A kind of charging method, control plane network element, forwarding surface network element and charge system

摘要

The present invention provides a variety of charging methods, one of which charging method includes：When forwarding surface billing statistics information, which meets, presets charging trigger condition, forwarding surface network element then sends forwarding surface billing statistics information to charge system, charging morning and afternoon mark can also be sent to charge system, charge system is after receiving forwarding surface billing statistics information, actively control plane billing information request is sent to control plane network element, control plane network element is after receiving the solicited message, then control plane charge information is sent to charge system, charging Context identifier can also be sent, charge system is then based on charging Context identifier, forwarding surface billing statistics information and control plane charge information are associated and execute charging processing.By increasing the interface between forwarding surface network element and charge system, realize that reporting for forwarding surface billing statistics information is directly sent to charge system by forwarding surface network element, so as to shorten charging time delay.
