Patent Application
20200304458
The present invention relates to a management apparatus, an L3CPE, and a control method therefor.
As a method for connecting to the Internet from an in-home network via a communication carrier network, there is a method in which Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) is installed on the in-home (residential) network and the CPE is operated as a gateway (i.e., a Home Gateway (HGW)) between the in-home network and the communication carrier network.
The CPE is managed by an Auto Configuration Server (ACS) in accordance with a CPE WAN Management Protocol (CWMP) of Technical Report 069 (TR-069) (NPL 1) which is defined in BroadBand Forum (BBF).
The CPE uses CWMP: Inform, for example, when the CPE changes registered information about itself, or registers new information. The CPE illustrated in
On the other hand, when a connection is requested from the ACS to the CPE, a CWMP: Connection Request message (hereinafter referred to as a Connection Request message) is transmitted (S1303). HTTP: GET is used to transmit the Connection Request message. As a URL for a connection destination CPE that is included in the Connection Request message, ConnectionRequestURL received in S1301 is used.
When authentication for the Connection Request message is successful, the CPE transmits HTTP: 200 (OK) (S1304). The message is exchanged between the CPE and the ACS in the manner as described above.
When the CPE is installed on a private network (e.g., an in-home network or a Local Area Network (LAN)), the CPE is disposed as, for example, an L3 router that is terminated in a Layer-3 (L3), and Network Address Translation (NAT) can be applied. The NAT is a technique for converting an IP address (i.e., a private IP address or a local IP address) and a port number, which are allocated on a private network (e.g., a Local Area Network (LAN)), into another IP address (i.e., a public IP address or a global IP address) and a port number. It is common to provide the CPE with a global IP address when the CPE is installed as described above and the NAT is applied.
The CPE provided with a global IP address has IP reachability from a side of the Internet including a communication carrier network. Accordingly, it is easy to perform management, such as maintenance, on the CPE, from the Internet side.
On the other hand, when the CPE having a NAT function is disposed as a gateway on the in-home network, an apparatus (e.g., a Personal Computer (PC) or a Set Top Box (STB)) or the like on the in-home network, which is located far from the CPE as viewed from the communication carrier, has no IP reachability from the communication carrier network.
PTL 1 discloses a technique for implementing a large number of functions of the CPE including the NAT on the communication carrier network by virtually implementing CPE functions (virtual CPE (vCPE)) in L3 and higher layers on the communication carrier network.
Like in the technique disclosed in PTL 1, when functions in L3 and higher layers are transferred to the virtual CPE (vCPE) from the CPE installed on the in-home network, it is assumed that the CPE on the in-home network operates as a bridge mode. In this case, the CPE terminates a layer in L2 and lower layers, and operates with a private IP address without terminating processing in layers higher than L3 (i.e., operates as an L2CPE). Accordingly, in the L3 level, an apparatus on the communication carrier network, such as the ACS, cannot access an apparatus on the communication carrier network that is located close to the in-home network and far from the vCPE, or cannot access an apparatus on the in-home network (i.e., has no IP reachability), which causes a problem that it is difficult to remotely perform maintenance.
The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a management apparatus and the like which contribute to ensuring IP reachability to an L2CPE from a communication carrier network, such as an ACS, in a communication system including: the L2CPE disposed on an in-home network; an L3CPE installed on the communication carrier network and configured to perform address conversion processing in an L3 with the in-home network; and the ACS disposed on the communication carrier network and configured to manage the L2CPE. Note that this object is merely one of a plurality of objects to be attained by example embodiments disclosed herein. Other objects or problems, and novel features of the present invention will become apparent from the following description or the accompanying drawings.
A first aspect of the present invention discloses a management apparatus that is installed on a communication carrier network in a communication system.

The control method comprises: receiving, in an in-home network, a message for establishing the connection from the L2CPE through the L3CPE, the message including a local address used for access to the L2CPE; setting, to the L3CPE, a correspondence between the local address and a global address of the communication carrier network being used for the address conversion processing to the local address; and changing the local address included in the message to the global address and transferring the message to the ACS.
A third aspect of the present invention discloses a Layer-3 Customer Premises Equipment (L3CPE) that is installed on a communication carrier network in a communication system.

The L3CPE comprises: an interface configured to receive, from the L2CPE, a message for establishing the connection, the message including a local address used for access to the L2CPE; and a processor configured to perform address conversion processing in a Layer-3 (L3) between the in-home network and the communication carrier network, wherein the interface receives, from a management apparatus installed between the ACS and the L3CPE, an instruction for setting a correspondence between the local address and a global address used for the address conversion processing to the local address.
A fourth aspect of the present invention discloses a control method for a Layer-3 Customer Premises Equipment (L3CPE) that is installed on a communication carrier network in a communication system. The communication system includes Layer-2 Customer Premises Equipment (L2CPE) installed on an in-home network and configured to perform processing in a Layer-2 (L2) with the communication carrier network, and Auto Configuration Servers (ACS) installed on the communication carrier network and configured to support a predetermined protocol for establishing a connection with the L2CPE.

Example embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, identical or corresponding elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and repeated explanations are omitted, unless necessary, for clarity of explanation.
A plurality of example embodiments to be described below can be independently carried out, or may be carried out in combination as needed. These plurality of example embodiments include novel features different from each other. Accordingly, these plurality of example embodiments contribute to solving objects or problems to be solved which are different from each other, and also contribute to obtaining advantageous effects different from each other.
The in-home network 1 includes a CPE 11 and an in-home apparatus 12. Description is provided assuming herein that the CPE 11 according to the present example embodiment conforms to TR-069, but instead the CPE 11 may conform to other standards. Further, the CPE 11 is preferably configured to operate in a bridge mode, specifically, configured to terminate processing in L2 and lower layers, without terminating processing in L3 and higher layers. Accordingly, the CPE 11 can also be referred to as an L2CPE. Note that the CPE 11 conforms to TR-069 as described above, and therefore the CPE 11 is provided with an IP address for management from an ACS 23, which is described below. The CPE 11 may be an HGW, a Home NodeB (HNB), or a Home eNodeB (HeNB), or may be a wireless LAN router.
The in-home apparatus 12 communicates with a node on the communication carrier network 2 or a network (not illustrated) higher than the communication carrier network 2 through the CPE 11. A plurality of in-home apparatuses 12 may be provided. For example, the in-home apparatus 12 may be at least one of a Personal Computer (PC) and a Set Top Box (STB). Further, the in-home apparatus 12 may be referred to as User Equipment (UE), a Mobile Terminal (MT), a Mobile Station (MS), or a Wireless Transmit Receive Unit (WTRU).
The communication carrier network 2 includes a vCPE 21, a management apparatus 22, and an ACS 23. In this case, the vCPE 21 is a node obtained by implementing at least some of functions of the CPE 11 on an information processing apparatus (e.g., a server) which is not illustrated and is disposed in the communication carrier network 2. The vCPE 21 can also be recognized as a virtual node including some of functions of the CPE of the related art, and thus is referred to as a virtual CPE (vCPE). Examples of at least some of the functions described herein include a function for terminating processing in L3 and higher layers, and an address conversion processing function (such as Network Address Translation (NAT) for converting an IP address, a port mapping processing function for converting a pair of an IP address and a port number, and an IP masquerade function). When the vCPE 21 includes a function (such as NAT) of L3 as illustrated above, the vCPE 21 can also be referred to as an L3CPE.
Address conversion processing implemented by the vCPE 21 is, for example, an IP address conversion (e.g., Network Address Translation: NAT, Network Address Port Translation: NAPT). Specifically, the vCPE 21 has a function for converting a local address (a local IP address in NAT, or a local IP address and a port number in NAPT) allocated to each apparatus on the in-home network 1 into a global address (a global IP address in NAT, or a global IP address and a port number in NAPT) allocated to the communication carrier network 2. Further, processing for mapping (converting) a specific port of the global IP address into a specific port of the local IP address is also referred to as port mapping processing.
The vCPE 21 is communicably connected to the CPE 11 on the in-home network 1. Examples of a protocol used herein for communication include an HTTP and a Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS).
The management apparatus 22 is communicably connected to the vCPE 21, and manages a setting for address conversion processing processed by the vCPE 21. The address conversion processing may be any one of NAT, NAPT, a port mapping processing function, an IP masquerade function, and the like. However, port mapping processing is described below by way of example. More specifically, for example, exchange of a message defined by a Port Control Protocol (PCP) enables the management apparatus 22 to acquire a setting for port mapping or make an instruction for the vCPE 21. Note that other protocols such as HTTP may be used for communication between the management apparatus 22 and the vCPE 21. Furthermore, the management apparatus 22 may include a display unit or a display apparatus for displaying, for a user, a management screen for processing in L3 and higher layers, including a setting for port mapping, and an input interface (not illustrated) for receiving an input of the setting for port mapping from the user. An example of the display unit or the display apparatus is a display, but is not limited to this. An example of the input interface is a touch panel, but is not limited to this. Note that the management apparatus 22 may be referred to as a Web Portal. Further, as the Web Portal, it is preferable to operate as a TR-069 proxy with a formal certificate. Further, the management apparatus 22 includes a database implemented in a memory, which is not illustrated. The management apparatus 22 may be configured to store, in the database, a Public IP, a Tunnel ID, a CPE Manufacturer Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI), a CPE serial Number, a subscriber ID, and the like, and retrieve the database for operation.
The ACS 23 manages the CPE 11. More specifically, for example, the ACS 23 controls and manages the CPE 11 (e.g., establishes a CWMP connection (or a session; the same applies hereinafter)) by using a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) or HTTP according to the CWMP of TR-069. The ACS 23 according to the present example embodiment is also communicably connected to the management apparatus 22 by using a predetermined protocol such as an HTTP.
Note that the configuration of the communication system according to the present example embodiment is not limited to the configuration described above, but instead may include other apparatuses.
Next, an example of an operation of the communication system illustrated in
The CPE 11 transmits a connection establishment message to the ACS 23 in order to establish a connection with the ACS 23 (S101). This connection establishment message includes a local address (a local address of the CPE 11, or a URL corresponding to the local address) used for access from the ACS 23 to the CPE 11 (e.g., a connection request by CWMP: Connection Request). Note that the local address included herein is an address allocated from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server 34. In the case of the system of the related art, a global IP address is allocated and the global IP address can be used as it is for management from the ACS 23. In addition to the local address, a subscriber ID, identification information about the CPE 11 (e.g., CPE Serial Number and CPE Manufacturer OUI), or the like can also be included in the connection establishment message. When the CWMP of TR-069 is applied to this communication system, this connection establishment message is, for example, CWMP: Inform. Further, the local address can be included as, for example, ConnectionRequestURL, but is not limited to this. This connection establishment message can also be transmitted by using, for example, an HTTP.
The vCPE 21 receives the connection establishment message transmitted from the CPE 11, and converts (i.e., performs NAT processing) a transmission source local address stored in a header of a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP layer for delivering the connection establishment message into a global address (S102). After that, the vCPE 21 transfers the connection establishment message obtained by converting the address to the ACS 23 (S103).
Upon receiving the connection establishment message, the management apparatus 22 sets, to the vCPE 21, a correspondence between the local address and a global address of the communication carrier network that is used for address conversion processing to the local address (S104). More specifically, the management apparatus 22 uses the proxy function to terminate the connection establishment message for the ACS 23 transmitted from the vCPE 21, and makes, for the vCPE 21, a setting for fixed port mapping processing of the local address included in the connection establishment message and the global address obtained by conversion in the NAT processing of S102. Further, more specifically, the management apparatus 22 exchanges the message defined by the Port Control Protocol (PCP) with the vCPE 21, thereby making, for the vCPE 21, a setting for fixed port mapping of the local address included in the connection establishment message and the global address obtained by conversion in the NAT processing of S102. In this case, the management apparatus 22 may make an inquiry to the vCPE 21 about a subscriber ID, CPE Manufacturer OUI, CPE serial Number, or the like.
Further, the management apparatus 22 changes the local address included in the connection establishment message for the ACS 23 that is terminated by the proxy function in such a way as to correspond to the global address subjected to the address conversion processing in S104, and transfers the connection establishment message to the ACS 23 (S105).
The configuration and operation described above enables the ACS 23 to transmit a connection request (e.g., CWMP: Connection Request) to the CPE 11 based on the global address included in the connection establishment message. Further, the connection request transmitted to the CPE 11 is subjected to fixed port mapping in a TCP/IP layer by the vCPE 21, and thus can reach the CPE 11 on the in-home network.
Consequently, reachability from the ACS 23 on the communication carrier network to the CPE 11 on the in-home network can be ensured.
In the present example embodiment, a first detailed example of the communication system according to the first example embodiment will be described.
The communication carrier network 3 includes a vCPE 31 and an ACS 23. Like in the first example embodiment, the vCPE 31 is a node obtained by implementing at least some of functions of a CPE 11 on an information processing apparatus (e.g., a server).
The vCPE 31 includes a Web Portal 32, a virtual Broadband Network Gateway (vBNG) server 33, a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server 34, and a NAT apparatus 35. For example, functions of the Web Portal 32, the vBNG server 33, the DHCP server 34, and the NAT apparatus 35 can be executed as applications on the vCPE 31. Note that the Web Portal 32 corresponds to the management apparatus 22 according to the first example embodiment.
While the present example embodiment illustrates an example where the Web Portal 32 is included in the vCPE 31, the present invention is not limited to this example. For example, the Web Portal 32 may be an independent apparatus disposed outside the vCPE 31, like the management apparatus 22 illustrated in
The Web Portal 32 according to the present example embodiment exchanges a message defined by the Port Control Protocol (PCP), thereby making it possible to acquire or instruct a setting for port mapping for the NAT apparatus 35, or acquire a subscriber ID. Accordingly, the Web Portal 32 can make a setting for port mapping for each subscriber. Further, like in the management apparatus 22 according to the first example embodiment, other protocols such as an HTTP may be used for communication between the Web Portal 32 and the NAT apparatus 35. Furthermore, the Web Portal 32 includes a display unit or a display apparatus (not illustrated) for displaying, for the user, a management screen for processing in L3 and higher layers including a setting for port mapping, and a database (not illustrated) implemented in the memory. In the database, a Public IP, a Tunnel ID, a CPE Manufacturer OUI, a CPE serial Number, a subscriber ID, and the like can be stored. The Web Portal 32 may be configured to retrieve the database for operation.
In addition, the Web Portal 32 according to the present example embodiment operates as a TR-069 proxy with a formal certificate.
The vBNG server 33 has a function for terminating a L2 network of the in-home network of a subscriber on a side of the communication carrier network, a function for relaying DHCP traffic to the DHCP server 34, a function for identifying a subscriber by an encapsulation protocol and then transmitting IPv4 traffic to the NAT apparatus 35, and the like. These functions can be implemented by, for example, Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) or Dual-Stack Lite (DS-Lite). The vBNG server 33 is communicably connected to the CPE 11, the NAT apparatus 35, and the DHCP server 34.
The DHCP server 34 is a server that automatically issues necessary information, such as an IP address, a lease period, a subnet mask, or a default gateway, when a certain information processing apparatus (DCHP client) is temporarily connected to a predetermined network. The DHCP server 34 is communicably connected to other apparatuses located at customer premises through the vBNG server 33.
Like the vCPE 21 according to the first example embodiment, the NAT apparatus 35 has an address conversion processing function and the like.
Next, an example of the operation of the communication system illustrated in
The CPE 11 transmits an initial HTTP Post including CWMP: Inform message to the ACS 23 (S201). This CWMP: Inform message includes a URL (ConnectionRequestURL) necessary for the ACS 23 to request for connection to the CPE 11. The ConnectionRequestURL used herein is the local address (or a corresponding URL) of the CPE 11. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the ConnectionRequestURL is “192.168.0.2:7547”. Further, this CWMP: Inform message used herein may be encrypted by HTTPS or the like.
The vBNG server 33 serving as the vCPE 31 identifies a subscriber of the received CWMP: Inform message (S202), and transfers IP traffic of the CWMP: Inform message, thereby transferring the CWMP: Inform message to the NAT apparatus 35 (S203).
The NAT apparatus 35 serving as the vCPE 31 receives the CWMP: Inform message transmitted from the CPE 11, and converts a transmission source local address stored in a header of a TCP/IP layer for delivering the CWMP: Inform into a global address (i.e., performs NAT processing) (S204). More specifically, the NAT apparatus 35 converts information about the transmission source address included in the header of the TCP/IP layer of the HTTP Post (CWMP: Inform) transmitted from the CPE 11 from a local address (e.g., a local IP address and a port number) to a global address (e.g., a global address and a port number). In the present example embodiment, a local address “192.168.0.2:7547” allocated to the CPE 11 is converted into a global address “a:x (“a” represents a global IP address, and “x” represents a port number)”. After that, the NAT apparatus 35 transmits the HTTP Post (CWMP: Inform) including the converted global address (e.g., an IP address and a port number) to the ACS 23 (S205).
The Web Portal 32 serving as the vCPE 31 first terminates the HTTP Post (CWMP: Inform), which is transmitted from the NAT apparatus 35, by the proxy function. Further, the Web Portal 32 exchanges a message defined by the Port Control Protocol (PCP) with the NAT apparatus 35, thereby making an inquiry about a subscriber ID. Furthermore, the Web Portal 32 sets the NAT apparatus 35 in such a way as to perform fixed port mapping of the local address indicated by ConnectionRequestURL included in CWMP: Inform for each subscriber and the global address subjected to the NAT processing in S204, by using the subscriber ID for which an inquiry is made (S206). More specifically, the Web Portal 32 exchanges a message defined in the Port Control Protocol (PCP) with the NAT apparatus 35, thereby setting the NAT apparatus 35 for each subscriber in such a way as to perform fixed port mapping of the local address of the CPE 11 corresponding to ConnectionRequestURL included in CWMP: Inform to the global address subjected to the NAT processing.
Further, the Web Portal 32 changes the ConnectionRequestURL included in CWMP: Inform for the ACS 23 that is terminated by the proxy function to a global address obtained by performing fixed port mapping in S206, and transfers the CWMP: Inform to the ACS 23 (S207). When the CWMP: Inform is encrypted by HTTPS, the change is carried out by decrypting using the same certificate as that of the ACS.
The configuration and operation described above enable the ACS 23 to transmit CWMP: Connection Request to the CPE 11 based on the ConnectionRequestURL included in CWMP: Inform. Further, CWMP:
Connection Request transmitted to the CPE 11 is subjected to address conversion (i.e., NAT processing) from a global address (e.g., “a:x”) into a predetermined local address (e.g., “192.168.0.2:7547”) through fixed port mapping by the NAT apparatus 35, and thus can reach the CPE 11 on the in-home network.
Consequently, the reachability from the ACS 23 on the communication carrier network to the CPE 11 on the in-home network can be ensured.
Further, the vBNG server 33 identifies each subscriber for the CWMP: Inform transmitted by the CPE 11 and the Web Portal 32 performs fixed port mapping for each subscriber, thereby enabling the communication system according to the present example embodiment to perform a fine control for each subscriber.
Subsequently, configuration examples of the management apparatus 22 (Web Portal 32), the vCPE 21 (vCPE 31), and the ACS 23 according to each of the example embodiments described above will be described below.
The management apparatus 22 illustrated in
The management apparatus 22 receives, from the CPE 11 through the vCPE 21 (or the NAT apparatus 35), a message (e.g., CWMP: Inform) for connection establishment including the local address (e.g., ConnectionRequestURL) of the CPE 11 used for access (e.g., a connection request by CWMP: Connection Request) from the ACS 23 to the CPE 11 (S701).
Next, the management apparatus 22 sets, to the vCPE 21 (or the NAT apparatus 35), the correspondence between the local address of the CPE 11 and the global address of the communication carrier network used for address conversion processing to the local address (S702).
Further, the management apparatus 22 changes the local address included in the connection establishment message into a global address, and transfers the connection establishment message to the ACS 23 (S703).
Note that when the Web Portal 32 serving as the management apparatus 22 is included in the vCPE 31 as illustrated in

The interface 211 illustrated in
The vCPE 21 receives, from the CPE 11, a message (e.g., CWMP: Inform) for connection establishment including the local address (e.g., ConnectionRequestURL) of the CPE 11 used for access (e.g., a connection request by CWMP: Connection Request) from the ACS 23 to the CPE 11 (S901).
Next, the vCPE 21 performs address conversion processing in the Layer-3 (L3) between the in-home network and the communication carrier network (S902). More specifically, processing (i.e., NAT processing) for converting a local IP address which is a transmission source address, which is stored in predetermined information (e.g., a message) transmitted from the CPE 11, into a corresponding global IP address.
Further, the vCPE 21 receives, from the management apparatus 22, an instruction for setting the correspondence between the local address of the CPE 11 and the global address used for address conversion processing to the local address (S903).
Note that the vCPE 31 illustrated in
The ACS 23 illustrated in
The ACS 23 receives, from the management apparatus 22, a connection establishment message obtained by changing the local address (e.g., ConnectionRequestURL) of the CPE 11 which is used for access (e.g., a connection request by CWMP: Connection Request) to the CPE 11 and which is included in the message (e.g., CWMP: Inform) for connection establishment transmitted from the CPE 11 into the global address converted by address conversion processing of the vCPE 21 (or the NAT apparatus 35) (S1101).
Next, the ACS 23 transmits a connection request to the CPE 11 based on the global address included in the received connection establishment message (S1102).
