Description

Limited sharing method of high speed internet authorized IP address {METHOD FOR SHARING AN AUTHORIZED INTERNET PROTOCOL ADDRESS OF ULTRA HIGHSPEED INTERNET RESTRICTIVELY}

The present invention relates to a limited sharing method of high-speed Internet public IP address, and more particularly, a high-speed Internet service provider provides a public IP address to an Internet service user, but the user pays a predetermined fee in addition to the basic fee, and the contracted number. It is about the limited sharing method of the high speed Internet public IP address which allows limited IP address sharing within the network.

The high speed internet service currently used provides services through various subscriber terminal devices such as ADSL Modem and Cable Modem. This service is based on providing a subscriber with a public IP address in the form of a fixed or dynamic Internet Protocol (IP) address. Therefore, a subscriber who wants to access only one computer to the Internet service is provided with one subscriber station and one public IP address, and a subscriber who wants to access many Internet services to one subscriber terminal device and the applied Internet access. A public IP address corresponding to the number of computers is provided.

In terms of high-speed Internet service providers, it is a basic condition to provide a contracted number of computers to access the Internet service and to provide a public IP address for the contracted number. However, from the point of view of many high-speed Internet service subscribers, using a plurality of public IP addresses can be expensive and install commercially available IP routers (or Internet routers) despite the agreements with high-speed Internet service subscribers. In this case, many computers are connected to one public IP address.

For high speed Internet service providers, such unauthorized sharing of IP addresses not only impairs the profitability of the business and increases the load on the data communication network, but also makes it difficult to predict the load on the data communication network. However, it is very difficult to detect this. .

IP address sharing is a standard technology that allows a public IP address to be divided into multiple private IP addresses (or unauthorized IP addresses) by using a translation program called NAT (Network Address Translation) to access the Internet. NAT is provided by an IP address sharer or a subscriber station equipped with an IP address sharing function. This feature allows you to share a single public IP address and assign multiple private IP addresses. In theory, a single public IP address allows 253 computers to simultaneously access the Internet.

With the rapid spread of the Internet in a short time around the world, the shortage of public IP addresses, the Internet addressing system, is becoming serious, and this problem is particularly serious in Korea. In addition, due to the rapid development of information and communication technology and its application fields, the demand for various Internet accesses such as Internet refrigerators, Internet microwave ovens, Internet televisions, as well as computers is exploding.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to allow a user to share a public IP address under the approval of a high speed internet service provider.

Still another object of the present invention is to allow a user to share and use a public IP address within a specific number with the approval of a high speed internet service provider.

1 is a view for explaining a process of restrictively sharing a public IP address in accordance with the present invention.

In the limited sharing method of the high-speed Internet public IP address of the present invention, by supplying a limited number of IP address sharer or a subscriber terminal device with a built-in IP address sharing function that can share and use a public IP address directly to a user of a high-speed Internet service, It allows the high speed Internet users to use IP address sharing only within the contracted number of IP address sharing users.

In addition, the restriction of IP address sharing according to the present invention is characterized in that it is possible to sequentially assign only a contracted number of private IP addresses or to deny access more than the contracted number by checking the number of connected computers.

In addition, according to the present invention, a predetermined fee is additionally collected according to the contracted number of IP address sharing users in addition to the basic high-speed Internet service.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a view for explaining a process of restrictively sharing a public IP address in accordance with the present invention.

As can be seen in the figure, connecting the user's computer 40 to the Internet 10 is generally via the ADSL Modem 20. On the other hand, IP router 30 has been used to connect a plurality of computers 40 to the Internet using one public IP address.

In the IP address sharing service according to the present invention, the IP sharer 30 (or subscriber terminal with an IP sharing function) is configured such that the number of users who can share and use a public IP address is limited to a specific number and cannot be changed arbitrarily. Device) directly to users of high-speed Internet service.

The high speed internet service provider first receives a request for IP address sharing from the user (customer) together with the basic high speed internet access service or an existing IP address sharing request from the existing high speed internet service user. At this time, the Internet service provider directly installs an IP sharer configured to share IP addresses with subscriber terminals, or provides a subscriber terminal device with an IP address sharing function. In addition to the basic high-speed Internet access service charges, high-speed Internet service providers collect a monthly fee according to the contracted number of IP address sharers. Even if the IP address sharing fee is much cheaper than that of a public IP address, the high-speed Internet service provider can obtain additional profits.

In this way, high-speed Internet service providers can secure additional sources of business revenue through IP address sharing services, improve the efficiency of data network design and construction based on data on IP address sharers, and block IP address sharing. It is possible to avoid the criticism of consumers and to accommodate users of voice IP address sharing into the positive service.

In addition, from the point of view of the users of high-speed Internet service, it is possible to economically access the Internet in the home or small office that wants a large number of computers, and does not have to worry about the use of voice IP address sharing, and various Internet devices (information appliances) Etc.) can be facilitated.

Claims (1)

In the limited sharing method of the high speed Internet public IP address, By supplying IP address sharer with limited number that can be used by sharing public IP address or subscriber terminal device with built-in IP address sharing function to users of high speed internet service, IP addresses are only available within the number of IP address sharing users. Limit the use of address sharing, and the limitation of the public IP address sharing is to allow to assign only a predetermined number of private IP addresses sequentially or to deny access more than the contracted number by checking the number of connected computers. Limited sharing of high-speed Internet public IP addresses.
