METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DYNAMICALLY ALLOCATING SERVICES FOR SUBSCRIBERS DATA TRAFFIC

摘要

Access services are dynamically allocated for processing received data traffic by creating routing information for data traffic associated with a particular subscriber, subscriber equipment and/or network address information. The routing information identifies services that the data traffic can be subjected to and the order in which the services are provided. When an attached request is received, appropriate services for the requesting subscriber are retrieved from a database based on particular identifying information which may include the identification of the subscriber, subscriber equipment, network address or other information. The services are organized in a routing path and the allocated network address and the routing path are transferred to a smart router. Data traffic, associated with the allocated network address is then routed through servers to provide the identified services.

1. A computer readable medium containing executable instructions when executed cause a processor to:
obtain identification information of a requesting subscriber, wherein the requesting subscriber initiated the sending of a request to attach to an Internet Protocol (IP) network and to obtain a currently assigned IP address, which was assigned to the requesting subscriber to be used during the requested access session over the IP network; identify, based at least in part on the identification information, two or more different services associated with the identification information; create a routing path toward the IP network that includes two or more different service servers in which data traffic associated with the requesting subscriber is passed through in a certain order for providing the identified two or more of services, wherein the certain order in the routing path defines routing received packets toward a first service server from the two or more different service servers, obtaining a relevant processed packet from the first service server and transferring the obtained relevant processed packet toward a second service server from the two or more different service servers; and associate the routing path with the currently assigned IP address.
