NETWORK SESSION CONTROL
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A network session control method wherein a network includes access devices capable of performing access authentication of users and a session management device capable of communicating session information to the access devices and, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a proxy device, a request packet from the session management device, the request packet including information of a user;
determining a target access device of the access devices corresponding to the request packet by using the information of the user in the request packet;
modifying a destination IP address of the request packet to be an IP address of the target access device while keeping a source IP address of the request packet unchanged; and
sending the modified request packet to the target access device.

Abstract
According to an example, a proxy device receives a request packet sent by the session management device, determines a target access device corresponding to the request packet, modifies the destination IP address of the request packet to be the IP address of the target access device while keeping the source IP address of the request packet unchanged, and sends the modified request packet to the target access device.

7. A proxy device to facilitate network session control in a network, the network including access devices capable of performing access authentication of users and a session management device capable of communicating session information with the access devices, wherein the proxy device is deployed between the access devices and the session management device, and comprises:
- a receiving module, a processing module and a sending module; and
wherein;
—the receiving module is to receive a request packet sent by the session management device; the processing module is to determine a target access device corresponding to the request packet, and modify a destination IP address of the request packet to be an IP address of the target access device while keeping a source IP address of the request packet unchanged; and the sending module is to send the modified request packet to the target access device to cause the target access device to return a response packet to the session management device by using an IP address of the proxy device stored in advance and a source IP address of the request packet. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)

11. An access device to facilitate network session control in a network, the network including access devices, a proxy device and a session management device, the access device comprising:
-
a storage module, a receiving module, a processing module and a sending module; wherein the storage module is to store an IP address of the proxy device in advance; the receiving module is to receive from the proxy device a request packet initiated by the session management device, wherein a source IP address of the request packet is an IP address of the session management device, and the request packet includes information of a session control procedure to be performed for a user; the processing module is to perform the session control procedure for the user according to the request packet; and the sending module is to generate a response packet and send the response packet to the session management device, wherein a source IP address of the response packet is set to be an IP address of the proxy device stored in the access device in advance, and a destination IP address of the response packet is set to be the source IP address of the request packet.
