Embodiment
The present invention adopts the mode of floating IP address binding, it realizes that principle is: an IP address is only used in the connection of an equity, and in a plurality of network card adapters, have only one to be the main work of using, other are as standby, though from physically also being connected on the network, binding IP address not on it is in idle condition.Mode by this Floating IP address, the signaling IAD externally is equivalent to have only a network address, and outside application server need not be concerned about it specifically is with which network card adapter to communicate by letter yet, as shown in Figure 3, be the signaling IAD networking schematic diagram that two network card adapters are shared an IP address.Among the figure, the signaling IAD has NIC_1 and two network card adapters of NIC_2, communicates by letter with network card adapter NIC_0 (its IP address the is IP_0) realization in the application server by a floating IP address IP_1.
The core that realizes Floating IP address is dynamically to carry out the maintenance of the equipment control of network card adapter, IP address and routing iinformation in running.
In the inventive method, need to guarantee that the network card adapter that possesses at least more than two in the signaling IAD is available.
The state of all network card adapters of device management module periodic scanning in the gateway after the availability of network interface card judged, reports Service Processing Module in the gateway with normally functioning network card adapter, upgrades a network card status information table.After the signaling IAD started, device management module selected an available network interface card to carry out the network connection from the network card status information table
System dynamics IP address and routing iinformation are tied on the selecteed network interface card after the success, created SOCKET and initiated connection to the application server end, carries out data communication.
In communication process, may occur unusually, for example, hardware faults such as switch ports themselves fault, netting twine damage, network interface card fault.When fault takes place, the signaling accessing gateway equipment is found can't guarantee and the application server proper communication, after surpassing certain hour, think that promptly this path can't use, the IP address is deleted from the network card adapter of original binding, from the network card status information table, select an other available network interface card simultaneously, IP address and routing iinformation are tied on this network interface card, initiate to connect to the application server side then, proceed communication, as Fig. 4, shown in Figure 5.Fig. 4 is main communication path schematic diagram with network card adapter (network interface card 1).As shown in the figure, the IP address of network interface card 1 is 10.10.10.2, and the IP address of application server is 10.10.10.3; After network interface card 1 breaks down, as shown in Figure 5, should interrupt communicating to connect of network interface card 1 and application server, set up communicating to connect of network interface card 2 and application server simultaneously.According to said method of the present invention, earlier with IP address 10.10.10.2 from network interface card 1 deletion, with this IP address and network interface card 2 bindings, the IP address that network interface card 2 promptly is set is 10.10.10.2 again, be provided with successfully after, initiate to connect to application server, proceed to communicate by letter.
