Description

Mobile node and heterogeneous network method for communicating and device in the control communication network
Technical field
The present invention relates to the edge router in the communication network, relate in particular in the edge router of communication network and be used for controlling mobile node and heterogeneous network communication node method for communicating and device.
Background technology
Existing the Internet mainly is based on the IPv4 agreement, along with Internet user's quantity constantly increases and the requirement of internet, applications is improved constantly, network design based on the IPv6 agreement is also carried out gradually, and increasing user wishes by various terminals, be connected to Internet by wireless network anywhere, realize mobile service, in order to support to solve the demand of mobile service, the IPv6 agreement is supported mobile IP technology.
The IPv6 node is by the IPv6/IPv4 network address and protocol converter (NAT-PT, Network Address Translator-Protocol Translator) and IPv4 node communication.If the IPv6 communication network is supported the mobility of IPv6 node, promptly the IPv6 node is a mobile node, then also will dispose the mobility that home agent (Home Agents) is supported the IPv6 node in the IPv6 territory.At the initial stage of IPv6 network design, the function of the IPv6/IPv4 network address and protocol converter and home agent all realizes with the edge router of IPv6 communication network (hereinafter to be referred as " IPv6 territory ") by being connected to IPv4 communication network (hereinafter to be referred as " IPv4 territory ") usually.Fig. 1 shows network topology structure schematic diagram in the prior art, and first edge router 11, second edge router 12 and the 3rd edge router 13 are connected to three communication subnets in IPv6 territory respectively, and all are connected to the IPv4 territory.Mobile IPv 6 node (hereinafter to be referred as " mobile node ") 20 belongs to the IPv6 communication subnet that first edge router 11 is had jurisdiction over, first edge router 11 is realized the function of the IPv6/IPv4 network address and protocol converter and home agent, and mobile node 20 is via the IPv4 node communication in first edge router 11 and the IPv4 territory.The network manager distributes the IPv4 address (usually, be referred to as temporary IP v4 address set) of some to give each edge router, by each edge router dynamic assignment IPv4 address give need with the mobile IPv 6 node of IPv4 node communication.
As shown in Figure 1, first edge router 11 is that mobile node 20 distributes an IPv4 address so that mobile node 20 and IPv4 node communication usually, claim this temporary IP v4 address that IPv4 address is a mobile node 20.First edge router 11 is to IPv4 territory broadcasting route advertisement message (perhaps routing iinformation message), usually, usually the relevant information that includes its all temporary IP v4 address in this route advertisement message promptly is used for indicating first edge router 11 can receive and transmit the packet of the IPv4 address that is sent to described temporary IP v4 address set.
First edge router 11 is based upon the protocol conversion process that the packet (or the IPv4 node mails to the packet of mobile node 20) that temporary IP v4 address that mobile node 20 distributes mobile node 20 is mail to the IPv4 node is carried out from IPv6 communication protocol to IPv4 communication protocol (or IPv4 communication protocol is to IPv6 communication protocol).
If mobile node 20 moves in another communication subnet (foreign subnet or access subnet) in the IPv6 territory that second edge router 12 had jurisdiction over, mobile node 20 still will be via first edge router 11 with communicating by letter of IPv4 node.At this moment, claim first edge router 11 to be the ownership place edge router of mobile node 20, second edge router 12 is the access edge router of mobile node 20.
Particularly, when mobile node 20 moved to the access subnet, at first the network prefix according to this access subnet of second edge router 12 broadcasting obtained an access network address (or being referred to as Care-of Address, COA, Care of Address); Perhaps distribute an access network address for it by the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server in this access subnet (not shown this Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server among Fig. 1 for simplicity's sake).Mobile node 20 sends a binding update messages by second edge router 12 to first edge router 11 then, to notify first edge router 11 its access network addresss.
At this moment, the packet that mails to mobile node 20 from the IPv4 node still is routed to first edge router 11, after based on the temporary IP v4 address of mobile node 20 this packet being carried out protocol conversion process from IPv4 communication protocol to IPv6 communication protocol by first edge router 11, utilize IP tunneling, mail to second edge router 12 again behind IPv6 packet header of interpolation before the packet after protocol conversion.Destination address is the access address of mobile node in the IPv6 packet header of this interpolation, and source address is the IPv6 address of first edge router 11.Second edge router 12 is transmitted this bag and is given mobile node 20, after mobile node 20 receives this packet, after removing the IPv6 packet header that first edge router 11 adds, obtain packet after this protocol conversion, the routed path of packet is shown in the two-way thick arrow among Fig. 1.
When mobile node 20 sends packet to the IPv4 node, utilize IP tunneling, the data of sending are surrounded by two-layer IP packet header, and the source address in one deck IP packet header, the inside is the belonging area network address of mobile node 20, and destination address is the IPv6 address of IPv4 node correspondence; The source address in one deck IP packet header, outside is the access network address of mobile node 20, and destination address is the IPv6 address of ownership place edge router.At first this packet sends to second edge router 12, second edge router 12 sends to first edge router 11 with this packet, first edge router 11 is carried out protocol conversion process from IPv4 communication protocol to IPv6 communication protocol based on the temporary IP v4 address of mobile node 20 to this packet, and then the packet after the protocol conversion process mail to the IPv4 node, the routed path of packet is shown in the two-way thick arrow among Fig. 1.
Find out by above packet routed path, the mobile node of being had jurisdiction over for first edge router 11, no matter whether it current at the ownership place subnet, its all will be with the packet IPv4 node communication via first edge router 11, the routed path of packet is optimized inadequately; Break down when first edge router 11 in addition, in the time of can not working, cause the termination of communicating by letter of its mobile node that moves to the access subnet of having jurisdiction over and IPv4 node.

Embodiment
Fig. 2 shows the packet routed path schematic diagram according to a specific embodiment of the present invention.Wherein, mobile node 20 belongs in the communication subnet of the first kind communication network that first edge router 11 had jurisdiction over, i.e. the ownership place subnet of mobile node 20; Mobile node 20 is currently located in another communication subnet of the first kind communication network that second edge router 12 had jurisdiction over, i.e. the access subnet of mobile node 20.
Here still being that example describes with the second class communication network (hereinafter to be referred as " IPv4 " territory) based on IPv4 communication protocol based on the first kind communication network (hereinafter to be referred as " IPv6 territory ") of IPv6 communication protocol.Wherein, the access subnet and the ownership place subnet of mobile node 20 all belong to the IPv6 territory, and the communication node in the second class communication network Access Network is the IPv4 node.
Concrete, when mobile node 20 moves to the access subnet in the IPv6 territory that second edge router 12 had jurisdiction over, at first need to obtain an access network address.Concrete, mobile node 20 can and obtain an access network address in conjunction with the part of its MAC Address according to the subnet information (for example this subnet address prefix) of this subnet of second edge router 12 broadcasting and (or be referred to as Care-of Address, COA, Care of Address), perhaps the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server in this subnet (not shown this Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server among Fig. 2 for simplicity's sake) request obtains an access network address.
Subsequently, mobile node 20 sends a binding update messages by second edge router 12 to first edge router 11 (being the ownership place edge router), to notify first edge router 11 with the access network address of this mobile node 20.
First edge router 11 is after receiving this binding update messages, can mobile node 20 present located subnets (i.e. the IPv6 communication subnet of being had jurisdiction at second edge router 12) can be judged according to contained subnet address prefix in the current accessed zone network address of fringe node 20 correspondences in this binding update messages, temporary IP v4 address notification second edge router 12 of these mobile node 20 distribution will be then.Because mobile node 20 can identify by its access network address or belonging area network address, first edge router 11 can be with the access network address and temporary IP v4 address notification second edge router 12 of mobile node 20; Perhaps with the belonging area network address and IPv4 address notification second edge router 12 of mobile node 20.
Second edge router 12 the address of the temporary IP v4 address that obtains mobile node 20 and the access network address to or the address of temporary IP v4 address and belonging area network address to after, based on this address to controlling communicating by letter of mobile node 20 and IPv4 node.At this, need to prove, except aforementioned temporary IP v4 address and the access network address or temporary IP v4 address and belonging area network address by first edge router, 11 notice mobile nodes 20, second edge router 12 also can directly obtain its temporary IP v4 address and the access network address or temporary IP v4 address and belonging area network address by mobile node 20.
The IPv4 node of mobile node 20 in the IPv6 territory in the IPv4 territory sends in the situation of packet, after second edge router 12 receives and mails to the packet of IPv4 node from mobile node 20, can be based on the address of aforementioned acquisition to (being temporary IP v4 address and the access network address or the temporary IP v4 address and the belonging area network address of mobile node 20), this packet is carried out protocol conversion process from IPv4 communication protocol to IPv6 communication protocol; Subsequently, the packet after the protocol conversion is directly mail to the IPv4 territory.Then, this packet is routed to the IPv4 node in the IPv4 territory, and particularly, the routing procedure of packet in the IPv4 territory is the common practise that those skilled in the art should know, and the present invention repeats no more here.
Need to prove that the protocol conversion process from IPv4 (or IPv6) communication protocol to IPv6 (or IPv4) communication protocol is the same with protocol conversion process the prior art, mainly to IP packet header of packet conversion process that carries on an agreement.The IPv6 address of IPv4 node correspondence normally constitutes like this, (32 bit) preceding prefix that adds 96 bits constitutes corresponding IPv6 address (128 bit) in the IPv4 address, the prefix of this 96 bit is set by the network manager usually, has nothing in common with each other with the address prefix of each communication subnet in the IPv6 territory.So when second edge router 12 carried on an agreement conversion process at the packet that mobile node 20 is mail to the IPv4 node, the prefix of only removing preceding 96 bits in the destination address (being the IPv6 address of IPv4 node correspondence) of needs with this packet correspondence can obtain the IPv4 address of this IPv4 node.
The mobile node 20 of IPv4 node in the IPv4 territory in the IPv6 territory sends in the situation of packet, second edge router 12 can receive from other edge routers (for example, first edge router 11) transmit from being transmitted to mobile node 20 behind the packet of IPv4 node again; Or directly receive from the packet in IPv4 territory and be transmitted to mobile node 20.
Concrete, if second edge router 12 does not have the IPv4 address information of described mobile node 20 correspondences in being broadcast to the route advertisement message in IPv4 territory, then the IPv4 node packet that mails to mobile node 20 still is routed to first edge router 11.First edge router 11 can carry on an agreement after the conversion process to this packet, and then sends to second edge router 12, sends to mobile node 20 by the packet of second edge router 12 after with this protocol conversion process.Under this kind situation, the forward-path of this packet is same as the prior art.Perhaps first edge router 11 is receiving after the IPv4 node mails to the packet of mobile node 20, also can directly this packet be sent to second edge router 12, being carried on an agreement by 12 pairs of these packets of second edge router sends to mobile node 20 after the conversion process again.
And if second edge router 12 comprises the IPv4 address information of described mobile node 20 correspondences in being broadcast to the route advertisement message in IPv4 territory, promptly this route advertisement message is used to indicate this edge router can receive and transmit information from the second communication network to described mobile node 20, and when route advertisement message is established second edge router 12 for the edge router of the preferential packet that receives the temporary IP v4 address that is sent to this mobile node; Perhaps, the ownership place router of mobile node 20, promptly first edge router 11 is when knowing that this mobile node moves to other communication subnet, for example, when receiving the binding update messages from mobile node 20, the route advertisement message that first edge router 11 is broadcast to the IPv4 territory no longer comprises the temporary IP v4 address of this mobile node, then the IPv4 node packet that mails to mobile node directly is routed the access edge router to this mobile node, i.e. second edge router 12 from the IPv4 territory.Second edge router 12 is after receiving this packet, based on the IPv4 temporary address of these mobile node 20 correspondences, to the protocol conversion process of this packet execution from IPv4 communication protocol to IPv6 communication protocol; Then, the packet after the protocol conversion is sent to the IPv6 node.By packet forward-path shown in Figure 2 as can be seen, when mobile node 20 moves to the access subnet, can be via the access edge router, need not via the ownership place edge router with the IPv4 node communication, thereby alleviated the load of access edge router, and when the access edge router broke down, mobile node 20 can not ended with communicating by letter of IPv4 node yet.
More than from the angle of a mobile node, the technical scheme of the communication process that is used to control the mobile node that moves to the access subnet and IPv4 node in access edge router and the ownership place edge router is described.
For the situation that has a plurality of mobile nodes in the IPv6 network, preferably, each edge router can be notified the temporary IP v4 address set of himself other edge router, and with the address of the temporary IP v4 address of its mobile node of having jurisdiction over that moves to other IPv6 communication subnet and the access network address to or the address of temporary IP v4 address and belonging area network address to notifying other edge router.When the address in the temporary IP v4 address set in certain edge router changes or the access network address of the mobile node that moves to other IPv6 communication subnet that it is had jurisdiction over when changing, also need in time to notify other edge router, with the information unanimity of the access address that keeps temporary IP v4 address set in each edge router and each mobile node that moves to the access subnet.Preferably, other edge router is notified in the temporary IP v4 address of each mobile node that is in the ownership place subnet that each edge router can also be had jurisdiction over it and the address of belonging area network address to information, so that other edge router is receiving when mailing to the packet of this each mobile node from the IPv4 territory, can be based on the address of the temporary IP v4 address of each mobile node and belonging area network address to conversion process that this packet is carried on an agreement, and transmit accordingly.
Particularly, to notify the implementation of other edge router to have to information the address of temporary IP v4 address set information and mobile node multiple for each edge router.
A kind of implementation is that the mode with anycast group realizes, each edge router adds an anycast group, each edge router in the scope of anycast group, share temporary IP v4 address set information separately and each mobile node address of being had jurisdiction over to information; Each mobile node sends to some members in this anycast group with the access network address information of its renewal, in the scope of this anycast group, share the access network address information of each mobile node (about the specific implementation of anycast group by this member then, can be with reference to RFC1546 and RFC4786, the present invention repeats no more here).
Another kind of implementation is to set up a central server (can serve as this central server by certain edge router, perhaps also can be that an other network equipment is served as this central server), each edge router can with separately temporary IP v4 address set information with and the address of each mobile node of being had jurisdiction over information is sent to this central server, send to each edge router respectively by this central server then; Each mobile node sends to this central server with the access network address information of its renewal, sends to each edge router respectively by this central server then.
Also having a kind of implementation is to utilize the route head of IPv6 packet to realize the exchange of the address of each mobile node that temporary IP v4 address set information in each edge router and each edge router are had jurisdiction over to information.For example, in Fig. 3, when first edge router 11 has just started, can send an IPv6 packet that is used to notify its temporary IP v4 address set information of managing to the 3rd edge router 13, this packet of appointment must be via second edge router 12 in IPv6 packet header.(comprise and obtain the access network address for the first time when perhaps the access network address of the mobile node of being had jurisdiction over when first edge router 11 20 changes, perhaps the access network address becomes the another one address from an address), then send IPv6 packet to the three edge routers 13 that are used to notify the access address information after this mobile node 20 changes, and the specific data bag must be via second edge router 12 in the route head of this packet.
In addition, also can set up the exchange of access network address information that an IP multicast group realizes temporary IP v4 address in each edge router and moves to the mobile node of other IPv6 communication subnet.
In a word, the mode of exchange of access network address information that realizes temporary IP v4 address set between each edge router and move to the mobile node of other IPv6 communication subnet has a variety of, and the present invention does not enumerate here one by one.
Need to prove, though only show the network topology structure schematic diagram that the IPv6 territory comprises three communication subnets among Fig. 1 to Fig. 3, those skilled in the art will be understood that and the invention is not restricted to this that technical scheme of the present invention can be applied to the situation that network topology structure comprises a plurality of IPv6 communication subnets.Particularly, between the edge router in what IPv6 communication subnets the address of the temporary IP v4 address of exchange temporary IP v4 address set information and mobile node and the access network address to or the address of temporary IP v4 address and belonging area network address to information, can decide according to concrete network design situation.For example, a Virtual network operator has an edge router to connect this communication subnet, and is connected to the IPv4 backbone network at the communication subnet that the edge of IPv4 backbone network is provided with ten IPv6 territories in each communication subnet.Edge router is responsible for the protocol conversion process to the communication data packet of IPv4 node and IPv6 node, and supports the mobility of IPv6 node.Like this, the temporary IP v4 address information of exchange temporary IP v4 address set information and mobile node between these ten edge routers.
Since each edge router exchanged mutually temporary IP v4 address set information with and the address of each mobile node of being had jurisdiction over to information, each edge router not only comprises the temporary IP v4 address information (the perhaps temporary IP v4 address information that has been used of this edge router management) of this edge router management in the route advertisement message of IPv4 territory broadcasting, also can comprise the temporary IP v4 address set information (the temporary IP v4 address information that has been used that perhaps other edge router is managed) that other edge router is managed.The IPv4 node packet that mails to the IPv6 node will be routed in the nearest edge router of IPv4 node like this.Particularly, packet routed path as shown in Figure 3, because the 3rd edge router 13 is also known the temporary IP v4 address of mobile node 20, then in the route advertisement message of IPv4 territory broadcasting, also comprise the temporary IP v4 address information of mobile node 20 at the 3rd edge router 13.Suppose to compare other edge router, the 3rd edge router 13 is nearest from the IPv4 node, then the IPv4 node packet that mails to mobile node 20 can be routed to the 3rd edge router 13, and then sends to second edge router 12 after carrying out protocol conversion process from IPv4 communication protocol to IPv6 communication protocol by 13 pairs of these packets of the 3rd edge router.The packet of second edge router 12 after with this protocol conversion process sends to mobile node.Perhaps the 3rd edge router 13 directly sends to second edge router 12 with the packet that receives, by sending to mobile node 20 again after the 12 pairs of protocol conversions of these packets execution from IPv4 communication protocol to IPv6 communication protocol of second edge router.
Need to prove, only show the routed path that the IPv4 node mails to the packet of mobile node 20 among Fig. 3, the routed path that sends the packet of IPv4 node for mobile node 20 can be the reverse path of the routed path shown in Fig. 3, also can be routed path as shown in Figure 2, decide by concrete routing policy.
Since each edge router exchanged mutually temporary IP v4 address set information with and the address of each mobile node of being had jurisdiction over to information, make the mobile node 20 and the communication path of IPv4 node can have many.When the edge router in a certain paths wherein breaks down, can select other communication path to communicate.When the overload of certain edge router, can select via the communication path of other edge router carrying out communicating by letter of mobile node 20 and IPv4 node, thus the load of balanced each edge router.Further, if the communication subnet that first edge router 11 is had jurisdiction over has a reserve link that is connected to second edge router 12, then when first edge router 11 breaks down, even mobile node 20 is currently located in the subnet that first edge router 11 had jurisdiction over, also can use reserve link to communicate with the IPv4 node via second edge router 12.
Since each edge router exchanged mutually temporary IP v4 address set information with and the address of each mobile node of being had jurisdiction over to information, make the mobile node 20 might to shorten from the switching time that a communication subnet switches to (perhaps moving to) another communication subnet.Here the implication of switching time is meant: setting up from mobile node and new communication subnet that initial link (but still keep original with original path communicate by letter) to this mobile node begins in new communication subnet can be normally and till other IPv6 node or the IPv4 node communication with new path.Particularly, as shown in Figure 3, when Radix Angelicae Sinensis belongs to communication subnet that the mobile node 20 of the communication subnet that first edge router 11 had jurisdiction over had jurisdiction over from second edge router 12 and moves to the communication subnet that the 3rd edge router 13 had jurisdiction over, the binding update messages that mobile node 20 transmissions are used to notify its new access network address is to the 3rd edge router 13, and the 3rd edge router 13 is transmitted to this binding update messages second edge router 12 and first edge router 11 more then.When this binding update messages arrives second edge router 12, mobile node 20 can be set up in such a way with the new communication path of IPv4 node: suppose that first edge router 11 is from the nearest edge router of IPv4 node, then the IPv4 node packet that mails to mobile node 20 is routed directly to first edge router 11 from the IPv4 territory; Because binding update messages this moment no show still first edge router 11, then first edge router 11 still sends to this packet second edge router 12; Second edge router 12 based on the new access network address information of mobile node 20, sends to the 3rd edge router 13 with this packet, and then sends to mobile node 20 by the 3rd edge router 13 after receiving this packet.And, when binding update messages arrives first edge router 11, could set up the new communication path of mobile node 20 and IPv4 node according to prior art.Therefore, shortened the switching time of mobile node 20.
