Method and apparatus for reducing network television multicast cutoff time

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for reducing the multicast breaking time of a network television. The method comprises the following steps: after the kernel of a home access gateway is restarted, whether a network port connected with access equipment is started or not is detected; when in starting, the network port sends a query command of the internet group management protocol to the access equipment; a multicast forward table from the home access gateway to the access equipment is established according to identifying information used for replying the access equipment of the internet group management protocol; and the multicast forward table is reported to a multicast source of the internet group management protocol. The invention discloses a device for implementing the method simultaneously. The invention can reduce the multicast breaking time of the network television, enhances the QoS of an IPTV system and has simple implementation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method and a device for processing an access device to access a network television network when a home gateway is restarted. Background technique [0002] The development of broadband provides good opportunities for digital multicast services for telecom network operators. Various business applications such as video, games, and e-commerce have become exciting due to broadband. In order to cater to this opportunity, telecom operators need to build an efficient broadband network value-added service platform, which can provide users with a simple and efficient bridge to receive services. Internet Protocol Television (IPTV, Internet Protocol Television) service, as a value-added service, already has a good market condition. figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the composition structure of the IPTV system, such as figure 1 As shown, the IPTV system IGMP multicast source, central office access equipment, home access gateway, acc...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Telecom operators conduct unified maintenance and management of home access gateways, including issuing electronic work orders and upgrading software versions. If the IPTV multicast stream between the ingress device and the IGMP multicast source is interrupted, this will cause adverse effects such as screen freezes and black screens to users who are watching IPTV real-time broadcast, resulting in poor user experience and poor IPTV system quality of service (QoS , Quality of Service) decline
