Point-to-point fluid-medium telecommunication system and method for allocating supernode resources

Abstract

The system comprises: source servers, node server, supper node (SP), client side and proxy server. The invention is used for managing all source server and supper node, dynamically allocating the SP resources to the stream media programs according to the actual connection state of the stream media program and the network resource state of SP, and informing the program information and SP resource to the node server and its corresponding SP. The method comprises: a) getting the actual connection state of each currently-used SP resource and the stream media program; b) according to the actual connection state of the SP resource and stream media program, configuring the SP resource for the dedicated stream media program, and using the configured SP resources to provide service for the dedicated stream media.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the Internet communication technology, in particular to a point-to-point streaming media communication system and a configuration method for super node (SP) resources thereof. Background technique [0002] At present, peer-to-peer streaming media communication technology has been widely used in the Internet field, providing rich streaming media services for the majority of Internet users. Users can watch their favorite TV programs or listen to audio programs through peer-to-peer streaming communication. [0003] Prior art one: [0004] FIG. 1 is a structural diagram of a peer-to-peer streaming media communication system in the prior art. Referring to Figure 1, the system includes: [0005] The streaming media source server (Source Server) is used to provide the original streaming media data corresponding to the streaming media program (the streaming media program is simply referred to as the program in this text), and report...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0011] 1. It is very random, and it is impossible to predict whether there is a specific number of clients that can be used as SP in the system. If all online clients do not meet the requirements of being an SP, the distribution of programs cannot be realized

[0012] 2. Since the client is used as the SP, and the existence time of the client is unpredictable, there is no SP that can exist stably. When the client as the SP goes offline and disconnects its connection with the system, those who rely on the SP to obtain data The client needs to re-find the SP that can obtain the data, which leads to great fluctuations in the entire system and affects the efficiency of the client receiving streaming media data.

[0013] 3. Since the client is used as the SP, the client as the SP must be able to access the source server, so the source server must be connected to the Internet (Internet), which will directly expose the service of the source server to the outside world, causing the source server to be easily attacked. raise security concerns

[0014] 4. It is impossible to optimize the allocation of SP resources according to the actual connection status of the program, that is, the listening or watching status, resulting in unreasonable program allocation and insufficient utilization of SP resources

[0022] However, the shortcoming of prior art 2 is: the configuration file on the SP is manually configured in advance according to experience, so it may be different from the actual situation, and the optimal configuration of SP resources cannot be carried out according to the actual connection status of the program, resulting in incorrect program allocation. Reasonable, the SP resources are not fully utilized, for example, some popular programs may be configured with less SP resources, while some unpopular programs may be configured with more

Moreover, modifying the SP configuration also requires manual methods, which brings a lot of trouble to operation and maintenance.
