Observing the existing network service control scheme, we find that the network is extensive regardless of wireless access or wired access.

为了更清楚地说明本发明实施例中的技术方案，下面将对实施例描述中所需要使用的附图作简单地介绍，显而易见地，下面描述中的附图仅仅是本发明的一些实施例，对于本领域普通技术人员来讲，在不付出创造性劳动性的前提下，还可以根据这些附图获得其他的附图。

具体实施方式
下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图，对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述，显然，所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例，而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例，本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例，都属于本发明保护的范围。
互联网是人与人、人与机器进行消息交换的媒介。对于不同的用户、不同的业务，互联网应该提供相应的网络资源来建立信息连接通道。为此，网络的业务控制就成为一个重要的功能，即：对用户和业务进行认证、鉴权和计费，并为合法的用户和业务分配合理的网络资源。观察当前已经存在的网络业务控制方案，我们发现，无论无线接入还是有线接入，网络都处于粗放 式经营阶段，计费方式僵化、服务同质化。固网接入往往按照包月包年不限流量的方式计费，无线接入则以流量包的方式进行，尽管可以做到实时计费，但网络的服务质量无法随资费缴交情况实时提高，在网络环境变差时，所有用户的业务体验都会下降。可以说当前的网络是一个僵化的缺乏弹性的网络。
SDN(Software Defined Network,软件定义网络)是一种新型网络创新架构，SDN由控制器和转发器组成，SDN通过控制器和转发器将控制面与数据面分离开来，从而实现了网络流量的灵活控制，为网络及应用的创新提供了良好的平台。其中，控制器包括管理协议以及路由协议等；转发器包括针对每个包的查询、转发和缓存。
现有技术中基于网络服务的使用频率确定网络服务优先级，虽然可以满足部分应用的需求，但是对于使用频率较低但实时性要求高的应用却显得无能为力。
本发明提出一种技术方案，该技术方案应用于软件定义网络中，为通过虚拟币等方式付费的用户提供优先级较高的网络服务，保障付费用户的网络服务质量，从而使得使用频率较低但实时性要求高的应用的数据传输速率得到保证。
如图1所示，该图1描述了本发明实施例的一种网络控制的方法，该方法适用于SDN架构的网络中，该方法具体包括步骤101至步骤104。
101、控制器接收转发器转发的报文；
在本发明的一个实施例中，转发器接收到报文后，会先检查报文的转发优先级。如果在流表中查到该报文的转发优先级配置信息，则按该转发优先级配置向其他转发器或路由器转发该报文，并进行流量统计和上报；如果在流表中没有查到该报文的转发优先级配置信息，将该报文信息转发给控制器。其中，该转发器为SDN网络架构中的转发器；该控制器为SDN网络架构中的控制器。
102、该控制器检测该报文的虚拟币标识的状态，其中，该虚拟币标识的 状态用于指示用户是否愿意支付虚拟币去提高网络优先级；
其中，在报文中可以用一个字段中的数字来表示虚拟币标识的状态。例如，虚拟币的标识包括两种状态：1和0。其中，1和0分别代表不同的状态。例如1代表用户愿意支付虚拟币去提高网络优先级，0代表用户不愿意支付虚拟币去提高网络优先级。当然也可以反过来，1代表用户不愿意支付虚拟币去提高网络优先级，0代表用户愿意支付虚拟币去提高网络优先级。
其中，在报文中也可以使用多个字段来表示虚拟币标识的状态。
其中，用户可以用现金或其他方式进行充值，从而获得虚拟币。
103、当该报文的虚拟币标识的状态指示该用户愿意支付虚拟币去提高网络优先级时，该控制器根据该报文中的用户标识查询该用户是否拥有提高服务质量的权限；
其中，当该报文的虚拟币标识的状态指示该用户愿意支付虚拟币去提高网络优先级时，该控制器对该报文进行解析，从该报文中获取用户的标识，然后向查询系统发送该用户的标识，该查询系统根据该用户的标识查询该用户是否拥有提高服务质量的权限，并将查询结果反馈给该控制器。其中，用户的标识可以是该用户在查询系统中注册的帐号。其中，该查询系统可以是3A(Authentication，Authorization，Accounting)系统，该3A系统用于认证、授权和计费。
其中，当该报文的虚拟币标识的状态指示该用户愿意支付虚拟币去提高网络优先级时，该控制器向查询系统发送该报文，该查询系统从该报文中获取该用户的标识，然后根据该用户的标识查询该用户是否拥有提高服务质量的权限，并将查询结果反馈给该控制器。
其中，用户是否拥有提高服务权限是根据用户是否注册判断的。如果用户进行了注册，则该用户就会拥有提高服务的权限；用户注册后，也需要用现金或其他方式往账户中充值，充值的越多，权限越高；例如普通用户、银卡用户、金卡用户等等，分等级的方式很多，在此不一一例举。
104、当该用户拥有提高服务质量的权限时，该控制器提高所述用户的网络优先级、启动计费并向该转发器发送该用户的网络优先级，以使得该转发器根据该用户的网络优先级转发该用户的报文。
其中，当该用户拥有提高服务质量的权限时，该控制器提高所述用户的网络优先级、启动计费功能，并将提高后的该用户的网络优先级发送给转发器，以使得转发器根据提高后的网络优先级转发该用户的报文。
从上可知，使用本发明实施例提供的网络控制的方法，控制器接收转发器转发的报文；该控制器检测该报文的虚拟币标识的状态，其中，该虚拟币标识的状态用于指示用户是否愿意支付虚拟币去提高网络优先级；当该报文的虚拟币标识的状态指示该用户愿意支付虚拟币去提高网络优先级时，该控制器根据该报文中的用户标识查询该用户是否拥有提高服务质量的权限；当该用户拥有提高服务质量的权限时，该控制器启动计费并向该转发器发送该用户的网络优先级，以使得该转发器根据该用户的网络优先级转发该用户的报文。从而能够根据用户支付虚拟币的情况实时提高该用户的网络优先级，满足了使用频率低但是实时性要求高的应用的网络需求，提升了网络的弹性。
可选的，在上述实施例的基础上，如图2所示，在本发明的另一个实施例中，在步骤103具体包括步骤1031和步骤1032；
1031、该控制器向查询系统发送该报文中的用户标识，以使得该查询系统根据该用户标识查询该用户是否拥有提高服务质量的权限；
其中，用户标识可以是用户在查询系统中注册的名称或序列号，也可以是网络地址或者物理地址。
其中，报文中包含用户标识，该控制器可以从报文中获取该用户标识，再向查询系统发送该用户标识。该查询系统可以是包括用户资料的数据库。
其中，该控制器也可以向该查询系统发送该报文，以使得该查询系统从该报文中获取用户标识，再根据用户标识查询该用户的余额。
1032、该控制器接收该查询系统反馈的信息，根据该反馈的信息确定该 用户是否拥有提高服务质量的权限。
从上可知，使用本发明实施例提供的网络管理的方法，该控制器向查询系统发送该报文中的用户标识，以使得该查询系统根据该用户标识查询该用户是否拥有提高服务质量的权限；该控制器接收该查询系统反馈的信息，根据该反馈的信息确定该用户是否拥有提高服务质量的权限；当该用户拥有提高服务质量的权限时，该控制器启动计费并向该转发器发送该用户的网络优先级，以使得该转发器根据该用户的网络优先级转发该用户的报文。该控制器通过查询系统查询该用户的提高服务质量的权限，从而根据该用户是否拥有提高服务质量的权限判断是否提高用户的网络优先级。从而扩展了网络进行服务的方法，提升了网络弹性。
可选的，在上述实施例的基础上，如图3所示，在本发明的另一个实施例中，该控制器接收到的反馈的信息中还包括该用户的帐户余额；
步骤104之前还包括步骤201：
201、该控制器判断该帐户余额是否大于预设值；
其中，查询系统可以根据用户标识查询用户的权限和帐户余额等信息，并将用户的权限和帐户余额反馈给该控制器。
步骤104具体包括：当该帐户余额大于预设值且该用户拥有提高服务质量的权限时，该控制器提高所述用户的网络优先级、启动计费并向该转发器发送该用户的网络优先级，以使得该转发器根据该用户的网络优先级转发该用户的报文。
其中，用户进行注册后便有了提高服务质量的权限，但是要使用该提高服务质量的权限就需要付费。当用户满足同时满足了拥有提高服务质量的权限和帐户中的余额大于预设值时，才能使用该提高服务质量的权限。该预设值是大于零。
可选的，基于上述实施例，如图4所示，在本发明的另一个实施例中，步骤104之后，还包括步骤301：
301、该控制器进行网络服务质量监控以便实时获取网络服务质量。
其中，该控制器向转发器发送该用户的网络优先级之后，该控制器就会启动网络服务质量监控，以便实时获取网络服务质量。
可选的，基于上述实施例，如图5所示，在本发明的另一个实施例中，步骤104之后，还包括步骤401：
401、该控制器向该用户发送该用户的网络优先级。
其中，该控制器向转发器发送了该用户的网络优先级之后，该控制器也需要让用户知道该用户的网络优先级，那么该控制器可以向转发器发送指令，以使得转发器向该用户发送反馈信息，该反馈信息中包括了该用户的网络优先级。
从上可知，使用本发明实施例提供的网络控制的方法，该控制器启动计费并向该转发器发送该用户的网络优先级，以使得该转发器根据该用户的网络优先级转发该用户的报文；该控制器向该用户发送该用户的网络优先级。控制器向转发器发送用户的网络优先级之后，并向用户发送该用户的网络优先级，使得用户知道自己权限对应的网络优先级，提升了信息的透明度。

其中，转发器接收到报文后，在流表中查找该报文的优先级配置信息，如果没有查找到该报文的优先级配置信息，会将该报文转发给控制器。同时，控制器的接收单元601接收转发器转发的报文。
检测单元602，用于检测该报文的虚拟币标识的状态，其中，该虚拟币标识的状态用于指示用户是否愿意支付虚拟币去提高网络优先级；
其中，该报文中的一个字段来标识虚拟币的标识的状态。例如，该检测单元602检测该字段的内容，根据该字段的内容来判断该虚拟币的标识的状 态。
其中，可以用该报文中的多个字段来表示虚拟币标识的状态，在此不做限制。
