A method and device for determining popular live video

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for determining popular live video. The network device first obtains a plurality of video request messages for the target video, and then determines statistical information of the target video according to the plurality of video request messages, the statistical information including the video information for the target video obtained within a set duration The number of request messages and the fragmentation information of the video fragments requested by each video request message, and finally determine whether the target video is a popular live video according to the statistical information. In the embodiment of the present invention, the network device determines the statistical information of the target video by obtaining the video request message for the target video, and identifies popular live videos on the Internet through the statistical information, and carries the popular live videos in a multicast manner to avoid popular live videos. The paralysis of the network and video server caused by the transmission of the live video through the unicast method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of the Internet, in particular to a method and device for determining popular live videos. Background technique [0002] At present, many Internet video websites provide live video services to users, but most of them are transmitted in a unicast manner based on Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (English: Hyper Text Transfer Protocol, HTTP for short). The characteristic of the unicast method is that the server directly sends video data to each client requesting the video service, while the characteristic of the live video is that the audience watching the same program sees duplicate content, which means that the live video is transmitted through the unicast method A large amount of repeated data content will be transmitted, and the repeated data content occupies a large amount of network bandwidth, greatly increasing network traffic and video server load, and resulting in low network utilization.

Problems solved by technology

However, this live video transmission method of multicast bearer needs to pre-configure the live program channel that needs to be transmitted by multicast bearer, and only when the network device recognizes the pre-configured live program channel will it be transmitted in multicast bearer mode

This pre-configuration method takes a lot of time. If some live program channels are not configured for multicast bearer transmission, even if the videos played by these live program channels become popular videos, they will still be sent to Client, in this case it is likely to cause the paralysis of the network and video server
