2. Video networking packet definition

2.1 Access network packet definition

The data packet of the access network mainly comprises the following parts: destination Address (DA), Source Address (SA), reserved bytes, payload (pdu), CRC.

As shown in the following table, the data packet of the access network mainly includes the following parts:

DA

SA

Reserved

Payload

CRC

wherein:

the Destination Address (DA) is composed of 8 bytes (byte), the first byte represents the type of the data packet (such as various protocol packets, multicast data packets, unicast data packets, etc.), there are 256 possibilities at most, the second byte to the sixth byte are metropolitan area network addresses, and the seventh byte and the eighth byte are access network addresses;

the Source Address (SA) is also composed of 8 bytes (byte), defined as the same as the Destination Address (DA);

the reserved byte consists of 2 bytes;

the payload part has different lengths according to different types of datagrams, and is 64 bytes if the datagram is various types of protocol packets, and is 32+1024 or 1056 bytes if the datagram is a unicast packet, of course, the length is not limited to the above 2 types;

the CRC consists of 4 bytes and is calculated in accordance with the standard ethernet CRC algorithm.

2.2 metropolitan area network packet definition

The topology of a metropolitan area network is a graph and there may be 2, or even more than 2, connections between two devices, i.e., there may be more than 2 connections between a node switch and a node server, a node switch and a node switch, and a node switch and a node server. However, the metro network address of the metro network device is unique, and in order to accurately describe the connection relationship between the metro network devices, parameters are introduced in the embodiment of the present invention: a label to uniquely describe a metropolitan area network device.

In this specification, the definition of the Label is similar to that of the Label of MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switch), and assuming that there are two connections between the device a and the device B, there are 2 labels for the packet from the device a to the device B, and 2 labels for the packet from the device B to the device a. The label is classified into an incoming label and an outgoing label, and assuming that the label (incoming label) of the packet entering the device a is 0x0000, the label (outgoing label) of the packet leaving the device a may become 0x 0001. The network access process of the metro network is a network access process under centralized control, that is, address allocation and label allocation of the metro network are both dominated by the metro server, and the node switch and the node server are both passively executed, which is different from label allocation of MPLS, and label allocation of MPLS is a result of mutual negotiation between the switch and the server.

As shown in the following table, the data packet of the metro network mainly includes the following parts:

DA

SA

Reserved

label (R)

Payload

CRC

Namely Destination Address (DA), Source Address (SA), Reserved byte (Reserved), tag, payload (pdu), CRC. The format of the tag may be defined by reference to the following: the tag is 32 bits with the upper 16 bits reserved and only the lower 16 bits used, and its position is between the reserved bytes and payload of the packet.

On the basis of the above-mentioned video network, the video network of the embodiment of the present invention may further include:

and the streaming media server is used for connecting the video network server and a streaming media user and processing the conversion between the video protocol on the Internet and the video protocol on the video network.

And the conference control platform is used for controlling a conference flow and controlling the video network terminal and the streaming media user on the streaming media server to join or quit the conference.

And the video networking server is used for connecting the streaming media server, the conference control platform and the video networking terminal and transmitting data among the three parties. At the same time, at least one video network number is stored in the video network, and the streaming media user can join the video network after being bound with the video network number to receive data of the video network or send the data to the video network.

The streaming media user, a user located on one side of the internet, is connected to the streaming media server through a webpage or an application program on an electronic device such as a computer, a mobile phone, a tablet computer and the like.

As shown in fig. 5, a flowchart illustrating steps of an embodiment of a method for joining a video networking conference is shown.

The embodiment of the invention specifically comprises the following steps:

in the embodiment of the present invention, the request for obtaining the number of the video network may further include a main message number corresponding to the streaming media server, where the main message number is a video network number allocated to the streaming media server by the video network server, and is used to identify the identity of the streaming media server in the video network, so that the request for obtaining the number of the video network may be sent to a specified streaming media server.

In a specific implementation, the user information in the embodiment of the present invention may include an identity number pre-assigned to the user, a device number used by the user, a name set by the user, and the like, which is not limited in this respect.

For example, in this embodiment, a unique user id number may be allocated to each streaming media user, where the user id number is used as a flag for identifying the streaming media user by the conference control platform and the streaming media server. In addition, the user can set a user name by himself for other users participating in the video networking conference to identify the identity of the user.

Step 502, a video networking number in an idle state is searched in a preset video networking number list to be used as a target video networking number.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the mode that the streaming media server searches for a video networking number in an idle state in the preset video networking number list may be random selection, or selection may be performed according to a preset rule, which is not limited by the present invention.

When the streaming media server searches for an idle video networking number in the preset video networking number list in a manner of selecting the video networking number according to a preset rule, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the step 502 may specifically include:

and selecting the video networking number which is in an idle state and has the highest use priority as a target video networking number from a preset video networking number list.

In the embodiment of the invention, the video network numbers with the highest use priority, namely the longest idle time are selected for binding, so that each video network number is fully utilized as much as possible, and the utilization efficiency of the video network numbers is improved.

Step 503, binding the target video networking number with the user information, and returning the target video networking number to the conference control platform.

In the embodiment of the invention, when the streaming media server successfully binds the target video networking number with the user information, the main message number and the target video networking number corresponding to the streaming media server can be directly returned to the conference control platform, and when the streaming media server cannot bind the target video networking number with the user information, a message that the binding of the target video networking number fails and a specific reason of the binding failure can be returned to the conference control platform.
