Abstract

The invention discloses a streaming media resource downloading method and a cache server. The method comprises the steps of receiving a resource acquisition request pointing to a target streaming media resource; under the condition that the target streaming media resource is not cached, sending a data downloading request for obtaining a specified data segment in the target streaming media resourceto a source station server; wherein the specified data segment is at least used for representing the playing duration of the target streaming media resource; receiving a response message which is fedback by the source station server and contains the specified data segment, and calculating a back-to-source rate adaptive to the target streaming media resource according to the response message; anddownloading the target streaming media resource from the source station server according to the back-to-source rate, and feeding back the downloaded content to an initiator of the resource acquisition request when downloading the target streaming media resource. According to the technical scheme provided by the invention, the back-to-source bandwidth in the CDN can be reduced, so that the operation cost of the CDN is saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of the Internet, in particular to a method for downloading streaming media resources and a cache server. Background technique [0002] In a CDN (Content Delivery Network, content distribution network), generally, a cache server and an origin server may be included, wherein the cache server may be deployed in different geographic locations according to geographic location planning. When a user's client accesses network resources through the CDN, the access request can first be distributed to a cache server through a load balancing strategy. Then the cache server can provide the corresponding network resource in the local cache to the client, or download the corresponding network resource from the origin server and provide it to the client. [0003] At present, in order to provide users with network resources as soon as possible, the cache server in the CDN usually downloads network resources from the source ...
