Method and system for authorizing and charging host with multiple addresses in IPv6 network

摘要

A method for authorizing and accounting a host with multiple addresses in IPv6 Network includes: authorizing multiple addresses of the host respectively; charging the multiple addresses authorized of the host respectively. A system based on the above method includes: a network access server, for transmitting accounting information of multiple addresses of a host upon receiving authorization information; an Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) server, for authorizing the multiple addresses of the host respectively, and transmitting the authorization information to the network access server; receiving the accounting information transmitted from the network access server, and charging the multiple addresses according to the accounting information respectively. Consequently, it may be implemented to authorize different multiple addresses of the host and charge the different multiple addresses according to different charging rates respectively in an IPv6 network in accordance with embodiments of the present invention.

1. A method for authorizing and charging a host with multiple addresses assigned to the host in an IPv6 network comprising an Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) server and a network access server, comprising:
determining, by the AAA server, authorized multiple addresses of the host and a respective authorization status for each of the authorized multiple addresses of the host; transmitting, to the network access server, a first packet containing authorization information in an extensible field of the first packet, wherein the authorization information comprises the respective authorization status for each of the authorized multiple addresses of the host, and the respective authorization status is unique to each individual address of the authorized multiple addresses of the host; receiving, by the AAA server, a second packet containing accounting information in an extensible field of the second packet from the network access server, wherein the accounting information comprises a respective accounting policy that is unique to each of the authorized multiple addresses of the host; and charging, by the AAA server, the authorized multiple addresses of the host respectively according to the accounting information corresponding to the authorized multiple addresses of the host, wherein the AAA server charges the authorized multiple addresses differently based on the respective accounting policy that is unique to each of the authorized multiple addresses of the host.
