Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a TCP NAT traversal method based on the PCP (Peercast Protocol) protocol. Background technique
[0002] At present, there are many P2P video playback software developed based on Peercast, such as the Tvants video playback software currently used by Zhejiang Telecom, Peercast is an open source P2P streaming software developed abroad, Peercast has customized the PCP (Peercast Protocol) The media data and control messages between media are transmitted through the PCP protocol. The PCP protocol is an application layer protocol built on the TCP / UDP transport layer. Currently, the PCP protocol uses the TCP transport layer protocol. In the current Internet network environment, there are a large number of NAT (Network Address Translation) equipment creates a logically separated area, so that peer nodes behind NAT cannot directly connect and communicate. Therefore, video playback software developed on the basis of Peercast will face the...
