corresponding network, and can also get the information they want from the corresponding network. It is precisely because of the two-way data flow inside and outside that network security becomes an important issue. For this reason, the management of users becomes the main task of the network access server. The content managed by the network access server includ...

Problems solved by technology

[0007] From the server selection policy in the active / standby mode above, we can see that when a large number of users under the BRAS go online, if they all choose to send authentication request packets to the active RADIUS authentication server, they all choose to send accounting to the active RADIUS accounting server after they go online. message, it is likely to cause the main RADIUS server to be overloaded and DOWN (deactivate) the machine, that is, it cannot work normally.

[0008] In addition, due to network congestion, some users may not be able to go online or affect the online speed

Therefore, the application of the above-mentioned active-standby server selection strategy in a large-scale network system is likely to cause performance degradation or partial data loss
