Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a user-oriented communication method, a route registration method and device, and a communication system. In the method, a first domain router receives a first data packet sent by a first terminal. The first data packet includes a user identifier of a first user and a user identifier of a second user, the first terminal belongs to the first user, and a second terminal belongs to the second user. The first domain router queries for a second domain router connected to the second terminal according to the user identifier of the second user and sends the first data packet to the second domain router, so that the second domain router sends the first data packet to the second terminal.

Claims

receiving, by a first domain router, a first data packet sent by a first terminal, wherein the first data packet comprises a user identifier of a first user and a user identifier of a second user, the first terminal belongs to the first user, and a second terminal belongs to the second user;

querying for a second domain router that is connected to the second terminal according to the user identifier of the second user; and

sending the first data packet to the second domain router so that the second domain router sends the first data packet to the second terminal.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the user identifier is located at one of the following:

a user identifier layer of a protocol stack, and a network layer.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein:

a packet header of the first data packet comprises;

a source user identifier field and a destination user identifier field, a source address field, and a destination address field, wherein the source user identifier field comprises the user identifier of the first user, and the destination user identifier field comprises the user identifier of the second user.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein querying for the second domain router connected to the second terminal according to the user identifier of the second user comprises:

sending a message that comprises the user identifier of the second user to a subscriber location server in a current domain, requesting to query for a location identifier of the second domain router that is connected to the second terminal; and

receiving a message that comprises the location identifier of the second domain router from the subscriber location server in the current domain, and obtaining the location identifier of the second domain router.

5. The method according to claim 3, wherein the sending the first data packet to the second domain router comprises:

carrying a location identifier of a first domain router in the source address field of the packet header of the first data packet, and carrying a location identifier of the second domain router in the destination address field, and obtaining the first data packet having a modified packet header; and

sending the first data packet having the modified packet header to the second domain router.

6. A route registration method, comprising:

obtaining, by a first domain router, a device identifier of a first terminal and a user identifier of a first user, wherein the first terminal belongs to the first user; and

sending a route registration message to a subscriber location server in a current domain, wherein the route registration message comprises the device identifier of the first terminal, the user identifier of the first user, and association information of the first domain router.

7. The method according to claim 6, further comprising:

allocating a local location identifier to the first terminal; and

saving the local location identifier of the first terminal and the user identifier of the first user.

8. A route registration method, comprising:

receiving, by a first subscriber location server, a first route registration message, wherein the first route registration message comprises a device identifier of a first terminal, a user identifier of a first user, and association information of a first domain router, and the first terminal belongs to the first user;

obtaining the device identifier of the first terminal, the user identifier of the first user, and a location identifier of the first domain router from the first route registration message; and

saving the obtained device identifier of the first terminal, user identifier of the first user, and association information of the first domain router.

9. The method according to claim 8, wherein if the first subscriber location server is a subscriber location server in a visited domain of the first terminal, the method further comprises at least one of:

sending a second route registration message to a second subscriber location server, wherein the second route registration message comprises the device identifier of the first terminal, the user identifier of the first user, and the location identifier of the first domain router;

and

sending a third route registration message to the second subscriber location server, wherein the third route registration message comprises the device identifier of the first terminal, the user identifier of the first user, and domain information of a current domain of the first terminal, and the second subscriber location server is a subscriber location server in a home domain of the first terminal.

10. A domain router, comprising:

a receiving module, configured to receive a first data packet sent by a first terminal, wherein the first data packet comprises a user identifier of a first user and a user identifier of a second user, the first terminal belongs to the first user, and a second terminal belongs to the second user;

a querying module, configured to query for a second domain router connected to the second terminal according to the user identifier of the second user; and

a sending module, configured to send the first data packet to the second domain router, so that the second domain router sends the first data packet to the second terminal.

11. The domain router according to claim 10, wherein:

the querying module comprises;

a first sending submodule, configured to;

send a message that comprises the user identifier of the second user to a subscriber location server in a current domain, and request to query for a location identifier of the second domain router that is connected to the second terminal; and

a receiving and obtaining submodule, configured to receive a message that comprises the location identifier of the second domain router from the subscriber location server in the current domain, and obtain the location identifier of the second domain router.

12. The domain router according to claim 10, wherein:

a packet header of the first data packet received by the receiving module comprises;

a source user identifier field and a destination user identifier field, a source address field, and a destination address field, wherein the source user identifier field comprises the user identifier of the first user and the destination user identifier field carries the user identifier of the second user.

13. The domain router according to claim 12, wherein:

the sending module comprises;

a packet header modifying submodule, configured to;

carry a location identifier of a first domain router in the source address field of the packet header of the first data packet, carry the location identifier of the second domain router in the destination address field, and obtain the first data packet having a modified packet header; and

a second sending submodule, configured to send the first data packet having the modified packet header to the second domain router.

14. A domain router, comprising:

an obtaining module, configured to obtain a device identifier of a first terminal and a user identifier of a first user, wherein the first terminal belongs to the first user; and
