Provided are a data flow distribution method and a controller. The method includes: a software defined network (SDN) controller acquiring data flow description information of a data flow; and the SDN controller deciding, according to the data flow description information, whether the data flow needs distribution, and when the data flow needs the distribution, delivering a distribution rule flow table to a distribution gateway. By using the technical solutions, application/service data flow based distribution is implemented. Compared with the related art that distribution is implemented based on a PDN connection and based on a bearer, the technical solutions implement finer-granularity distribution, and improve experience of users and competition of operators.

Systems, devices and techniques for policy and charging rule function that is responsive to the access network used by a user equipment include receiving policy enforcement information for operation of a user equipment (UE) from a policy and charging rule function-plus (PCRF+) in the FMC system; the policy enforcement information being based on an access technology used by the UE and enforcing a service policy based on the received policy enforcement information.
摘要:
A method and system for notifying information applied to an Evolved Packet System/General Packet Radio Service network implemented by a Software Defined Network is provided, in which, a controller reselects a gateway to obtain a new gateway and sends user plane information of the new gateway to a front-end network element. The user plane information comprises user plane address information of the new gateway. The controller sends a GPRS Tunnel Protocol (GTP) notification message or GTP Update Bearer Request message carrying the user plane information of the new gateway to the front-end network element; or sends a GTP Update Bearer Request message carrying an update indication to the front-end network element, sends a bearer response message carrying the user plane information to the front-end network element through a GTP Modify Bearer Response after receiving a GTP Modify Bearer Request message sent by the front-end network element.
摘要:
Provided is a method for selecting a shunt gateway and a controller. The method includes that: the controller allocates an Anycast address of Serving Gateways (S-GWs) for a user equipment, and sends the Anycast address to all of the S-GWs; the controller sends the Anycast address to a radio-side network element via a Mobility Management Entity (MME); and when the controller receives a Packet_In message and a first uplink data packet from the user equipment sent by an S-GW, the controller selects the S-GW as an S-GW for the user equipment.

Disclosed is a charging method and system based on a SDN EPC network, which includes: receiving, by a controller, a charging rule from a charging rule generator, and establishing, through binding, a correspondence between a flow table of the controller and the charging rule; setting, by the controller, entries for the flow table bound to the charging rule, and sending the set flow table to a UGW; and receiving, by the controller, a statistical result, reported from the UGW, regarding traffic and/or duration consumed by a service in the flow table, and charging for the service according to the statistical result and the charging rule bound to the flow table.
摘要:
Disclosed are a method, device, system for detecting a data link, controller, and gateway. The method comprises: an SDN controller sends a GTP request message to a first UGW, and instructs the first UGW to send the GTP request message to another GTP endpoint in a GTP user plane signaling format; the SDN controller receives a GTP response message from the first UGW, and detects a data link between the first UGW and the another GTP endpoint according to the GTP response message, the GTP response message being corresponding to the GTP request message. The disclosure solves the problem in the prior art that logic of a user plane and logic of a control plane are unclear during detection of a data link between GTP endpoints, thereby improving the clarity of the logic of the user plane and the clarity of the logic of the control plane.
