Abstract

The invention relates to a multi-server-based user access method and device. The present invention mainly includes: firstly, configuring the weight information of several AAA (authentication, authentication, billing) servers in the network; afterward, when the user accesses the network, selects an AAA server to connect the user according to the weight information of each AAA server. The authentication, authentication and accounting messages in the process of entering the network are processed. Therefore, the present invention can effectively avoid the overload of a single AAA server in the active / standby mode, and also effectively reduce the probability of network congestion. In a word, the implementation of the present invention can effectively improve the possibility of users successfully accessing the network, and avoid authentication or charging operation failures in the process of accessing the network due to network congestion or overload of a single AAA server.

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...

Embodiment Construction

[0048] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a method and device for selecting an AAA (authentication, authorization, and accounting) server when a large number of users go online in a large-capacity BRAS system, so as to realize load balancing and avoid overloading of some servers. Re-causing user access failure.

[0049] In the present invention, the AAA server includes but is not limited to a RADIUS server, and the specific implementation of the present invention will be described below by taking the RADIUS server as an example.

[0050]That is to say, in a large-capacity BRAS system, when there are multiple RADIUS servers that can back up each other, the load balancing method provided by the present invention can be used to realize the distribution of users, thereby effectively avoiding network congestion and single RADIUS servers. A server overload condition occurs.

[0051] The specific implementation of the method provided by the present invention wil...
