Method and device for selecting basic devices for network content services

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and device for selecting basic devices for network content services. The method includes the steps that a region covered with the network content services is divided into a plurality of initial sub-regions; every several initial sub-regions mutually meeting a preset region difference condition are combined into one combined region, and the combined regions and the initial sub-regions which are not combined serve as target sub-regions; selectable basic devices are determined for the target sub-regions based on the statistical frequency that alternative basic devices can meet performance requirements of users in the target sub-regions; target basic devices are selected for each target sub-region based on the estimated flow and estimated number of requests of the target sub-region and the flow accounting function and number-of-request accounting function of the selectable basic devices of the target sub-region. By the adoption of the technical scheme, control over the total basic device accounting cost can be achieved for content providers of the network content services on the premise that the performance requirements of users are met, and the time consumed in selecting the basic devices can be shortened as well.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of Internet data transmission, in particular to a method and device for selecting infrastructure for network content services. Background technique [0002] Network content services (such as online video services, file download services, etc.) usually use infrastructure such as content delivery networks (CDN), P2P networks, and data center networks to provide users with content download services. The network content provided by the network content service is downloaded from the server of the basic infrastructure. [0003] Currently, web content service providers have many infrastructure options to use. Wherein, since different infrastructures use different charging methods for network content services in the same region, the costs generated by using different infrastructures for network content services are also different. For this reason, when the network content service chooses the infrastructure for use...
