可以理解的是,在实际应用的过程中,某些NFV业务允许中断,某些NFV业务不允许中断。因此,在用户申请的NFV业务允许中断的情况下,MANO网元发送的配额申请请求可以携带业务可中断指示。在用户申请的NFV业务不允许中断的情况下,MANO网元发送的配额申请请求可以携带业务不可中断指示。It can be understood that, in the process of actual application, some NFV services are allowed to be interrupted, and some NFV services are not allowed to be interrupted. Therefore, in the case that the NFV service applied by the user is allowed to be interrupted, the quota application request sent by the MANO network element can carry an indication that the service can be interrupted. In the case that the NFV service applied by the user is not allowed to be interrupted, the quota application request sent by the MANO network element can carry an indication that the service cannot be interrupted.
从而,若所述配额申请请求中携带有业务可中断指示,则在线计费系统在接收到配额耗尽通知后执行步骤110;若所述配额申请请求中携带有业务不可中断指示,则在线计费系统在接收到配额耗尽通知后执行步骤111。Therefore, if the quota application request carries an indication that the service can be interrupted, the online charging system executes step 110 after receiving the quota exhaustion notification; if the quota application request carries an indication that the service cannot be interrupted, the online charging system The fee-based system executes step 111 after receiving the quota exhaustion notification.
110、在线计费系统向MANO网元发送停止消息。110. The online charging system sends a stop message to the MANO network element.
其中,所述停止消息用于指示MANO网元暂停所述用户申请的NFV业务。Wherein, the stop message is used to instruct the MANO network element to suspend the NFV service applied by the user.
111、在线计费系统向MANO网元下发配额。111. The online charging system issues a quota to the MANO network element.
需要说明的是,在线计费系统下发的配额的具体数目可以根据实际情况来确定。It should be noted that the specific number of quotas issued by the online charging system may be determined according to actual conditions.
可选的,在所述用户的账户余额不足时,在线计费系统依然向MANO网元下发配额。同时,在线计费系统向客户端返回余额不足提醒。Optionally, when the account balance of the user is insufficient, the online charging system still issues quotas to the MANO network element. At the same time, the online charging system returns a reminder of insufficient balance to the client.
通过上述方法,能够避免不可中断的NFV业务由于目标配额耗尽而中断。Through the above method, interruption of uninterruptible NFV services due to exhaustion of target quotas can be avoided.
