Apparatus, system and method for distributing stream medium content

Abstract

The invention discloses a stream media content delivery method and the system thereof, used for effectively shielding the influence on the stability of the system because of the node faults and the link abnormity in the existing stream media CDN and improving the service quality of the system. The stream media content delivery method provided by the invention includes that manage the program configuration information of the stream media utility services prearranged by a page execution entity, wherein the program configuration information includes the address information of a server for memorizing various stream media contents; according to the stream media content request transmitted from user terminals and the program configuration information, a super node server obtains the corresponding stream media content data from the corresponding server and provides the stream media content data to the user terminals. The invention also discloses a server used for delivering stream media contents.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a method, system and device for distributing streaming media content. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the popularization of network broadband, the development of streaming media applications has been greatly accelerated. The number of video users is large and growing rapidly, and the capacity of the streaming media market has greatly increased. The traditional mode in which streaming media services are directly provided by an Internet Content Provider (ICP, Internet Content Provider) is facing serious challenges. [0003] ICP is usually a physical node established in one or a few places, and each node is composed of several streaming media servers or clusters. Through these physical nodes, streaming media services are provided to Internet users across the country and even around the world. However, these physical nodes have problems such as ne...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

This method can effectively solve the reliability problem of data transmission, but because the existing streaming media CDN software system usually can only obtain data through standard streaming media protocols, and these protocols have poor support for P2P, when multiple channels of data are fused into one In the process of data processing, it is easy to have problems such as excessive data redundancy or data inconsistency

It can be seen that the existing streaming media content distribution software architecture cannot provide strong support for solving the problem of data transmission reliability.

[0021] 2. Most of the existing technical solutions use general-purpose servers, and their configuration and management need to be carried out on a single device one by one, which is not conducive to large-scale node deployment and full deployment, resulting in a significant increase in operation and maintenance costs

[0022] 3. The software system of the node server has limited scalability and lacks a complete programming framework and model suitable for streaming media content distribution networks

In addition, the same streaming media content may be distributed using multiple protocols. How to reduce the repeated consumption of network resources between CDN nodes and how to make this method of reducing resource waste have better scalability and versatility are also important for streaming media. Yet Another Challenge for CDN Software Architecture

[0024] To sum up, with the increase in the number of users, the existing streaming media CDN server software system cannot effectively shield the impact of node failures and link anomalies on service quality, and it is difficult to quickly adapt to new streaming media applications. Adapt to a wide range of deployments and applications
