Control method, terminal, control server and system of Skype network

Abstract

The invention discloses a control method, terminal, control server and system of a Skype network, wherein the method comprises the following steps: a Skype client detects the information of super nodes in the Skype network and reports the information of the super nodes to the control server at the network side; and the control server limits the uplink bandwidth of the super nodes according to the information of the super nodes. In the invention, the control server limits the uplink bandwidth of the super nodes, thus the capacity of the Skype network can be limited; the hardware cost of the utilized equipment is low; the limit of the Skype network can be realized under the conditions that the high processing performance is not needed and a user nearly has no perception; and the defects of no pertinence limit, high equipment cost and user perception influence in the prior art are solved.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to network telephone application technology in the communication field, and in particular to a "Skype" network control method, terminal, control server and system. Background technique [0002] "Skype" is a point-to-point (P2P) architecture client application that uses IP network to transmit voice. It is an instant voice communication tool on the Internet. It is an important application for VoIP. The number of users and The traffic volume is growing rapidly. Because Skype is a P2P application based on the Internet, it is quite difficult to control Skype network capacity and quality. [0003] There are two main ways to control the Skype network: the first is to restrict the P2P traffic in the network; the second is to use deep packet inspection to detect data packets in the network, and to use Skype data Packet drop limits Skype's network capacity and communication quality; [0004] In the process of implementing the present inve...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] 1. Although the first method is widely used and low in cost, it restricts P2P applications in the entire network, including BT downloads, online video sharing, etc., and does not restrict the Skype network capacity in a targeted manner. Will affect users' perception when using other P2P services

[0006] 2. The second method has high requirements on the performance of the device, and it requires high processing power to detect the data packets belonging to the Skype application in a large number of data packets; at the same time, because the format and characteristics of the Skype application data packets are constantly changing , the reliability and accuracy of this detection is low, and it is easy to discard the data packets of normal applications, which affects the user's perception
