Background

With the rapid development of internet technology, the demand of network service providers for network quality is increasing day by day, and the quality of network quality affects the normal operation of user services. Because the network quality outside the machine room has uncertainty, in order to effectively improve the user experience, the network quality needs to be detected frequently to avoid network lines with poor quality.

In the prior art, detection points for detecting the network quality are generally required to be deployed in various areas where users are located to detect the network quality in real time. However, the prior art has the defect that the method cannot be compensated, namely, a great difference exists between the user base number and the number of the detection points; firstly, in order to reduce detection errors and improve detection accuracy, a large number of detection points need to be deployed in each area, so that a large amount of cost needs to be invested, but due to cost factors, all users in the area cannot be covered even if a large number of detection points are deployed, and for the area with a low user base number, the large number of detection points do not have practical operability; secondly, due to the above defects, deployed detection points cannot truly reflect the quality of a network line of a user, and in actual work, a situation that whether the quality of the network of the user is problematic or not cannot be detected often occurs, for example, when the quality of the network is a complaint by the user, the quality of the network of the detection points in an area where the user is located does not have a problem.

To facilitate an understanding of the embodiments of the present invention, several elements introduced in the description of the embodiments are first introduced here:

TCP/IP Protocol (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol), translated name is Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, also called network communication Protocol, is the most basic Protocol of Internet and the basis of Internet, and consists of IP Protocol of network layer and TCP Protocol of Transmission layer. TCP/IP defines a standard for how electronic devices connect to the internet and how data is transmitted between them;

network quality of service: that is, Quality of Service, QoS for short, is an agreement about Quality of information transmission and sharing between users communicating with each other on a network, and mainly includes reliability, transmission delay, variable delay, packet loss rate, and the like; and

an Internet Data Center (IDC) is a facility base dedicated to outsourcing network resources and providing operation and maintenance for professional network service equipment.

First embodiment

Fig. 2 shows a flow diagram of a network detection method 200 according to an embodiment of the invention.

As shown in fig. 2, the specific processing flow of the method is as follows:

s210, collecting an IP address and IP data from a client from the flow data of the access server;

s220, generating an active IP address list of a physical area to which the IP address belongs according to the IP data so as to store the IP address to be detected in the physical area;

and S230, detecting the network quality of the physical area according to the IP address to be detected.

Thereafter, the present flow ends.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the server may be a physical machine and/or a virtual machine running on the physical machine, wherein the physical machine includes but is not limited to: a mini, midrange, mainframe, or other physical device capable of deploying a web site.

It will be appreciated that the network detection means in the server is communicatively linked to the IDC to receive all external traffic accessing the server traffic.

Specifically, when a request from a client accesses a server, the network detection apparatus collects an IP address of the client and corresponding IP data, for example, collects a header of an IP data packet. According to the IP address and the IP data, the network detection device obtains a physical area, such as a city administrative district, to which the IP address belongs. As an example, the network detection apparatus analyzes the IP address and the IP data to obtain the network operator of the IP, such as shanghai telecom, shanghai mobile, or shanghai UNICOM, and the like, so that the physical area to which the IP belongs is a shanghai region. In addition, the network detection device derives the active time of the IP address access traffic, such as by a timestamp and/or access log in the IP data. The network detection device generates an active IP address list according to the belonging physical area of the IP address, for example, the IP address for accessing the server service from the Shanghai area can be stored in the active IP address list in Shanghai.

As another example, the network detection apparatus may store only active IP addresses meeting a predetermined condition in the active IP address list. For example, the network detection device may selectively store a portion of the IP address based on the liveness of the IP address.

For example, the network detection device may set a threshold value associated with a liveness, IP addresses having a liveness greater than a predetermined threshold value to be stored in the active IP address list. The threshold value may be dynamically set based on the type of server traffic and the characteristics of the physical area to which the user belongs. As an example, the threshold may be related to an active time, e.g., an active time for an IP address to access traffic in 24 hours is no less than 5 hours, or an active time is 10 to 16 hours; the threshold may also be related to the active frequency, e.g., the frequency with which an IP address accesses traffic within 24 hours; the threshold value may be a combination of the above two.

In addition, the network detection apparatus may also rank the active IP addresses according to the active time or frequency, and then store the IP addresses ranked higher than a predetermined value, for example, the top 100, 500, or 1000, etc., in the active IP address list.

It is understood that the network detection device can save qualified IP addresses in a list in real time based on the change of the liveness of each IP address, and update the list in real time.

Next, the network detection apparatus uses the IP addresses in the active IP address list as the IP addresses to be detected for network quality detection, and sends network detection packets to these IP addresses through, for example, the network layer. After receiving the detection data packets, the IP address to be detected responds to the network detection device, and according to the response of the IP address to be detected, the network detection device can detect the network transceiving delay and the packet loss rate between the IP address to be detected and the server. For example, if the IP address to be detected receives 9995 packets from the network detection device in one hour, the packet loss rate in the period is five ten thousandths. For example, by comparing the sending time stamp of the detection data packet with the receiving time stamp of the data packet received by the IP address to be tested, the network transceiving delay between the IP address to be tested and the server can be obtained.

Because the IP address to be detected is the real active IP address of the access server service, the network detection device can determine the real network quality of the area where the IP address to be detected is located according to the network transceiving delay and the packet loss rate.

Further, the network quality may be alarmed, for example, whether the transceiving delay and/or the packet loss rate is greater than a preset threshold is judged, when the packet loss rate is greater than 30%, an abnormal alarm is initiated, and when the transceiving delay is greater than 10 minutes, an abnormal alarm is initiated.

In summary, the method provided in this embodiment detects the network quality of the active IP address of the user, so that the detection target is accurate, detection of an invalid region is avoided, invalid noise is eliminated, and the real network quality of the region where the user is located can be detected.

The method embodiments of the present invention may be implemented in software, hardware, firmware, etc. Whether the present invention is implemented as software, hardware, or firmware, the instruction code may be stored in any type of computer-accessible memory (e.g., permanent or modifiable, volatile or non-volatile, solid or non-solid, fixed or removable media, etc.). Also, the Memory may be, for example, Programmable Array Logic (PAL), Random Access Memory (RAM), Programmable Read Only Memory (PROM), Read-Only Memory (ROM), Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM), a magnetic disk, an optical disk, a Digital Versatile Disk (DVD), or the like.
