Detailed Description

In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application. This application is capable of implementation in many different ways than those herein set forth and of similar import by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of this application and is therefore not limited to the specific implementations disclosed below.

The application provides a network scheduling method, a network scheduling device and an electronic device. The following detailed description and the description of the steps of the method are individually made with reference to the drawings of the embodiments provided in the present application.

The embodiment of the network scheduling method provided by the application is as follows:

referring to fig. 1, which shows a processing flow diagram of an embodiment of a network scheduling method provided in the present application, referring to fig. 2, which shows a schematic diagram of a live broadcast architecture provided in the present application, referring to fig. 3, which shows a schematic diagram of one type of routing information provided in the present application, referring to fig. 4, which shows a schematic diagram of a second type of routing information provided in the present application.

Step S101, acquiring a service address of a network data stream service party.

In a live broadcast service scenario, a live broadcast party (e.g., a main broadcast user) continuously transmits a video stream acquired by a camera from a Network to a service node of a Content Delivery Network (CDN) (in the live broadcast service scenario, all service nodes of the Content Delivery Network can be used as a stream pushing server), and uploads the acquired video stream to a video source through the Content Delivery Network for a listening/watching party (e.g., a watching user of live video) to perform live video watching. In the whole access link, the access from the live broadcast party or the listening/viewing party to the service node of the content distribution network is the most uncontrollable, and how to select the optimal access link from the live broadcast party or the listening/viewing party to the service node of the content distribution network is the most important thing.

The application provides a network scheduling method, which comprises the steps of collecting the service address of a live broadcast party or a listening/watching party, carrying out reverse routing detection (a user initiates a request to a b server from a current IP address to a b server to be a forward routing request, otherwise, actively initiating a detection request to the IP address of the user on the b server through an access record on the b server to be reverse routing detection) on a service node of a content distribution network by taking the user (the live broadcast party or the listening/watching party) as granularity, detecting a network access path with the optimal service address to the live broadcast party or the listening/watching party in the content distribution network, allocating the service node corresponding to the detected optimal access path to the live broadcast party for live broadcast stream pushing processing or allocating the listening/watching party for video live broadcast watching, thereby realizing the scheduling of allocating the optimal service node, the method and the system not only ensure the availability of the live broadcast service, but also schedule the optimal service node to the live broadcast party and the listening/watching party, thereby improving the user experience of the live broadcast party and the listening/watching party in the live broadcast service scene.

It should be noted that, especially in an application scenario where the access service node has a relatively high requirement on stability, the network scheduling method provided by the present application implements optimal scheduling, such as a live broadcast service scenario, remote teaching, video conference, and a live broadcast service scenario applying AR (Augmented Reality)/VR (Virtual Reality)/MR (mixed Reality), and has a very obvious optimization effect, and can embody a scheduling effect of optimal scheduling to the greatest extent, thereby improving user experience.

The network scheduling method is described in the embodiment of the application by taking a live service scenario as an example, and it should be noted that the network scheduling method is not limited to the live service scenario, and may also be implemented in other application scenarios, such as remote teaching, video conference, and application scenarios of an AR (Augmented Reality)/VR (Virtual Reality)/MR (Mixed Reality), which are not limited in this embodiment.

In a live broadcast service scene, the network data stream service party comprises a live broadcast party and a listening/watching party, and correspondingly, for the live broadcast party, the service address of the network data stream service party refers to the live broadcast address of the live broadcast party; for the listening/viewing party, the service address of the network data stream service party refers to the user address of the listening/viewing party. The step of obtaining the service address of the network data stream service party means obtaining the live broadcast address of the live broadcast party or obtaining the user address of the listening/watching party, and prepares for reverse routing detection in the following steps.

In an embodiment of the present application, after acquiring the live broadcast address of the live broadcast party in this step, it is further required to determine a network operator to which the live broadcast party belongs and a geographic area where the live broadcast address of the live broadcast party is located in the network operator, for example, a network operator of a network used by an anchor user a is: china telecom, a live address xxxx1 of a anchor user A, wherein the live address xxxx1 is specifically located in Beijing area of China telecom.

Similarly, after acquiring the user address of the listening/viewing party in this step, it is further required to determine the network operator to which the listening/viewing party belongs and the geographical area where the user address of the listening/viewing party is located in the network operator, for example, the network operator of the network used by the live video viewing user B is: china Mobile, watching the user address xxxx2 of the user B, wherein the user address xxxx2 is specifically in Shenzhen district of China Mobile.

Step S102, the service address is synchronized to a service node of the content distribution network.

In the step S101, a live address of a live broadcast party or a user address of a listening/viewing party is obtained, and the obtained live address of the live broadcast party or the user address of the listening/viewing party is synchronized to each service node in the content distribution network, so as to further prepare for subsequent reverse routing detection at the service node in the content distribution network.

As described above, after the live broadcast address of the live broadcast party is obtained in the above steps, a network operator to which the live broadcast party belongs and a geographical area where the live broadcast address of the live broadcast party is located in the network operator are further determined; based on this, the live address of the live broadcast party, the network operator to which the live broadcast party belongs, and the live broadcast address of the live broadcast party are preferably synchronized together to all service nodes of the content distribution network in the geographical area where the network operator is located.

Or after the user address of the listening/viewing party is obtained in the above steps, further determining the network operator to which the listening/viewing party belongs and the geographical area where the user address of the listening/viewing party is located in the network operator; based on this, the user address of the listening/viewing party, the network operator to which the listening/viewing party belongs, and the user address of the listening/viewing party are preferably synchronized together on all service nodes of the content distribution network in the geographical area where said network operator is located.

Step S103, detecting the routing information from the service node of the content distribution network to the service address.

In practical applications, service nodes of a content distribution network may be deployed based on multiple network operators, and may also span geographic areas of multiple provinces, cities and even countries, and in order to ensure stability of data access, service nodes belonging to the same network operator and/or located in the same geographic area may be preferentially scheduled to a live broadcast party or a listening/viewing party.

In a preferred embodiment provided in the embodiment of the present application, detecting routing information from a service node of the content delivery network to the service address specifically includes: screening out service nodes which belong to the same network operator as a live broadcast party and are located in the same provincial geographical area in the network operator as a live broadcast address of the live broadcast party from service nodes of a content distribution network, and detecting routing information from the service nodes to the live broadcast address of the live broadcast party aiming at all the screened out service nodes; or, a service node belonging to the same network operator as the listening/viewing party and located in the same provincial geographical area as the user address of the listening/viewing party in the network operator is screened out from service nodes of the content distribution network, and for all the screened out service nodes, routing information from the service node to the user address of the listening/viewing party is detected.

For example, the network operator of the network used by the anchor user a is: china telecom, wherein a live broadcast address xxxx1 of a anchor user A is specifically positioned in Beijing area of China telecom; the service nodes in the content distribution network deployed in the beijing area of the chinese telecommunications are preferentially scheduled, and specifically, for all the service nodes in the content distribution network deployed in the beijing area of the chinese telecommunications, the routing information from each service node to the live broadcast address xxxx1 is respectively detected.

Step S104, determining the optimal access path from the service node of the content distribution network to the service address according to the detected routing information.

The optimal access path in the embodiment of the present application preferably refers to an access path that takes the shortest time to access from a service node of a content distribution network to a live address of a live broadcast party or a user address of a listening/viewing party. In addition to this, the optimal access path may also be the access path with the shortest access path from the service node of the content distribution network to the live address of the live broadcaster or the user address of the listening/viewing party, or an access path with the shortest access time and the shortest access time is taken from a service node of the content distribution network to the live address of the live broadcast party or the user address access path of the listening/viewing party, or an access path with the most stable transmission is taken from the service node of the content distribution network to the live address of the live broadcast party or the user address access path of the listening/viewing party (in practical application, the transmission stability may be measured by whether the access time for transmitting the same data packet in different time periods is stable or not, or measured by whether the access time for transmitting different data packets in the same time period is stable), which is not limited in this embodiment.

For example, referring to fig. 2, fig. 3 and fig. 4, in the service node a and the service node B shown in fig. 2, the routing information from the service node a to the live address 105.178.108.18 of the live party is detected, and the detected routing information from the service node a to the live address 105.178.108.18 is shown in fig. 3, wherein:

trace route refers to live address 105.178.108.18, the complete path from service node a to live address 105.178.108.18 includes "2 (xe-0-0-3-xar2.lo1.cw. net (195.59.222.237))" to "10 (41.48.192.53 (41.84.192.53))" for 9 hops, and records the access time consumed per hop.

In the probing process, in order to make the probing more accurate, 3 data packets are sent in sequence in the probing process, and the time consumed for accessing each data packet is recorded, taking the 2 nd hop "xe-0-0-3-xar 2.lo1.cw. net (195.59.222.237)" as an example: the access time consumption of 3 data packets sent successively is respectively as follows: 0.269ms, 0.282ms and 0.276ms, and taking any one of the three data or taking the average value as the time consumed by the access of the 2 nd hop; hops 3 through 10 are similar to hop 2.

And then summing up the access time consumption of 9 hops in total for '2 (xe-0-0-3-xar2.lo1.cw. net (195.59.222.237))' to '10 (41.48.192.53 (41.84.192.53))', namely, the access time consumption of a complete path from the service node A to the live broadcast address 105.178.108.18.

The detected routing information of the serving node B to the live address 105.178.108.18 is shown in fig. 4, from which it can be derived that access to the full path from the serving node B to the live address 105.178.108.18 is time consuming.

Similar to the service node a and the service node B, after calculating the time consumed for accessing all service nodes to the live broadcast address in the content distribution network, the optimal access path refers to a service node with the shortest time consumed for accessing from the service node to the live broadcast address in the content distribution network.

Step S105, allocating the service node corresponding to the optimal access path to the service request of the network data stream service party.

The service request of the network data flow service party in the embodiment of the application comprises the following steps: the live broadcast push stream request is initiated by a live broadcast party when the live broadcast push stream starts, and the video receiving stream request is initiated by a listening/watching party when the video live broadcast watching is carried out. In specific implementation, after receiving a live broadcast stream pushing request initiated by a live broadcast party at the start of live broadcast stream pushing, distributing the determined optimal access path from the service node of the content distribution network to the live broadcast address of the live broadcast party to the live broadcast party so that the live broadcast party carries out live broadcast stream pushing through the scheduled optimal access path; or after receiving a video streaming request initiated by the listening/watching party during video live broadcast watching, allocating the determined optimal access path from the service node of the content distribution network to the user address of the listening/watching party to the direct listening/watching party, so that the listening/watching party carries out video live broadcast watching through the scheduled optimal access path.

The following is further explained around a live service scenario:

in a live broadcast service scene, a live broadcast stream pushing process is performed for a live broadcast party, and in specific implementation, service nodes of a content distribution network are scheduled for live broadcast stream pushing operation and are divided into the following two types:

firstly, detection scheduling is carried out in advance, an optimal access path allocated to a live broadcast party is determined and stored, and when the live broadcast party carries out live broadcast stream pushing, the live broadcast party directly reads a corresponding service node from the pre-stored optimal access path to carry out live broadcast stream pushing operation.

Preferably, after the step of determining an optimal access path from a service node of a content distribution network to a live broadcast address of a live broadcast party according to the detected routing information is executed, and before the step of allocating the service node corresponding to the optimal access path to a live broadcast stream push request initiated by the live broadcast party is executed, the method includes: storing the optimal access path in a scheduling database, wherein the optimal access path is stored in a mapping relation between a live broadcast address and a service node; and then, receiving a live broadcast stream pushing request initiated by a live broadcast party, and reading an optimal access path corresponding to the live broadcast address from the scheduling database according to the live broadcast address of the live broadcast party carried by the live broadcast stream pushing request, so that the live broadcast party can perform live broadcast stream pushing operation according to the optimal access path.

And secondly, real-time scheduling, namely determining an optimal access path distributed to the live broadcast party in real time after receiving a live broadcast stream pushing request initiated by the live broadcast party when the live broadcast stream pushing starts, and performing live broadcast stream pushing operation according to a service node corresponding to the optimal access path. Preferably, in the subdivision scenario of real-time scheduling, after receiving a live streaming request sent by a live sender, the scheduling of the service node is started, that is: the above steps S101 to S105 are sequentially performed.

Similarly, in a live broadcast service scenario, in a process of performing live video viewing for a listening/viewing party, in a specific implementation, service nodes of a content distribution network are scheduled for the listening/viewing party and are divided into the following two types:

it should be noted that, in practice, the number of viewing users who view live videos is large, and the calculation amount required for scheduling all the viewing users is also large, so that in practical application, service node scheduling can be selectively performed on the viewing users, for example, scheduling of service nodes is performed on live video viewing member users whose member levels meet predetermined levels, so that the part of users can enjoy better live broadcast experience.

Firstly, detection scheduling is carried out in advance, an optimal access path allocated to a listening/watching party is determined and stored, and when the listening/watching party carries out live video watching, the listening/watching party directly reads a corresponding service node from the pre-stored optimal access path to carry out live video watching.

Preferably, after the step of determining an optimal access path from a service node of the content distribution network to a user address of the listener/viewer according to the detected routing information is executed, and before the step of allocating the service node corresponding to the optimal access path to the video streaming request initiated by the listener/viewer is executed, the method includes: storing the optimal access path in a scheduling database, wherein the optimal access path is stored according to the mapping relationship between a user address and a service node; and then, receiving a video receiving request initiated by a listening/watching party, and reading an optimal access path corresponding to the user address from the scheduling database according to the user address of the listening/watching party carried by the video receiving request, so that the listening/watching party can perform live video watching according to the optimal access path.

And secondly, real-time scheduling, namely determining an optimal access path allocated to the listening/watching party in real time after receiving a video streaming receiving request initiated by the listening/watching party, and carrying out live video watching according to a service node corresponding to the optimal access path. Preferably, in the subdivision scenario of real-time scheduling, after receiving a video streaming request sent by a listener/viewer, the scheduling of the service node is started, that is: the above steps S101 to S105 are sequentially performed.

To sum up, in the live broadcast service scene, the network scheduling method collects the live broadcast address of the live broadcast party or the user address of the listening/watching party and synchronizes the live broadcast address or the user address of the listening/watching party to the service node of the content distribution network, thereby reversely detecting the routing information from the service node to the live broadcast address of the live broadcast party or the user address of the listening/watching party at the service node of the content distribution network, and scheduling the determined optimal access path from the service node to the live broadcast address of the live broadcast party to the live broadcast party for live broadcast stream pushing processing, or scheduling the determined optimal access path from the service node to the user address of the listening/watching party to the listening/watching party for video live broadcast watching, thereby not only ensuring the availability of the live broadcast service, but also realizing the scheduling of the optimal service node and improving the overall stability of the live broadcast service, and the user experience of the live broadcast party and the listening/viewing party in the live broadcast service scene.
