An embodiment of the invention provides a charging method and equipment, access equipment, a service quality control method and equipment. The charging method comprises the following steps of receiving a content request, wherein the content request carries a content identification and an application identification; the content identification is used for identifying a request content; the application identification is used for identifying an application, is used for identifying the content request and carrying out triggering through the application; returning the content and determining a flow generated by the content; sending an indication flow to the charging equipment and a charging request of the application so that the charging equipment takes the flow as a flow generated by the application and charges. In the embodiment of the invention, according to the application identification carried in the content request, the application indicated by the application identification is acquired and the content request is triggered by the application. Therefore, the flow generated by the request content and the charging request of the application can be sent to the charging equipment so that a purpose that the charging equipment takes the flow as the flow generated by the application and carries out charging is reached.
