User Management Device, BNG, and BNG User Internet Access Method and System

A device, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a computer-readable storage medium storing a program to be executed by the processor, the program including instructions for:
• receiving a plurality of Internet access packets of a user from a plurality of broadband network gateway devices (BNGs) which are connected to the user by a switching network, wherein each of the plurality of Internet access packets carries user information of the user and information of a respective BNG of the plurality of BNGs that reports the respective Internet access packet to the device;
• recording, according to the user information comprised in each of the plurality of Internet access packets, information of the plurality of BNGs in a BNG list to which the user belongs;
• selecting, according to a preset policy, a first BNG from the BNG list to process subsequent Internet access packets of the user;
• and
• delivering the user's forwarding information to the first BNG, and instructing the first BNG to send a response packet to the user, wherein the response packet instructs the user to access the Internet using the first BNG.

A first broadband network gateway device (BNG), comprising:

• a processor;
• a computer-readable storage medium storing a program to be executed by the processor, the program including instructions for:
• receiving an Internet access packet from a user, wherein the Internet access packet is sent to each BNG of a plurality of BNGs which are connected to the user by a switching network, and the first BNG is one of the plurality of BNGs;
• and
• reporting the Internet access packet to a user management device, wherein the reported Internet access packet carries user information of the user and information of the first BNG;
• and
• a receiver, configured to receive and save forwarding information of the user delivered by the user management device.

A system, comprising:

• a user management device;
• and
• a plurality of broadband network gateway devices (BNGs) connected to a user by a switching network;
• wherein each of the plurality of BNGs is configured to:
• receive an Internet access packet reported by the user;
• and
• report the Internet access packet to a user management device, wherein each reported Internet access packet carries user information of the user and information of the respective BNG which reports the Internet access packet to the user management device;
• and
• wherein the user management device is configured to:
• record, according to the user information, information of the plurality of BNGs in a BNG list to which the user belongs;
• select, according to a preset policy, a first BNG from the BNG list;
• and
• deliver the user's forwarding information to the first BNG;
• wherein the first BNG is configured to:
• receive and save the user's forwarding information delivered by the user management device;
• and
• send a response packet to the user, where the response packet instructs the user to access the Internet using the first BNG.

A method, comprising:

• receiving a plurality of Internet access packets of a user from a plurality of broadband network gateway devices (BNGs) which are connected to the user using a switching network, wherein each of the plurality of Internet access packet carries user information of the user and information of the respective BNG of plurality of BNGs which reports the respective Internet access packet;
• recording, according to the user information comprised in the plurality of Internet access packets, information of the plurality of BNGs in a BNG list to which the user belongs;
• selecting, according to a preset policy, a first BNG from the BNG list to process subsequent Internet access packets of the user;
• and
• delivering the user's forwarding information to the first BNG, and instructing the first BNG to send a response packet to the user, where the response packet instructs the user to access the Internet using the first BNG.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a first BNG, an Internet access packet from a user, wherein the Internet access packet is sent to each of a plurality of BNGs which are connected to the user by a switching network, and the first BNG is one of the plurality of BNGs;
• and
• reporting the Internet access packet to a user management device, wherein the Internet access packet carries user information of the user and information of the first BNG;
• and
• receiving and save the user's forwarding information delivered by the user management device.
