随着 IP组播技术的成熟, IP组播应用越来越多,但是在 IP模型中, 任何一台主机都能够不受限制地加入到任何一个组播组, 到目前为止, 还没有一种方法能够有效解决 IP组播网中的主机受控加入问题。
众所周知, 在 IP组播模型中, 一个组播组是由发送者和接收者组成 的, 发送者到接收者之间由组播分布树连接。 当发送者需要向某个组发 送数据时, 主机直接把数据发送到与其相连的路由器, 该路由器将该数 据通过组播分发树转发给组播接收者, 路由器不对发送报文的主机作任 何限制。 当一台主机想接收某个组播组的数据时, 它才艮据因特网组管理 协议( Internet Group Management Protocol, 筒称: IGMP协议) 向与其 相连的路由器发送 Member report报文, 该路由器处理此报文之后会将收 到的该组播组数据转发给该主机; 同样, 路由器不会对想接收组播报文 的主机作任何限制。 随着 IP组播应用的商业化, 组播安全已经成为必须 尽快获得解决的一个问题, 而阻止未授权的接收者接收组播报文是组播 安全的关键一环。
Norihiro Ishikawa等人曽提出 IGMP扩展协议《IP组播授权的 IGMP扩 展》 ( IGMP Extension for Authentication of IP Multicast , 刊于 drafl-ietf-idmr-igmp-auth-01.txt )和 RADIUS扩展协议《组播路由器认证 其中远程拨号用户认证服务 RADIUS为 Remote Authentication Dial In User Service的缩写, 刊于 draft-yamanouchi-RADIUS-ext-OO.txt ) , 可以 对发送者和接收者进行认证。
上述的 IGMP扩展协议是在 IGMP V2的基础上进行扩展, 它增加了 对组播发送者和接收者的认证功能, 阻止未授权的用户发送 /接受组播 包。 IGMP扩展协议使用一种需要经过三次握手、 口令加密的类似 PPP验 证协议 CHAP ( Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol ) 的 Challenge-Response机制来认证用户。 当一个组播发送者开始发送 IP组播 报文时, 入口路由器就可以用 challenge-response机制认证它。 入口路由 器在认证的时候可以使用 RADIUS作为认证服务器。 当认证通过后, 该 发送者发送的组播包就可以被入口路由器转发到 IP组播网中到达出口路 由器。 当认证不成功时, 入口路由器丟弃该发送者发送的组播包 ( silently ) 。 当一个组播接收者想要接收 IP组播报文时, 通过出口路由 认证通过后, 出口路由器开始将 IP组播包发送到该接收者。 当认证不成 功时, 出口路由器不转发 IP包到该接收者。
上述 RADIUS扩展协议是在 RAMUS的基础上进行扩展,它可以在入 口路由器和出口路由器处对组播发送者和接收者进行认证, 并跟踪用户 的组播数据, 为业务管理提供数据。 认谇服务器必须能够提供路由器请 求的认证业务, 认证时路由器提供用户的标识(UserlD )和口令。 为了 安全, 认证时要求使用基于 challenge的认证。 还必须对每个业务进行认 证,如对每个组播组地址进行认证。这是因为組播包是按组地址发送的, 用户的权限应该与组相关联。 除了再增加一些属性, 其他方面的要求与 RADIUS—样。 路由器是否使用 RADIUS认证是可以选择的。 当组播路由器被配置成支持使用 RADIUS计费时, 在组播业务的开 始, 它会生成一个计费开始报文, 并发送到 RADIUS组播计费服务器。 该计费开始报文描述了业务的类型, RADIUS组播计费服务器在收到该 报文后会回送一个确认报文。 在组播业务结束时, 组播路由器也会生成 一个计费结束报文, 并发送到 RADIUS组播计费服务器。 该计费结束报 文描述了业务的类型, RADIUS组播计费服务器在收到该报文后会回送 一个确认艮文。
当组播路由器收到一个 IGMP加入(IGMP Join )请求后, 它发送一 个 Access-Request报文给 RADIUS组播认证服务器请求认证。 在收到从 RADIUS组播认证服务器发来的认证通过响应后, 组播路由器发送一个 Account-Request/Start报文给 RADIUS组播计费服务器开始计费。 当组播 路由器收到一个 IGMP离开 (IGMP Leave ) 请求后, 它发送一个 Account-Request/Stop报文给组播计费服务器结束计费。 如果在一定时间 内组播路由器没有收到响应, RADIUS扩展协议建议组播路由器再连续 重发几次 Access-Request报文。组播计费服务器可以请求别的服务器来完 成计费功能(proxy )。 当计费服务器不能成功记录计费报文时, 它不能 发送 Accounting-Response确认报文给组播路由器。
此外, CISCO 公司开发了 CISCO 组管理协议 (CISCO Group Management Protocol, 简称: CGMP )用于解决以太网交换机环境下的 组播转发泛滥(flooding ) 的问题, 通过 CGMP, 三层设备可以控制二 层设备的转发表, 从而提供了一种手段, 可以在一定程度上控制用户的 授权接收。 CGMP的报文格式如图 1所示, 是由版本号 (Ver ) 4比特、 类型 (Type ) 4比特、 保留部分(Reserved ) 2字节、 报文中 GDA/USA 对的个数(Count ) l字节和若干个 GDA/USA对组成。其中 GDA( Group Destination Address )是一个 MAC组播地址, 是主机所要加入的组播組 的 IP地址对应的 MAC地址, USA ( Unicast Source Address )是要加入 组播组的主机的 MAC地址, 它是一个单播地址。
参见图 2所示, CGMP方法的工作过程如下: 主机 1发送 IGMP Membership Report报文加入組播组 224.1.2.3, 交换机用从该报文中解析 出 来 的 组 地 址 对 应 的 MAC 地 址 0100.5e01.0203 查 找 CAM(CAM:Content-Addressable Memory)表,因为 CAM表中没有匹配项, 该报文被转发(flooding )到包括 CPU和组播路由器的所有端口。 其中组 播路由器收到 IGMP Membership Report报文后, 除了对该艮文进行例行 处理外, 还生成一个 CGMP Join报文组播到交换机, 该报文包含了申请 加入组播组的主机的 MAC地址 (USA: 0080.c7a2.1093 )和申请加入的 组对应的 MAC地址(GDA: 0100.5e01.0203 ) , 并且包含 Join命令域。 当交换机收到该 CGMP Join报文后, 在 CAM表中加入一个表项, 包含 GDA (图示为: 0100.5e01.0203 )、 申请加入組播组的主机的端口号(图 示为: 2 ) 以及与交换机相连的路由器的端口号(图示为: 1 ) 。 其中, 主机端口号是通过 USA查表获得的。
参见图 3 , 当第四个主机 4加入组播组 224.1.2.3时, 同样发送 IGMP 成员资格上 4艮 ( IGMP Membership Report ) 艮文到交换机, 交换机解析 出加入的组为 224.1.2.3 , 使用其对应的 MAC地址 0100.5e01.0203查找 CAM表, 结果是找到该表项, 并将报文发送到该表项列出的端口 1和 2
(即路由器和主机 1 )。 而路由器收到 IGMP Membership Report报文后, 除了对该报文进行例行处理外, 还生成一个 CGMP加入 ( CGMP Join ) 报文组播到交换机, 该报文包含了申请加入组播組的主机的 MAC地址
( USA: 0080.c7b3.2174 ) 和申请加入的组对应的 MAC地址 ( GDA: 0100.5e01.0203 ) , 并且包含 Join命令域。 当交换机收到该 CGMP Join报 文后, 用 GDA查找 CAM表得到一个表项, 通过 USA查表获得 机4的端 口号 5, 然后将该端口号 5加入到该表项中。
上述的 IGMP扩展协同 RADIUS扩展的方法虽然解决了发送者与 接收者的授权问题, 但是仍然存在以下缺点: (1 )在共享网络上只要有 一个主机加入成功, 则其他所有主机都能接收到该组播数据, 因此无法 对未授权主机接收組播数据的状况进行控制。 如果采用密钥方法来解决 此问题, 则必须在认证前对各个主机分发密钥, 这又会带来许多限制和 麻烦。 (2 )如果采用该两个协议, 不但要更新路由器设备, 还需要修改 主机侧的 IGMP软件。 而且, 这两个协议都还没有标准化, 目前的主机 都不支持 IGMP扩展。 而 CISCO公司的 CGMP方法的缺点是: (1 )没 有将路由器对二层交换机的转发控制与主机 /用户的授权接收联系起来, 只是提供了控制二层交换机组播报文在其端口泛滥的控制方法, 也没有 提供认证授权用户加入组播组的方法。 ( 2 )路由器不能探测出主机 /用户 的 "无声撤离" (Silent Leave )。 发明内容
本发明的目的是提供一种受控组播的系统, 该系统为本发明实现受 控组播的方法提供了实施环境。
本发明的另一目的是提供一种受控组播的实现方法, 该方法能够克
CGMP
这两种现有的组播方法的各种缺陷, 可以较好地解决对参与组播的发送 者与接收者的授权认证和受控加入的问题。
本发明的目的是这样实现的: 一种受控组播的系统, 包括有以太网 交换机和组播路由器, 其中以太网交换机下行连接各用户主机, 上行与 组播路由器相连接, 该组播路由器上行连接其他系统的组播路由器, 该 以太网交换机完成二层组播交换, 该以太网交换机与用户主机之间使用
IGMP V2 (版本 2 )协议作为组管理协议; 其特征在于: 该受控组播系 统还包括有: 与该组播路由器相连接的 portal服务器和 AAA服务器, 其中 portal服务器用作用户接入认证的接口, AAA服务器用于保存用户 加入组播组的权限配置, 例如在 AAA服务器上配置有每个用户有权加 入的每个组播组的地址等; 该组播路由器则配合 AAA服务器一起共同 完成对用户加入组播組的权限认证, 并按照认证的结果下发控制命令., 控制以太网交换机进行组播转发。
所述的组播路由器与 AAA服务器之间采用对标准 RADIUS协议扩 展了的 RADIUS+协议作为通信协议, 而以太网交换机和组播路由器之 间采用组管理协议 ( HGMP: Huawei Group Management Protocol )作为 控制协议。
本发明的受控组播的方法是这样实现的: 该方法包括有下列步骤: 首先进行接入认证处理, 再由以太网交换机按端口划分 vlan及对主机 IGMP报文进行处理, 以及进行用户的识别、 加入组播的认证及由路由 器对 IGMP报文进行处理, 接着由组播路由器控制以太网交换机进行组 播转发, 两者之间采用 HGMP协议作为受控组播的控制协议; 之后, 交 换机对 HGMP控制报文进行处理和进行组播流的转发;主机完成转发后, 就退出組播组并作相应的处理。
该方法包括有下列步驟:
( 1 )首先进行接入认证处理: 当一主机访问网络时, 首先要通过 portal服务器提供的接口, 输入包括有用户名和密码的认证信息, 并由 AAA服务器通过这些信息来认证该主机的身份; 通过认证后, 路由器将 该主机的用户标识及其对应的 vlan号记录在一个用户组播访问权限表 中; ( 2 ) 以太网交换机按端口划分 vlan及对主机 IGMP报文进行处理: 以太网交换机根据端口划分 vlan,每个端口划分为一个 vlan,且其每个端 口连接一个主机用户, 当交换机收到主机发来的 IGMP报文时, 用该报 文的目的 MAC地址查找 CAM表进行转发, 其转发流程与单播报文相同: 即若查到该目的 MAC地址所对应的端口时, 按查到的端口转发组播^ :艮 文, 若没有查到该目的 MAC地址所对应的端口时, 将组播报文转发到所 有端口;
( 3 )进行用户的识别、 加入组播的认证及路由器对 IGMP报文进行 处理: 路由器收到 IGMP Membership Report报文后, 因为组播路由器收 到的从以太网交换机发来的数据包都有 vlan号, 通过查找第(1 )步驟中 记录的用户组播访问权限表,可以知道对应 UserlD,也就是知道该 IGMP Membership Report报文是哪个用户发送的 , 然后以查到的 UserlD为用户 名, 以主机所要加入的组播地址为属性, 发送扩展的 ADIUS认证报文 到 AAA服务器进行认证,由 AAA服务器根据用户申请的业务决定是否让 用户加入:如果用户拥有权限,则发送 accept报文作回应,否则发送 reject 报文回应; 路由器收到 reject报文后不作任何处理, 收到 accept报文后将 用户能够加入的组的组播地址写到用户组播访问权限表中, 并对该主机 加入的报文作通常组播路由器的例行处理, 然后生成一个 HGMP加入 ( HGMP Join )报文发送到交换机, 该 4艮文包含了申请加入组播组的主 机所连接的端口对应的 vlan号和申请加入的组播地址,并且包含 Join命令 域; 此外, 组播路由器还要如同普通组播路由器一样地对 IGMP Membership Report报文进行建立组播转发树的常规处理;
( 4 ) 由组播路由器控制以太网交换机进行組播转发, 两者之间采 用 HGMP协议作为受控组播的控制协议: 在以太网交换机上由组播路由 器控制其组播转发表的生成与删除, 当组播路由器允许某个主机加入某 个组时, 它给交换机发送包含有申请加入組播组的主机的 vlan号和申请 加入的组播地址的 HGMP Join报文; 当组播路由器要终止某个主机加入 某个组时, 它给交换机发送包含有终止加入组播组的主机的 vlan号和终 止加入的组播组地址的 HGMP离开(HGMP Leave )报文, 通过这种方 法, 組播路由器控制以太网交换机的组播转发;
( 5 )交换机对 HGMP控制报文进行处理: 当交换机收到 HGMP Join 报文后, 用组播地址对应的 MAC地址查 CAM表, 如果能够找到与其对 应的一个表项, 则通过报文中的 vlanID查表来获得该主机端口号, 然后 将该端口号加入到该表项中; 如果不能找到, 则在 CAM表中增加一个表 项, 该表项包含该组播地址所对应的 MAC地址、 申请加入组播组的主机 的端口号以及与交换机相连的路由器的端口号; 当交换机收到 HGMP Leave报文后, 用组播地址对应的 MAC地址查 CAM表而得到一个表项, 再通过 vlanID查表来获得该主机端口号 , 然后将该端口号从该表项中删 除, 如果该端口号是该表项的唯——个端口, 则删除整个表项;
( 6 )組播流的转发: 当路由器收到组播源发来的組播流时, 将该 组播流按照转发表转发给出端口, 路由器在处理主机的 IGMP Membership Report报文时, 不是按 vlan号而是按交换机的实际端口建立 组播转发出口, 所以一个连接路由器的交换机在組播转发表中只有一个 出口, 组播流只发一份拷贝到交换机;
( 7 ) 主机退出组播组: 当主机完成组播后, 需要退出组播组时, 由主机发送 IGMP Leave报文要求退出组播组,路由器在收到该离开报文 后, 提取报文中的 vlanID, 并通过它查找第(1 )步骤中建立的用户组播 访问权限表得到对应的表项, 删除该表项中成员离开报文所指示的组播 地址,并完成通常路由器对成员离开报文的例行处理,再生成一个 HGMP Leave报文发给交换机,该报文包含了想要离开组播组的主机的 vlan号和 要离开的组播地址, 并且包含 Leave命令域。
所述的以太网交换机的组播转发表与单播转发表是共用的。
以太网交换机在转发报文时, 若报文转发到组播路由器端口, 使用 vlan协议; 否则, 向别的端口发送报文时不用 vlan协议。
上述第 (6 ) 步骤中的组播路由器发送给交换机的组播数据包不加 vlan号, 以避免为同一个交换机上的不同主机的每个 vlan分别发送一份 数据而浪费带宽的缺陷。
上述第 (7 ) 步骤中的主机退出组播组的操作还可以通过下述方法 实现之: 路由器在获知用户下线时主动发送 HGMP Leave报文而停止向 用户发送组播流,其具体实现方法与 IGMP Leave报文的操作步骤相同。
该受控组播的实现方法还对组播发送者进行控制: 当主机向某个组 播组发送数据时, 第一个接收该数据的组播路由器利用组播访问控制列 表(Access Control List, 筒称: ACL )对数据报文进行过滤, 只有满足 其要求的报文才能被转发到组播树。
所述的组播访问控制列表是由命令字、 源地址和组地址(即: 目的 地址)构成。
所述的组播访问控制列表是由一个集中的组播业务控制服务器来 下发给各组播路由器, 以便路由器藉由该组播访问控制列表完成控制发 送者的功能, 该组播业务控制服务器同时兼作 AAA服务器。
所述的组播访问控制列表也可通过一个集中的策略服务器或网管 下发, 以消除分散配置引起的不便。
本发明的主要优点是: 在用户加入组播组时, 提供了认证授权的技 术手段, 确保只有授权用户才能进入该组播組; 并且通过端口、 用户和 vlanlD的一-" "对应关系, 再加上对用户的接入认证, 可以很方便地识别 加入或离开组播组的用户。 组播路由器能够对二层交换机的组播转发功 能执行带有决策性的主动控制, 还可以将其控制策略下发到以太网交换 机,较好地解决了对 IP组播业务的受控问题。再者,在主机不发送 IGMP Leave 的情况下离开组播组, 例如组播应用程序异常终止时, 还可以通 过用户下线主动停止用户的組成员身份。 而且, 在引入本发明的控制手 段后, 并没有影响其转发效率。 所以, 本发明具有很好的推广应用前景。 附图简要说明

下面结合附图对本发明进行详细描述。
参见图 4, 本发明是一种受控组播的系统, 包括有以太网交换机 1 和组播路由器 2, 其中以太网交换机 1下行连接各用户主机, 上行与组 播路由器 2相连接,该组播路由器 2上行连接其他系统的组播路由器 5, 该以太网交换机 1完成二层组播交换, 该以太网交换机与用户主机之间 使用 IGMP V2 (版本 2 )协议作为組管理协议; 该受控组播系统还包括 有: 与该组播路由器 2相连接的 portal服务器 3和 AAA服务器 4, 其中 portal服务器 3用作用户接入认证的接口, AAA服务器 4用于保存用户 加入组播组的权限配置, 组播路由器 1 与 AAA 服务器 4 之间为 Client-server结构,该组播路由器 2配合 AAA服务器 4一起共同完成对 用户加入组播组的权限认证, 并按照认证的结果下发控制命令, 控制以 太网交换机 1进行组播转发。 本发明的组播路由器 2与 AAA服务器 4 之间釆用对标准 RADIUS协议扩展了的 RADIUS+协议作为通信协议, 而以太网交换机 1和组播路由器 2之间采用组管理协议 HGMP作为控制 协议。
下面结合图 5 -图 10的各个附图和一个具体的实施例,详细描述本 发明中主机加入组播组的全部过程的实现方法和操作步骤:
参见图 5, 当某一主机(假设是主机 1 )要访问网络时, 它首先要 通过 portal服务器提供的接口来进行接入的身份认证, AAA服务器是认 证服务器, 图中 AAA服务器中右侧方框中的用户标识表示用户认证时 输入的用户名, 组( group )表示用户加入的组播组地址。 以太网交换机 ( LAN Switch )根据端口划分 vlan, 每个端口接一个用户。 其中端口 1 接组播路由器, 端口 2 - 5分别连接各主机用户 1 -主机用户 4。 通过认 证后,组播路由器记录了主机 1的用户标识(即: 主机 1 )及对应的 vlan 6 号: vlan l (这里假设用户主机 1帐户中的用户名为主机 1 )。
参见图 6, 当主机 1想加入组播組(假设是 224丄 2.3组) 时, 它发 送 IGMP Membership Report 报文加入组播组 224.1.2.3 , 交换引擎 ( Switching Engine )用从该报文中的目的 MAC地址 0100.5e01.0203查 找 CAM表, 因为 CAM表中没有匹配项, 该报文被转发(flooding )到 所有端口, 包括 CPU和路由器,其中转发到路由器的报文根据接收端口 加上 vlan号 (对主机 1就是 vlanl )。
路由器收到 IGMP Membership Report报文后, 提取报文中的 vlanID: vlan 1 , 并通过它查表得到对应用户的 UserlD: 主机 1 , 然后以查到的 UserlD为用户名, 以主机要加入的组播地址( 224.1.2.3 ) 为属性, 发送 扩展的 RADIUS认证报文到 AAA^务器进行认证, AAA服务器根据用户 申请的业务决定是否让用户加入。 如果用户有权限, 则发送 accept报文 作回应 ,否则发送 reject报文回应。路由器收到 reject报文后不作任何处理, 收到 accept报文后将用户能够加入的组的组播地址写到用户组播访问权 限表中, 对该主机加入报文作通常路由器的例行转发处理, 然后生成一 个 HGMP Join报文发送到交换机, 该报文包含了申请加入组播组的主机 的 vlan号: vlan 1和申请加入的组播地址: 224.1.2.3, 并且包含 Join命令 域。
当交换机收到该 HGMP Join报文后, 在 CAM表中加入一个表项, 包 含与该组播地址(224.1.2.3 ) 对应的 MAC地址: 0100.5e01.0203 , 申请 加入该组播組的主机的端口号: 2, 以及与交换机相连的路由器的端口 号: 1。 其中, 主机端口号是通过 vlanID查表获得的。
参见图 7 , 当又有新的主机(假设是第四个主机 4 ) 加入组播组 224丄 2.3时 (假设其已通过接入认证, 认证方法同上述第一步骤中的主 机 1一样), 同样发送 IGMP Membership Report报文到交换机, 交换引擎 6 使用其目的 MAC地址 0100.5e01.0203查寻 CAM表, 结果找到该表项, 并 将报文发送到该表项列出的端口 1和 2 (即路由器和主机 1 ) 。
路由器收到 IGMP Membership Report报文后, 提取该报文中的 vlanID: vlan 4, 并通过它查表得到对应用户的 UserlD: 主机 4, 然后以 查到的 UserlD为用户名, 以主机要加入的组播地址(224.1.2.3 )为属性, 发送扩展的 RADIUS认证报文到 AAA服务器进行认证, AAA服务器根据 用户申请的业务决定是否让用户加入。 如果用户有权限, 则发送 accept 报文作回应,否则发送 reject报文回应。路由器收到 reject报文后不作任何 处理, 收到 accept报文后将用户能加入的组的组播地址写到用户組播访 问权限表中, 对该主机加入的报文作通常路由器的例行处理, 然后生成 一个 HGMP Join报文发送到交换机, 该报文包含了申请加入组播組的该 主机的 vlan号: vlan 4和申请加入的组播地址: 224.1.2.3, 并且包含 Join 命令域。
当交换机收到该 HGMP Join报文后, 用其组播地址(224.1.2.3 )对 应的 MAC地址(0100.5e01.0203 )去查寻 CAM表, 由于在图 6所述的步 骤中第一个主机 1加入到 224.1.2.3组之后 , CAM表中已经存在一个表项, 此次查询就能得到与上次相匹配的同一表项, 通过 vlanID查表获得该主 机端口号: 5, 然后再将该端口号 5加入到该表项中。
参见图 8, 当路由器收到组播源发来的组播流时, 将组播流按转发 表转发给出端口。 因为路由器在处理主机的 IGMP Membership Report报 文时, 并不是按 vlan号而是按交换机的实际端口建立组播转发出口, 所 以一个连接路由器的交换机在组播转发表中只有一个出口, 組播流只发 一份拷贝 (COPY )到交换机, 组播数据包不加 vlanID。
参见图 9, 当主机 1想要离开组播组 224.1.2.3时, 它发送 IGMP Leave 报文到交换机,在图 9中与此时该主机 1发送的 IGMP Leave报文相对应的 N02/00596 是由主机 1引出的向上的箭头, 交换引擎则使用其目的 MAC地址 0100.5e01.0203查找 CAM表, 结果找到该表项, 并将该报文发送到此表 项列出的端口: 1和 5 (即: 路由器和主机 4 ) 。
路由器收到其成员的离开报文后, 提取该报文中的 vlanID: vlan l , 并通过它查表得到对应的表项, 删除该表项中成员离开报文所指示的组 播地址 224.1.2.3 , 即如图 9所示, 将其中路由器右侧方框中用户 vlan 1所 对应的用户有权加入的组播组地址(group )栏目的组播地址 224.1.2.3删 除,再完成通常路由器对成员离开报文的例行处理;然后生成一个 HGMP Leave报文发给交换机(图 9中与该 HGMP Leave报文所对应的是由路由 器引出的向下箭头) , 该报文包含了想要离开组播組的主机的 vlan号: vlan 1和要离开的组播地址: 224.1.2.3, 并且包含 Leave命令域。
当交换机收到该 HGMP Leave报文后, 用组播地址 224.1.2.3对应的 MAC地址 0100.5e01.0203查找 CAM表得到一个表项, 再通过 vlanID查表 获得发出 IGMP Leave报文的主机的端口号: 2, 然后将该端口号 2从该表 项中删除。
以上各步骤是本发明受控组播的实现方法中对组播成员进行控制 的具体操作步骤, 此外, 本发明的实现方法还对组播发送者执行相关控 制, 参见图 10。 当主机(在图 10中为信源 (IDC ) ) 向某个组播组发送 数据时, 第一个接收该数据的组播路由器将首先通过组播业务控制服务 器下载組播访问控制列表(Access Control List, 简称: ACL ) , 并利用 该组播访问控制列表 ACL对该数据报文进行过滤, 只有满足通过要求的 报文才能被转发到组播树。 组播访问控制列表是由命令字、 源地址和组 地址(也是目的地址)构成的。 为了消除分散配置引起的不便, 通常使 用一个集中的组播业务控制服务器来完成向各组播路由器下发组播访 问控制列表, 而由这些组播路由器控制发送者的功能, 同时, 该组播业 务控制服务器还兼作 AAA服务器, 当然也可以通过一个集中的策略服务 器或网管下发组播访问控制列表。
本发明的组播系统及其实现方法已经在申请人研制的若干设备上进 行了试验性实施, 这些试验的结果是成功的, 实现了要对组播实行控制 的发明目的。

( 3 )进行用户的识别、加入组播的认证及路由器对 IGMP 艮文进行 处理: 路由器收到 IGMP Membership Report报文后,根据组播路由器收 到的从以太网交换机发来的数据包的 vlan号, 通过查找第 (1 ) 步骤中 记录的用户组播访问权限表, 获知对应用户的用户标识, 以及该 IGMP Membership Report报文所属用户, 然后以查到的用户标识为用户名, 以 主机所要加入的组播地址为属性,发送扩展的 RADIUS认证报文到 AAA 服务器进行认证, 由 AAA服务器根据用户申请的业务决定是否让用户 加入: 如果用户拥有权限, 则发送 accept报文作回应, 否则发送 reject 报文回应; 路由器收到 reject报文后不作任何处理, 收到 accept报文后 将用户能够加入的组的组播地址写到用户组播访问权限表中, 并对该主 机加入的报文作通常组播路由器的例行处理, 然后生成一个 HGMP Join 报文发送到交换机, 该报文包含了申倚加入组播组的主机所连接的端口 对应的 vlan号和申请加入的组播地址, 并且包含 Join命令域; 并且, 组 播路由器还要如同普通組播路由器一样地对 IGMP Membership Report 报文进行建立组播转发树的常规处理; ( 4 )由组播路由器控制以太网交换机进行組播转发, 两者之间采用 HGMP协议作为受控组播的控制协议: 在以太网交换机上由组播路由器 控制其组播转发表的生成与删除, 当组播路由器允许某个主机加入某个 组时,它给交换机发送包含有申请加入组播组的主机的 vlan号和申请加 入的组播地址的 HGMP Join报文; 当组播路由器要终止某个主机加入某 个组时,它给交换机发送包含有终止加入组播组的主机的 vlan号和终止 加入的组播组地址的 HGMP Leave报文, 通过这种方法, 组播路由器控 制以太网交换机的的组播转发;
( 5 ) 交换机对 HGMP控制报文进行处理: 交换机收到 HGMP Join 报文后, 用组播地址对应的 MAC地址查 CAM表, 如果能够找到与其 对应的一个表项, 则通过报文中的 vlanID查表来获得该主机端口号, 然 后将该端口号加入到该表项中; 如果不能找到, 则在 CAM表中增加一 个表项, 该表项包含该组播地址所对应的 MAC地址、 申请加入组播组 的主机的端口号以及与交换机相连的路由器的端口号; 当交换机收到 HGMP Leave报文后 ,用组播地址对应的 MAC地址查 CAM表而得到一 个表项, 再通过 vlanID查表来获得该主机端口号, 然后将该端口号从该 表项中删除,如果该端口号是该表项的唯——个端口,则删除整个表项;
( 6 )组播流的转发: 当路由器收到组播源发来的组播流时, 将该组 播流按照转发表转发给出端口, 路由器在处理主机的 IGMP Membership Report报文时, 按交换机的实际端口建立组播转发出口, 组播流只发一 份拷贝到交换机;
( 7 )主机退出组播组: 当主机完成组播后, 需要退出组播组时, 由 主机发送 IGMP Leave报文要求退出组播组, 路由器在收到该离开报文 后, 提取报文中的 vlanID, 并通过它查找第 (1 ) 步骤中建立的用户组 播访问权限表得到对应的表项, 删除该表项中成员离开报文所指示的组 播地址, 并完成通常路由器对成员离开报文的例行处理, 再生成一个
HGMP Leave报文发给交换机, 该报文包含了想要离开组播组的主机的 vlan号和要离开的组播地址, 并且包含 Leave命令域。
5、 根据权利要求 3所述的受控组播的实现方法, 其特征在于: 所述的以太网交换机的组播转发表与单播转发表是共用的。
6、 才艮据权利要求 3 所述的受控组播的实现方法, 其特征在于: 以太网交换机在转发报文时, 若报文转发到组播路由器端口, 使用 vlan 协议; 否则, 向别的端口发送报文时不用 vlan协议。
7、 根据杈利要求 3 所述的受控组播的实现方法, 其特征在于: 上述第 (6 ) 步骤中的组播路由器发送给交换机的组播数据包不加 vlan 号。
8、 根据权利要求 3所述的受控组播的实现方法, 其特征在于, 上述第 (7 ) 步骤中的主机退出組播組的操作还可以通过下述方法实现 之: 路由器在获知用户下线时主动发送 HGMP Leave 4艮文而停止向用户 发送组播流, 其具体实现方法与 IGMP Leave报文的操作步驟相同。
9、 根据权利要求 3所述的受控组播的实现方法, 其特征在于, 该受控组播的实现方法还对组播发送者进行控制: 主机向某个组播组发 送数据时, 第一个接收该数据的组播路由器利用组播访问控制列表对数 据报文进行过滤, 将满足其要求的报文转发到组播树。
10、 根据权利要求 9所述的受控组播的实现方法, 其特征在于: 所述的组播访问控制列表是由命令字、 源地址和组地址构成。
11、 根据权利要求 9所述的受控组播的实现方法, 其特征在于: 所述的组播访问控制列表是由一个集中的组播业务控制服务器下发给 各组播路由器, 路由器藉由该组播访问控制列表完成控制发送者的功 能, 该组播业务控制服务器同时兼作 AAA服务器。
12、 根据权利要求 9或 11所述的受控组播的实现方法, 其特征在 于: 所述的组播访问控制列表也可通过一个集中的策略服务器或网管下 发。
