Abstract
The invention discloses a flow charging method and a client side. The method comprises: a client side monitors a reception message and a sending message, determines network segments to which the messages belong according to a preset strategy, and adds the flow information of the reception message and the sending message to the flow of the network segments to which the messages belong; and according to the charging strategy information of a charging server, the client side sends the obtained flow which corresponds to the network segments to the charging server to charge according to the flow corresponding to the network segments. In the invention, the client side monitors the reception message and the sending message, collects self flow information and reports to the charging server so as to reduce the burden for a gateway to carry out flow statistics, bring convenience for improving the network access efficiency and avoid network bottleneck caused by flow statistics by the gateway.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the communications field, relate in particular to a kind of method and client of charge on traffic.
Background technology
Charge on traffic is a kind of mode of the network billing of generally using.The charge on traffic system of present stage cooperates by gateway and accounting server basically and realizes.The user is by authenticating online, and the visit outer net is added up this user's flow by gateway at this moment, regularly the data on flows of adding up is sent to accounting server then.Gateway normally writes down flow according to source IP address and purpose IP address, and these records temporarily leave in the internal memory of gateway, and the regular then online flow information with the user reports accounting server.By accounting server this user's expense is calculated.
As shown in Figure 1a, the networking structure for existing charge on traffic system comprises Authentication Client, gateway, Verification System and charge system (accounting server).Wherein, Verification System and charge system are normally synthesized on a station server.The realization of chargeing is mainly finished by two steps: gateway regularly sends billing update packet and accounting completion packet to accounting server, and accounting server charges according to billing update packet and the accounting completion packet that gateway sends.Concrete charging flow comprises: behind the Authentication Client authentication success, gateway is set up a session for each user, carries out communication with accounting server then.Gateway regularly sends billing update packet to accounting server according to metering period, wherein carries flow information.Flow information comprises inflow message byte number, flows out message byte number and source IP address and purpose IP address field.Accounting server charges to this user according to the flow information and the IP address that report.
Because all flow informations are unified on the gateway and add up, the gateway burden is very big, causes easily failing in time to handle flow information and forms network bottleneck.

Embodiment
Core concept of the present invention is: by client statistics self flow information and report accounting server, reduce the traffic statistics burden of gateway.
The invention provides a kind of method of charge on traffic, shown in Fig. 1 b, may further comprise the steps:
In this method, client is intercepted and is received message and send message, adds up self flow information and reports accounting server, has reduced the burden that gateway carries out traffic statistics, is of value to and improves access to netwoks efficient, avoids gateway to carry out the network bottleneck that traffic statistics cause.
The present invention also provides a kind of method of charge on traffic, as shown in Figure 2, may further comprise the steps:
Step 201, client initiates to reach the standard grade authentication to access device.
This authentication mode can be protocol authentication modes such as 802.1x, Portal or VPN1.
Step 202, behind the authentication success, client sends to charge to accounting server and begins request.
Concrete, client receives the IP address of the accounting server of certificate server transmission behind authentication success, send to charge to accounting server according to this IP address to begin request; Perhaps the IP address of pre-configured accounting server on the client sends charging according to this IP address to accounting server and begins request; The form of obtaining of this IP address is not limited to above two kinds, for example can also be after the client certificate success IP address of accounting server to be sent to client by gateway.
Step 203, accounting server send the request back message using that charges, and wherein carry charging policy information and network segment information.
Wherein, charging policy information comprises flow, the network segment and flow information report cycle, and accounting server can charge respectively at the different network segments.
Need to prove that the network segment among the present invention can segment according to actual needs, be not limited to two kinds of dividing mode of Intranet of the prior art and outer net.
Step 204, client are intercepted to receive message and send message and are carried out traffic statistics.
Concrete, client is intercepted network interface card transmitting-receiving message, and each is received message, carry out XOR according to its source IP address and mask, obtain the residing network segment of source IP address, determine to receive the affiliated network segment of message, the flow that receives message is joined in the inflow flow of this network segment.Each is sent message, carry out XOR, obtain the residing network segment in purpose IP address, determine to send the affiliated network segment of message, the flow that sends message is joined in the outflow flow of this network segment according to the purpose IP address and the mask that send message.
Step 205, client, are chargeed with network segment corresponding flow by the accounting server basis sending to accounting server with network segment corresponding flow of obtaining according to the charging policy information of accounting server.
Concrete, client will be packaged into billing update packet with network segment corresponding flow according to charging policy information, periodically send to accounting server.Comprise the byte number of the message of reception, the information such as byte number of transmission message in the billing update packet.
Step 206, accounting server returns the charging back message using according to the customer flow information calculations expense that client reports.
Step 207 when client rolls off the production line, sends accounting completion packet to accounting server.
Need to prove, consider that there is the situation of abnormal off-line (for example outage) in client, therefore, in the method provided by the invention, when accounting server is not received the billing update packet of client continuously, roll off the production line according to pre-conditioned definite client, this is pre-conditioned can be time of the billing update packet of not receiving continuously client or number of times etc.In addition, also can respond to determine connection status between client and the accounting server, when accounting server can't receive the heartbeat message of client, can judge that equally client rolls off the production line by heartbeat message and heartbeat.
In addition, among the present invention, after client certificate passed through, if the driving of client itself can not be carried out traffic statistics, client can also be used to carry out the driving of traffic statistics to the accounting server request, used the driving that obtains to carry out traffic statistics then.Certainly, this driving and being limited to from the accounting server request obtains.
By adopting method provided by the invention, client is intercepted and is received message and send message, adds up self flow information and reports accounting server, has therefore reduced the burden that gateway carries out traffic statistics, be of value to and improve access to netwoks efficient, avoid gateway to carry out the network bottleneck that traffic statistics cause.
Based on the technical conceive identical with method shown in Figure 2 with above-mentioned Fig. 1 b, the present invention also provides a kind of client, this client can carry out with Fig. 1 b and method shown in Figure 2 in the client identical functions, as shown in Figure 3, this client comprises:
