Streaming media distribution and transmission network system

Abstract

The invention discloses a streaming media distribution and transmission network system, which comprises a network television center business platform, one or more node data centers and one or more user equipment, wherein one data center is used for receiving element information and streaming media data from the network television center service platform and sending the element information to the node data center; the address of the corresponding node data center is returned to the user equipment according to a domain system DNS (Domain Name Server) domain analysis request of the user equipment; the node data center is used for acquiring the streaming media data from the data center according to the element information; the streaming media data or the addresses of the other user equipment are returned when a content access request of the user equipment is received; the user equipment is used for sending the content access request to the corresponding node data center according to the address of the node data center returned by the data center; and the node data center interacts the data with the corresponding user equipment if the node data center returns the addresses of the other user equipment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a streaming media distribution and transmission network system. Background technique [0002] With the popularization of broadband and streaming media applications, streaming media broadband operating platforms and Internet TV applications are broadband value-added services with great market and social value, and have been widely used in telecommunications, education, radio and television and other fields. At the same time, traditional CDN (Content Delivery Network, content distribution network) and other network transmission technologies have been widely used due to their inherent advantages: [0003] Global load balancing, fast access speed, allowing users to connect to the nearest server, improving the efficiency of users accessing websites. [0004] Hot content is actively transmitted, automatically tracked, and automatically updated. [0005] Seamless integration, high reliabilit...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0009] However, as the demand for online video streaming continues to increase, the CDN network gradually shows many shortcomings, especially with the expansion of service capabilities, continuous linear investment is required, which is a heavy burden for content operators

Therefore, the bottleneck of traditional content distribution network technology such as CDN makes large-scale application very difficult. Even if it is barely applied, it can only be realized by paying a large amount of hardware equipment and a large amount of expensive bandwidth rental resources, and it often stops during peak concurrent hours. buffer

[0010] 1. Investors want to do streaming video, but the high cost makes them daunting; operators are in a dilemma in the face of huge resource upgrade and maintenance costs, as well as the growing number of users

[0011] 2. The huge one-time investment made investors suspicious of the market, and the high price of bandwidth rental became a major obstacle for operators to make profits

The playback quality decreases with the increase of the number of users, the user experience effect is disappointing, and it is difficult to retain long-term stable fixed users

[0012] 3. Some operators have considerable user resources, but most of the profitable income is invested in continuous hardware upgrades and bandwidth rental increases, often out of proportion to the rewards

[0013] 4. Operators often have to devote most of their energy to the maintenance of the huge hardware and bandwidth of the system, and do not have more energy to study the profit model and content acquisition, which makes the profit model single, and the program content of the established operators gradually loses their uniqueness attractiveness, gradually reducing user loyalty

Obviously, disorderly exchanges lead to unnecessary cross-regional or even cross-border "remote traffic travel", which consumes precious domestic and international bandwidth resources, and network operators such as telecommunications will pay a huge price.
