Description

提供多重服務之路由方法、系統以及行動通訊路由器Routing method, system and mobile communication router providing multiple services

本發明係有關於一種提供服務之路由方法、系統以及路由器,且特別有關於一種提供多重服務之路由方法、系統以及行動通訊路由器。The present invention relates to a routing method, system, and router for providing services, and more particularly to a routing method, system, and mobile communication router for providing multiple services.

目前現有的行動通訊路由器(例如,第三代行動通訊技術/長期演進技術(3rd-generation/Long Term Evolution,3G/LTE)路由器)可以讓區域網路(Local Area Netwofk,LAN)上的上網裝置透過無線廣域網路(Wireless Wide Area Network,WWAN)像是3G或是LTE行動通訊網路連上網際網路(Internet)。Currently, existing mobile communication routers (for example, 3rd-generation/Long Term Evolution (3G/LTE) routers) can provide access devices on a local area network (Local Area Netwofk, LAN). Through the Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN), it is like a 3G or LTE mobile communication network connected to the Internet.

此外,行動通訊營運商除了提供上網服務外,也陸續提供新的服務,例如多媒體簡訊(Multimedia Messaging Service,MMS)、網路電話(Voice over Internet Protocol,VoIP)及行動視訊等服務。目前用戶可以透過手持式裝置(例如行動電話)來使用這些新服務。In addition, in addition to providing Internet services, mobile communication operators are also offering new services such as Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and mobile video services. Currently, users can use these new services through handheld devices such as mobile phones.

第1圖係顯示目前上網裝置透過行動通訊路由器連網之網路架構示意圖。如第1圖所示,於區域網路110上的上網裝置101及102先透過行動通訊路由器120連上基地台130後,再使用存取點名稱(Internet Access Point Name,Internet APN)與行動通訊核心網路(Core Network)140上的網際網路閘道器(Internet Gateway)150連接上網際網路(Internet)160。The first figure shows the network architecture of the current Internet access device connected to the mobile communication router. As shown in FIG. 1, the Internet access devices 101 and 102 on the local area network 110 are connected to the base station 130 through the mobile communication router 120, and then use the Internet Access Point Name (Internet Access Point Name, Internet APN) and the mobile communication. An Internet Gateway 150 on the Core Network 140 is connected to the Internet 160.

第2圖係顯示為目前行動通訊路由器120之模組方塊示意圖。如第2圖所示並參考第1圖,行動通訊路由器120包括一行動通訊模組121、路由器處理器122及區域網路模組/無線區域網路模組123。行動通訊模組121可以讓行動通訊路由器120連上行動通訊網路(例如,3G或LTE網路)。而路由器處理器122負責行動通訊網路的連線管理及網路封包轉送(包含路由(routing)與網路轉址協定(Network Address Translation,NAT)。區域網路模組/無線區域網路模組123可以讓上網裝置101及102與行動通訊路由器120連結。FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the module of the current mobile communication router 120. As shown in FIG. 2 and referring to FIG. 1, the mobile communication router 120 includes a mobile communication module 121, a router processor 122, and a regional network module/wireless area network module 123. The mobile communication module 121 can connect the mobile communication router 120 to a mobile communication network (for example, a 3G or LTE network). The router processor 122 is responsible for the connection management and network packet forwarding of the mobile communication network (including routing and network address translation (NAT). Regional network module/wireless area network module 123 allows the Internet devices 101 and 102 to be connected to the mobile communication router 120.

然而,今日行動通訊營運商已透過不同的存取點名稱提供新的服務。行動通訊路由器可以透過網路封包中的網際網路協定位址(IP address)、協定識別符(Protocol ID)及埠號(Port number)來分辨出區域網路上的上網裝置需要使用何種服務,再使用相對應的存取點名稱將網路封包導向正確的閘道器。然而在這多重服務網路中,每個閘道器所連結的網路通常也具有獨立的網域名稱系統伺服器(Domain Name System Server,DNS Server),若使用現今行動通訊路由器之架構,於區域網路上的上網裝置則將無法區別出何時該使用哪一個網域名稱系統伺服器。However, today's mobile operators have provided new services through different access point names. The mobile communication router can identify the service required by the Internet access device on the local area network through the Internet address, protocol ID and port number in the network packet. Then use the corresponding access point name to direct the network packet to the correct gateway. However, in this multi-service network, the network connected to each gateway usually has a separate Domain Name System Server (DNS Server). If the architecture of today's mobile communication routers is used, Internet devices on the local area network will not be able to distinguish when to use which domain name system server.

有鑑於此,一種更進一步可提供多重服務之路由方法、系統以及行動通訊路由器是有待開發的。In view of this, a routing method, a system, and a mobile communication router that further provide multiple services are yet to be developed.
