First embodiment

A first embodiment of the present invention provides a traffic management method based on a service policy routing, which is applied to an Intelligent Traffic Operation Platform (ITOP), and the traffic management method based on the service policy routing includes:

the user service is signed with a Subscriber Profile Register (SPR). As shown in fig. 1, the method specifically comprises the following steps:

step 110, sending an account opening request to the SPR;

step 120, according to the response of the SPR to the account opening request, sending a service signing request to the SPR;

specifically, after responding to the account opening request of the user, the SPR sends the service subscription request of the user to the SPR.

And step 130, receiving the subscription service result responded by the SPR.

As shown in fig. 2, after step 130, the traffic management method based on service policy routing according to this embodiment further includes:

step 210, receiving user online information sent by the PGW.

Specifically, when a user is online, a packet data network Gateway (PDN Gateway, PGW) of a core network applies for Policy and Charging Control (PCC) query to a Policy and Charging Rule unit (Policy and Charging Rule Function, PCRF), and the PCRF sends a query request to an SPR, and feeds back a query result to the PCRF after the SPR query, where the query result includes a result that the user is a subscriber or a non-subscriber, and for the subscriber, the query result also includes a traffic package condition signed by the user. For a User with a signed Service, the PCRF issues a policy routing rule to the PGW, so that the PGW sends a User online message through a Remote Dial-In User Authentication Service (Radius) message. The flow control platform receives a user online message sent by the PGW, wherein the message carries a user number and an Internet Protocol (IP) address interconnected between networks.

Step 220, obtaining the internet access message executed by the PGW based on the policy routing rule according to the user online information.

Specifically, the PGW executes a policy routing rule issued by the PCRF and routes the internet access packet to the traffic management platform, thereby obtaining the internet access packet executed by the PGW based on the policy routing rule and including the free service identifier.

Optionally, the policy routing rule is to divide the internet access packet into free service identifiers.

And step 230, performing flow management on the internet access message.

Specifically, the traffic management of the internet access message specifically includes: aggregate traffic, Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) parsing, and deduct traffic accounts.

In the traffic management method based on the service policy routing according to this embodiment, the user online information sent by the PGW is received, and the internet access message executed by the PGW based on the policy routing rule is acquired according to the user online information, so as to perform traffic management on the internet access message. The traffic management method based on the business strategy routing can be used for carrying out DPI detection on the signed user, does not influence the performance of the core network, does not relate to the change configuration of the core network when the DPI configuration is changed, and has stronger maintainability.

Second embodiment

As shown in fig. 3, a second embodiment of the present application further provides a traffic management method based on service policy routing, where the method includes the steps of:

and step 310, receiving user online information sent by the PGW.

Step 320, obtaining the internet access message executed by the PGW based on the policy routing rule according to the user online information.

Step 330, detecting whether the user service has available flow, if yes, entering step 340, and if not, entering step 350;

step 340, performing flow management on the internet access message;

step 350, sending service logout information to the SPR, so that the PCRF sends the policy routing rule for deleting the user to the PGW.

The contents of steps 310-320 in this embodiment are the same as those of steps 210-220 in the first embodiment, and the contents of step 340 in this embodiment are the same as those of step 230 in the first embodiment, and for the same contents, the detailed description of this embodiment is omitted.

In step 350, when the detected traffic is used up, that is, there is no available traffic allocation, service cancellation information is sent to the SPR, so that the SPR sends the user service change condition to the PCRF to cancel the user service. And for the user logging out the user service, the PCRF sends a policy routing rule for deleting the user to the PGW.

In the traffic management method based on the service policy routing according to this embodiment, when it is detected that there is no available traffic for a user service, service logout information is sent to the SPR, so that the PCRF sends a policy routing rule for deleting the user to the PGW, and thus, the service logout can be performed in time for a situation where traffic cannot be allocated.
