Method and device for optimizing P2P traffic

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for optimizing P2P (peer-to-peer) traffic. The method comprises the following steps that: a P2P control module generates an address list of P2P resources and provides the server addresses of all the fragments of a streaming media file for a P2P user terminal to download according to the acquired module list released by media, the related information of the P2P user terminal and the status information of the access network. The invention further discloses a device for optimizing P2P traffic. The P2P control module of the device generates the address list of the P2P resources and provides the server addresses for the P2P user terminal to download the fragments of the streaming media file according to the acquired module list released by the media, the related information of the P2P user terminal and the status information of the access network. By using the device and method, the invention can solve the problem that the traffic of the existing P2P access is not reasonable for lack of effective management and guide, thus preventing backbone networks from being burst by a large amount of unreasonable traffic.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of telecommunications, in particular to a P2P traffic optimization method and device. Background technique [0002] In the Internet field, the birth of streaming media technology ended the era in which users had to download audio or video files from the Internet to play them. When the user begins to watch the program, the rest of the program can be downloaded from the server in the background. [0003] While the streaming media technology is favored in the Internet field, the telecom industry is also actively seeking ways and means to introduce the streaming media technology in the telecom field, in order to enrich the telecom business and attract more users. Different from the service concept in the Internet field, in the telecommunications field, the service quality requirements for business are relatively high, which requires the telecommunications network to have strong management and control capabilities for bus...

Problems solved by technology

However, P2P technology lacks effective management and guidance when selecting service-end peers (peers), and is basically in a state of laissez-faire.

It is this arbitrariness and blindness in selecting peers that leads to a large amount of unreasonable P2P traffic and consumes a large amount of network bandwidth resources. For example, a P2P user terminal in Beijing chooses to provide resource download The peer-to-peer peers can be in Beijing or abroad. If the server that provides resources for downloading is a peer-to-peer peer in foreign countries, it will bring a lot of unnecessary P2P on the domestic backbone network and inter-network links. traffic, increasing the bandwidth cost between networks

The unmanaged and controlled P2P connection method of P2P technology will waste a lot of network resources and bring unreasonable traffic
