Embodiment
Fig. 1 is the method flow diagram of policy control among the present invention.The present invention by Automatic Configuration Server (Auto Configuration Server, ACS) with policy distribution to gateway (InternetGateway Device, IGD), such as home gateway or enterprise gateway.As the local policy control point, carry out the function of tactful detection, strategic decision-making and strategy execution by IGD.This method may further comprise the steps:
In step 101, enable a strategy by strategic server, described strategy is sent to Automatic Configuration Server.Described strategy comprises incident, condition and action etc.
In step 102, the southbound interface by Automatic Configuration Server sends to gateway with described strategy.
Policy distribution there are two approach to gateway IGD: the first, to DSLAM, send to IGD via BRAS then.The second, send to IGD via ACS.Since BRAS/DSLAM at present not support policy issue, the upgrading cost is big, the cycle is long, so be not suitable at present issuing via BRAS/DSLAM.The present invention adopts the TR069 agreement via ACS policy distribution to be arrived gateway.TR069 agreement bearing mode has been done definition in the TR069 agreement, based on the SOAP packet carrying data of HTTP.
In step 103, should strategy by gateway stores, and begin to carry out the strategy monitoring.
IGD policy control of the present invention is applicable to service quality QoS control and firewall policy control.Also can expand to other policy control.Wherein, the parameter node definition of policing parameter is as follows: service quality QoS parameter node (TR098 definition): InternetGatewayDevice.Queue Management.Firewall parameter node (redetermination): InternetGatewayDevice.FirewallManagement.
TR098 has defined the TR069 supplemental characteristic, is one of TR069 serial protocols.TR098 has done definition to service quality.But fire compartment wall parameter node does not have normalized definition, and the present invention has expanded fire compartment wall parameter node, and firewall policy parameter node definition ACS issues the parameter node of firewall policy to IGD, and this node is the parameter node that policy distribution need be used.
In step 104, take place when gateway detects policy events, and when satisfying the condition of described policy definition, carry out the action of described policy definition.
