1 shows a Dual Stack Home Gateway (HGW) supporting both IPv4 and IPv6 IP address It is a diagram showing an embodiment of a network configuration diagram to illustrate the allocation of .

As shown in FIG. 1, the Dual Stack Network 150 supporting IPv4 and IPv6 includes a Dual Stack Router 125 supporting IPv4 and IPv6, and an IPv6 router 135 supporting only IPv6. , 175) and IPv4 routers 145 and 165 supporting only IPv4 are deployed. The dual stack network 150 is also connected to a DHCPv4 server 160 that allocates a 32-bit (bits) long IP address according to the IPv4 protocol and a DHCPv6 server 170 that allocates a 128-bit long IP address according to the IPv6 protocol. has been A dual-stack home gateway (HGW, 120, 130, 140) supporting IPv4 and IPv6 separates a wired/wireless home network connected thereto and the external Internet such as the illustrated dual-stack network 150, and separates them between them. It not only interconnects and mediates the home network, but also plays a role in supporting mutual communication between devices constituting the home network. In an embodiment, the dual-stack home gateway 120 is implemented as any one of a wired/wireless router supporting IPv4 and IPv6 and any other devices functioning as an access point (AP). In the illustrated embodiment, the PC 122 , the IPTV set-top box 124 , the smart phone 126 , and the notebook 128 are connected to the dual-stack home gateway 120 as devices constituting the home network, but the dual-stack home gateway 120 . It should be noted that the device that can be connected to the gateway 120 is not limited thereto. The dual-stack home gateway 120 may access the DHCPv4 server 160 through the dual-stack router 125 to receive an IP address of 32-bit length according to the IPv4 protocol, or access the DHCPv6 server 170 to access the IPv6 protocol. Accordingly, an IP address with a length of 128 bits may be allocated. The dual-stack home gateway 130 may access the DHCPv6 server 170 through the IPv6 router 135 supporting only IPv6 and receive an IP address having a length of 128 bits according to the IPv6 protocol. The dual-stack home gateway 140 may access the DHCPv4 server 160 through the IPv4 router 145 supporting only IPv4 and receive an IP address of 32-bit length according to the IPv4 protocol.

When the dual stack home gateway 120 transmits a Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) Router Solicitation (RS) message to the dual stack network 150 , the same data link as the dual stack home gateway 120 within the dual stack network 150 . Any one router located on the above receives the NDP RS message and transmits an NDP RA (Router Advertisement) message to the dual stack home gateway 120 in response thereto. According to the disclosed technology, the NDP RA message may include a parameter for identifying the router that transmitted the message. In the illustrated embodiment, since the dual-stack router 125 and the router located on the same data link as the dual-stack home gateway 120 are the dual-stack routers 125, the parameters included in the NDP RA message received by the dual-stack home gateway 120 are the dual-stack routers. (125) is identified. In an embodiment, the parameter identifying the router may include an M flag and an O flag. In one embodiment, the parameter identifying the dual stack router includes an M flag set to 1 and an O flag set to 0. In response to confirming that the router that has transmitted the NDP RA message is the dual-stack router 125, the dual-stack home gateway 120 accesses the DHCPv4 server 160 through the dual-stack router 125 to access the IP address according to the IPv4 protocol. It is also possible to be assigned an address and to access the DHCPv6 server 170 to receive an IP address according to the IPv6 protocol, but according to the disclosed technology, in the above case, the dual stack router 125 connects to the DHCPv6 server 170 and Controlled to be assigned an IP address according to the IPv6 protocol.

When the dual-stack home gateway 130 transmits an NDP RS message to the dual-stack network 150 , an NDP from any router located on the same data link as the dual-stack home gateway 130 within the dual-stack network 150 . The RS message is received and an NDP RA message is transmitted to the dual stack home gateway 130 in response thereto. In the illustrated embodiment, since the router located on the same data link as the dual-stack home gateway 130 is the IPv6 router 135, the parameters included in the NDP RA message received by the dual-stack home gateway 130 are the IPv6 router 135. ) is identified. In one embodiment, the parameter identifying the IPv6 router includes an M flag set to 1 and an O flag set to 1. In response to confirming that the router that has transmitted the NDP RA message is the IPv6 router 135, the dual stack home gateway 130 accesses the DHCPv6 server 170 through the IPv6 router 135 and assigns an IP address according to the IPv6 protocol. are assigned

When the dual stack home gateway 140 transmits the NDP RS message to the dual stack network 150 , a dual stack router located on the same data link as the dual stack home gateway 140 in the dual stack network 150 or Since the IPv6 router does not exist, no response message is received. When the dual-stack home gateway 140 does not receive any response message, it recognizes that there is only an IPv4 router as the router located on the same data link as the dual-stack home gateway 140, and accordingly, the IPv4 router 145 is configured. It accesses the DHCPv4 server 160 through the DHCPv4 server and is assigned an IP address according to the IPv4 protocol.

The dual stack home gateways 120 and 130 may be assigned an IP address according to the IPv6 protocol by performing a procedure for sending and receiving Solicit, Advertise, Request, and Reply messages with the DHCPv6 server 170 . The dual-stack home gateways 120 and 140 may be assigned an IP address according to the IPv4 protocol by performing a procedure for exchanging Discovery, Offer, Request, and Ack messages with the DHCPv4 server 160 . Since the procedure for the dual-stack home gateway to be assigned an IP address is described in detail in 3GPP, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

2A and 2B are diagrams illustrating an embodiment of a flowchart for explaining a method of controlling assignment of an IP address in a dual-stack home gateway.

As shown, the IP address allocation control method according to the disclosed technology starts from the step S205 of checking whether the dual stack home gateways 120, 130, and 140 are newly booted or a new physical connection to the network is established. do. In one embodiment, the physical connection to the network includes the operation of newly connecting the dual-stack home gateways 120 , 130 , and 140 to a socket for Internet connection. If it is determined in step S205 that the dual stack home gateways 120 , 130 , and 140 have not been newly booted and it is determined that a new physical connection to the network has not been established, the process returns to step S205 . As a result of the determination in step S205, if it is determined that the dual-stack home gateways 120, 130, and 140 have been newly booted or that a physical connection to the network has been newly established, the process proceeds to step S210. In step S210, flash information about the IP version in which the home gateways 120, 130, and 140 were operated before the dual-stack home gateways 120, 130, and 140 were newly booted or a new physical connection to the network was made. It is checked whether the flash information indicates IPv6 or null by referring to (Flash) information. When the flash information indicates IPv6, it may indicate that the dual-stack home gateways 120, 130, and 140 are newly booted or operated in IPv6 mode before a new physical connection to the network is made. When the flash information is Null, since there is no information, it may indicate that the dual stack home gateways 120 , 130 , and 140 are newly opened and operated for the first time. When the flash information indicates IPv4, it may indicate that the dual-stack home gateways 120, 130, and 140 are newly booted or operated in IPv4 mode before a new physical connection to the network is established. If it is determined that the flash information indicates IPv6 or is null as a result of the check in step S210, an NDP RS message is transmitted in step S215. In one embodiment, the NDP RS message is continuously transmitted a predetermined number of times. In step S220, it is checked whether the NDP RA message has been received. If it is determined that the NDP RA message has not been received as a result of the check in step S220, for example, since the dual-stack home gateways 120, 130, and 140 have been installed and moved from the IPv6 network area to the IPv4 network area, the dual-stack home gateway Since there is no dual stack router or IPv6 router located on the same data link as (120, 130, 140), the process proceeds to step S250 to be described later and accesses the DHCPv4 server 160 to obtain an IP address. Follow the procedure to be assigned. On the other hand, if it is determined that the NDP RA message has been received as a result of the check in step S220, a procedure for accessing the DHCPv6 server 170 to be assigned an IP address is performed in step S225. In one embodiment, in order to be assigned an IP address, a procedure for exchanging Solicit, Advertise, Request and Reply messages with the DHCPv6 server 170 is performed. In one embodiment, the dual stack home gateways 120 , 130 , and 140 continuously transmit the Solicit message a predetermined number of times. In step S230, it is checked whether or not it has succeeded in receiving an IP address. If it is determined that the IP address assignment has not been successful as a result of the check in step S230, the DHCPv6 server 170 has a failure, so the process returns to step S225 and connects to the DHCPv6 server 170 to repeat the procedure for receiving an IP address again. On the other hand, if it is determined that the assignment of the IP address is successful as a result of the check in step S230, the process proceeds to step S235 to check whether the flash information is Null. If it is determined that the flash information is not null as a result of the check in step S235, the process proceeds to step S245 to operate the dual stack home gateways 120, 130, and 140 with an IP address according to the IPv6 protocol. On the other hand, if it is determined that the flash information is Null as a result of the check in step S235, the process proceeds to step S240 to update the flash information so that the flash information indicates IPv6, and then proceeds to step S245 to follow the IPv6 protocol. The dual-stack home gateway (120, 130, 140) is operated with an IP address.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the flash information neither indicates IPv6 nor Null as a result of the check in step S210, the flash information indicates IPv4, the process proceeds to step S250 and accesses the DHCPv4 server 160 to perform the procedure to be assigned an IP address. In one embodiment, a procedure for exchanging Discovery, Offer, Request, and Ack messages with the DHCPv4 server 160 is performed in order to be assigned an IP address. In an embodiment, the dual stack home gateways 120 , 130 , and 140 continuously transmit the discovery message a predetermined number of times. In step S255, it is checked whether or not it has succeeded in receiving an IP address. As a result of the check in step S255, if it is determined that the assignment of the IP address has not been successful, the process proceeds to step S260 to transmit an NDP RS message. In one embodiment, the NDP RS message is continuously transmitted a predetermined number of times. In step S265, it is checked whether the NDP RA message has been received. If it is determined that the NDP RA message has not been received as a result of the check in step S265, it is to confirm that the dual stack home gateways 120, 130, 140 are still located in the IPv4 network area and only that a failure has occurred in the DHCPv4 server. , the process returns to step S250 and performs the procedure for accessing the DHCPv4 server 160 to be assigned an IP address again. If it is determined that the NDP RA message has been received as a result of the check in step S265, the process proceeds to step S270 to check whether the router that has transmitted the NDP RA message is an IPv6 router. As a result of the check in step S270, if it is determined that the router that transmitted the NDP RA message is not an IPv6 router but a dual stack router, the process returns to step S250 and accesses the DHCPv4 server 160 to assign an IP address Repeat the procedure for receiving. On the other hand, if it is determined that the router that transmitted the NDP RA message is an IPv6 router as a result of the inspection in step S270, the dual stack home gateways 120, 130, 140 are installed after being moved from the IPv4 network area to the IPv6 network area. The process proceeds to step S225 to access the DHCPv6 server 170 and perform a procedure for receiving an IP address according to the IPv6 protocol. On the other hand, if it is determined that the assignment of the IP address is successful as a result of the check in step S255, the process proceeds to step S275 to check whether the flash information is Null. If it is determined that the flash information is not null as a result of the check in step S275, the process proceeds to step S285 to operate the dual stack home gateways 120, 130, and 140 with an IP address according to the IPv4 protocol. On the other hand, if it is determined that the flash information is Null as a result of the check in step S275, the process proceeds to step S280 to update the flash information so that the flash information indicates IPv4, and then proceeds to step S285 to comply with the IPv4 protocol. The dual-stack home gateway (120, 130, 140) is operated with an IP address.

In this way, when the dual stack home gateways 120, 130, 140 were previously operated in IPv6 mode or newly opened and operated for the first time, and when installed after being moved from an IPv4 network area to an IPv6 network area, an IP address according to the IPv6 protocol is assigned. By controlling the reception, it is possible to prevent premature exhaustion of IP addresses according to the IPv4 protocol.
