According to concept as described herein, in the information in DL data grouping in local in communication device 100 Generate the packet classification rule for being used for UL data grouping.Furthermore, it is noted that in many feasible situations, IP data grouping Stream is usually two-way.Even if the transmission of effective load data only occurs in one direction, for example, being grouped based on TCP, IP points Group stream is generally also included within the control grouping transmitted in opposite direction, as TCP acknowledgment is grouped.In addition, the source of IP stream of packets and Destination IP address and port numbers are usually symmetrical, that is, destination endpoint in one direction (passes through IP address and port Number identification) it is identical as source endpoint (pass through IP address and port numbers identification) in another direction, and vice versa.Due to symmetrical Property reason, identical IP stream of packets reverse flow grouping will have " complementation " address designator and " complementation " port identifiers, this Mean that source identifier in one direction is identical as destination mark symbol in another direction.
According to the concept as described in following content, it will be assumed that DL data service is assigned to service class 50 in some way, And it is provided with corresponding mark.This can be realized by the business classifier 210 of network gateway node 220.In the example shown, it controls Node 300 sends network gateway node 220 by signal for DL packet classification rule 215.It is also possible, however, to use providing DL points Group classifying rules 215 arrives the other way of network gateway node 220.By using DL packet classification rule 215, mesh network joint Business classifier 220 in point 220 assigns DL to be grouped into service class 50, and correspondingly indicates DL data grouping.Pass through setting Dscp field in the header of data grouping, by the priority bit of setting data grouping, and/or by being mentioned for data grouping For VLAN label, it can be achieved that this is indicated.In addition, if outgoing data grouping will use tunnel agreement to transmit, then outgoing data divides This mark of group can also be realized by providing Tunnel Identifier for data grouping.
As described above, communication device 100 includes being operated based on UL packet classification rule 115 and supporting to generate UL grouping point The business classifier 110 of the reflective-mode of rule-like.In reflective mode, it includes first that business classifier 110, which is configured to detection, It is that the outgoing data that complementary second identifier accords with is grouped that the incoming data of identifier, which is grouped and includes relative to first identifier symbol,.? In complementary second identifier symbol, such as the purpose of destination IP address and/or destination port end element and first identifier accord with In the source point element such as source IP address and/or source port it is identical.First and second identifiers each can be 5 tuple of IP. By the received DL data grouping of monitoring institute, business classifier 110 is to assign the outgoing data point that there is complementary second identifier to accord with Group is regular to UL data classification is generated with the such mode for being grouped identical service class 50 with the incoming data that first identifier accords with 115.In this way, not requiring clearly to send communication device 100 by signal for UL packet classification rule 115.On the other hand, UL points Group classifying rules 115 can be flexibly adapted to specific communications situation, these situations can pass through DL business point by network operator Class controls.
In reflective mode, if business classifier 110 detects the new IP with incoming data grouping in dl direction Stream of packets, then it can automatically generate corresponding UL packet classification rule 115.If the incoming data grouping of IP stream of packets is each taken With specific 5 tuple of IP, then UL packet classification rule 115 will be configured to assign the outgoing data grouping for carrying complementation 5 tuple of IP Identical service class 50 is grouped to a received incoming data.In addition, UL data grouping is indicated according to its classification, such as By using identical mark in the DL data grouping with this service class.This mark can be by being arranged in the header of data grouping Dscp field is realized by providing VLAN label, and/or the priority bit by the way that data grouping is arranged for data grouping. In addition, if outgoing data grouping will be transmitted using Tunneling Protocol, then this mark of outgoing data grouping can also be by for data Grouping provides Tunnel Identifier to realize.
The structure of identifier and complementary identifier based on 5 tuple of IP is shown in FIG. 7.It is to be appreciated, however, that its The identifier and complementary identifier of its type are also possible.In general, in complementary identifier, at least one element of identifier Occur again as another element.For example, the identifier in the complementary identifier of outgoing data grouping, in incoming data grouping Source element can be used as destination element and occur again.According to an embodiment, identifier includes source address and destination-address, and And complementary identifier includes the source address of the destination-address corresponding to identifier and the purpose of the source address corresponding to identifier Way address.
As shown in fig. 7, the identifier based on 5 tuple of IP may include source address A, destination-address B, source port C, purpose Ground port D and protocol identifier X.Corresponding complementary identifier will thus have source address B, destination address A, source port D, destination Port C and protocol identifier X.In other words, in complementary identifier, compared with identifier, source address and destination are had exchanged Address.Similarly, in complementary identifier, compared with identifier, source port and destination port are had exchanged.Protocol identifier is protected It holds constant.In other embodiments, different types of identifier and complementary identifier can be used, for example, based on only 5 tuple of IP A part.For example, compared with identifier, being merely able to exchange source address and destination-address in complementary identifier.
In the following, it by by referring to structure as shown in Figure 1, is explained in greater detail according to the present invention one and implements The process of the processing UL data grouping of example.
Initially, UL data grouping (such as data grouping related with the special services such as IP-based voice service) exists While the default service class being assigned in the service class 50 such as internet service class, it can be transmitted to from communication device 100 Network gateway 220.Corresponding IP stream of packets is then also included within the data grouping that the side DL is passed up, for example, confirmation grouping.It is logical It crosses and uses DL packet classification rule 215, the business classifier 210 in network gateway node 220 will assign these DL data groupings To required service class, for example, voice service, and will realize the corresponding mark of DL data grouping.As mentioned above, this Mark can be related to be arranged in the dscp field in the header of DL data grouping, provides VLAN label for DL data grouping, is DL number Tunnel Identifier, and/or the priority bit of setting DL data grouping are provided according to grouping.
In reflective mode, the then detection Incoming DL data grouping of the business classifier 110 in communication device 100, and Based on complementary 5 tuple of IP of 5 tuple of IP in the grouping of received incoming data operated, generation UL business classification gauge Then 115.Herein, it will be appreciated that different IP stream of packets can have same service class 50, and multiple UL packet classification rules 115 It can be used for assigning out UL data grouping to a service class 50.
In addition to the reflective-mode for generating UL packet classification rule 115, other business point can also be provided for business classifier 110 Quasi-mode, for example, being operated based on the UL packet classification rule sent from network by signal, the UL based on static configuration points Group classifying rules is operated, or is operated based on port mapping.Reflective-mode, which can respond, for example to be communicated in initialization Control signal is received from network when connection between device 100 and network gateway node 220 and is activated, or at no point in the update process Activation.
It can also be provided for communication device 100 to communication network and indicate that it supports the above-mentioned reflection of generation UL classifying rules 115 The functionality of mode.For example, this can include to the connection initialization between communication device 100 and network gateway node 220 In.For example, information element can be added to the signaling used during connecting initialization.By means of this information element, communication dress Its supporting reflex mode can be indicated by setting 100.And network can indicate whether use instead by signal to network equipment 100 Emission mode.
