Embodiment
Below in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in the embodiment of the present invention, be clearly and completely described the technical scheme in the embodiment of the present invention, obviously, described embodiment is only the present invention's part embodiment, instead of whole embodiments.Based on the embodiment in the present invention, those of ordinary skill in the art, not making the every other embodiment obtained under creative work prerequisite, belong to the scope of protection of the invention.
Refer to Fig. 1, be the schematic flow sheet of a kind of video content distribution scheduling method that the embodiment of the present invention provides, the method can comprise:
Step S101: the status data of receiver, video content distribution data and Edge Server.
Wherein, the status data of Edge Server can comprise: Edge Server receives the number of times of video content request, the number of times responding video content access request, the time of response video content access request, the throughput of unit interval, the code check etc. of the video of broadcast.
Step S102: the status data determination QoS parameter of foundation video content data and Edge Server.
Wherein, QoS parameter can comprise: the continuity parameter of the availability parameters of video content, the response parameter of video request, video playback and video playing quality parameter.
Concrete, the availability of video content, refers to that user normally can access video content that is legal and that authorized.If user normally can not access content that is legal and that authorized, so just there is problem in the availability of video content.Under normal circumstances, generally not performing in VCDN system the mandate of video content, therefore, is all legal by the video content access request after route.Whether like this, in VCDN system, just can focus on Edge Server to the tolerance of the availability of video content can all video content access request of totally linearization.In the present embodiment, the number of times that the availability parameters of video content can respond video content access request with Edge Server within a period of time is measured with the ratio of the number of times receiving video content access request, is designated as QoS_A.
Concrete, the response of video request, refers to the time of Edge Server response video content access request.The time of Edge Server response video content access request, both comprised the time of authentication, also comprised the time of Request routing and plug-flow, even also may have the time obtaining key descrambling video flowing.Because the processing time of Request routing and plug-flow is in VCDN system scope, therefore, in the present embodiment, the processing time of Request routing and plug-flow is only considered.In a kind of possible implementation, when routing server receives video content access request for it stamps initial time stamp, stamp deadline can be stamped again after Edge Server response video content access request.Suppose that receiving video content access request to time of Edge Server response video content access request from routing server is request-access time, then with the mean value of all request-access times in a period of time as the response parameter of the video request of VCDN system, QoS_R can be designated as.
Concrete, the continuity of video playback, refers to whether client exists the situation play and interrupt in the process of receiver, video content.The most direct mode of continuity of tolerance video playback is the number of times causing video playback to suspend or cushion not in client statistical unit time internal cause reception data.Consider that above-mentioned metric form has compulsory requirement to client, also can increase the difficulty of collection of statistical data simultaneously, in the present embodiment, the throughput of monitoring Edge Server plug-flow and the code check of corresponding video content is adopted indirectly to add up broadcasting interruption times, namely, if the throughput that (such as 1 second or 10 seconds) in the unit interval occurs is less than the situation of code check, so just assert it is there occurs interruption, with the mean value of the interruption times of all video content access request in a period of time as the continuity parameter of video playback, QoS_C can be designated as.
Video playing quality, can assess with the code check paying video.The audio content quality of high code check is just high under normal circumstances.But for different terminal equipment, the meaning of video quality is different.Such as, for the mobile terminal of the small screen, the code check of about 1Mbps just can reach very good video quality, and for the TV of large-screen, the code check of more than 6Mbps just may reach good video quality.For the ease of assessment, can by video playing quality divided rank, such as, super clear, high definition, SD, smoothness, and same grade is for different terminal equipment standards difference.In the present embodiment, using the percentage of each grade in Preset Time as video playing quality parameter, QoS_Q is designated as.
Step S103: determine operation cost parameter.
Wherein, operation cost parameter comprises system acquisition cost parameter Cost_P, operation maintenance cost parameter Cost_M, bandwidth cost parameter Cost_B and third party's cost of serving parameter Cost_O.
Concrete, purchase cost mainly comprises server cost and network equipment cost.Operation maintenance cost comprises human cost and machine room cost, and automaticity is higher, system is more healthy and stronger, and human cost is lower, and machine room cost, then with the framework of VCDN system with configure relevant, is mainly reflected in space cost and power cost.Third party's cost of serving is the cost of some services of third party's trustship.
Step S104: the mapping relations being set up service quality and operation cost based on system resource by QoS parameter and operation cost parameter.
Concrete, because service quality is relevant with system resource, and system resource is relevant with operation cost, therefore, QoS parameter can be associated with system resource, by system resource and operation cost parameter association, and then by system resource by QoS parameter and operation cost parameter association, set up the mapping relations of service quality and operation cost.
Wherein, system resource can comprise: the concurrent processing ability of server and the capacity of bandwidth, the storage capacity of server, the handling capacity etc. of server.
Service quality is relevant with system resource to be embodied in, and the availability of video content depends on the concurrent processing ability of server and the capacity of bandwidth, and the concurrent processing ability of server is stronger and the capacity of bandwidth is more sufficient, and the availability of video content is higher.The response of video content depends on that in fact the distribution situation of video content, the distribution of video content reflect the requirement to server stores ability, such as server stores capacity etc.The continuity of video content depends on the handling capacity of server, and handling capacity is actually a kind of integration capability, is jointly to be determined by the distribution situation of content, server concurrent capability and bandwidth capacity.Video content quality depends on the handling capacity of server equally.
System resource is relevant with operation cost to be embodied in, and the concurrent processing ability of server determines the purchase cost of system, and bandwidth capacity determines bandwidth cost, and storage capacity determines system acquisition cost.And (such as cloud service, without the need to purchasing equipment, without the need to O&M, even without the need to renting bandwidth, is all that these system resources are accomplished fluently bag and together provided by cloud service provider) that third party's cost of serving is mainly determined jointly by these three kinds of system resources.Operation maintenance cost is more special, and can be divided into two parts, a part directly depends on purchase cost, and substantially linear with purchase cost, and another part is then manual maintenance cost, is a constant m substantially.Therefore, operation maintenance cost can be expressed as Cost_M=p × Cost_P+m.
Based on above-mentioned analysis, the mapping relations of service quality and operation cost can be set up, by service quality mapping to operation cost:
QC1:N×QoS_A→a1×Cost_P+a2×Cost_B+a3×Cost_O
QC2:N×QoS_R→r1×Cost_P+Cost_M+r2×Cost_O
=(r1+p)×Cost_P+r3×Cost_O+m
QC3:N×QoS_C→c1×Cost_P+Cost_M+c2×Cost_B+c3×Cost_O
=(c1+p)×Cost_P+c2×Cost_B+c3×Cost_O+m
QC4:N×QoS_Q→q1×Cost_P+Cost_M+q2×Cost_B+q3×Cost_O
=(q1+p)×Cost_P+q2×Cost_B+q3×Cost_O+m
Wherein, represent can the number of request of concurrent services for N.P and m can be determined by the O&M empirical data of history completely, can be considered as constant.Under stable operation mode, each coefficient of QC1 to QC4 can not change substantially.
Each coefficient of QC1 to QC4 calculates by following steps:
(1) under a basic System's composition and configuration, the value of each QoS parameter is monitored.
(2) video content request is increased, in the scope that power system capacity can be born, along with the Extension of service quality of userbase can not decline, until arrive critical point service quality flex point can occur, the record service quality value at flex point place and the system cost value of each side.
(3) drop into a small amount of cost upgrade-system, guarantee service quality and go back up to initial level, then proceed to step (2), until collect enough data (at least 3 group data).
(4) data of collecting are substituted into QC1 to QC4, calculate linear equation and draw each coefficient.
It should be noted that, the maximum service capacity (N × QoS_Q) of resource As soon as possible Promising Policy as how saved most can being analyzed by formula above and computational process, be referred to as base cost and service relationship between quality.
It should be noted that, the effect of QC1 to QC4 is mainly reflected in: in QC1 to QC4 relational expression, the item that coefficient is larger, illustrate that less cost drops into the lifting that just can bring obvious service ability, therefore, service provider face userbase expand, service quality decline problem time, can consider first by resource input to which part cost in.The rational proportion that the cost that base cost and service relationship between quality illustrate different aspect drops into is how many, significant to reality operation.Quick discovery cost drops into the aspect be wasted, or needs supplementary aspect.The optimization of guidance content distribution scheduling.
Step S105: according to the distribution scheduling strategy of the mapping relations determination video content of the marketing strategy, service quality and operation cost, wherein, distribution scheduling strategy is used to indicate which service node which video content is distributed to, and replaces which video content.
Refer to Fig. 2, for in the video content distribution scheduling method that the embodiment of the present invention provides, mapping relations according to the marketing strategy, service quality and operation cost determine the schematic flow sheet of a kind of implementation of the distribution scheduling strategy of video content to be distributed, can comprise:
Can step S201: the destination service node determining video content to be pushed and correspondence video content to be pushed from the marketing strategy, meet according to destination service node the distribution scheduling strategy that video content the to be pushed requirement to cost determines to treat pushing video content.
Further, can meet according to destination service node and determine to be specially until the distribution scheduling strategy of pushing video content wait the requirement of the video content pushed to cost: when destination service node can meet wait the requirement of the video content pushed to cost, determine that the distribution scheduling strategy of video content to be pushed is to destination service node by video distribution to be pushed; When destination service node can not meet wait the requirement of the video content pushed to cost, find out the video content needing most and be replaced, determine that the distribution scheduling strategy of video content to be pushed is replace with video content to be pushed to need most the video content be replaced.
Step S202: by QoS parameter, and the mapping relations of service quality and operation cost assess the service quality of video content.
When carrying out video content distribution scheduling, it is considered that the distribution scheduling of video content is on the impact of service quality and operation cost.The distribution scheduling of video content can be conceptualized as tlv triple (C new, Node, C old), i.e. video content C newbe distributed on service node Node, and replace video content C old.If video content C old=0, so just mean without the need to replacement it is only increase video content.What video content distribution directly affected is server stores capacity, thus meeting influential system purchase cost Cost_P or third party cost of serving Cost_O; Then for video content C on the impact of the service quality of service node Node newservice quality lifting and for video content C oldthe decline of service quality.
Be understandable that, in actual applications, if the memory capacity of service node still has residue or old video content to be replaced, so can't increase any cost, if the degree that the old video content be replaced is concerned is very low, so also any impact can not be produced on overall quality of service.Therefore, when determining video content distribution scheduling strategy, need these factors also to take into account.
In the present embodiment, represent the overall quality of service relevant to the distribution of all video contents with QoS_Content, represent the stand-alone service quality relevant to the distribution of content C with QoS_Content_C, there is following relation therebetween:
QoS_Content=QoS_Content_C1+QoS_Content_C2+…+QoS_Content_Cn=α1×QoS_Content+α2×QoS_Content+…+αn×QoS_Content (1)
Wherein, factor alpha represents the influence coefficient of a certain content, its value between zero and one, all α's and be 1.If a certain video content is completely not watching, so its influence coefficient is exactly 0; If this video content is by extensive program request, so its influence coefficient is just close to 1.Therefore, be exactly total for the number of request of a certain video content and the ratio of number of request in computational methods statistics a period of time of α.
Overall quality of service is represented: QoS_Total=N × (a × QoS_A, r × QoS_R, c × QoS_C with QoS_Total, q × QoS_Q), namely overall quality of service is a four-tuple, and a, r, c, q wherein represent the coefficient of each component, the quantity of N and concurrent processing request.For different systems, component coefficient is a set of constant, can be obtained by Measurement and Computation linear equation (being similar to the calculating to QC1 to QC4).Because the present embodiment does not pay close attention to the absolute value of service quality, therefore, a, r, c, q can be set to 1.
The distribution of video content, on the impact of QoS_Total, is mainly QoS_R and QoS_C component.Therefore, QoS_Content=N × (r ' × QoS_R, c ' × QoS_C) can be defined, the same, r ' and c ' is set to 1, so just can assesses the service quality of video content by the service quality that reality can be monitored.Through type (1) can navigate to the stand-alone service quality of single video content, i.e. QoS_Content_Ci=α i × N × (r ' × QoS_R, c ' × QoS_C).Further, just can be assessed the service quality of video content by operation cost by QC2 and QC3.
Step S203: combine the distribution scheduling strategy treating pushing video content, by the distribution scheduling strategy of the service quality determination video content of the video content of assessment.
After determining the distribution scheduling strategy of video content, return the flow process of video content distribution scheduling method:
Step S106: the distribution scheduling strategy of video content is sent to source server, carries out distribution scheduling based on the distribution scheduling strategy of video content to video content to make source server.
