CDN returns the index file information of the source service node 21 sub-content of buffer memory, sub-content in the process of the source of returning operation, thus when other clients 10 send request for identical content, need not carry out back source operation and directly return source service node 21 by content from CDN and send to client 10, matchmaker provides file can be transferred to client 10 faster.
In the present invention, content supplier is without the need to realizing the CND node of the injection network operator of content by complicated interactive interfacing, only need content supplier will return source request address and be supplied to Virtual network operator CDN node by interface, the CDN node of Virtual network operator carries out back source operation from crossing this time source address, obtains content be transmitted to client again from the source service node of content supplier.Main purpose due to this programme solves in old CDN node, smoothly can increasing new CDN fringe node (being built by other CDN equipment vendors) and solve the mode of new CDN fringe node by Hui Yuan directly to CDN source last time of content service provider simultaneously, not needing the CDN equipment to having built to adjust.The present invention helps Virtual network operator to introduce many CDN softwares and equipment supplier, improve the distribution efficiency of content between system between content supplier and Virtual network operator simultaneously, reduce the risk of network operator system transformation, reduce the degree of coupling of system and the complexity of docking between content supplier and Virtual network operator simultaneously, shorten the docking cycle, ensure that the Quick thread of content, complete the transmission that matchmaker provides file better, the content requirements of user can be met better.
In the present invention, it is comprise newly-increased center service node and edge service node that CDN returns source service node 21, possesses back source service function.Old CDN node cannot support the Hui Yuan of HLS, owing to there is multiple index file and the section of a large amount of contents in HLS, old CDN cannot well not support do technological transformation, and because realize back source function more complicated on old center service node, transformation difficulty has a big risk, and will affect existing service.The present invention provides back source to serve by newly-increased center service node.This newly-increased center service node not user oriented provides order program service, and it mainly provides data and the source of returning service to edge service node.And edge service node contains original CDN edge service node and the CDN edge service node newly-increased to node dilatation.
In general, old and new users is different grouping, different groupings is by different CDN node services, user old is in the present invention assigned to existing edge C DN node, the user of new increment is assigned to newly-increased edge C DN node, GSLB (Global Server Load Balance, the GSLB) module schedules of content distributing network 20 can be dispatched according to subsidiary user profile on the http address of request.
Being directly be dispatched on original CDN edge service node for the request from old user, is be dispatched on newly-increased CDN edge service node for the request Added User.General suggestion is that user directly accesses newly-increased CDN edge service node.In the access entrance link of the index file of the sub-content providing network 20 business side to generate in content service, contain content identification and user profile and user login information, according to these information, the GSLB module of content distributing network 20 can determine that user be dispatched on original CDN edge service node or newly-increased CDN edge service node.In addition, because edge service node storage total amount is less, delete so content can be done to eliminate, memory access speed here, but the amount stored can be less, and Centroid belongs to central store, can retain all contents, belong to and store greatly, but the access speed stored is general, can not directly for user provide service, but he can avoid repeatedly the problem of Hui Yuan to content and service provider.
In the present invention, content distributing network 20 is when receiving the content requests of index file solicited message and the content identification carrying sub-content, usually first this content requests is dispensed to edge service node, if edge service node does not preserve content, then edge service node obtains content from newly-increased center service node, if newly-increased center service node does not also store content, then this newly-increased center service node provides back source to serve.For existing edge C DN node, because content have employed traditional injection mode, so the problem of not hitting content can not be there is, so for existing edge C DN node, be to arrive newly-increased Centroid Hui Yuan, only have newly-increased fringe node just when content is not hit to newly-increased Centroid request Hui Yuan.
Fig. 2 is the system architecture that CDN of the present invention returns a kind of embodiment of system of source service.As shown in Figure 2, this framework comprises the content provider network 30 of content supplier, the content distributing network 20 of Internet service provider and Set Top Box STB 40.The content provider network 30 of this content supplier comprises: content management entity 34, source service node 33 and electric program menu service entities 31.The content distributing network 20 of Internet service provider comprises: matchmaker provides platform 22, dissemination system 23, GSLB (Global Server Load Balance, GSLB) dispatching patcher 24, original matchmaker provides service node 25, newly-built matchmaker provides service node 26.
Matchmaker is provided file and injects content distributing network 20 by content provider network 30, when content distributing network 20 receives Set Top Box STB 40 streaming media service request, if content distributing network 20 this matchmaker of buffer memory provides file, then provide service node 25 from original matchmaker and matchmaker provided file send to Set Top Box STB 40; If this matchmaker of the non-buffer memory of content distributing network 20 provides file, then provide service node content identification by matchmaker to return interface and inquire about back source address to content provider network 30, providing service node 26 by newly-built matchmaker provides back source to serve to obtain matchmaker from source service node 33 and provides file and return to Set Top Box STB 40.Wherein, content identification returns interface is that CDI information that the platform content of announcement of Virtual network operator is corresponding is to content service provider; Return source address query interface be the platform of Virtual network operator go query contents in the system of content service provider side return source address, for follow-up pull media file and M3U8 file service.So both are different, be the submodule mutual with external system being under the jurisdiction of Content Management System on the whole.

Step S310, the original CDN node of Virtual network operator checks whether the secondary M3U8 file of corresponding content has done buffer memory.Be enter step S311, otherwise enter step S312.
Step S311, the original CDN node of Virtual network operator returns secondary M3U8 file.
Step S312, the original CDN node of Virtual network operator obtains secondary M3U8 file to the newly-built CDN node place of Virtual network operator.
Step S313, the newly-built CDN node of Virtual network operator checks whether the secondary M3U8 file of corresponding content has done buffer memory.Be enter step S314, otherwise enter step S315.
Step S314, the newly-built CDN node of Virtual network operator returns secondary M3U8 file.
Step S315, CDI (content identification of the Virtual network operator side) information in the newly-built CDN node analysis request of Virtual network operator.
Step S316, the newly-built CDN node of Virtual network operator calls time source address of the CDI Service acquisition content of content supplier.
Step S317, time source address of the CDI Service returned content of content supplier.
Step S318, the newly-built CDN node of Virtual network operator obtains secondary M3U8 file to the M3U8Service place of content supplier.
Step S319, the secondary M3U8 file that the M3U8Service returned content of content supplier is corresponding.
Step S320, Virtual network operator newly-built CDN node buffer memory secondary M3U8 file.
Step S321, the newly-built CDN node of Virtual network operator returns secondary M3U8 file to the original CDN node of Virtual network operator.
Step S322, Virtual network operator original CDN node buffer memory secondary M3U8 file.
Step S323, the original CDN node of Virtual network operator returns secondary M3U8 file to terminal player.
Final Virtual network operator province node server address after step S324, terminal player record GSLB 302 redirect.It is the Edge Server nearest apart from terminal that this final Virtual network operator economizes node.
Step S325, terminal player resolves secondary M3U8 file, obtains TS sheet relative address.Because the suffix of existing streaming media video file section is " .ts ", adopting TS sheet to represent the section of this streaming media video file herein, is also foregoing sub-content.
Step S326, the broadcast address of terminal generating video file TS.This broadcast address=the S23 walks the address+TS sheet relative address obtained.
Step S327, terminal player is cut into slices to Virtual network operator newly-built CDN node request TS.
Step S328, whether the newly-built CDN node of Virtual network operator checks TS section buffer memory, if non-buffer memory, enter step S329, buffer memory then enters step S336.
Step S329, the section of the newly-built CDN node of Virtual network operator non-buffer memory is then to acquisition request TS section in the newly-built CDN node of Virtual network operator.
Step S330, the newly-built CDN node inspection section of Virtual network operator whether buffer memory.If non-buffer memory, enters step S330, if buffer memory, enter step S333.
Step S331, non-buffer memory is then cut into slices to the request on the service node of source of returning of content supplier.
Step S332, the source service node that returns of content supplier returns TS section.
Step S333, Virtual network operator newly-built CDN node buffer memory TS cut into slices.
Step S334, the newly-built CDN node of Virtual network operator returns TS section to the original CDN node of Virtual network operator.
Step S335, Virtual network operator original CDN node buffer memory TS cut into slices.
Step S336, the original CDN node of Virtual network operator returns TS section to terminal player.
Step S337, terminal player plays TS section.Cut into slices because files in stream media exists multiple TS simultaneously, therefore need, to the process circulated between execution step S226 to step S337 to each TS sheet relative address of resolving in secondary M3U8 literary composition, until travel through complete, to complete the broadcasting of whole files in stream media.
