Based on MGCP protocol of I P phone is a kind of in the multiple voip technology, is easy to realize in equipment that the user can directly carry out speech exchange by IP network by it.Fig. 1 is the networking diagram of existing processing VoIP business based on the MGCP agreement, media gateway in the drawings (MG) has public network IP and directly is linked into internet (Internet), pass through Internet, carry out service data interaction by MGCP agreement and Media Gateway Controller (MGC), carry out data interaction by RTP and RTCP Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTP/RTCP) between the MG.MG be used to finish and MGC between negotiations process, speech and the IP bag of MGCP protocol massages between modulus/digital-to-analogue conversion packing, and be responsible for carrying out the transmission and the reception of Media Stream, the IP address of MG can be that static configuration also can be dynamically to obtain.MGC is responsible for the management to MG and following the user that answers the call of MG, and resolves the MGCP protocol massages, finishes the charging work to the VoIP business.The MGCP protocol massages is carried on User Datagram Protoco (UDP) (UDP) message usually, and after MGCP consulted to finish between MG and the MGC, caller and called subscriber place MG will obtain the IP and the udp port of the other side's carrying media stream (being carried on the RTP/RTCP agreement).

As from the foregoing, in the network of existing processing VoIP business, user side equipment MG must have an IP address, promptly directly adopt public network IP to receive Internet, like this, based on the VoIP traffic carrying capacity of MGCP when big, must use a large amount of MG equipment, thereby cause consuming a large amount of IP addresses.And, after in case MG has taken the IP address, usually be can not discharge this IP in for a long time, because based on the IP phone the same with public switched telephone network (PSTN) phone common take 24 hours " online " of MGCP, this just relatively causes new waste under the situation of anxiety at present original public network IP.In addition, the IP address of MG directly appears at Internet, because MG does not have safeguard procedures usually, suffers the attack from Internet easily.

Summary of the invention

The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of network system and method for the processing VoIP business based on MGCP, use this network system to handle the VoIP business and can save a large amount of IP addresses, and can make MG equipment avoid attack from Internet.

For achieving the above object, use MGCP provided by the invention is handled the network system of VoIP business, comprise by the interconnective Media Gateway Controller in internet (Internet) (MGC), media gateway (MG) and the substation that is connected with media gateway, between Media Gateway Controller (MGC) and media gateway (MG), also comprise the MGCP ALG (MGCP ALG) that can carry out network address translation, the media gateway (MG) that is connected with MGCP ALG (MGCP ALG) configuration private network IP address at the MGCP agreement.

The processing method of the VoIP business based on above-mentioned network system provided by the invention comprises:

Step 1: transmit IP address and User Datagram Protoco (UDP) (UDP) port that uses by Media Stream between the media gateway of two needs conversations of MGCP signaling message negotiation between calling subscriber's media gateway and called subscriber's media gateway and the Media Gateway Controller (MGC), and, simultaneously IP address and port in the media flow transmission protocol parameter of consulting in the message payload (Payload) are changed changing by the IP address and the udp port of heading in the negotiation packet of MGCPALG;

Step 2: when mutually mutual Media Stream is by MGCP ALG (MGCP ALG) between calling subscriber and the called subscriber IP address in the data heading and port are carried out being sent to the other side after the conversion of private network IP address, udp port number and public network IP address, udp port number.

Because the present invention is based on the network of existing processing VoIP business based on MGCP, between MGC and MG, be provided with the MGCP ALG (MGCP ALG) that can carry out network address translation at the MGCP agreement, like this, on MGCP ALG, only dispose a spot of public network IP address, and dispose a large amount of private network IP address at connected MG, just can solve existing network and consume the too much problem of public network IP address, simultaneously because the fire compartment wall effect of MGCP ALG, can avoid MG directly to be subjected to attack from Internet.
