Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the network address translation technology in the communication field, in particular to a method and system for media stream traversal network address translation. Background technique

[0002] IMS is a subsystem supporting IP multimedia services proposed by the third generation mobile communication partner organization. IMS uses the SIP call control mechanism to create, manage and terminate various types of multimedia services. This kind of multimedia communication is not only simple video and audio communication, but also includes instant messaging, co-site browsing, collaborative work, streaming media and other services, especially the services of new communication methods and traditional voice integration. It can be said that IMS provides service integration. Foundation.

[0003] An important feature of IMS is its wide adaptability to various access technologies. At present, the IMS proposed by 3GPP can support 2G and 3G...

Embodiment Construction

[0071] In order to solve the problem of media stream transmission caused by overlapping addresses of different users, the present invention binds an identifier capable of identifying the network where the user is located when establishing a media stream mapping relationship for forwarding media streams. Further, when the media stream is subsequently forwarded, the source address in the media stream and the identifier capable of identifying the network where the user is located are used to match the media stream mapping relationship to determine the port for forwarding the media.

[0072] This embodiment is mainly described in detail by taking a VLAN user of a virtual local area network as an example to use an IMS service, wherein the ID that can identify the network where the user is located is a VLAN ID.

[0073] As shown in FIG. 7A , users of different VLANs access the border network function BGF (or Policy Enforcement Function, namely PEF) through different physical ports, a...
