Abstract
This application provides a method for controlling a connection between a terminal and a network, and an apparatus. The method includes: receiving, by a terminal, a packet filter; and discarding, by the terminal, an uplink data packet matching the packet filter. Based on this solution, a connection can be blocked near a source (that is, the connection is blocked from the terminal), to reduce traffic exchanged between the terminal and a user plane network element. Compared with an existing technical solution, the terminal implements traffic control to reduce a quantity of uplink data packets sent to the user plane network element, thereby reducing load of the user plane network element.
Claims14
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a communication apparatus, a packet filter and indication information, wherein the indication information indicates to discard an uplink data packet matching the packet filter;
- allocating, by the communication apparatus, a specific quality of service flow identifier (QFI) to the packet filter based on the indication information;
- and
- discarding, by the communication apparatus, the uplink data packet matching the packet filter by
- marking, by the communication apparatus, the uplink data packet with the specific QFI if the uplink data packet matches the packet filter;
- and
- discarding, by the communication apparatus, the uplink data packet corresponding to the specific QFI.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a policy control network element, a control policy and a group identifier from a security detection network element;
- generating, by the policy control network element, a packet filter according to the control policy;
- and
- sending, by the policy control network element, the packet filter and the group identifier to a communication apparatus, to indicate the communication apparatus to discard, when the group identifier matches a group identifier of the communication apparatus, an uplink data packet matching the packet filter.
A communications apparatus, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium coupled to the processor and having program instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:
- receive a packet filter and indication information, wherein the indication information indicates to discard an uplink data packet matching the packet filter;
- allocate a specific quality of service flow identifier (QFI) to the packet filter based on the indication information;
- and
- discard the uplink data packet matching the packet filter by
- marking, by the terminal, the uplink data packet with the specific QFI if the uplink data packet matches the packet filter;
- and
- discarding, by the terminal, the uplink data packet corresponding to the specific QFI.
