File releasing method and system based on point-to-point

Abstract

The invention discloses a file releasing method and system based on point-to-point. The file releasing method comprises the following steps: obtaining pre-generated fragmented file package linking information; obtaining a pre-stored fragmented file package source data according to the obtained fragmented file package linking information and downloading the pre-stored fragmented file package source data; after downloading a fragmented file package, registering a client side downloading the fragmented file package to a fragmented file package P2P(peer-to-peer) torrent; and updating the fragmented file package interlinking information according to the registered fragmented file P2P torrent information. By use of the method and the system, the peek bandwidth of a server and the user cost can be reduced during the initial releasing of the file.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to information transmission technology, in particular to a peer-to-peer (P2P, Peer to Peer)-based file publishing method and system. Background technique [0002] The field of online games is the fastest growing area of ​​the Internet in recent years. Different from the traditional stand-alone games that use clients, online games mainly adopt the network model structure of client / server (C / S, Client / Server), which not only includes a powerful The online game server also includes a powerful online game client. The size of the game package (file package) of the client generally ranges from several hundred M to several G, and with the increase of new functions of online games and the expansion of original functions, the multimedia data information carried by the game package is also increasing. The game pack size is also getting bigger. [0003] After an online game operator develops a new game or upgrades an existing game, it need...

Problems solved by technology

[0018] As can be seen from the above, due to the rapid development of online games, the game package files are getting larger and larger. In the existing P2P-based file release method, for a newly released online game package or an online game upgrade patch package, the game client needs to download from the game server. For the initial download, most of the pressure will be transferred to the game server at the beginning. The peak bandwidth required by the game server is huge, and its output bandwidth can reach tens of gigabytes or even hundreds of gigabytes. The download experience is difficult to guarantee; moreover, the existing billing method adopts peak billing, which makes the user cost increase sharply
