Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of IPTV (Interactive Personality TV) terminal technology, and in particular to a BIERv6 technology simulation system suitable for an IPTV platform. Background Art

[0002] IPv6 is an intelligent IP network for the 5G and cloud eras that can meet the needs of flexible networking, rapid service activation, simplified network operation and maintenance, differentiated security, and other carrying requirements. BIERv6 is a new multicast protocol that defines the forwarding path by the source or ingress router and sends the control information along with the packet. By encapsulating the set of multicast message destination nodes in the form of a bit string (BitString) in the message header and sending it to the intermediate nodes, the network intermediate nodes do not need to establish a multicast distribution tree and save the flow status for each multicast stream. Instead, they only need to complete the copy and forwarding based on the bit string in the message header.

[0003] BIERv6 combines BIER with Native IPv6 message forwarding, solving problems such as small scale of traditional multicast applications, slow fault convergence, and slow multicast join response. By using bit index replication technology, the intermediate nodes of the network do not need to perceive the multicast stream status, but only need to guide the replication and forwarding of multicast services based on the bit index, which greatly improves the reliability, flexibility and large-scale deployment capabilities of multicast services. BIERv6 can efficiently carry multicast services such as IPTV, video conferencing, distance education, telemedicine, and online live broadcasts. Currently, IPTV integrated broadcast and control platforms all use IPv4 technology and have not yet deployed IPv6. The application of BIERv6 technology in IPTV integrated broadcast and control platforms has not yet been tested and may also involve changes to existing business processes.

[0004] However, traditional multicast protocols are complex and lack scalability. Intermediate nodes must maintain multicast state for each stream and rely on multicast routing protocols to create multicast trees, introducing complex control signaling into the network. In an IPTV integrated broadcast control platform, each multicast corresponds to a TV channel, and a large-scale IPTV system supports hundreds or even thousands of subscription channels. Traditional multicast routing protocols establish a corresponding multicast distribution tree for each multicast. Each router in the network maintains hundreds to thousands of multicast forwarding state information, consuming valuable router resources and placing considerable strain on legacy equipment in the existing network. Traditional stateful multicast technologies require the deployment of complex resource reservation and label distribution protocols, resulting in low reliability and a poor user experience. The higher the multicast traffic volume, the more multicast trees must be established in the network, increasing network overhead.

[0005] When the number of multicast subscribers or the network topology changes, the convergence time of the multicast tree is significantly extended due to the impact of the number of multicast states. Furthermore, creating a multicast tree consumes a large amount of resources, such as memory and CPU. This also prolongs the time it takes for services to reconverge after a network failure, making it difficult to deploy on large networks and severely impacting user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is how to use BIERv6 technology to optimize the transmission efficiency of IPTV services, thereby improving user experience and ensuring reliability; in view of this, the present invention provides a BIERv6 technology simulation system suitable for IPTV platforms.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is that the BIERv6 technology simulation system suitable for the IPTV platform includes:

[0008] The data plane is used to build a data forwarding plane based on the Mininet simulation platform to implement the BIERv6 forwarding router simulation function, including data forwarding function and local control function;

[0009] The control plane is used for the BIERv6 centralized controller to connect to each simulated Bier router through the network to achieve centralized control of the data plane;

[0010] Mininet simulation platform is used to simulate the connection between each routing node and the network that needs to be simulated at the bottom layer. The simulation system realizes the connection of each Bier router and the transmission of data packets based on Mininet, and connects to the real network through the physical network interface of the simulation host to process real IPv4 / IPv6 multicast packets, realizing end-to-end multicast service simulation experiments.

[0011] In one embodiment, the system further includes a simulation interface, specifically configured to:

[0012] Network topology display: Dynamically monitor the status of the simulated network and display the network topology in a visual way. It supports the identification and display of different device types such as hosts, Bier routers, and ordinary routers. The specific experimental topology will be set according to the experimental requirements in the later stage.

[0013] Device information: supports viewing the basic information of Bier routers, including IP address, BFR ID, hardware address and other information;

[0014] Link status monitoring: real-time monitoring of the link status of the simulated network data plane and real-time update of the network topology;

[0015] View forwarding table: Support viewing the forwarding table information of each routing device through the topology map, including IPv6 forwarding table, multicast table, and BIERv6 forwarding table;

[0016] Bier OAM Ping: Pings one or more specified Bier routers through the interface and displays the response delay and packet loss rate;

[0017] iFIT detection visualization: Add and delete flow detection paths, and display packet loss rate and transmission delay through curves.

[0018] In one embodiment, the deployment of the system includes:

[0019] The control plane and data plane are simulated on the same physical machine; or

[0020] The control plane, data plane, and simulation interface are deployed separately for simulation.

[0021] In one embodiment, the data forwarding function specifically uses the P4 language to implement the protocol stack of the simulated BIERv6 router; the local control function includes completing the local control function of the Bier router.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has at least the following advantages:

[0023] The present invention can be used to address the possible business and security risks that may exist in the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 and BIERv6 in the IPTV integrated broadcast control platform, and solves the problems of complex traditional multicast protocols, weak scalability, and high network overhead. Through the mininet simulation platform, with applications as the entry point and breakthrough, it verifies the advantages of BIERv6 technology in optimizing IPTV business transmission efficiency, improving user experience, and ensuring reliability, thereby further optimizing user experience.
