Description

A kind of IP address choice method and device
Technical field
The present invention relates to communication technical field, relate in particular to a kind of IP address choice method and device.
Background technology
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol, transmission control protocol)/IP (InternetProtocol, Internet protocol) protocol suite generally is divided into four levels, is followed successively by from top to bottom: application layer, transport layer, network layer and link layer.Application layer is responsible for handling specific application particulars, common protocol stack such as FTP (File Transport Protocol, file transfer protocol (FTP)), e-mail etc.; Transport layer is used to two application programs on the main frame that communication end to end, common protocol stack such as TCP, UDP (User Datagram Protocol, User Datagram Protoco (UDP)) etc. are provided; Network layer is responsible for handling grouped data and is wrapped in activity in the network, for example routing of packet etc., common protocol stack such as IP, ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol, internet control message protocol) etc.; And link layer generally includes device driver in the operating system and corresponding network interface unit etc., common protocol stack such as the ARP in the Ethernet (Address Resolution Protocol, address resolution protocol) etc.
Behind a host-initiated in the network, in order to finish Business Processing, at first need to obtain an IP address and will oneself be registered in the network, find the main frame at professional place to finish follow-up business then and handle.A kind of typical processing method comprises:
1, host computer using link layer obtains the link address (as the MAC in the Ethernet (Medium Access Control, medium access control) address) of local terminal, keep and network in the link of peripheral main frame can reach;
2, host computer using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, DHCP) the mechanism Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server in network obtains the IP address of this machine and related parameter is arranged, as the domain name of service server etc.;
3, main frame carries out DNS (DomainName Services, domain name service) parsing to the service server domain name of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server feedback, to the IP address of dns server requested service server;
4, Signalling exchange is carried out in the IP address (step 3 acquisition) of the IP address of this machine of host computer using (step 2 acquisition) and service server, finishes follow-up business and handles.
Packet data handler system in the mobile communications network and above-mentioned TCP/IP model class are seemingly, with 3GPP (The 3rd Generation Partnership Project, third generation partner plan) EPS (the Evolved Packet System that studying of tissue, the grouping system of evolution) network is an example, as shown in Figure 1, eNodeB is the base station of wireless access network, MME (Mobility Management Entity, mobile management entity) is (the User Equipment of UE in the core net, subscriber equipment) chain of command entity, the authentication of responsible UE and mobile management etc., S-GW (Serving Gateway, gateway) and P-GW (Packet Data Network Gateway, packet data gateway) be the gateway device of core net, be connected to outside packet network (as PDN (Packet Data Network, packet data network)), for UE provides the route of packet data package and transmits processing, both can unify, and hereinafter unification is described with gateway.
UE is connected to MME, S-GW and the P-GW of core net by the eNodeB of wireless access network.After the UE start, can at first adhere to processing, finish authentication and the registration of UE in mobile communications network MME; When UE need carry out business, need be established to the user plane bearer of core net gateway earlier, this carrying is similar to the link layer link in the above-mentioned TCP/IP model, for the IP stack on upper strata provides service.In loading establishing process, the core net gateway can distribute available IP address for this UE, also can be after carrying foundation be finished, UE utilizes the mobile communications network carrying (link layer) of having set up to require the distributing IP address to Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server by modes such as DHCP.This processing is similar to the step 2 in the TCP/IP model.
After UE has obtained the IP address, can adopt the step 3 and the similar mode of step 4 of above-mentioned TCP/IP model to obtain the IP address of service server, and finish follow-up business, for example carry out IMS (IPMultimedia Subsystem, IP Multimedia System) registration, or visit Internet etc.
Other mobile communications network, as GPRS (General Packet Radio Service, GPRS)/UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, universal mobile telecommunications system) packet domain, CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access, code division multiple access inserts), WiMax (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, worldwide interoperability for microwave inserts), WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network, WLAN (wireless local area network)) processing of etc. processing and above-mentioned EPS is similar, UE can set up link layer with the gateway device in the network of relation and be connected, and the IP layer service on being connected to by this link layer.
The IP address can be divided into two kinds of IPv4 and IPv6, and there are very big difference in the form of these two kinds of IP addresses and relevant treatment.Network based on the IPv4 address is the IPv4 network, is the IPv6 network based on the network of IPv6 address.Particularly there is the processing under the situation of IPv4 isolated island or isolated IPv6 site in processing mode when needing to consider the coexistence of IPv4 and IPv6 address to the process of IPv6 network transition from the IPv4 network.As shown in Figure 2, when IPv6 develops into certain phase, then backbone upgrade is IPv6, but some local area network (LAN) that links to each other with backbone network may still use IPv4, and these IPv4 networks are exactly the IPv4 isolated island.
Under the network coexisted situation of IPv4 and IPv6, a kind of processing method that addresses the above problem is that associated host has IPv4 and the two stacks of IPv6, energy is process IP v4 address and IPv6 address simultaneously, if the Correspondent Node server uses IPv4 or IPv6, then local terminal also uses the IP address of corresponding version to finish alternately.This method can be referred to as " two stack " (Dual Stack)
In the EPS network for solve IPv4 and IPv6 the coexistence problem, adopted the processing method of two stacks, UE is in setting up the process of user plane bearer, gateway can be according to ability and the carrier policy of UE, be that this UE distributes the address of two IP versions, UE can utilize these two IP addresses to communicate with application server in the PDN network that is connected.
Yet therefore the IP address ability of the application server in the PDN network that UE can't the sensing mobile communication network connects in the prior art can't select the IP address of appropriate version and the opposite end communicates; If the opposite end server is also supported two stacks, UE also can't judge and used the IP address of which kind of version can optimize performance this moment.
Prior art one is in order to solve problem how to select the IP address version under two stack situations, and a kind of possible method is that UE or main frame are selected at random, or attempts one by one, and which is available just uses which.
In realizing process of the present invention, the inventor finds that there is following shortcoming at least in prior art one:
1, because related specifications requires to support the network of IPv6 will support the IPv4 address simultaneously, if therefore attempt the IPv4 address earlier, then this IPv4 address is always available, thereby causes the IPv6 address to can not get using;
If 3 attempt the IPv6 address earlier, then for the network of only supporting the IPv4 address in the existing network in a large number, always there is the situation of twice selection, cause the wasting of resources.
Therefore, select the trial scheme at random of IP address version to have the problem of the wasting of resources in the prior art under two stack situations.
Summary of the invention

The embodiment of the invention is set up between UE and mobile communications network gateway in the process of carrying, network equipment can be notified to UE with preferred IP address version ability information, therefore, when carrying out service needed, obtains in the process of server ip address UE, can utilize this preferred IP address version ability information to select the IP address version of a realistic network condition and carrier policy, thereby solve the IP address choice problem under IPv4 and the network coexisted situation of IPv6.
Described preferred IP address version ability information comprise following any one or multiple: the preferred IP address version ability information of the PDN network that this carrying is served (preferred IPv4 address or preferred IPv6 address etc.), typical professional preferred IP address version ability information, the preferred IP address version ability information of business network.Described typical business and business network comprise: as DHCP, DNS, email, IMS network, VPN (Virtual Private Network, Virtual Private Network) network etc.
Describedly can be the core-network side gateway with what preferred IP address version ability information was notified to UE, also can be HA (Home Agent, home agent) etc., gateway and HA also can unify, below embodiments of the invention be that example describes to finish described process by the core-network side gateway.
Gateway unification for communication network among the following embodiment is described with " gateway ", includes but not limited to following concrete gateway: the GGSN among the GPRS/UMTS (Gateway GPRSSupport Node, gateway GPRS service node); S-GW/P-GW among the EPS; PDSN among the CDMA (Packet Data Serving Node, packet data serving node); ASN-GW among the WiMax (Access Serving Network Gateway, Access Service Network Gateway); PDG among the WLAN (Packet Data Gateway, packet data gateway) etc.
Following examples mainly are described with the gateway in the EPS network, and the gateway processes in other networks similarly repeats no more herein.
The method that the described gateway of the embodiment of the invention obtains preferred IP address version ability information comprises: the preferred IP address version ability information of continuous PDN network, typical services and/or business network of manual configuration in gateway; Gateway passes through the continuous PDN network of the mutual perception of IP layer or the preferred IP address version of business network; Gateway can also initiatively obtain the preferred IP address version ability information of link to each other PDN network, typical services and/or business network to other network elements (as PCRF, Policy Charging Rule Function, policy charging rule function); Other network elements also can initiatively initiatively send to gateway with the business of belonging network, service and/or the preferred IP address version ability information of business network.
Embodiment one, and in the EPS network, UE can set up a plurality of carryings as required in order to visit PDN, is that identical IP address is used in a plurality of carryings of a PDN service.General in being established to first carrying of this PDN (can be referred to as default bearer) process, gateway is this UE distributing IP address, can be two IP addresses of IPv4 and two kinds of versions of IPv6; Also allow in the prior art after carrying is set up, UE obtains the IP address by other modes.Present embodiment does not limit both of these case, is that scene illustrates with the preferred IP address version ability information that sends PDN network preferred IP address version ability information and typical business and/or business network in setting up this default bearer process mainly.Gateway is set up in the process default bearer, and with the preferred IP address version ability information of service PDN network, and the preferred IP address version ability information of typical services and/or business network is notified to UE.UE writes down these preferred IP address version ability information, selects the IP address of the UE and the service server of corresponding version when carrying out related service according to these preferred address version ability information.As shown in Figure 3, can comprise following operating procedure:
Step 1:UE sends network connecting request to MME, requires to be established to the default bearer of PDN network.
Under some scene, MME can replace UE to be established to the default bearer of PDN network, and a kind of typical situation is that the UE start is attached in the EPS network development process, after MME finishes the authentication and registration of UE, can be established to the default bearer of default PDN network for this UE.Under these scenes, UE does not need execution in step 1, and follow-up processing and present embodiment are similar, so step 1 is optional.
Step 2:MME sends to gateway and sets up the default bearer request message.MME can be in receiving step 1 after the request of UE or trigger this step in attaching process.
Step 3: gateway sends to MME and sets up the default bearer response message.
In this message except comprising that gateway is IPv4, the IPv6 address that UE distributes, can also comprise preferred IP address version ability information, the preferred IP address version ability information (IPv4 or IPv6) that for example comprises the PDN network that this carrying is served, and in the preferred IP address version ability information of typical services and business network any one or multiple, preferred IP address version of the preferred IP address version of DNS, IMS network (P-CSCF) etc. for example.
Described typical business and business network comprise: DHCP, DNS, email, IMS network, VPN network etc.
Described preferred IP address version ability information can be included in PCO (Protocol ConfigurationOption, the protocol configuration option) cell and transmit, and also can transmit by newly-increased cell.
Gateway is before sending response message to MME, if disposed PCC (Policy ControlCharging, policy control is chargeed), then obtain the required PCC rule of default bearer alternately with PCRF (Policy Charging RulesFunction, "Policy and Charging Rules Function) earlier.
Step 4:MME sends carrying to UE and sets up request message, except comprising the IP address of the UE that gateway provides, can also carry the preferred IP address version ability information that gateway provides in this message.
In attaching process, what MME sent to UE in this step is to adhere to accept message, also can carry the preferred IP address version ability information that gateway provides in this message.
The preferred IP address version ability information that step 5:UE record gateway provides can also offer these information UE and go up the application program of installing.
Step 6:UE sends carrying to MME and sets up response message.
In attaching process, what MME sent to UE in this step is to adhere to finish message.
Carry out the bearer update flow process between step 7:MME and the gateway.
Because the message in the step 6 need be transmitted through the eNodeB of wireless access network, eNodeB can be this default bearer allocation of downlink tunnel routing information in this process, and this information sent to MME, so MME sends to gateway with this downlink tunnel routing iinformation in this step, finishes renewal.This flow process is a prior art, repeats no more herein.
Above-mentioned steps 1-7 has finished the process of setting up of the default bearer of UE and PDN, follow-up, when UE need carry out business, generally need to carry out the IP address that dns resolution obtains service server according to the domain name of business earlier, therefore UE need send the DNS request message that comprise professional domain name to dns server, and dns server is contained in the IP address packet of corresponding service server in the DNS response message and passes to UE.In this processing, comprise two processes:
(1) UE selects the IP address of the UE and the dns server of corresponding version according to the preferred IP address version ability information of DNS of record, assembling DNS request message, and send to the dns server that the IP address of described dns server is identified.
The IP address of dns server can be provided by gateway in loading establishing process or UE obtains by extra DHCP flow process, if dns server is not two stacks, then UE directly uses the source address of the IP address version consistent with dns server IP address version as the DNS request message; Otherwise the preferred IP address version ability information of the dns server that needs employing gateway provides is selected an IP address.
(2) after dns server is received the request message of UE, carry out dns resolution, send DNS response message, the IP address of carrying the domain name corresponding service server (as email) that carries in the request message in this message to UE.If this domain name exists the IP address of two different editions, then the IP address that can carry these two versions in this DNS response message.UE is after receiving the DNS response message, and UE can select the IP address of UE and service server according to the preferred IP address version ability information of the business (email) that gateway provides, and UE and service server are follow-up can to utilize selected IP address to communicate.
If comprise the IP address of two different editions of service server in the DNS response message, but gateway does not provide the preferred IP address version ability information of this business to UE, then UE can select the IP address of UE and service server according to the preferred IP address version of the PDN that gateway provides ability information (can be regarded as " default preferred IP version ").
Therefore, when UE carries out business, can carry out as the following steps among Fig. 3:
Step 8:UE is according to the preferred IP address version ability information of described record, local terminal and peer IP address version when definite and DNS is mutual, if record the preferred IP version of DNS, then select the IP address of UE and dns server, and assemble the DNS request message according to the DNS request message format of this version.
Step 9:UE sends the DNS request message to described dns server.Also comprise the domain name that to carry out follow-up business in this message.
Step 10:DNS server carries out dns resolution, sends the DNS response message to UE, can comprise the IPv4 and/or the IPv6 address of domain name corresponding service server in this message.
Step 11:UE is according to described record, and the preferred IP address version ability information of searching the domain name corresponding service is selected the IP address of this service server, and it is mutual to select the IP address of the UE of identical version to carry out follow-up business.
If have only the IP address of a version in the DNS response message, then to select the IP address of the UE of the identical version of the version that carries in this response message to carry out follow-up business as source address mutual for UE.
If UE does not have corresponding professional preferred IP address version ability information, but record the preferred IP address version ability information of this business business network of living in, then select the IP address corresponding with this preferred IP version information according to the preferred IP address version ability information of described business network.
If UE does not have the preferred IP address version ability information of domain name corresponding service, do not write down the preferred IP address version ability information of this business business network of living in yet, but write down should the residing PDN of business preferred IP address version ability information, then select the IP address of UE and service server according to the preferred IP address version ability information of PDN.
