Streaming media scheduling and distribution method capable of reducing wait time of user

Abstract

The invention discloses a streaming media scheduling and distribution method capable of reducing wait time of a user, aims at solving the technical problems of long network delay time, high disc fault rate and the like existing in the prior art, and provides the streaming media scheduling and distribution method capable of reducing wait time of the user in combination with a peer-to-peer (P2P) technique and the characteristics of a mobile internet. The streaming media scheduling and distribution method capable of reducing the wait time of the user comprises the following steps that: a plurality of areas form a distributed streaming media distribution system and a data center is arranged in the center of the areas; different files are dispersedly stored in a slice-free method; the areas communicate with each other through media routers to form a P2P network; each area comprises a media router and a plurality of media engines; resource pre-fetching operation is set; the media engines monitor system operating load in real time and report the relevant information of the media routers; and the media engines are connected and communicated with each other, media resources are freely scheduled among the engines and the like. The streaming media scheduling and distribution method capable of reducing the wait time of the user can be widely used for the on-demand and direct broadcasting service of the mobile internet.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of streaming media communication, in particular to a method for self-balanced scheduling and distribution of streaming media that can reduce user waiting time. Background technique [0002] With the development of multimedia network communication technology, multimedia streaming, especially high-bit-rate video streaming, has grown from processing thousands of users to millions of users, and in the mobile Internet, the number of users has reached more than tens of millions. Traditional distribution methods relying on centralized powerful machines or clusters cannot meet such demands. [0003] In the prior art, whether a clustered streaming server or a distributed streaming media distribution system is used, because of the limited memory of the basic unit for streaming services, cached streaming media files or streaming media file slices (dividing streaming media files into Smaller segments, called "slices") ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The disadvantages of this technical solution are: regions are divided into primary and secondary, becoming an incomplete P2P network, and the performance of the central node will have bottlenecks and pressure; it is only suitable for file-on-demand streaming services, and cannot be well adapted to uninterrupted Transmitted live streaming service; decentralized storage and scheduling with continuous slices increases network delay, and inevitably generates more disk IO access times, affecting system reliability
