Abstract:
1. A method applied in the Internet for distributing a service according to a terminal type, wherein correspondence relations between the terminal type, and an IP address of a network administration server, and an IP address of a service server are stored in a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, the method comprising: initiating, by the terminal, a DHCP access request to a BRAS (Broadband Remote Access Server), wherein terminal type information is included in the DHCP access request; upon receiving the DHCP access request from the terminal, querying, by the BRAS, for the DHCP server corresponding to the terminal type information; forwarding, by the BRAS, the DHCP access request to the corresponding DHCP server, wherein a correspondence relation between the terminal type and the DHCP server is stored in the BRAS; issuing, by the DHCP server, an assigned IP address to the terminal, and querying for and issuing an IP address of the network administration server and an IP address of the service server corresponding to the terminal type information; registering, by the terminal, with the network administration server according to the obtained IP address of the network administration server, and obtaining an access to the network; initiating, by the terminal, a service request to the service server according to the obtained IP address of the service server; and distributing, by the service server, the service; wherein the network administration server is independent of the service server, and the IP address of the network administration server is different from the IP address of the service server.
