Description

[0001] METHOD FOR CLASSIFYING AND MANAGING CLIENT APPLIED PRIVATE IP ADDRESS IN CLOUD SERVICE [0002]

The present invention relates to a cloud-based client classification and management method, and more particularly, to a method for classifying and distinguishing each client using a redundant IP band when using a cloud service.

Since the efficiency of network assets through the Cloud System is important, a plurality of servers are required to manage a plurality of clients. Virtualization refers to physically integrating other systems logically or by logically partitioning one system to efficiently use resources, and by using VMware to manage each client on one hardware The virtual server is made equal to the number of clients.

Virtualization technology makes it possible to provide hosts, routers, and switches, which are physical devices (machines) of a network, to virtual hosts, virtual routers, and virtual switches, which are virtual machines. Among them, the virtual host is already commercialized as a cloud computing technology. Since the virtual host is assigned a public IP (Internet Protocol) address together with a domain name like the physical device, the IP address shortage is increased.

On the other hand, when a private IP is allocated, an address translator is required to convert the IP address to a public IP address so that an external connection can be made. In other words, there is no problem when used as an independent closed network because private IP can be allocated to each company in duplicate, but in the cloud environment, the same address exists in the cloud. The solution is to use an IPv6 address that can be allocated almost infinitely, but it is not possible in a short time to convert all enterprise networks to IPv6. Therefore, cloud computing should be enabled in an environment using existing private IPv4 addresses.

Therefore, when accessing the private network via the public network in the mobile smart work environment, the communication service providers allocate the private IPv4 address to the access network and the terminal, and convert the ACK, GGSN and PDN gateway to the public address through NAT. Prior art relating to this is disclosed in Korean Patent No. 10-1344270 (published on Jan. 28, 2014).

However, when the enterprise terminal using the private address tries to use the cloud computing service without changing the address, the conflict between the private address managed in the public network and the private address of the enterprise terminal occurs, and the client can not be managed. For this purpose, server virtualization in the cloud does not lead to basic hardware performance, and software fee for using VMware is added. Therefore, there is a need for a method of managing terminals and providing cloud services without virtualization.

In an embodiment of the present invention, since each client uses a private IP internally and needs to classify a duplicate private IP according to each client, the MAC values of the router equipments are different even though each client uses the same private IP band Which is capable of classifying a client using a router by adding a database table for recording the MAC of the router equipment when storing the MAC value of the router equipment for each client account and calling ARP information, Based client classification and management providing method. It should be understood, however, that the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described technical problems, and other technical problems may exist.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for registering a router connected to an account in a database table for managing at least one client, Adding the table, and storing the MAC value of the router in the added table.

According to any one of the above-mentioned objects of the present invention, since complicated hardware and software are not required for distinguishing clients, it is possible to lower the unit cost, and even if it has a similar network environment or the same network environment, And it is possible to classify information by account, so that contents to be displayed for each account can be generated differently, so it is possible to use an independent server without using virtualization, and since there is no need to provide a virtual server for each client, Can be optimized and maximized, and VMware's software usage costs can be saved, increasing cost and efficiency.

The cloud server 100 may be a server that adds a table to register the MAC of the router 500 for each account in the database of the server. Also, the cloud server 100 may be a server for storing the MAC value of the router 500 in a database in which information of the network equipment set in the account is registered.

The cloud server 100 can classify the plurality of terminals 400 based on the MAC value of the router 500 when the terminal 400 of the client 300 that overlaps with the private IP exists , It is possible to identify a plurality of terminals 400 even when a plurality of terminals 400 in the enterprise network are gathered in an outside cloud service. Accordingly, the cloud server 100 can classify and output the network information of the client 300 because the account of the client 300 and the MAC value of the router 500 of the account are connected. In addition, it is possible to classify information for each account, and it is possible to operate as an independent server for each account without separating servers through server virtualization (VMware).

One example of such a network 200 is a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) network, an LTE (Global System for Mobile Communication) network, and the like. Long term evolution network, a 5rd Generation Partnership Project (5GPP) network, a World Interoperability for Microwave Access (WIMAX) network, Internet, a LAN (Local Area Network), a Wireless LAN Network, a PAN (Personal Area Network), a Bluetooth network, a satellite broadcast network, an analog broadcast network, a DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) network, and the like.

At least one client 300 accesses the cloud server 100, logs in using the account information issued through membership registration, authenticates the account through login, and then transmits an access signal using hardware resources Lt; / RTI > At this time, at least one client 300 is provided with remote monitoring, file transfer protocol (FTP), web hosting, and cloud service through a cloud machine suitable for a web hosting environment. At least one client 300 includes a plurality of terminals 400 and each of the individual terminals 400 may have the same account and may be an enterprise terminal belonging to one network.

Here, the plurality of terminals 400 may be a terminal belonging to one client 300 and having a private IP assigned thereto arbitrarily assigned thereto to access the Internet. A plurality of terminals 400 and a client 300 may be the same device. In an embodiment of the present invention, a client is defined as a group for establishing each company or a closed network, As shown in FIG.

In this case, the private IP band may be composed of A classes: 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255, B classes: 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255, and C classes: 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255, and a plurality of terminals 400 Is connected to the Internet via the router 500 with the assigned private IP.

At this time, the plurality of terminals 400 may be implemented as a computer capable of connecting to a remote server or terminal through the network 200. Here, the computer may include, for example, a notebook, a desktop, a laptop, and the like on which a WEB browser is installed. At this time, a plurality of terminals 400 may be implemented as terminals capable of accessing a remote server or terminal through the network 200. The plurality of terminals 400 may be, for example, a wireless communication device with guaranteed portability and mobility, such as a navigation system, a Personal Communication System (PCS), a Global System for Mobile communications (GSM), a Personal Digital Cellular (PDC) Handyphone System), PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), IMT (International Mobile Telecommunication) -2000, Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) -2000, W-Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA), Wibro (Wireless Broadband Internet) A handheld based wireless communication device such as a smartphone, a smartpad, a tablet PC, and the like.

The router 500 may be a device that extracts the location of a packet, specifies a route to that location, and directs the data packet along the route to the next device. At this time, the router 500 connects two or more logical subnetworks, but may not coincide with the physical interface of the router 500. At this time, the router 500 has a MAC value unique to the apparatus, which can be used to identify a plurality of terminals 400 that are duplicated in the private IP by identifying and distinguishing the client 300.

2, the cloud server 100 may include a classifier 110, an adder 120, a storage 130, and a classifier 140.

The cloud server 100 can classify each client 300 by account and register the MAC of the upper router 500 for each account. The cloud server 100 adds a table for registering a MAC for each account to the database of the server 100 and adds the MAC value of the router 500 registering the information of the network devices set in the account The individual terminals 400 can be distinguished from each other even if a plurality of terminals 400 are given a duplicate private IP.

For this, the classifying unit 110 may classify at least one client 300 by account. Accordingly, the cloud server 100 can store a hard disk image for a computing environment set for each client and group from at least one client 300. [ The cloud server 100 can store data processed by at least one client 300 and can store application program files, game program files, text data files, document files, picture files, music files , A moving picture file, a barcode file, and the like, which are provided from a provider (content provider).

The adding unit 120 may add a table for registering the router 500 connected to each account in the database table managing the at least one client 300. [ At this time, the database table may include, but is not limited to, a MAC value, an IP address, a start time, a final confirmation, a system name, and port information.

The storage unit 130 may store the MAC value of the router 500 in the added table. Here, since the router 500 has a unique router 500 for each client 300, such as a company or a group, the router 500 can distinguish each client by using the MAC of the router 500. [ Even if an enterprise includes a plurality of routers 500, it is possible to distinguish the case where the MAC of the router 500 is registered in the account of the same client 300. That is, the router 500 is registered for each account of the client 300.

The classification unit 140 stores the MAC value of the router 500 in the table added in the storage unit 130 and then transmits the MAC values of the plurality of terminals 400 included in at least one client 300 having the same MAC value , And MAC values. At this time, one client 300 includes a plurality of terminals 400, and a plurality of terminals 400 can use the same or different private IP terminals.
