Correspondingly, step 13 includes:

As shown in Figure 2, in the authentication enabling stage, the user initiates an online request to the service node. During the authentication process, the computing and network integration accounting function is enabled, carrying the SLA service information; after receiving the user's online request, the service node sends a message to the network device. Authentication request, the authentication request carries the SLA service information of the user equipment; the network device responds to the service node authentication success response, and the authentication success response directly carries the SLA service policy, such as how much bandwidth can be used, and how much central processing unit (Central Processing Unit, CPU), etc.

As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4, the dynamic policy configuration process is as follows:

1. After successful online authentication, if you need to adjust specific SLA service information, you can log in to a service page to modify or add SLA service information online, and you need to enter the corresponding user equipment ID; service ID; SLA level, etc.

2. The service page sends the SLA service information modified or added by the user to the network device.

3. According to the SLA service information, the network device sends the COA request message of the Remote Authentication Dial-In User Server (RADIUS) protocol carrying the SLA service information to the service node to change the authorization attribute, requesting to change the user equipment's status. authorization information. Wherein, the authorization information of the user equipment includes: an authorized SLA service policy.

4. After receiving the COA request message from the network device, the service node changes the user authorization while keeping the user online, and checks whether its own network and computing resources can meet the SLA policy requirements. If the change is successful, send a CoA-ACK message to the network device; otherwise, send a CoA-NAK message to the network device.

5. If the authorization information of the successful user is changed, when the user uses the service of the service-id, it will be controlled according to the revised policy, including network and resource usage restrictions. Service nodes allocate required network and computing resources according to the new SLA policy.

6. The service node sends a charging message for the new service to the network device, and the network device generates a bill according to the new service charging information (network resources + computing resource usage).

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in the SLA-based computing-network integration charging method, the network device sends the SLA service policy of the user equipment to the service node of the user equipment according to the SLA service information of the user equipment, which can meet the requirements of the future network with diversified industry users. and computing resource requirements.
