Network set-top box and method for network downloading, file publishing

Abstract

The invention discloses an IP set-top-box and a method for downloading network and issuing files, which belong to the file downloading field. The method for downloading network comprises: connecting with a directory server through downloading a seed file, obtaining information of each set-top box user end with the file and file storage conditions from the directory server, selecting each set-top box with the file through routing, and downloading files from the selected set-top box through network protocols. The IP set-top-box comprises a connection building module, an information obtaining module, a set-top box selecting module, a file downloading module and a storage module. The IP set-top-box and the method calculate and select a suitable user end through routing, fragment file downloading is carried out through adopting the P2P technique, the downloading speed is faster, the network operation cost is saved, and the IP set-top-box and the method are mainly applied in the network downloading and IP set-top-box technical fields.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of network downloading, and in particular relates to a method for downloading files by selecting a user end through routing. Background technique [0002] The current set-top box download schemes all use the client / server mode, that is, the C / S mode. This method has high requirements on the server, so the cost is high; when all client set-top boxes are downloaded, they need to connect to the server and download files from the server. , is largely limited by server configuration and network conditions, and with the increase of download clients, the download speed is low. [0003] P2P means that people can directly connect to other users' computers to exchange files, instead of connecting to the server to browse and download as in the past. P2P is the abbreviation of peer-to-peer, which is called peer-to-peer networking. P2P technology mainly refers to the information control technology after the connection o...

Problems solved by technology

However, the P2P set-top box network requires both a complete content provider and a coordinator, which increases the cost; moreover, if the downloaded client does not close the download program, the P2P user cannot select the client that needs to be downloaded. It will increase a large amount of unnecessary data traffic in the network, and the download speed will decrease as the number of clients increases.
