Description

A kind of application method of elongated prefix, device and system
Technical field
The present invention relates to the communications field, be specifically related to a kind of application method, device and system of elongated prefix.
Background technology
(3rd Generation Partnership Project, 3GPP) (Evolved Packet System EPS) can show as framework shown in Figure 1 to the grouping system of evolution to third generation partner program.The EPS network architecture of non-roaming scene shown in Figure 1 is by universal mobile telecommunications system land radio access web (the Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network of evolution, E-UTRAN), mobile management unit (Mobility Management Entity, MME), gateway (Serving Gateway, S-GW), grouped data network gateway (Packet Data Network Gateway, P-GW or PDN GW), home subscriber server (Home Subscriber Server, HSS), "Policy and Charging Rules Function (Policy andCharging Rules Function, PCRF) form by entity and other support nodes.
IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6) is the Internet engineering duty group (Internet EngineeringTask Force, IETF) IP next generation protocol that is used for substituting current edition IP agreement (IPv4) of design.The version number of IP agreement is 4 (abbreviating IPv4 as) at present, and its next version is exactly IPv6.Compare with IPv4, at first, IPv6 has bigger address space.Regulation IP address size is 32 among the IPv4, and the individual address of 2^32-1 (symbol ^ represents ascending power) is promptly arranged; And the length of IP address is 128 among the IPv6, and 2^128-1 address promptly arranged.Secondly, IPv6 uses littler routing table.The address assignment of IPv6 is followed the principle of cluster (Aggregation) at the very start, this makes that router can be with a record (Entry) expression a slice subnet in routing table, reduce the length of routing table in the router greatly, improved the speed of router forwarding packet.The 3rd, IPv6 has increased multicast (Multicast) support of enhancing and the support (FlowControl) of convection current, this makes multimedia application on the network that the chance of tremendous development arranged, and (Qualityof Service, QoS) control provides the good network platform for service quality.IPv6 has also added the support to automatic configuration (AutoConfiguration).This is to the improvement of DHCP agreement and expansion, makes that the management of network (especially local area network (LAN)) is convenient and quick.Simultaneously, IPv6 has increased security consideration when design.The user can encrypt and the IP message is carried out verification the data of network layer in using the IPv6 network, has strengthened the fail safe of network greatly.
3GPP supports the IPv6 function, and subscriber equipment (UE) can be set up IPv6 packet data network connected reference IPv6 business.3GPPUE sets up the connection that the packet data network type is IPv6 to network requests, and network receives that the request back is in conjunction with user signing contract information and network self support situation, to qualified UE distributing IP v6 network prefix.The automatic method of salary distribution of current 3GPP network unified employing stateless is user's distributing IP v6 prefix, as shown in Figure 2, after UE finishes the packet data network connection, can send route requests (Router Solicitation to P-GW, RS) to realize the distribution of network address prefix, P-GW receives that (Router Advertisement, RA) allocated length is 64 an IPv6 prefix to UE transmission route announcement in the request back.If UE does not send RS, P-GW also can periodically send the IPv6 prefix information that RA is distributed with announcement to UE.UE generates back 64 interface identifier (Interface Identifier) automatically to form 128 complete IPv6 addresses after receiving 64 IPv6 prefixes.
Support route forwarding function along with wireless network provides the increase of bandwidth ability, UE to can be used as mobile wireless gateway equipment, this moment, UE can be used as the outlet gateway of several subnets, was responsible for the configuration and the message forwarding capability of subnet.As shown in Figure 3, UE has been disposed three subnets as gateway, and UE is these three subnet distributing IP v6 prefixes (64).Under the scene of Fig. 3, network needs to distribute the IPv6 prefix that is shorter than 64 to continue to mark off on this short prefix basis/the subnet use of 64 prefixes after giving to UE.Generally, network can be the IPv6 prefix that UE distributes corresponding length in conjunction with user signing contract information according to the length of UE request.
In the DHCPv6 pd flow process of at present using RFC3633 to describe as shown in Figure 4, wherein by terminal as the client of DHCPv6 short prefix to EPC network application distributing IP v6, idiographic flow is described below:
Step 401 obtains the IPv6 prefix of 64 bit lengths after step 410:UE initialization and be attached to the EPC network by advertising of route message.Owing to be prior art, therefore repeat no more.
Step 411:UE initiates to have state DHCPv6 prefix authorization flow, sends the IPv6 short prefix of DHCPv6 solicitation message to ask certain-length that comprises the IPv6 prefix length information to P-GW (as authorizing router).
Need to prove that UE may carry quick affirmation option (RAPID_COMMIToption) so that simplify the DHCPv6 flow process in this message, directly enter step 415 in this case.
Step 412:P-GW sends the DHCPv6 bulletin can provide request with announcement business in the mode of broadcasting packet to UE.
Step 413:UE sends the DHCPv6 request message to P-GW after receiving the DHCPv6 broadcasting packet.
Step 414:P-GW sends the DHCPv6 response message to UE, wherein comprises the information such as the short prefix of IPv6 of distributing to UE.
Step 415:UE uses the short prefix of the IPv6 that gets access to carry out the IPv6 address assignment.
Though technology shown in Figure 4 can solve the problem of the short prefix of terminal to apply IPv6, has following defective when it is applied in the EPC system:
1.3GPP need introduce the mechanism of stateful dhcpv6 distributing IP v6 address again, and UE must support the client of dhcpv6; This variation obviously influence to network is bigger, and is unfavorable for level and smooth, the seamless evolution of network;
2. because the restriction of RFC3633 agreement itself must keep 64 fixed length prefix and elongated prefix simultaneously in the PDN connection of UE, and elongated prefix and fixed length prefix can not cover mutually; This space that causes the IPv6 address prefix is by unnecessary waste.
Have again, therefore the mechanism of above-mentioned stateful dhcpv6 distributing IP v6 address is based upon on the fixed length prefix, and certainly will there be numerous and diverse, inflexible, inflexible shortcoming in the short prefix application process that realizes based on the mechanism of stateful dhcpv6 distributing IP v6 address.
