This disclosure provides a
multicast network traffic scheduling method,
system, electronic device, and readable medium, belonging to the field of communications. The method includes: dividing the uplink of an access node into multiple link groups, each
link group containing multiple uplinks corresponding to the same
relay node; and dividing multiple downlink
multicast sources from the access node into multiple source groups; constructing a weight matrix, where rows correspond to source groups and columns correspond to
relay nodes; and determining
unicast routes for each source
group based on the weight matrix, so that each source group selects the node with the highest weight among multiple
relay nodes as the traffic-carrying node, thereby distributing traffic from different source groups to different relay nodes. The
multicast network traffic scheduling method,
system, electronic device, and readable medium provided in this disclosure can achieve load balancing and reduce congestion risk; simultaneously, it can be implemented using conventional routing strategies without changing the terminal and multicast protocol, resulting in low modification costs and strong
scalability.
