Problems solved by technology

[0010] During the practice and research of the prior art, the inventor found the following problems in the prior art: after the MAC address of the end user is aged out, the ASN-GW will broadcast the message sent to the end user in the VLAN , so a large number of downlink broadcast packets will be generated, resulting in unnecessary waste of bandwidth, especially air interface resources

Embodiment Construction

[0025] The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for updating a MAC address. Through the embodiment of the present invention, the customer premises equipment reports the MAC address list to the access network gateway according to the MAC address list reporting period, and the access network gateway reports the MAC address list according to the MAC address list reported by the customer premises equipment. The address list resets the MAC address aging timer, so that when the end user does not perform air interface services for a long time, the access network gateway can still update the MAC address learning table of the end user, thereby reducing the number of failures caused by the aging of the MAC address. The number of downlink broadcast packets generated saves air interface resources.

[0026] As shown in Figure 6, it is a flowchart of a method for updating a MAC address according to an embodiment of the present invention, which specifically includes the follo...

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a method for updating media access control (MAC) address, including the following steps: a MAC address list reported by user local equipment according to a preset MAC address list reporting cycle is received; according to the MAC address list, the MAC address ageing timer of the terminal which the user local equipment serves is reset. With the embodiment of the invention invention, the user local equipment reports the MAC address list to an access network gateway according to the MAC address list reporting cycle; the access network gateway, according to the MAC address list, resets the MAC address ageing timer of the terminal which the user local equipment serves; therefore, when the terminal user does not execute empty traffic for a longer time, the MAC address learning table of a terminal user can still be updated, thereby reducing the flow rate of downlink broadcasting message generated due to MAC address ageing and saving empty resource.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a method, system and device for updating a MAC address. Background technique [0002] WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability Microwave Access) is a wireless metropolitan area network access technology with a maximum transmission speed of 75Mbit / s and a signal transmission radius of up to 50 kilometers, basically covering the suburbs of the city. Because of this long-distance transmission feature, WiMAX can be used not only as a wireless access technology, but also as a wireless extension of wired network access, and can easily realize network connections in remote areas. As shown in FIG. 1 , it is a reference model of a WiMAX network. The WiMAX network is composed of an ASN (Access Service Network, access service network) and a CSN (Connectivity Service Network, connection service network). The ASN is managed by a NAP (Network Access Provider, network access provider), and the ...
