Abstract

Methods of processing a packet, APs, ACs and non-transitory machine-readable storage mediums are provided in examples of the present disclosure. In one aspect, an AP receives an Internet-of-Things data packet sent by an Internet-of-Things sensor, wherein a sensor identifier of the Internet-of-Things sensor is carried in the Internet-of-Things data packet; and sends the received Internet-of-Things data packet to an AC such that the AC processes the Internet-of-Things data packet based on the sensor identifier.

First claim

1 . A method of processing a packet, the method comprising:
receiving, by an Access Controller (AC), an Internet-of-Things data packet from an Access Point (AP); determining, by the AC, a sensor type of an Internet-of-Things sensor sending the Internet-of-Things data packet based on a sensor identifier carried in the Internet-of-Things data packet; and processing, by the AC, the Internet-of-Things data packet based on the sensor type.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein receiving the Internet-of-Things data packet from the AP comprises:
receiving, by the AC, a data packet from the AP; and determining, by the AC, the received data packet to be the Internet-of-Things data packet when a destination port number carried in the data packet is a preset Internet-of-Things port number.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, by the AC from the AP, a correspondence between a virtual sub-card identifier corresponding to the Internet-of-Things sensor and an interface identifier of an interface connected with the Internet-of-Things sensor on the AP, and generating a topology of the AP and a virtual sub-card based on the correspondence.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
uploading, by the AC, a result of processing the Internet-of-Things data packet based on the sensor type to a cloud server.

5 . An Access Controller (AC), comprising:
a processor, and a machine-readable storage medium storing machine executable instructions which are executable by the processor to: receive an Internet-of-Things data packet from an Access Point (AP); determine a sensor type of an Internet-of-Things sensor sending the Internet-of-Things data packet based on a sensor identifier carried in the Internet-of-Things data packet; and process the Internet-of-Things data packet based on the sensor type.

6 . The AC according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is caused by the machine-executable instructions further to:
receive a data packet from the AP; and determine the received data packet to be the Internet-of-Things data packet when a destination port number carried in the data packet is a preset Internet-of-Things port number.

7 . The AC according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is caused by the machine-executable instructions further to:
receive from the AP a correspondence between a virtual sub-card identifier corresponding to the Internet-of-Things sensor and an interface identifier of an interface connected with the Internet-of-Things sensor on the AP, and generate a topology of the AP and a virtual sub-card based on the correspondence.

8 . The AC according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is caused by the machine-executable instructions further to:
upload a result of processing the Internet-of-Things data packet based on the sensor type to a cloud server.

9 . A machine-readable storage medium storing machine executable instructions which are invoked and executed by a processor to execute the method of processing a packet according to claim 1 .
