Network flow measuring instrument and network flow payment system using measuring instrument

Abstract

The invention provides a network flow measuring instrument and a network flow payment system using the measuring instrument, wherein the network flow measuring instrument is low in cost, high in measuring precision and good in security; the network flow measuring instrument comprises an MCU (Microprogrammed Control Unit), a flow measuring chip, a memory cell, a network switching module, a user IC (Integrated Circuit) card and a software management system; the MCU is used as the control center of the whole system, and the MCU is used for being responsible for controlling orderly operation of the whole hardware system and realizing network control by controlling the flow measuring chip; the Ethernet connecting of multiple users is realized by controlling a multi-port switching module; the storage of flow data and user data is realized by controlling the memory cell; real-time monitoring of network flow is realized through the software management system mounted at a PC (Personable Computer) end; and the information updating of remaining flow inside the memory cell is realized by controlling the user IC card. The user IC card is a logic encryption card, different memory areas are encrypted by adopting different encryption factors, and the flow measuring chip is corresponding to the characteristic information of the user IC card uniquely.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a network flow measurement and payment system, in particular to a low-cost, high measurement precision and good confidentiality network flow measuring instrument and a network flow payment system using the measuring instrument. Background technique [0002] Network flow measurement is to use effective software and hardware measurement tools to measure the network data and information flow generated by users in the process of using wired or wireless networks, and use the measured flow information to evaluate the network environment, billing and management. application. [0003] Flow measurement methods can be divided into active measurement and passive measurement. Active measurement obtains the status information of network traffic by sending measurement data packets in the network to process and respond to results. This flow measurement method will interfere with the network, while passive measurement Only the flow informatio...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] As far as the current situation is concerned, telecom operators implement a time-based billing method for ordinary broadband users, but the consequence of this method of implementing unlimited traffic is that users use bandwidth resources unrestrainedly, resulting in network congestion, making The already limited bandwidth resources are even more stretched
