Abstract

The invention discloses a method for responding ARP request to NAT virtual address which comprises, examining whether NAT transformed address and certain interface IP address in the router are in the same network segment, if so, searching whether the virtual address is registered in the chained list, then performing linkage counting to the virtual address, or registering the virtual address to the interface of the same network section, finally initializing the linkage numbering of the virtual address to 1.

Description

Method to the response of the arp request of network address translation virtual address
Technical field:
The present invention relates to a kind of method that the ARP request of NAT virtual address is responded.
Background technology:
NAT (Network Address Translator, network address translation) be used to allow the multiple pc machine on the dedicated network (to use private address range, 10.0.x.x for example, 192.168.x.x, 172.x.x.x) shared single, IPv4 (the 4th version of AARP) address that can overall route, be that NAT can use identical IPv4 address in multiple internet subnet, guaranteed that a limited number of IPv4 address used by user as much as possible, NAT also supports the conversion of external source address simultaneously, it receives the packet of returning in the outside, according to the NAT table address translation is become inner local I P again, and packet is transmitted in the past; NAT also supports other related application such as load balancing of internal server.
Visit the situation of outside publicly-owned net as Fig. 1 for using NAT, wherein eth0/0 is the interior network interface of NAT, and eth0/1 is outer network interface, and the Intranet network segment is 10.5.5.0/24, and the outer net network segment is 20.1.1.0/24.The address translation rule of configuration NAT is:
ip?nat?inside?source?static?10.5.5.2?20.1.1.1
The implication of this rule is that the source address 10.5.5.2 of Intranet PC1 is converted to outside public network address, and that use is the IP address 20.1.1.1 of the interface eth0/1 that links to each other with outer net herein.
Under such configuration, NAT can carry out normal address transition, message that intranet host PC1 sends converts address 20.1.1.1 through source address behind the NAT to by 10.5.5.2, and can with the outer net main frame for example the IP address be that the Server of 20.1.1.10 carries out normal communication.
If but when doing address transition, interior net address 10.5.5.2 is converted to external address 20.1.1.2, and this address is not the interface IP address 20.1.1.1 that links to each other with outer net, neither outer net in the IP address of any network equipment, and with the outer net interface IP address at the same network segment.As the networking situation of Fig. 1, if the following NAT address translation rule of configuration;
ip?nat?inside?source?static?10.5.5.2?20.1.1.2
In this configuration, after the message of intranet host PC1 sends, carry out the conversion work of source address, source address 10.5.5.2 is converted to send to outer net main frame (for example Server, the IP address is 20.1.1.10) behind the 20.1.1.2 through the NAT router.Owing to receive that the source address of message is 20.1.1.2, so the destination address of Server back message using when replying is 20.1.1.2, and address 20.1.1.2 is not certain interface IP address of router, neither this network in certain host address, we are referred to as the NAT virtual address.When sending message, because the outer net of virtual address 20.1.1.2 and NAT belongs to a network segment together, promptly therefore the 20.1.1.0/24 network segment does not spend and looks into routing table, and directly carry out two layers of forwarding.Before forwarding, need know the other side's MAC Address, also be the pairing MAC Address of virtual address 20.1.1.2.Owing to do not know the pairing MAC Address of 20.1.1.2, the network equipment (Server among Fig. 1) that sends message can send the ARP request on the 20.1.1.0/24 network segment, and request IP address is the pairing MAC Address of equipment of 20.1.1.2.
Because 20.1.1.2 is the virtual address that NAT uses, interface eth0/1 can not respond the ARP request to IP address 20.1.1.2 on the NAT router.For outer net main frame Server, not response of ARP request can not get the pairing MAC Address of IP address 20.1.1.2, and response message just can't send, thereby causes being undertaken by NAT the failure of address transition and data forwarding.
When using NAT to carry out address transition, if the interface IP address of IP address after the user configured conversion and router belongs to a network segment together, response message can not find the pairing MAC Address in purpose IP address because of the failure of ARP request, thereby the NAT router can not receive response message, the address transition failure.
Summary of the invention:
Existing problem and shortage when at NAT the NAT virtual address being sent message the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of method that the ARP request of NAT virtual address is responded.
The present invention is achieved in that a kind of method that the ARP request of NAT virtual address is responded, and may further comprise the steps:
Check after the NAT conversion the address whether with router in certain interface IP address at the same network segment, if, then search this virtual address and whether in chained list, register, if registered, after then new url is set up, link count is carried out in this virtual address; If unregistered, then the virtual address is registered on the interface of this same network segment, after link is set up, the link count of this virtual address is initialized as 1.
Further, this method also comprises: link stops, and checks in the chained list whether register the virtual address, if having, then the link count with this virtual address subtracts 1; If link count is 0, the link of this virtual address of cancel register.
Further, the content of each nodes records in the described chained list that contains the virtual address includes:
The virtual address needs the IP address that request is responded to ARP, and this address is the IP address after the NAT conversion, and belongs to a network segment together with certain interface IP address;
Interface index, the IP address of interface and the above-mentioned IP address of need responding belong to the interface of a network segment together, and when receiving the ARP request to above-mentioned virtual IP address, this interface is responded the MAC Address of oneself to the requesting party;
Link count after the virtual address link is set up, increases the counting of the link of this virtual address, and this counting expression has several being linked to use this virtual address at present.
The present invention just can dispose the IP address that belongs to a network segment with interface IP address together when configuration NAT address translation rule, cancelled the restriction greatly when using NAT.And the present invention has saved system resource as much as possible, is embodied in the following aspects:
When 1, the source address of configure user is transformed into and belongs to the address of a network segment together with interface, interface can respond the ARP request to this address, the message that is sent to this address so just can be that target MAC (Media Access Control) address sends with the MAC of interface, thereby interface 0/1 can successfully be received the message of back direction, can normally carry out through the communication after the address transition;
2, only when using this virtual address transformation rule to set up communication link veritably, NAT just can go registration to this virtual address ARP request responding in the present invention.And, when the last item communication link that uses certain virtual address is closed, communication link in the log-on message of this virtual address counting can be zero, represent current link use this address to carry out communication, NAT can delete the registration that request responds to virtual address ARP.By adopting such method, reduced the entry-into-force time of virtual address as much as possible, thereby the influence of registration virtual address docking port module has been reduced to minimum degree, saved system resource simultaneously;
3, when the address modification of interface, the corresponding interface of same IP address registration can upgrade automatically along with the generation of new url.For example, the user has disposed the conversion of address 30.1.1.2, and at this moment without any the IP address genus 30.1.1.0/24 network segment of an interface, does not therefore also have the ARP request interface of link registering IP address 30.1.1.2.But in system's running, if the user has become certain interface IP address an address of the 30.1.1.0/24 network segment, after this when setting up new communication link, NAT can be checked through this interface need register ARP request to IP address 30.1.1.2, and can register on this interface.The consistency that can keep log-on message and interface IP address like this.
In a word, the present invention can solve the virtual address ARP request responding problem that NAT is used effectively, has widened the network environment that NAT uses, and has increased the compatibility of NAT to various configuration condition.The present invention only uses limited system resource when being necessary.The present invention can guarantee the ARP request of the virtual address of NAT configuration is correctly responded, and can guarantee the efficient of address transition work again.
Description of drawings:
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the present invention is made detailed description.
Fig. 1 is a prior NAT retransmission method schematic diagram;
Fig. 2 sets up the flow chart of link for the present invention;
Fig. 3 closes the flow chart of link for the present invention.
Embodiment:
The present invention is when NAT carries out address transition and set up a new communication link, check after the current conversion the IP address whether with the IP address of NAT router outgoing interface at the same network segment, if with outgoing interface at the same network segment, registration is to this virtual IP address ARP request responding on this interface, and this interface can be responded the MAC Address of oneself to this IP address ARP and ask after the registration.When this communication link is closed, the ARP request response of this address of cancel register on this interface.Be specially: check after the NAT conversion the address whether with router in certain interface IP address at the same network segment, if, then search this virtual address and whether in chained list, register, if registered, after then new url is set up, link count is carried out in this virtual address; If unregistered, then the virtual address is registered on the interface of this same network segment, after link is set up, the link count of this virtual address is initialized as 1.When link stops, check in the chained list whether register the virtual address, if having, then the link count with this virtual address subtracts 1; If link count is 0, the link of this virtual address of cancel register.Here, the content of each nodes records in the chained list includes: the virtual address, need the IP address that request is responded to ARP, and this address is the IP address after the NAT conversion, and belongs to a network segment together with certain interface IP address; Interface index, the IP address of interface and the above-mentioned IP address of need responding belong to the interface of a network segment together, and when receiving the ARP request to above-mentioned virtual IP address, this interface is responded the MAC Address of oneself to the requesting party; Link count after the virtual address link is set up, increases the counting of the link of this virtual address, and this counting expression has several being linked to use this virtual address at present.
As shown in Figure 2, when setting up a new communication link, check after the NAT conversion the address whether with router interface IP address at the same network segment, if, then this virtual address is registered on this interface, this interface can correctly be responded the ARP request of this virtual address.If not, then carry out conventional treatment.
After being registered to a virtual address on certain interface, this log-on message be preserved, set up a chained list and write down information such as all NAT virtual IP address of having registered and pairing interface thereof.The content that each node write down of chained list mainly contains following key element: virtual IP address, interface index, communication link counting, wherein, virtual IP address, the IP address that need respond ARP request, this address is the IP address after the NAT conversion, and belongs to a network segment together with certain interface IP address, needs this interface that the ARP request of this address is responded; Interface index, interface IP address and virtual IP address belong to the interface of a network segment together, and when receiving the ARP of virtual IP address request, this interface will be responded the MAC Address of oneself to the requesting party; Link count for a NAT virtual address of having registered ARP request response, has many communication links and uses this address to carry out the NAT conversion simultaneously.If virtual IP address of many common uses of link is arranged, the only ARP request of registration virtual address when article one links when the back link is set up, only increases this counting, represents to have at present several being linked to use these virtual addresses.When cancelling the registration that virtual address ARP is asked, only when not using this virtual address, just can not cancel all communication links, and also be that link count is the registration of cancellation in 0 o'clock to virtual address ARP request.
Use same virtual addresses owing to have many links,, before registration, check to have or not this address to exist in the log-on message that has write down, if having then the link count in this address registration information is added 1 for avoiding repeated registration.If do not generate this log-on message, then generate this record and link count is initialized as 1.
As shown in Figure 3, after communication link stops, check that this chain is connected to not register the virtual address, if having then the communication link in this log-on message is subtracted 1.When the communication link number is 0, represent that this virtual address no longer used by any link, at this moment can this virtual address of cancel register, also promptly no longer need the ARP that interface responds this virtual address and asked.
