Downloading speed limiting method and system

Abstract

The invention discloses a downloading speed limiting system, which comprises a hyper text transfer protocol (HTTP) downloading module, a peer-to-peer (P2P) downloading module, an HTTP downloading speed measurement module, a P2P downloading speed measurement module and a downloading speed limiting management module, wherein the HTTP downloading module and the P2P downloading module are used for executing data downloading under the control of the downloading speed limiting management module; the HTTP downloading speed measurement module is used for monitoring and measuring an HTTP downloading speed in real time, and providing the HTTP downloading speed to the downloading speed limiting management module; the P2P downloading speed measurement module is used for monitoring and measuring a P2P downloading speed in real time, and providing the P2P downloading speed to the downloading speed limiting management module; and the downloading speed limiting management module is used for obtaining an overall downloading speed according to the received HTTP downloading speed and the received P2P downloading speed, judging whether the overall downloading speed exceeds a speed limiting value preset by a user, and preferably limiting the HTTP downloading speed if the overall downloading speed exceeds the speed limiting value. The invention also provides a downloading speed limiting method. By the system and the method, the functions of P2P downloading can be fully developed, and the bandwidth cost of an HTTP server can be saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a peer-to-peer (P2P, Peer-to-Peer) downloading technology of the Internet, in particular to a method and a system for limiting download speed. Background technique [0002] Compared with the traditional distributed system, P2P technology has incomparable advantages, so it has a wide application prospect. For a time, various P2P application software emerges one after another on the Internet, and the number of users increases sharply. P2P downloading is one of the main applications of the Internet at present, and it is also the application that occupies the most server bandwidth, and the downloaded files such as games and other application software are also showing an increasing trend. At present, the mainstream P2P downloading tools all adopt the combination of Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP, HyperText Transfer Protocol) multi-source downloading and P2P downloading. Without the support of HTTP downloading sources, P2P downloa...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] It can be seen from this that although the download speed limiting scheme in the prior art can effectively control the download speed, the control of the download speed does not take into account the priority of limiting the download speed of HTTP, which easily leads to the bandwidth of the HTTP server. The cost is always kept at a high level, which is not conducive to saving the bandwidth of the HTTP server
