Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a network connection method, apparatus, electronic device, and medium that integrate historical connection of IP addresses into power for multiple IP racing connections.

The network connection method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes first receiving a network connection request. And then acquiring M IP addresses corresponding to the websites to be accessed based on the network connection request, wherein M is an integer greater than or equal to 2. And then, according to the historical connection power of each IP address in the M IP addresses, sequencing the M IP addresses to obtain an IP address sequence, wherein the higher the historical connection power in the M IP addresses is, the higher the sequencing of the IP addresses is.

It should be noted that the network connection method and apparatus determined in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be used in the financial field, and may also be used in any field other than the financial field, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

Fig. 1 schematically illustrates an application scenario 100 of a network connection method and apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in fig. 1, an application scenario 100 according to this embodiment may include a terminal device 101, a network 102, and a server (cluster) 103. Network 102 is used to provide communication links between terminal devices 101 and servers (clusters) 103. Network 102 may include various connection types, such as wired, wireless communication links, or fiber optic cables, to name a few.

A user may use terminal device 101 to interact with server (cluster) 103 over network 102 to receive or send messages or the like. Various messaging client applications, such as shopping-like applications, web browser applications, search-like applications, instant messaging tools, mailbox clients, social platform software, etc. (by way of example only) may be installed on terminal device 101.

The server (cluster) 103 may be a server providing various services, such as a background management server (for example only) providing support for websites browsed by users using the terminal devices 101.

In one embodiment, a website may have multiple images. For example, the servers (clusters) 103 may be distributed in different places, with multiple IP addresses assigned corresponding to the same domain name. Therefore, the server in any place is broken, and the other server can be accessed, so that the access of the website is not influenced, and the backup function is realized.

In another embodiment, as the current IPv4(Internet Protocol Version 4, Version 4 of the Internet communication Protocol) address is exhausted, it is imperative to switch to IPv6(Internet Protocol Version 6, Version 6 of the Internet communication Protocol), and in the transition phase from IPv4 to IPv6, some websites will support both IPv4 connection and IPv6 connection, and provide both IPv4 format address and IPv6 format address to the outside.

When a user accesses a website managed and supported by the server (cluster) 103 through the terminal device 1, the terminal device 1 may execute the network connection method of the embodiment of the present disclosure, sort and group a plurality of IP addresses corresponding to the accessed website according to the historical connection power, and perform racing connection among the plurality of IP addresses in the group, thereby increasing the connection power of the website and increasing the speed of establishing network connection.

The network connection method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure may be generally performed by the terminal device 101. Accordingly, the network connection device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure may be generally disposed in the terminal device 101.

It should be noted that fig. 1 is only an example of a system architecture to which the embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to help those skilled in the art understand the technical content of the present disclosure, and does not mean that the embodiments of the present disclosure may not be applied to other devices, systems, environments or scenarios.

Fig. 2 schematically shows a flow chart of a network connection method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in fig. 2, the network connection method according to the embodiment may include operations S210 to S250.

In operation S210, a network connection request is received. The user may initiate a connection request via a client in the terminal device 1. For example, a user inputs information of a website to be accessed at a search interface of a browser. The terminal device 1 receives the network connection request, wherein the request may contain, for example, a domain name (e.g., www.xxx.com) of the visited website.

In operation S220, M IP addresses corresponding to a website to be accessed are obtained based on the network connection request, where M is an integer greater than or equal to 2. For example, in one embodiment, the client may upload the domain name in the network connection request to the domain name resolution server. After performing DNS (Domain Name System) resolution, the Domain Name server obtains an IP address list corresponding to the website Domain Name, and then returns the IP address list to the client. In another embodiment, for example, when the client is not connected for the first time and an IP address list corresponding to the domain name is cached in the operating system of the terminal device 101, the IP address list corresponding to the domain name of the website may be directly obtained from the cache.

In operation S230, the M IP addresses are sorted according to the historical connection power of each IP address in the M IP addresses, so as to obtain an IP address sequence. And the IP addresses with higher power are sorted in the M IP addresses in advance.

Fig. 3 schematically shows a schematic diagram of a sequence of IP addresses according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to fig. 3, a plurality of IP addresses (illustrated in fig. 3 as IP1, IP2, IP3, IP4, IP5, IP6, …, where the numbers are only used to distinguish different IP addresses, and do not have a sequential meaning) are returned, for example, through the DNS nameserver in operation S220. The IP addresses are connected into a power sequence according to respective histories, wherein the IP addresses with higher power are connected in the history and the power sequence is higher.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a historical connection success rate of each IP address of M IP addresses (e.g., IP1, IP2, IP3, IP4, IP5, IP6, and …) may be obtained before operation S230, where the historical connection power of one IP address includes a historical connection success number and a connection success time, or a historical connection failure number and a connection failure time of the IP address.

Thus, when sorting the plurality of IP addresses (e.g., IP1, IP2, IP3, IP4, IP5, IP6), this may be done according to any one of the following logic, or a combination of the following: the higher the historical connection success frequency, the higher the ranking of the IP addresses; or when the historical connection success times are the same, the IP addresses which are closer to the current time at the latest connection success time are ranked more forward; or, the higher the historical connection failure times, the later the IP address ranking; or when the historical connection failure times are the same, the IP addresses which are closer to the current time at the latest connection failure time are ranked more backwards.

Next, in operation S240, every N IP addresses in the IP address sequence are divided into a racing connection group, so as to obtain an address group sequence, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 2, and N is less than or equal to M.

Referring to fig. 3, when N is 2, the IPs 1 to IP6 may be divided into three racing connection groups, where the IPs 1 and IP2 belong to one racing connection group, the IPs 3 and IP4 belong to one racing connection group, and the IPs 5 and IP6 belong to one racing connection group.

When N is 3, the IPs 1-IP 6 may be divided into two racing connection groups, where IP1, IP2 and IP3 belong to one racing connection group, and IP4, IP5 and IP6 belong to the other racing connection group.

In other embodiments, N may take the value of 4 or even other values. The specific value of N may be selected and determined according to practical applications, which is not limited in this disclosure.

Then, in operation S250, according to the sequence of each racing connection group in the address group sequence, the N IP addresses in the racing connection group ranked at the top are preferentially used to initiate a connection attempt in parallel until any one IP address is successfully connected or M IP addresses are all failed to be connected.

For example, when the first racing connection group and the second racing connection group are two immediately preceding and succeeding in sequence in the address group sequence, after the connection of all the N IP addresses in the first racing connection group fails, the N IP addresses in the second racing connection group are used to initiate a connection attempt in parallel.

With continued reference to fig. 3, as previously described, when N is 2, the IPs 1-6 may be divided into three racing connection groups. Then IP3 and IP4 will initiate connection attempts in parallel when both IP1 and IP2 fail to connect. The situation is similar when N is 3. Therefore, when the network connection is established, the connection can be accelerated, and the historical connection is ensured to be connected into the IP address with high power to try racing connection preferentially.

According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, in operation S250, if the race connection is successful, that is, after any one of the M IP addresses is successfully connected, the IP address which is successfully connected first is selected for subsequent data communication. Once connection is initiated, whether the network is successfully connected or not is no longer controlled by the operation of the electronic device, so that a situation that a plurality of IP addresses are successfully connected exists, and at the moment, the IP address which is successfully connected first is selected for subsequent data transmission. The IP address which is successfully connected firstly is also the IP address which consumes the shortest time for connection, the strongest and most stable network signal of the IP address is shown in the connection process, and the timeliness and the stability of network communication can be improved by establishing connection by using the IP address to carry out subsequent communication.

According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, after operation S250, the historical connection power of each IP address in the M IP addresses may also be updated according to the connection success or failure condition of the M IP addresses in the current network connection process. The updated historical connection power can be used as the basis for sorting the IP addresses in the next network connection.

In one embodiment, the N IP addresses within the racing connection group initiating connection attempts in parallel may be, for example, the N addresses initiating connection attempts simultaneously.

Or, in another embodiment, in order to reduce the additional CPU, memory and network overhead caused by concurrent multiple connections, a connection attempt may be initiated by an IP address ranked earlier in the N addresses, and when the IP address is not successfully connected within a predetermined time after the connection is initiated by the address, a connection attempt may be initiated by an IP address subsequent to the IP address. For example, for any two IP addresses within a racing connection group that are immediately adjacent in sequence (e.g., named first IP address and second IP address, respectively), a connection attempt is initiated by the first IP address, and then in response to a predetermined time after the connection attempt is initiated by the first IP address and the network has not yet been successfully connected, a connection attempt is initiated by the second IP address.

Fig. 4 and fig. 5 respectively illustrate diagrams of connection attempts performed by N IP addresses in the racing connection group with a delay when N is 2 and N is 3, where the predetermined time for initiating a request with a delay is 300ms, and when connection fails within 3s after a connection request is initiated, the connection is set to fail.

Reference is first made to fig. 4. Fig. 4 schematically illustrates a schematic diagram of an IP address racing connection within a racing connection group, where N-2, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to fig. 3, IP1 and IP2 belong to one racing connection group in fig. 4. In the racing connection group, connection is firstly initiated by IP1, and after 300ms, if IP1 is not successfully connected, IP2 initiates connection racing.

And then the IP1 and the IP2 are successfully connected, and the address is used as the address for subsequently sending the network request data.

After the IP1 and the IP2 initiate connection requests, the connection is either successful or unsuccessful within 3s from the time when the connection is initiated, and the connection fails. Whether the connection is successful or failed, the corresponding connection record can be added for the subsequent IP address sorting basis.

If the IP1 connection fails, the IP2 also fails to connect successfully (i.e., connection fails) within the originating connection request 3 s. All IP addresses within the racing connection set fail to connect. At this time, the racing connection is required to be started in the next racing connection group (including IP3 and IP4), and the racing connection process is similar to the illustration of IP1 and IP2 in fig. 4, and is not described in detail.

Reference is next made to fig. 5. Fig. 5 schematically illustrates a schematic diagram of an IP address racing connection within a racing connection group, where N-3, according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to fig. 3, in fig. 5, IP1, IP2 and IP3 belong to a racing connection group. Within the race connection set, a connection is first initiated by IP 1; then after 300ms, if the IP1 is not successfully connected, the IP2 initiates a connection attempt to perform connection racing; if no connection is successful by IP1 or IP2 after 300ms, IP3 initiates a connection attempt to compete for connection.

And then IP1, IP2 and IP3, which address is successfully connected first, take the address as the address for subsequently sending network request data.

After the IP1, IP2, and IP3 initiate connection requests, the connection is either successful or unsuccessful within 3s from the time when the connection is initiated, and the connection fails. Whether the connection is successful or failed, the corresponding connection record can be added for the subsequent IP address sorting basis.

If IP1, IP2, and IP3 all fail to connect, then all IP addresses within the racing connection group fail to connect. At this time, the racing connection is required to be started in the next racing connection group (including IP4, IP5 and IP6), and the racing connection process is similar to the illustration of IP1, IP2 and IP3 in fig. 5, and is not described again.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the M IP addresses acquired in operation S220 are classified into two types, an IPv 4-formatted address and an IPv 6-formatted address. Therefore, when the M IP addresses are sorted in operation S230 to obtain the IP address sequence, the IPv6 formatted address and the IPv4 formatted address in the M IP addresses may be alternately sorted, where the IPv6 formatted address is earlier than the IPv4 formatted address in the alternate sorting. For example, the IPv 6-formatted address and the IPv 4-formatted address may be historically concatenated into two columns, respectively, and then the two columns may be alternately interleaved and combined into one address sequence, wherein IPv6 precedes IPv4 in the process of interleaving.

At the transition stage from IPv4 to IPv6, in the early stage of IPv6 construction, due to the fact that infrastructure is still imperfect, connectivity or reliability problems can occur in IPv6 in a certain proportion. According to the embodiment of the disclosure, in the IPv4 and IPv6 dual-stack network environments, a client can simultaneously obtain IPv4 and IPv6 addresses corresponding to a domain name during a website access process, and sequentially and concurrently initiate network connections according to an alternate sequence of IPv6 and IPv4 and by adopting time delay of, for example, a hundred millisecond order until a certain IP address is successfully established, and subsequently, the IP address can be selected to send an actual transaction request. Therefore, by means of sequential trial, connection establishment is guaranteed to be preferentially selected in the IPv6 address format under the normal network environment of the IPv 6. Moreover, by means of concurrent attempts, the connection to the IPv4 can be rapidly degraded under the abnormal scene of the IPv6 network, the invalid waiting time of the user is reduced, and the user experience is improved.

Meanwhile, when the IPv6 and the IPv4 are sequenced, the IPv6 is arranged in front in the alternative sequencing, the historical connection power of the IP addresses is comprehensively considered, the historical connection power is preferentially used for carrying out racing connection on the IP addresses with high power, and the priority of trying to connect by using the IP addresses is reduced for the IP addresses with high historical racing failure rate, so that the preferential use of the IPv6 is guaranteed, the connection power can be increased in a weak network environment, and a user is helped to quickly select the optimal connection address.

According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, in the IP address sequence in which the IPv6 formatted address and the IPv4 formatted address are alternately ordered, N-2 may be set when the racing connection group is divided in operation S240, so that, when each racing connection group is, for example, one IPv6 formatted address and one IPv4 formatted address, a connection attempt may be initiated in parallel by the method of the embodiment of the present disclosure to perform connection racing. Fig. 6 and 7 illustrate an application example of alternately ordering IPv6 and IPv4 for two race connections. It is understood that this example is illustrative only and does not constitute any limitation on the embodiments of the disclosure.

Fig. 6 schematically shows a flowchart of a network connection method applied to IPv6 and IPv4 racing connection according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in fig. 6, the process can be divided into three phases of DNS resolution 601, address ordering 602, and connection bidding 603.

In DNS resolution 601: and simultaneously acquiring an AAAA record (IPv6) and an A record resolution (IPv4) address from the DNS server. Among them, AAAA is recorded as a DNS record that resolves a domain name to an address in IPv6 format, and a is recorded as a DNS record that resolves a domain name to an address in IPv4 format.

In address ordering 602: connecting DNS analysis results with history to form power, alternately sequencing according to the sequence of IPv6 and IPv4, and ensuring that the sequence of IPv6 format is in the front. Thereby giving preference to establishing a connection using IPV 6.

At the connection race 603: on the basis of serially and sequentially trying to establish connection with a server (cluster) 103 by using an IPv6 address, an asynchronous thread is newly added, connection with the server 103 is tried in parallel by using an IP address in an IPv4 format, and according to the successful connection condition and the time consumed by connection, the IP address which successfully establishes the connection firstly is selected to send a subsequent actual transaction request.

To reduce the resource consumption of additional clients and servers for synchronously initiating the IPv4 and IPv6 connections, after the IPv6 format address attempts to establish the connection unsuccessfully for a period of time (e.g., extending for 300ms), the thread for racing the IPv4 format IP address connection is started (refer to the aforementioned illustration of fig. 4). And selecting an IP for subsequent connection according to the successful connection condition and the connection speed of the IPv6 and the IPv4 addresses in one racing connection group, and closing racing failed connection.

Therefore, under the normal IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack network environment, the connection can be established by preferentially using the IPv6 address, and the development trend of gradually migrating to the IPv6 address is met. In addition, the problem of poor user experience caused by unstable network environment and long time consumption for degrading IPv4 in the early construction stage of IPv6 can be effectively solved, the degradation can be rapidly carried out in the abnormal network environment of IPv6, the network connection is established by using the IPv4 address, the user waiting time is reduced, and the user experience is improved.

Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating a network request transmission flow in the method flow illustrated in fig. 6.

As shown in fig. 7, according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, an original flow (i.e., a manner of sequentially trying to connect IP by IP) of a network library may be modified, and operations S701 to S709 are added.

In operation S701, a connection is newly established.

In operation S702, a candidate IP address (DNS resolution and ranking) is obtained: according to the AAAA record (IPv6) and A record analysis (IPv4) addresses of the operator LocalDNS range, the IP address sequence is adjusted to be IPv6 and IPv4 which are alternately ordered and are preferentially used by IPv 6; and sequentially using the sorted IP addresses as candidate IPs for the subsequent attempt to establish the connection.

In operation S703, it is determined whether the acquired candidate IP address satisfies a race condition: the racing condition can include that firstly, the operator returns two types of IP addresses, the first IP address is in an IPv6 format, and the second IP address is in an IPv4 format; and the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in each racing connection group do not fail in the application use process. If the race condition is satisfied, operation S704 is continued. If the competition conditions are not met, returning to the original flow of the network library.

In operation S704, the promoter thread 1(IPv 6): an attempt is made to establish a connection using the IPv6 address format.

In operation S705, it is determined whether the sub-thread 1 can successfully establish a connection within a prescribed time (e.g., 300 ms). If the connection can be established through the IPv6 address, returning to the original flow of the network library and sending the network request data by using the connection;

in operation S706, if the child thread 1 is not successfully connected within the specified time, the promoter thread 2(IPv 4): a parallel attempt is made to establish a connection using the IPv4 address format.

In operation S707, when the race is not completed, the network thread is blocked and waits for the execution result of the sub-thread. If no blocking occurs, the connection is continuously waited for.

In operation S708, it is determined whether the race is ended: and if at least one of the two sub-threads is successfully connected or both of the two sub-threads fail, finishing the racing.

In operation S709, a connection racing winner is selected: selecting the IP address which successfully establishes the connection firstly, and subsequently sending network request data by the user; if the connection is not successfully established by both the IPv4 and the IPv6 addresses in one racing connection group, reselecting the IPv6 address and the IPv4 address in the next racing connection group, and re-executing the processes from operation S701 to operation S709 until the connection is successfully established or all the candidate IP addresses fail to throw out the connection abnormity.

Therefore, according to the historical successful connection condition, the IP address with high success rate is preferentially selected to try to establish the connection, and the frequent concurrent increase of CPU, memory and network overhead caused by multiple racing connections is reduced. And in an IPv4/IPv6 dual stack but IPv6 abnormal network environment, the method can be degraded quickly, and the IPv4 address is used for establishing network connection, so that the waiting time of a user is reduced, and the user experience is improved.
