一种面向HLS协议的CDN主动预热方法和装置

By integrating a real-time warm-up component into the CDN edge service node, and utilizing the Nginx service process in collaboration with the real-time warm-up component, proactive warm-up of the HLS protocol is achieved. This solves the problem of unpredictable origin pulls in high-concurrency scenarios of traditional CDN systems, and improves the smoothness and resource utilization efficiency of HLS live streaming services.

AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Traditional CDN systems cannot effectively predict the timing of user requests in high-concurrency, weak network, or sudden traffic scenarios, resulting in unpredictable origin server response times. This leads to congestion of origin server egress bandwidth and links, affecting the quality of HLS live streaming services.

Method used

A real-time preheating component is integrated into the CDN edge service node. Through the collaboration between the Nginx service process and the real-time preheating component, the active preheating of the HLS protocol is achieved. It intelligently identifies and pre-caches TS segments that may be requested, manages the cache using LRU or LFU strategies, and performs heat analysis and deduplication in conjunction with the TS segment pool management module.

Benefits of technology

It effectively reduced playback stuttering caused by unstable origin links, improved the smoothness and user experience of HLS live streaming services, and optimized resource utilization.

Abstract

本发明公开了一种面向HLS协议的CDN主动预热方法和装置,属于网络通信与内容分发技术领域。本发明应用于CDN边缘服务节点,通过在节点中集成包含配置下发、数据收集、处理及切片池管理模块的实时预热组件,与Nginx服务进程协同形成闭环控制。其核心在于变传统的被动回源为主动预热:当监测到用户对特定直播流的访问时,系统智能识别后续可能被请求的TS分片,并提前将其从源站拉取至边缘缓存。本发明通过切片池管理模块对TS流进行热度分析与去重,依据访问频次实施分级管理与淘汰,在保障预热精准性的同时优化资源利用。本发明有效降低了因回源链路不稳定导致的播放卡顿,提升了HLS直播服务的流畅性与用户体验。
