Under normal circumstances, the transmission of network data, such as web browsing, downloading, online games, video and other data, needs to be transmitted in parallel through the public Internet. However, due to the complexity of public network lines and the connections between different network operators, network data congestion or delay is caused. However, for some application scenarios that require high real-time network data, such as when using online games, users need to minimize network delays to obtain fast transmission and response. For example, if a user is using Telecom's broadband in Xi'an, to access the game server of China Unicom's network in Guangzhou, it needs to transfer to China Unicom's server through China Telecom's server first, and then access the game in Guangzhou through China Unicom's network server, and if there is no server in the local area where China Telecom transfers to China Unicom, it needs to be transferred through a third place, such as Beijing, Shanghai, etc. Through this set of complex public network switching connections, once one of the nodes fails or the traffic is too large, it will inevitably cause network data congestion or delay.

Detailed ways

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided for more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for establishing an online game connection, as shown in Figure 1, the method includes:

101. The central control server acquires the Internet Protocol IP address of the game server.

In the Internet, in order to establish an effective network connection, it is necessary to know the IP address of the object to be accessed, through which data can be transmitted with the object to be accessed. Therefore, to establish an online game connection, you must first obtain the IP address of the game server, and the existing methods for obtaining the IP address of the game server are generally obtained by the game terminal by downloading and installing the game client. It is loaded in its client, and game users can automatically connect to the game server according to the IP address after starting the online game. In the embodiment of the present invention, the IP address of the game server is obtained through the central control server. The central control server is a network server provided by a third-party online game connection party. A large number of online game game servers can be obtained through the central control server. IP address.

102. The central control server generates a routing table recording the IP address.

In computer networking, a routing table or routing domain information base (RIB) is a spreadsheet (file) or database-like stored on a router or networked computer. The routing table stores the path to a specific network address, and its main purpose is to implement routing protocols and static routing. The routing table can be fixedly set by the system administrator, or dynamically modified by the system, automatically adjusted by the router, or controlled by the host. The fixed routing table set in advance by the system administrator is called static (static) routing table, which is generally preset according to the configuration of the network when the system is installed, and it will not change with the change of the network structure in the future. The routing table that is automatically adjusted according to the operation of the network system is called a dynamic (Dynamic) routing table. According to the functions provided by the routing protocol (Routing Protocol), it can automatically learn and remember the network operation, and can automatically calculate data when needed. The best path for transmission.

Among them, the path information contained in the routing table is mainly composed of network addresses (IP addresses). Therefore, after the central control server obtains the IP addresses of a large number of online game servers, it will also generate a record with these IP addresses. routing table.

103. The central control server sends the routing table to the game terminal.

After the central control server generates the routing table, it will send the table to the game terminal. Since the number of online game game servers will increase with the increase of game users, the routing table will update the IP address in it according to the change of the game server. . Therefore, the central control server will send the routing table to the game terminal regularly or irregularly according to the update of the routing table, so as to ensure that the user of the game terminal can connect to the latest game server.

104. The game terminal creates a virtual network card, and redirects the IP address in the routing table to the IP address of the virtual network card.

A virtual network card (also known as a virtual network adapter) uses software to simulate a network environment and simulate a network adapter to establish a local area network between remote computers. Among them, the virtual private network (VPN) is a link technology based on a virtual network card. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, since the VPN network needs to be used, it is necessary to create a virtual network card on the game terminal, because the virtual network card is the software that comes with the windows system, so in the windows series operating system, it can be conveniently directly Add a virtual network card, and take Windows 7 system as an example to illustrate the specific operation steps:

1. Click "Start", then right-click on "Computer", and click "Manage".

2. The "Computer Management" interface appears, click "Device Manager", right-click on the first line, there will be two options "Scan for hardware changes (A)" and "Add obsolete hardware (L)", here please select " Add Legacy Hardware (L)" option.

3. When "Welcome to the Add Hardware Wizard" appears, click Next and select "Install the hardware I manually selected from the list (Advanced) (M)".

4. Pull down until "Network Adapter" appears, select it and click "Next".

5. Select "Microsoft" for the manufacturer, select "Microsoft Loopback Adapter" for the network adapter, and click "Next".

6. In the next step, click "Next" to complete.

After the game terminal creates the virtual network card, it will redirect the IP address in the routing table sent by the central control server to the IP address of the virtual network card. Among them, redirection refers to redirecting the network request to another location. For example, the redirection of a web page and the redirection of a domain name all transfer its address to a new address. The address is that the server will automatically redirect the address to the new address for access. In the implementation of the present invention, redirection specifically refers to the change of routing selection, that is to say, when the game terminal accesses the IP address in the routing table, if no redirection is performed, the game terminal will pass the IP address of its own physical network card. After redirecting to the IP address of the virtual network card, the game terminal can transfer the access path of the IP address in the routing table from the physical network card to the virtual network card, so that the game can be connected through the IP address of the virtual network card up.

105. The game terminal initiates a game connection request through the virtual network card, and the game connection request is sent to the proxy server through a virtual private network (VPN).

Among them, the virtual private network VPN mentioned in 104, its full English name is "VirtualPrivateNetwork", translated as "virtual private network", VPN belongs to remote access technology, it can be regarded as a virtual enterprise internal line, it A dedicated communication line can be established between two or more enterprise intranets located in different places on the Internet through a special encrypted communication protocol. The reason why it is called a virtual network is mainly because the entire VPN network The connection between any two nodes does not have the end-to-end physical link required by the traditional private network, but is built on the network platform provided by the public network operator. Simply put, it is to use the public link to set up a private network. Therefore, when the game terminal plays online games through the VPN network, its connection speed and data transmission capacity will be greatly improved, reducing game users' experience of game delay due to factors such as busy network.

Therefore, when the game terminal initiates a game connection request through the virtual network card, it will send the game connection request to the proxy server through the VPN network. The difference between the server and the central control server is that the proxy server is a server dedicated to online game connections.

106. The proxy server forwards the game connection request to the game server, so that the game server establishes a game connection with the game terminal.

The game connection request is forwarded to the game server through the proxy server, thereby establishing a game connection between the game server and the game terminal. Since the proxy server does not belong to a server in the public network, the game connection can further bring game terminals To more stable network service.

Therefore, the method for establishing an online game connection provided by the embodiment of the present invention obtains IP addresses of a large number of game servers through the central control server, generates a routing table with these IP addresses recorded, sends the routing table to the game terminal, and then According to the routing table, the game terminal sends the user's game connection request to the proxy server through its installed virtual network card and VPN network, and then forwards it to the game server through the proxy server to complete the game between the game terminal and the game server. connect. Compared with the existing connection through the public operator network, this connection method can distinguish the data transmission of online games from the data transmission of other network applications, and increase the quality of data transmission and communication through this dedicated channel. Speed, reduce the occurrence of data transmission congestion, reduce the delay time of data transmission, thereby improving the game experience quality of game end users when playing online games.

Based on the method for establishing an online game connection described in Figure 1, in order to further illustrate the operation of the method in specific implementations, the embodiment of the present invention also provides a method for establishing an online game connection, as shown in Figure 2, the specific steps are:

201. The central control server acquires the Internet Protocol IP address of the game server.

When the central control server obtains the IP address of the game server, it can obtain the IP address of the game server through the game terminal, or obtain the IP address of the game server through the preset IP address list on the central control server.

Among them, obtaining the IP address of the game server through the game terminal is to obtain the existing game server IP address on the game terminal. After the game terminal starts the game, the central control server can automatically transfer the IP address of the game server selected by the game terminal to connect to the game terminal. The address is obtained and saved. The IP address of the game server obtained in this way is limited by the resources of the game terminal, and the number obtained is relatively small, which is not conducive to wide application. However, the IP address of the game server obtained in this way is relatively fixed for users , which is more suitable for providing exclusive services for special users. As for the method of obtaining the preset IP address list through the central control server, the administrator presets the IP address list of the game server on the central control server. In this way, all the game servers known to the administrator can be The IP addresses of the game servers are recorded in the list. Therefore, the game server IP addresses that can be obtained in this way are the most and most complete, and are more suitable for wide application.

202. The central control server generates a routing table with recorded IP addresses.

It has been mentioned in 104 that the fixed routing table set by the system administrator in advance is called a static (static) routing table. In the embodiment of the present invention, the routing table recorded with the IP address generated by the central control server belongs to the static routing table. routing table.

203. The central control server sends the routing table to the game terminal.

Among them, in addition to regularly updating and delivering the routing table, the central control server can also accept the sending request of the game terminal, and send the latest routing table to the game terminal at any time according to the sending request, so as to meet the updating needs of the game terminal.

204. The game terminal creates a virtual network card, and redirects the IP address in the routing table to the IP address of the virtual network card.

Wherein, after the game terminal redirects the game server IP address in the routing table to the IP address of the virtual network card, in order to facilitate the game server to distinguish the game terminal, the IP address in the game terminal routing table and the IP address of the virtual network card can be to bind.

Further, in order to prevent IP address conflict or theft, the IP address in the routing table of the game terminal can also be bound with the MAC address of the virtual network card. If necessary, you can also bind the port of the proxy server to be accessed, so as to further protect the security of the IP address.

205. The game terminal initiates a game connection request through the virtual network card, and the game connection request is sent to the proxy server through a virtual private network (VPN).

Among them, since the VPN uses a public link on the Internet, in order to ensure the security of the data transmitted in the VPN network, the VPN will encrypt the data transmitted in its network. It can be understood that the VPN uses encryption technology to A data communication tunnel is encapsulated on the public network. Tunnel technology is a technology that uses one protocol to transmit another protocol, and the key to distinguishing VPN from general network interconnection is the establishment of tunnels. After data packets are encrypted, they are encapsulated and transmitted according to the tunnel protocol to ensure security. Generally, the protocol that implements data encapsulation at the data link layer is called a layer-two tunneling protocol, such as PPTP, L2TP, etc.; the protocol that implements data encapsulation at the network layer is called a layer-three tunneling protocol, such as IPSec.

1) PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) can encapsulate PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) frames into IP packets so that they can be transmitted on the IP-based Internet. PPTP uses TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) connections to create, maintain, and terminate tunnels, and uses GRE (General Routing Encapsulation) to encapsulate PPP frames into tunnel data. The payload of the encapsulated PPP frame can be encrypted or compressed or both encrypted and compressed.

2) L2TP protocol: L2TP is a combination of PPTP and L2F (Layer 2 Forwarding). is an industry standard Internet tunneling protocol that provides encapsulation for sending Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) frames across packet-oriented media. Both PPTP and L2TP use the PPP protocol to encapsulate data, and then add additional headers for data transmission on the Internet. PPTP can only establish a single tunnel between two endpoints. L2TP supports the use of multiple tunnels between two endpoints, and users can create different tunnels for different quality of service. L2TP can provide tunnel authentication, but PPTP does not support tunnel authentication. However, when L2TP or PPTP is used together with IPSEC, IPSEC can provide tunnel authentication, and L2TP does not need to be used to authenticate tunnels on Layer 2 protocols. PPTP requires the Internet to be an IP network. L2TP only requires that the tunnel media provide a packet-oriented point-to-point connection. L2TP can be used on IP (using UDP), frame relay permanent virtual circuits (PVCs), X.25 virtual circuits (VCs) or ATM VCs networks.

3) IPSec protocol: it is re-encapsulated outside the tunnel to ensure the security during transmission. The main feature of IPSec is that it can encrypt all IP-level communications. When using IPSec in tunnel mode, it only provides encapsulation for IP traffic. The use of IPSec tunnel mode is mainly for interoperability with other routers, gateways or end systems that do not support L2TP or PPTP VPN tunnel technology over IPSec.

Further, in the specific practical operation of this embodiment, OpenVPN can also be used to build a VPN network service. OpenVPN allows a single point participating in the establishment of a VPN to use a preset private key, a third-party certificate, or a username/password for identity verification . It makes extensive use of the OpenSSL encryption library, as well as the SSLv3/TLSv1 protocol. OpenVPN can run on Linux, xBSD, Mac OS X and Windows 2000/XP. At the same time, OpenVPN provides a variety of authentication methods to confirm the identities of both parties involved in the connection, including: pre-shared private keys, third-party certificates, and username/password combinations. All communication of OpenVPN is based on a single IP port. By default, UDP protocol is recommended for communication, and TCP is also supported. OpenVPN connections can pass through most proxy servers and work well in NAT environments. The server has the function of "pushing" certain network configuration information to the client, such information includes: IP address, routing settings, etc. OpenVPN provides two kinds of virtual network interfaces: common Tun/Tap driver, through which, a layer-3 IP tunnel can be established, or a virtual layer-2 Ethernet, which can transmit any type of layer-2 Ethernet data. OpenVPN's use of common network protocols (TCP and UDP) makes it an ideal replacement for protocols such as IPsec, especially when ISP (Internet service provider) filters certain VPN protocols.

206. The proxy server forwards the game connection request to the game server, so that the game server establishes a game connection with the game terminal.

Among them, when the number of game servers is large and the distance is far away, the proxy server cannot directly forward the game connection request to the game server. At this time, it is necessary to use multiple relay servers to forward the game connection request to the game server. The cooperation of the relay server and the proxy server enables the game server to establish a game connection with the game terminal.

The request is forwarded to the game server, so that the game server establishes a game connection with the game terminal.

Further, the processing unit 53 of the game terminal is configured to bind the IP address in the routing table with the IP address of the virtual network card.

Further, the protocols used by the VPN adopted by the game terminal include: PPTP, L2TP, and IPSec.
