Embodiment 1

[0086] figure 1 A structural block diagram of a content distribution system according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. like figure 1As shown, the content distribution system may mainly include: a CDN module 11 for providing data streams of live programs. For the specific structure of the virtualization controller 13, reference may be made to the relevant descriptions of the following embodiments. A plurality of network devices 17 are configured to communicate with the virtualization controller 13, and its specific structure can refer to the relevant description of the following embodiments. Multiple network devices establish HTTP connections through the virtualization controller 13 to obtain the live program data stream from the CDN module 11, and send the obtained live program data stream to the player of the user terminal 19 .

[0087] Wherein, the network device on the user side can be represented by RD, and RD can be, for example, a PC (Personal Co...

Embodiment 2

[0122] Figure 4 A structural block diagram of a virtualization controller according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. like Figure 4 As shown, the virtualization controller 13 in the embodiment of the present invention can be set in the content distribution network in the cloud in the above embodiment, as a component of the content distribution network in the above embodiment. Wherein, the virtualization controller may mainly include:

[0123] The client interface module 31 communicates with the player of the user terminal 19 and is configured to receive a content distribution request sent by the player of the user terminal 19 .

[0124] The classification module 33 communicates with each network device 17, and is used to perform device classification according to the status information of each network device 17, wherein the classification result includes that the network device 17 is a first-level device or a second-level device, so The first-level devic...

Abstract

The invention relates to a user-side bandwidth aggregation method, an apparatus and a content distribution system. The user-side bandwidth aggregation method comprises the following steps that: a virtual controller at a content distribution network receives a content distribution request sent by the player of a user terminal; equipment grading is carried out according to the state information of network equipment, and grading results include first-grade equipment and second-grade equipment; the grading results are issued to corresponding network equipment; a hypertext transfer protocol HTTP connection is established between the first-grade equipment and the second-grade equipment under control; and the address information of at least one set of second-grade equipment is returned to the player of the user terminal, so that the available bandwidth of the returned second-grade equipment can be utilized to perform content distribution for the player of the user terminal. With the user-side bandwidth aggregation method, the apparatus and the content distribution system of the invention adopted, the bandwidth of user-side network equipment can be aggregated greatly, and high-quality service content can be provided, and the expansion of the scale of the system can be benefited.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of the Internet, in particular to a user-side bandwidth aggregation method, device and content distribution system. Background technique [0002] Network audio and video live broadcast technology is an important popular Internet application. Its architecture development at the background data transmission end has gone through a single server stage, a server cluster stage, and a CDN (Content Delivery Network, content distribution network) + client P2P stage. [0003] Among them, in the single-server stage, only a single server provides services, and the player of the user terminal is directly connected to the server through the streaming media protocol, obtains audio and video data, and decodes and plays them locally. [0004] In the server cluster stage, a variety of hot backup server cluster solutions or a networking solution for CDN distribution from the source server to the edge server is adopted....
