Abstract
The present disclosure discloses a method, device, and system for processing an IPv6 packet, and relates to the field of Internet technologies. According to the present disclosure, a secure access, authentication, and authorization can be ensured in an IPv6 network, and different IPv6 address prefixes are allocated to different terminals. Therefore, normal routing in the network is ensured. A method for processing an IPv6 packet provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: an access node adds access line information to an IPv6 packet; and forwards the IPv6 packet that is added with the access line information to an IP edge node. The present disclosure is applicable to a scenario of processing a packet in an IPv6 network.
Claims19
A method for processing an Internet Protocol version 6 IPv6 packet, comprising:
- receiving, by an access node, an IPv6 packet from a terminal;
- adding, by the access node, access line information to the IPv6 packet;
- and
- forwarding, by the access node, the IPv6 packet added with the access line information to an IP edge node.
A method for processing an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) packet, comprising:
- receiving, by an IP edge node, an IPv6 packet that carries access line information from an access node;
- obtaining, by the IP edge node, the access line information from the IPv6 packet;
- and
- searching for a correspondence according to the access line information, so as to perform a corresponding operation on the IPv6 packet;
- wherein the access line information is added to the IPv6 packet by the access node.
A network device configured to receive an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) packet from a terminal, comprising:
- an information adding unit, configured to add access line information to the IPv6 packet;
- and
- a forwarding unit, configured to forward the IPv6 packet to which the information adding unit adds the access line information to an IP edge node.
A network server, comprising:
- a receiving unit, configured to receive an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) packet that carries access line information from an access node and obtain the access line information from the IPv6 packet;
- and
- a processing unit, configured to search for a correspondence according to the access line information, so as to perform a corresponding operation on the IPv6 packet, wherein the access line information is added to the IPv6 packet by the access node.
An IPv6 network system comprising:
- a terminal communicatively connected to an access node and an IP edge node;
- wherein:
- the terminal is configured to send an IPv6 packet to the access node;
- the access node is configured to add access line information to the IPv6 packet;
- and forward the IPv6 packet added with the access line information to the IP edge node;
- and
- the IP edge node is configured to receive the IPv6 packet that carries the access line information;
- and search for a correspondence according to the access line information, so as to perform a corresponding operation on the IPv6 packet.
