The node server is connected to an access switch, which may be connected to a plurality of terminals and may be connected to an ethernet network.

The node server is a node which plays a centralized control function in the access network and can control the access switch and the terminal. The node server can be directly connected with the access switch or directly connected with the terminal.

Similarly, devices of the metropolitan network portion may also be classified into 3 types: a metropolitan area server, a node switch and a node server. The metro server is connected to a node switch, which may be connected to a plurality of node servers.

The node server is a node server of the access network part, namely the node server belongs to both the access network part and the metropolitan area network part.

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.

Referring to fig. 5, a flowchart illustrating steps of a transmission monitoring method according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, which may be applied to a video network terminal of a video network, and specifically may include the following steps:

step 501, receiving input file parameters and operation parameters.

As shown in fig. 6, a video network server 610 and a video network terminal 620 are deployed in a video network 600.

In a specific implementation, the video networking terminal 620 may be a set-top box (set top box, STB), commonly referred to as a set-top box or set-top box, which is a device that connects a tv set to an external signal source, and converts the compressed digital signal into tv content for display on the tv set.

Generally, the video network terminals 620 are all connectable to other devices 630, for example, the devices 630 may be at least one camera and at least one microphone for collecting at least one video data and at least one audio data, and the devices 630 may also be televisions for playing the video data and the audio data.

It should be noted that the functions of the video networking terminal are relatively speaking, in a certain service scenario, a certain video networking terminal may collect video data and audio data, and in other service scenarios, the video networking terminal may output the video data and the audio data for playing.

The video network server and the video network terminal can communicate with each other to transmit video data, audio data and the like.

For example, an internet of view server and an internet of view terminal may encapsulate a data packet of video data by the following 2000 specification of an internet of view protocol for transmission:

for another example, the video network server and the video network terminal may encapsulate the data packet of the audio data for transmission through the 2001 specification of the following video network protocol:

in the embodiment of the present invention, an API (Application Programming Interface) Interface may be provided for the outside, a service may be provided for the outside, and a user may input file parameters and operation parameters by calling the API Interface.

The file parameter may refer to a parameter for creating a statistical file, and the operation parameter may refer to a parameter for capturing a packet.

Step 502, creating a statistical file according to the file parameters.

If a file parameter is received, a responsive file may be created according to the file parameter.

In one embodiment of the present invention, step 502 may include the following sub-steps:

and a substep S11 of creating a statistics file in the directory.

And a substep S12 of configuring said data type in said statistics file.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the file parameters include a directory and a data type, and then a statistical file may be created under the directory.

The statistical file may be a table file, such as excel, and a data type may be configured in the statistical file, that is, data under the data type is specified to be recorded.

In particular implementations, the data type may include at least one of:

a source address of the video network, a destination address of the video network, an operation instruction, a type of video network device, a packet type (e.g., 2000, 2001).

Of course, the file parameters are only examples, and when implementing the embodiment of the present invention, other file parameters may be set according to actual situations, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. In addition, besides the above file parameters, those skilled in the art may also use other file parameters according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.

Step 503, configuring the packet capturing component according to the operation parameters.

If the operation parameters are received, the packet capturing component can be configured according to the operation parameters, and the packet capturing component is configured to capture the data packet according to the operation parameters and write the data packet into the statistical file.

By packet-capturing component, it is possible to refer to a component that captures a data packet.

For example, the packet capturing component may be tcpdump (product the traffic on a network), which is a packet capturing tool operating on linux platform and capable of capturing data packets transmitted on the network according to user requirements.

tcpdump may completely intercept the "header" of a packet transmitted in the network to provide analysis. It supports filtering for network layers, protocols, hosts, networks or ports and provides logical statements and, or, not, etc. to remove useless information.

In a specific implementation, the operation parameters include a packet capture object and a data type.

The packet capture object may include a host, a port, and the like, and the host and the port may be set by a user according to a service requirement.

Taking tcpdump as an example, a port (interface) that tcpdump needs to listen to can be specified through an instruction "-i". If not, tcpdump will search the smallest configured port from the system interface list, find the first eligible port, and then end the search.

All packets received and sent by all 210.27.48.1 hosts may be intercepted by:

tcpdump host 210.27.48.1

communications between host 210.27.48.1 and host 210.27.48.2 or 210.27.48.3 may be intercepted by:

tcpdump host 210.27.48.1and\(210.27.48.2or 210.27.48.3\)

telnet packets received or sent by host 210.27.48.1 may be intercepted by the following instructions:

tcpdump tcp port 23and host 210.27.48.1

the native udp 123 port may be monitored 123 as the service port of ntp by:

tcpdump udp port 123

in addition, the data type in the operation parameter and the data type in the file parameter are consistent, and may specifically include at least one of the following:

Of course, the above operation parameters are only examples, and when implementing the embodiment of the present invention, other operation parameters may be set according to practical situations, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. In addition, besides the above-mentioned operating parameters, those skilled in the art may also adopt other operating parameters according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.

And step 504, calling the packet capturing component to capture the video networking data packet and writing the video networking data packet into the statistical file.

After the packet capturing component is configured successfully, the packet capturing component can be called to capture a video networking data packet of the video networking terminal, which is communicated with a video networking server or other equipment, and the content in the video networking data packet is written into a statistical file.

In one embodiment of the invention, step 504 may include the following sub-steps:

and a substep S21 of calling the packet capturing component to capture the video network data packet from the packet capturing object.

And a substep S22 of extracting target data of the data type from the data packet.

And a substep S23, writing the target data into an area corresponding to the data type of the statistical file.

In the embodiment of the invention, the directory and the data type are specified in the statistical file, and the packet capturing component specifies the packet capturing object (such as a host, a port and the like) and the data type, so that the packet capturing component can capture the video network data packet for the packet capturing object (such as the host, the port and the like).

And extracting target data under the data type from the video network data packets, searching the statistical file under the directory, generating a record for each video network data packet, and storing the target data in the record into an area corresponding to the data type in the statistical file.

Referring to fig. 7, a flowchart illustrating steps of another transmission monitoring method according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, which may be applied to a video network terminal of a video network, and specifically may include the following steps:

step 701, receiving input file parameters and operation parameters.

Step 702, creating a statistical file according to the file parameters.

Step 703, judging whether the statistical file is successfully created; if yes, go to step 704, otherwise go to step 702.

In the embodiment of the present invention, after a process/thread is started to create a statistical file, whether the statistical file is successfully created or not can be detected.

If the creation of the statistics file is successful, a command set (operating parameters) of the packet capture component can be initiated to capture packets.

If the creation of the statistical file fails, the statistical file may be re-created, and if the number of times of the failure in creating the statistical file exceeds a preset threshold (e.g., 3 times), the monitoring may be ended.

Step 704, configuring the packet capturing component according to the operation parameters.

Step 705, calling the packet capturing component to capture the video networking data packet, and writing the video networking data packet into the statistical file.

Step 706, judging whether the statistical file exceeds a preset size threshold; if yes, go to step 707, otherwise go to step 705.

And step 707, stopping writing the video networking data packet into the statistical file.

In the embodiment of the invention, a size threshold value can be preset, and whether the size of the statistical file exceeds the size threshold value or not can be judged in the process that the packet capturing component writes the video networking data packet into the statistical file.

If the size threshold is exceeded, the packet capture component can be stopped from running, thereby stopping the writing of data capturing the video network data packets to the statistics file.

If the size threshold is not exceeded, the packet capture component can remain running, continuing to capture the video network packets and write their data to the statistics file.

Step 708, generating a transmission statistical result according to the statistical file.

If a certain amount of data of the video networking data packet is stored in the statistical file, the data of the video networking data packet can be summarized according to a preset standard, and a transmission statistical result is generated.

It should be noted that the transmission statistical result may be a final statistical result, or may be an intermediate statistical result used for generating other statistical results, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

In one embodiment of the present invention, step 708 may include the following sub-steps:

substep S31, calculating a ratio between a preset time period and the first number of the video network packets in the time period as the transmission rate.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first number of the video networking data packets in a certain time period may be counted to obtain the transmission rate, which may be a final statistical result as a transmission statistical result.

In another embodiment of the present invention, step 708 may include the following sub-steps:

and a substep S32 of counting a second number of video network packets having a destination address of the video network as the designated address.

And a substep S33 of counting a third number of packets of the video network having the source address of the video network as the designated address.

And a substep S34 of calculating a difference between the second number and the third number as a transmission matching degree.

In the embodiment of the invention, the video network address of a certain video network device (such as a video network server) can be set as a designated address.

On one hand, the second quantity of the video network data packets with the destination addresses of the video network as the designated addresses is counted, and the quantity of the data packets sent to the video network equipment is obtained.

On the other hand, counting the third quantity of the video network data packets with the source addresses of the video network as the specified addresses, and obtaining the quantity of the data packets receiving the video network equipment.

In video networking, communication is paired, i.e., one party sends instructions (video networking packets) and the other party returns responses (video networking packets), so the number of video networking packets sent and the number of video networking packets received should be equal.

However, the network in the video network may have jitter and the like, which may cause the transmission of the video network data packets to fail, so that the transmission matching degree may be obtained by calculating the difference between the second quantity and the third data, and the network state of the video network is reflected to a certain extent.

The statistical result is used as an intermediate statistical result, and the user can be assisted in analyzing other statistical results such as network faults, stability and the like.
