This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201810196537.8 filed on Mar. 9, 2018, the entirety of which is incorporated by this reference.
The embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of computer network communication, and specifically to a method and device for efficiently using IPv4 public address.
IPv4 protocol has achieved great success with the rapid development of the Internet over the past 20 years. At present, there are more than 3 billion IPv4 users worldwide, accounting for more than 50% of the total population. However, the rapid growth of the network scale also highlights a series of serious problems of IPv4, including insufficient address space, routing scalability issues and etc. IPv6 protocol is an Internet protocol of the next generation, and used to replace IPv4. IPv6 has characteristics such as huge address space (2{circumflex over ( )}128), hierarchical addressing and routing mechanisms, better end-to-end features, better security and mobility support.
However, IPv6 is not compatible with IPv4. In order to interconnect a newly-built IPv6 network with the IPv4 Internet, the standards proposed by the IETF include stateless translation scheme IVI, stateful translation scheme NAT64, stateless dual-translation technology MAP-T and stateful dual-translation technology 464xlat etc. It is worth pointing out that any technology that communicates with the IPv4 Internet needs an IPv4 public address. Therefore, IPv4 public addresses are extremely scarce resources in the coexistence phase of IPv4 and IPv6. For a client, it is a mature technology to allocate IPv4 private addresses and reuse IPv4 public addresses with the transport layer ports. But for servers, this technology cannot be used since a server must use IPv4 public addresses and specify specific transport layer ports. Therefore, each IPv4 public address can only have one specific transport layer port (service port) and cannot be reused. The massive use of cloud computing urgently requires IPv4 public addresses of a large number of user servers.
In view of this, how to allow IPv4 public addresses to be available to both servers and clients in the IPv6 network so as to maximize the use of the scarce IPv4 public address resources, has become a technical problem to be solved at present.
Since the problems above exist in the existing methods, the embodiments of the present application provide a method and device for efficiently using IPv4 public address.
In one aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a method for efficiently using IPv4 public address, which is applied to a core translator deployed between an IPv4 Internet and an IPv6 network, including:
mapping an IPv4 public address into a first-type IPv6 address having a first-type prefix according to a transport layer protocol port range used by an IPv6 server in the IPv6 network, so that the IPv6 server uses the first-type IPv6 address to communicate with a client in the IPv4 Internet;
mapping the IPv4 public address into a second-type IPv6 address having a second-type prefix according to a transport layer protocol port range used by an client in the IPv6 network, so that the client in the IPv6 network uses the second-type IPv6 address to communicate with a IPv4 server in the IPv4 Internet.

Alternatively, mapping the IPv4 public address into the second-type IPv6 address having the second-type prefix according to the transport layer protocol port range used by the client in the IPv6 network, so that the client in the IPv6 network uses the second-type IPv6 address to communicate with the IPv4 server in the IPv4 Internet includes:
translating a received IPv6 message sent by a user-side translator into the IPv4 message and sending the IPv4 message to the IPv4 server in the IPv4 Internet, when receiving the IPv6 message sent by the user-side translator in the IPv6 network; wherein the received IPv6 message sent by the user-side translator is the IPv6 message having the second-type prefix which is translated by the user-side translator with the received IPv4 message sent by the IPv4 client in the IPv6 network;

translate the IPv4 message fed back by the IPv4 server into the IPv6 message having the first-type prefix which is sent to the IPv6 server, when the IPv4 message fed back by the IPv4 server is within the transport layer port range of the IPv6 server in the IPv6 network; and translate the IPv6 message fed back by the IPv6 server into the IPv4 message which is sent to the client in the IPv4 Internet when receiving the IPv6 message fed back by the IPv6 server.
Therefore, the present embodiment allows the client in the IPv6 network to use the first-type IPv6 address, and the IPv6 server and client in the IPv6 network can share the same IPv4 public address to provide different services, which can complement the needs of network providers and information providers for IPv4 public addresses, and more efficiently maximize the use of the scarce IPv4 public address resources.
The device for efficiently using IPv4 public address of the present embodiment can execute the technical solutions of the method embodiments above. The implementation principle and technical effects of them are similar, and will not be repeated herein.
wherein the processor 61 and the memory 62 communicate with each other through the bus 63;
the processor 61 implements the methods of the method embodiments above when executes the computer programs. The methods, for example, may include mapping the IPv4 public address into the first-type IPv6 address having the first-type prefix according to the transport layer protocol port range used by the IPv6 server in the IPv6 network, so that the IPv6 server uses the first-type IPv6 address to communicate with the client in the IPv4 Internet; mapping the IPv4 public address into the second-type IPv6 address having the second-type prefix according to the transport layer protocol port range used by the client in the IPv6 network, so that the client in the IPv6 network uses the second-type IPv6 address to communicate with the IPv4 server in the IPv4 Internet.
The embodiments of the present application provide a non-transitory computer readable storage medium, in which computer programs are stored, wherein the methods of the method embodiments above are implemented when the computer programs are executed by a processor. The methods, for example, may include mapping the IPv4 public address into the first-type IPv6 address having the first-type prefix according to the transport layer protocol port range used by the IPv6 server in the IPv6 network, so that the IPv6 server uses the first-type IPv6 address to communicate with the client in the IPv4 Internet; mapping the IPv4 public address into the second-type IPv6 address having the second-type prefix according to the transport layer protocol port range used by the client in the IPv6 network, so that the client in the IPv6 network uses the second-type IPv6 address to communicate with the IPv4 server in the IPv4 Internet.
