Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the present invention is further illustrated.
As Fig. 2, a kind of digital TV video frequency VOD system, comprise the video server that is used to broadcast video, be used for writing down program request solicited message and allocation of downlink with the CMTS of data modem to transmit at coaxial cable, link to each other with CMTS and to separate the Cable Modem and the interactive digital set-top box of data being carried out modulation, after interactive digital set-top box users end sends the video request program request by Cable Modem, transmit order request information by CMTS, and video data watched by the user side set-top box to Cable Modem demodulation by the CMTS downlink transmission, between CMTS and video server, also be connected with strategic server and bandwidth on-demand management server in turn, strategic server is used to judge whether current network allows to increase new user's access and priority and judge, the bandwidth on-demand management server is converted into strategic server and the discernible PCMM standard agreement of CMTS with the customer flow requirement request, and will create the conversation request result and be back to video server.
Native system is on existing VOD system basis, newly-increased strategic server and the bandwidth on-demand management server of being added with, by the bandwidth on-demand management server different agreement request is converted into strategic server and the discernible instruction of CMTS, by strategic server according to the request type and the network resource status of CMTS, decision provides service to which user, which user or which application can obtain the bandwidth priority and when can obtain policing actions such as bandwidth priority, simultaneously can decide whether follow-up safeguard such as dilatation of network according to the CMTS resource situation, this system topology figure compares with currently used scheme, network congestion appears in the time of can avoiding a plurality of user data traffics transmission downwards simultaneously that the rating peak period produced when too much because of number of users, the present invention is by the Intelligence Selection of strategic server, effectively the congested problem of CMTS that solves is moved system stability reliably.
