Embodiment 1

[0036]It should be noted that the first user hereinafter may be any user, and does not specifically refer to a certain user.

[0037] Such as figure 2 As shown, the processing method of the access layer switch in the IPTV network of Embodiment 1 of the present application includes the following steps:

[0038] Step S201, the access layer switch receives each role and its corresponding channel multicast group address set that is allowed to watch from the AAA server, and saves it in the local role channel table; the structure of the role channel table on the access layer switch It can be shown in Table 1:

[0039] Table 1

[0040] Role Name

Set of channel multicast group addresses allowed to watch

Role1

G1, G11, G12, G13

Role2

G2, G21, G22, G23

[0041] The AAA server is pre-configured with each role and its corresponding channel multicast group address set that is allowed to watch. The set may contain at least one channel multicast...

Embodiment 2

[0078] by figure 1 The IPTV network shown is taken as an example, and the method in the first embodiment is described in detail. For example, the first access layer switch is the access layer switch A1, the first set-top box is the set-top box R1, and the user identifier of the corresponding first user is user1. The specific processing method of the access layer switch A1 includes the following steps:

[0079] Step S301, after the access layer switch A1 starts or enables the multicast feature, it receives the multicast group address set of each role and its corresponding channels allowed to watch from the AAA server S2, and then saves it in the local role In the channel table, as shown in Table 1 above.

[0080] The AAA server S2 may send the role and the corresponding multicast group address set of channels allowed to watch through the RADIUS protocol message. Specifically, the attribute field of type=26 in the RADIUS protocol message is used to carry each role and its cor...

Embodiment 3

[0101] For the method of the first embodiment above, the third embodiment of the present application provides an access layer switch in an IPTV network, such as Figure 4 As shown, the following modules are included:

[0102] The receiving module 10 is used to receive each role sent by the AAA server and its corresponding channel multicast group address set that is allowed to watch, and save it in the role channel table in the saving module 50; After the first user authentication is successful, receive the first role set corresponding to the first user sent by the AAA server; also be used to receive the group joining message sent by the first set-top box;

[0103] The obtaining module 20 is configured to obtain the multicast group address set of the first channel allowed to watch corresponding to the first user after the receiving module 10 receives the group joining message sent by the first set-top box, wherein the first channel allowed to watch The multicast group address ...

Abstract

The invention discloses an access layer switch in IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) network and a processing method thereof. The method comprises the following steps that the access layer switch receives each role sent by an AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting) server and a watch-allowed channel multicast group address set corresponding to each role and stores all the roles and the sets in a role channel table; after a first user corresponding to a first set-top box passes the authentication, the access layer switch receives the first role set sent by the AAA server and corresponding to the first user; after receiving a group joining message sent by the first set-top box, the access layer switch receives a first watch-allowed channel multicast group address set corresponding to the first user; and the access layer switch judges whether the address of the channel multicast group in which the group joining message is to join is in the first watch-allowed channel multicast group address set or not, and only if the address of the channel multicast group in which the group joining message is to join is in the first watch-allowed channel multicast group address set, the access layer switch introduces the multicast data stream of the channel multicast group to be joined in to the first set-top box. The access layer switch saves the network bandwidth.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of IPTV, in particular to an access layer switch in an IPTV network and a processing method thereof. Background technique [0002] IPTV (Internet Protocol TV or Interactive Personal TV) is a broadband cable TV network that integrates Internet, multimedia and communication technologies to provide home users with a variety of interactive services including digital TV. new technology. IPTV utilizes the infrastructure of the broadband cable TV network, uses household TV sets as the main terminal appliances, and provides various digital media services including TV programs through Internet protocols. The characteristics are manifested in: [0003] 1) Users can get high-quality digital media services. [0004] 2) Users can have a very wide range of freedom to choose video programs provided by various websites on the broadband IP (Internet Protocol, Internet Protocol) network. [0005] 3) Realize the ...
