In the following, a scenario applicable to the embodiment of the present application is described in detail with reference to fig. 1.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario 100 suitable for use in embodiments of the present application. As shown in fig. 1, the application scenario 100 includes a terminal device 101, a proxy gateway 102, a proxy server 103, and a destination server 104. The terminal equipment and the target server can perform message interaction through the proxy gateway and the proxy server. For example, the proxy gateway and the proxy server forward a request packet sent by the terminal device to the destination server, and then forward a response packet sent by the destination server to the terminal device. The proxy gateway may be a software module in the terminal device, or may also be a device independent from the terminal device, which is not limited in this application. It should be understood that when the proxy gateway is one software module in the terminal device, the message interaction between the proxy gateway and the terminal device is the message transfer between different software modules in the terminal device.

It should be appreciated that a proxy server (proxy server) is used to proxy a network user to retrieve network information. The proxy server can be vividly understood as a transfer station of the network information, which is an intermediate proxy mechanism between a personal network and an internet service provider and is responsible for forwarding legal network information, controlling and registering the forwarding. The proxy server is an intermediate program which is a server and a client and is mainly used for forwarding network access requests of a client system. However, rather than simply forwarding the request to the real internet server, the proxy server may also control the user's behavior, make decisions on the received client requests, and filter the user's requests according to filtering rules.

By means of the proxy server, the network administrator can implement a more stringent security policy than with packet filtering routers, unlike using a general packet filtering router to manage the flow of internet services through a firewall, the proxy server works by installing dedicated code (proxy service) on the proxy gateway for each required application. If the network administrator does not install a proxy service code for a particular service, the service will not be supported and the corresponding client request will not be forwarded through the firewall. Also, such proxy service code can be configured to support only those portions of a service that a network administrator considers acceptable, and not others.

Terminal equipment in embodiments of the present application may refer to user equipment, an access terminal, a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a remote terminal, a mobile device, a user terminal, a wireless communication device, a user agent, or a user device. The terminal device may also be a cellular phone, a cordless phone, a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phone, a Wireless Local Loop (WLL) station, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a handheld device with Wireless communication function, a computing device or other processing device connected to a Wireless modem, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, a terminal device in a fifth generation (5 th generation,5 g) Network or a terminal device in a future evolution Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), and the like, which is not limited in this embodiment.

In order to facilitate better understanding of the technical solutions of the present application, the technical solutions of the present application related to the related art will be described below.

1. Network diagnostic tool (packet internet groper, ping): the method is a computer network tool and is used for determining whether a local host can successfully exchange (send and receive) data packets with another host, and then whether transmission control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP) parameters are correctly set, whether the operation is normal and whether the network is smooth can be inferred according to returned information. The exchanged data packets may be referred to as ping messages, and the ping messages may include request messages (ping request messages) and response messages (ping reply messages). That is, according to the transmission time of the ping message and the number of successful responses, the packet loss rate (packet loss rate) and the packet round-trip time can be estimated.

2. Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP), user Datagram Protocol (UDP), TCP, and the like: are all sub-protocols of the TCP/IP protocol cluster, wherein ICMP is used to convey control messages and not used to transport user data, while TCP and UDP are used to transport user data.

3. ICMP message: the method comprises two types of messages, namely an ICMP error report message and an ICMP inquiry message. ping message belongs to one of ICMP inquiry messages, and can be used to measure the delay and packet loss rate of information passing through a certain server.

4. And (3) stacking: which may also be referred to as stacking or pushing, refers to inserting a new element into a stack. A stack (stack), also known as a stack, is an arithmetic-limited linear table that defines insertion and deletion operations only at the tail of the table, referred to as the top of the stack, versus the other end as the bottom of the stack. The push is to put the new element on the top of the stack element to make it become the new top of the stack element. In addition, deleting an element from a stack, also known as popping or popping, deletes the top-of-stack element, leaving its neighbors as new top-of-stack elements.

5. NAT translation table: a network address translation protocol (NAT) table may be understood as a process of processing and forwarding a message recorded in the NAT table when a server processes and forwards the message, and is used for processing a subsequent related message. Alternatively, it can be understood that the NAT translation table is mainly used to map IP addresses and port numbers of packets to other IP addresses and port numbers when data packets are sent from one network to another.

The application provides a method for processing ping messages by a proxy server, so that a user can measure the time delay and the packet loss rate of information passing through the proxy server through the ping messages when surfing the Internet through the proxy server.

Fig. 2 shows a schematic flow chart of a method for processing a ping message, which is proposed in the present application, and the method 200 includes:

s201, the proxy gateway obtains a first ping request message, where a Source Internet Protocol (SIP) address of the first ping request message is an IP address of the terminal device, and a Destination Internet Protocol (DIP) address is an IP address of the destination server.

Specifically, in this embodiment of the present application, when the proxy gateway is independent of the terminal device, the manner of acquiring the first ping request packet by the proxy gateway is as follows: the terminal device sends a first ping request message to the proxy gateway, so that the proxy gateway receives the first ping request message. Optionally, when the proxy gateway is a software module in the terminal device, the manner of acquiring the first ping request message by the proxy gateway is as follows: the proxy gateway obtains the first ping request message from other software modules of the terminal equipment.

It should be understood that when the proxy gateway is a software module in the terminal device, the IP address of the proxy gateway is the same as the IP address of the terminal device.

And S202, the proxy gateway generates a second ping request message according to the first ping request message, wherein the SIP address of the second ping request message is the IP address of the proxy gateway, the DIP address is the IP address of the proxy server, and the payload (payload) comprises the payload of the first ping request message and the IP address of the destination server.

Specifically, in this embodiment of the present application, when the proxy gateway generates the second ping request message according to the first ping request message, the proxy gateway pushes the IP address of the destination server into the payload of the first ping request message, so that the payload of the generated second ping message includes the payload of the first ping request message and the IP address of the destination server.

Optionally, the second ping request message may further include authentication information of the proxy gateway. The authentication information of the proxy gateway may be magic num.

S203, the proxy gateway sends a second ping request message to the proxy server, and correspondingly, the proxy server receives the second ping request message.

And S204, after the proxy server determines that the IP address of the proxy gateway is included in the database, a third ping request message is generated according to the second ping request message, the SIP address of the third ping request message is the IP address of the proxy server, and the DIP address is the IP address of the destination server.

Specifically, in this embodiment of the application, the proxy server may query or match in the database of the proxy server according to the IP address of the proxy gateway in the second ping request message, and generate the third ping request message according to the second ping request message after determining that the database of the proxy server includes the IP address of the proxy gateway. In addition, when the proxy server generates the third ping request message, the proxy server may determine the IP address of the destination server in the payload of the second ping request message as the DIP address of the third ping request message.

Optionally, a payload of the third ping request message includes authentication information of the proxy gateway and an IP address of the proxy gateway.

In a possible implementation manner, the proxy server may query or match the authentication information of the proxy gateway and the IP address of the proxy gateway in the database at the same time, and generate the third ping request message according to the second ping request message after determining that the database includes the authentication information of the proxy gateway and the IP address of the proxy gateway at the same time.

Optionally, the database is a database a of the proxy server. It should be understood that the proxy server may record the authentication information of the proxy gateway and the IP address of the proxy gateway into the database a of the proxy server when the proxy gateway is registered with the proxy server.

Alternatively, the authentication information of the proxy gateway may be a magic num (magic num) determined after negotiation with the proxy server. For example, when the proxy gateway registers with the proxy server, negotiation with the proxy server is performed, and the magic number is determined.

In another possible implementation manner, the proxy server may also query or match the metadata of the second ping request message and the IP address of the proxy gateway in the database at the same time, and generate the third ping request message according to the second ping request message after determining that the database includes the metadata of the second ping request message and the IP address of the proxy gateway.

It should be understood that the metadata of the second ping request message may be identification information of the terminal device, and the identification information of the terminal device is included in the ping message, for example, the payloads of the first ping request message to the third ping request message and the payloads of the first ping response message to the third ping response message each include the identification information of the terminal device. Alternatively, the identification information of the terminal device may be referred to as a user identification.

S205, the proxy server sends a third ping request message to the destination server, and the destination server receives the third ping request message accordingly.

And S206, the destination server generates a third ping response message according to the third ping request message, wherein the SIP address of the third ping response message is the IP address of the destination server, the DIP address is the IP address of the proxy server, and the payload is the same as the payload of the third ping request message.

Optionally, when the payload of the third ping request message includes the authentication information of the proxy gateway and the IP address of the proxy gateway, the payload of the third ping response message also includes the authentication information of the proxy gateway and the IP address of the proxy gateway.

And S207, the destination server sends a third ping response message to the proxy server, and correspondingly, the proxy server receives the third ping response message.

And S208, the proxy server generates a first ping response message according to the third ping response message, wherein the SIP address of the first ping response message is the IP address of the proxy server, the DIP address is the IP address of the proxy gateway, and the payload comprises the payload of the third ping response message and the IP address of the destination server.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, before the proxy server generates the first ping response message according to the third ping response message, the proxy server may query the authentication information of the proxy gateway, or may also query the NAT translation table to determine whether the ping message may be forwarded.

It should be understood that the proxy server querying the authentication information of the proxy gateway may be that the proxy server queries the database for the authentication information of the proxy gateway, for example, when the payload of the third ping response message includes the authentication information of the proxy gateway and the IP address of the proxy gateway, the proxy server queries whether the database includes the authentication information of the proxy gateway.

It should also be understood that, the proxy server may query the NAT translation table, where the proxy server determines, according to the SIP address and the DIP address of the third ping response message, that the NAT translation table includes translation information of the SIP address and the DIP address.

Optionally, the first ping response message may further include authentication information of the proxy gateway. The authentication information of the proxy gateway may be magic num.

S209, the proxy server sends a first ping response message to the proxy gateway, and correspondingly, the proxy gateway receives the first ping response message.

It should be appreciated that the payload of the first ping response message is the same as the payload of the second ping request message.

And S210, the proxy gateway generates a second ping response message according to the first ping response message, wherein the SIP address of the second ping response message is the IP address of the destination server, and the DIP address is the IP address of the terminal equipment.

Specifically, in this embodiment of the application, when the proxy gateway is independent of the terminal device, the proxy gateway may send the second ping response message to the terminal device. When the proxy gateway is a software module in the terminal device, the second ping response message may be transmitted to a corresponding software module in the terminal device. This is not a limitation of the present application.

Therefore, the proxy server forwards the ping message, so that the time delay and the packet loss rate of the information passing through the proxy server can be measured through the ping message.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the proxy server may be an alternative point of presence (POP), which may be referred to as a point of presence.

It should be understood that, in the various embodiments of the present application, the sequence numbers of the above-mentioned processes do not mean the execution sequence, and the execution sequence of each process should be determined by its function and inherent logic, and should not constitute any limitation to the implementation process of the embodiments of the present application.
