Abstract: A method for implementing a GRE tunnel, an access point (AP), and a gateway (GW). The method includes: the AP receives a first packet, where the first packet carries an address of the GW; configures a GRE tunnel to the GW, where a source destination of the GRE tunnel is an address of the AP, and a destination address of the GRE tunnel is the address of the GW; the AP receives a second packet sent by user equipment; performs GRE tunnel encapsulation for the second packet to form a third packet; and the AP sends the third packet to the GW by using the GRE tunnel, where the third packet carries the address of the AP. The embodiments of the present application enable efficient establishment of the GRE tunnel between the AP and the GW if there are a large quantity of APs.

Abstract: The present invention provides an address allocation processing method, apparatus and system. The method includes: receiving, by a first BRAS, a DHCP relay packet sent by a second BRAS, wherein the DHCP relay packet includes a gateway IP address and source IP address-based response information; parsing, by the first BRAS, the DHCP relay packet, acquiring the gateway IP address, and allocating an idle IP address from an acquired address pool matching the gateway IP address; encapsulating, by the first BRAS, a source IP address in the DHCP relay packet into a destination IP address in a response packet according to the source IP address-based response information, and sending the idle IP address carried in the encapsulated response packet to the second BRAS. The present invention effectively solve a problem that an address waste phenomenon exists by using a built-in DHCP server in a dual-device hot backup scene.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a system for offloading network traffic are provided, which are applied in the field of mobile communications. An offloading device located before a Serving General Packet Radio Service Support Node (SGSN) receives a data stream of a user sent by a base station, obtains an offloading policy of the user from the offloading device and/or obtains the offloading policy of the user from a policy server, and forwards the data stream according to the offloading policy. Accordingly, the offloading device can obtain the corresponding offloading policy according to the data stream sent by a forwarding plane, send a data stream of low value, low real-time performance requirement, or low priority to the Internet or another specific networks, and send a data stream of high value, high real-time performance requirement, or high priority to high-value devices, thereby reducing the networking cost.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an information providing method, a home gateway, and a home network system. The method includes: obtaining an IPv6 address or an IPv6 prefix of a client and a service type of the client; establishing a mapping between the IPv6 address or the IPv6 prefix of the client and the service type of the client; sending the mapping between the IPv6 address or the IPv6 prefix of the client and the service type of the client to a Broadband Remote Access Server (BRAS), so that the BRAS dispatches and manages a service of the client according to the mapping between the IPv6 address or the IPv6 prefix of the client and the service type of the client.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and network device for defending against attacks of invalid packets, pertaining to the communication field. The method includes: receiving, by a network processor, a service feature state table from a service processing layer; receiving, by the network processor, a packet, searching the service feature state table for matching information of the packet and judging whether the packet is valid according to a search result, and if the packet is invalid, discarding the packet. The network device includes a network processor and a service processing module. With the present invention, the network processor judges whether a packet is valid according to a service feature state table and discards invalid packets early according to the judgment so as to avoid the waste of device bandwidths on the invalid packets and increase the anti-attack performance and security performance of the device.
