A communication system comprises: a plurality of forwarding nodes processing an incoming packet in accordance with a processing rule (packet handling operation) in which a matching rule for determining a packet to be processed and a processing content applied to a packet matching the matching rule are associated with each other; an address management apparatus giving an address to a host; and a control apparatus first setting a first processing rule for realizing communication between the host and the address management apparatus in a forwarding node between the host and the address management apparatus and thereafter setting a second processing rule for realizing communication between a host given an address by the address management apparatus and a predetermined network resource.
摘要:
A communication system, includes: a node that requests a processing rule for processing a packet; and a control apparatus that notifies the node of the processing rule in response to the request. The control apparatus, upon being notified of change of a connection relationship between a communication apparatus to which a packet is addressed and the node, determines a forwarding path for a packet addressed to the communication apparatus and notifies the node of a processing rule for realizing the forwarding path.

The present invention implements detailed access control according to access rights granted to users, by a simple configuration. A communication system includes: a plurality of forwarding nodes that process a received packet in accordance with a processing rule (packet handling operation) associating a matching rule for identifying a flow and processing content to be applied to a packet that conforms with the matching rule; a policy management apparatus provided with an access control policy storage unit that associates roles assigned to users and access rights set for each role, the policy management apparatus providing information related to access rights associated with a role of a user who is successfully authenticated, to a control apparatus; and the control apparatus that creates a path between a terminal of the user who is successfully authenticated and a resource that the user can access, based on information related to access rights received from the policy management apparatus, and sets a processing rule in a forwarding node in the path in question.
摘要:
Authentication apparatus authenticates user using host connected to forwarding node. Policy management apparatus holds access control policy for identifying host under access control using identifier of forwarding node or identifier of user, and links identifier of host under access control and identifier of forwarding node to which host is connected, or identifier of host under access control and identifier of user using host. Forwarding node transmits to policy management apparatus identifier of host connected to own forwarding node and identifier of own forwarding node. Authentication apparatus transmits to policy management apparatus identifier of host connected to forwarding node and identifier of user. Policy management apparatus refers to access control policy and, if host connected to forwarding node is under access control, notifies content of access control to control apparatus as access control list. Control apparatus generates processing rule in accordance with access control list and sets generated processing rule in forwarding nodes.
摘要:
A communication system includes an information acquisition unit that acquires information for determining an isolation level to which a user terminal belongs, from the user terminal; an isolation level determination unit that determines an isolation level to which the user terminal belongs, based on the acquired information; an isolation level information storage unit that defines whether or not access is possible to respective access destinations for each isolation level; an access control unit that causes a forwarding node(s) to implement forwarding or dropping of a packet, in accordance with whether or not access is possible to the respective access destinations; and a forwarding node(s) that forwards a packet in accordance with control of the access control unit. Stepwise access control is realized using isolation levels.
摘要:
A terminal communicating via a network including a forwarding device(s) for forwarding a packet and a control device for controlling the forwarding device(s) in accordance with a request from the forwarding device, includes: a communication unit that receives a processing rule specifying a process of adding, to a packet, quality information related to communication quality with respect to the terminal, from the control device, a memory unit that stores the received processing rule, and a processing unit that in a case of communicating via the network, adds quality information to a packet in accordance with a processing rule that corresponds to the packet by referring to the processing rule stored in the memory unit.
摘要:
A terminal communicating with a network including a forwarding device for forwarding a packet and a control device for controlling the forwarding device in accordance with a request from the forwarding device, includes: a communication unit that receives a processing rule specifying a method of processing the packet, which is determined by the control device, from the control device, a storage unit that stores the received processing rule, and a processing unit that in a case of communicating with the network, processes the packet in accordance with the processing rule that corresponds to the packet by referring to the processing rule stored in the storage unit.
摘要:
A terminal communicating with a network including a forwarding device(s) for forwarding a packet and a control device for controlling the forwarding device(s) in accordance with a request from the forwarding device, includes: a communication unit that receives a processing rule indicating that a packet for communicating with a first destination is changed so as to communicate with a second destination, from the control device; a storage unit that stores the received processing rule, and a processing unit that in a case of communicating with the network, changes a destination of a packet in accordance with a processing rule that corresponds to the packet by referring to the processing rule stored in the storage unit.
摘要:
A communication system comprises: a plurality of forwarding nodes each of which processes an incoming packet in accordance with a packet handling operation; a data base which stores a first table for determining a role of a user of a source node from information about the source node and a second table for defining an accessible or inaccessible resource for each role and which transmits a response about a resource accessible or inaccessible by the user of the source node in response to a request from a control apparatus; and a control apparatus which uses, when receiving a request for setting the processing rule from any one of the forwarding nodes, information about the source node included in the request for setting the processing rule, querying the data base for a resource accessible or inaccessible by the user of the source node, creating the processing rule based on the response from the data base, and setting the processing rule in the forwarding node.
