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

the Destination Address (DA) is composed of 8 bytes (byte), the first byte represents the type of the data packet (e.g. various protocol packets, multicast data packets, unicast data packets, etc.), there are at most 256 possibilities, 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 types of different datagrams, and is 64 bytes if the type of the datagram is a variety of protocol packets, or is 1056 bytes if the type of the datagram is a unicast packet, but 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 a Label of Multi-Protocol Label switching (MPLS), and assuming that there are two connections between a device a and a device B, there are 2 labels for a packet from the device a to the device B, and 2 labels for a 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.

Based on the characteristics of the video network, one of the core concepts of the embodiment of the invention is provided, the video network client side acquires the conference information of the video conference which is being executed according to the preset period following the protocol of the video network, then determines the video network node servers to which the participant terminals belong according to the conference information, acquires the real-time information of the participant terminals from the video network node servers, and sends the real-time information to the internet client side, and the internet client side determines whether the participant terminals have potential safety hazards according to the real-time information.

Referring to fig. 5, a flowchart illustrating steps of an embodiment of a method for managing a video conference according to the present invention is shown, where the method may be applied to an internet and a video network, the internet may include an internet client, and the video network may include a video network client and a video network node server, where the internet client communicates with the video network client and the video network node server, respectively, and the method may specifically include the following steps:

step 501, the video network client acquires meeting information of the video meeting being executed according to a preset period.

In the embodiment of the invention, the video network client can have the function of data acquisition, and a data acquisition center or data acquisition service can be preset in the video network client. The data acquisition center or the data acquisition service in the video network client can acquire the conference information of the video conference being executed according to a preset period. The preset period may be 10 seconds, 1 minute, or 5 minutes, and the like, and the numerical value, the unit, and the like of the preset period are not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the internet client may have a data-aware function, and a data-aware center or a data-aware service may be preset in the internet client. The data-aware center or the data-aware service in the internet client may determine the network address of the client or the server where the web service application is located through a preset configuration file, that is, the configuration file may include the network address of the client or the server where the web service application is located. In practical applications, a data-aware center or a data-aware service in an internet client may call a service interface of a web service application according to a hypertext transfer protocol, and obtain conference information of an executing video conference from a preset video networking database. It can also be understood that, when the client side of the video network acquires the meeting information of the video meeting being executed according to the preset period, the client side of the video network can receive the meeting information of the video meeting being executed from the preset web service application program through the transmission control protocol. The preset web service application program can be located in a client or a server in the internet. In practical application, an internet client may send an acquisition instruction for acquiring conference information to a web service application, where the acquisition instruction may include attribute information such as a number and a name of a video conference.

The video networking database may store conference information of a video conference being executed, or may store conference information of an un-started and/or completed video conference. Whether the video conference is being executed or the video conference which is not started and/or finished, the conference information can be acquired by the video networking conference management server and stored in the video networking database, the embodiment of the invention does not specifically limit the data content and the data type and the like stored in the video networking database, and the embodiment of the invention also does not specifically limit the acquisition mode of the conference information of the video conference and the acquisition object (such as the video networking conference management server) and the like.

In the embodiment of the invention, the conference information of the video conference mainly comprises the serial numbers of all the participating terminals. The number of each participant terminal is used for uniquely determining one participant terminal, namely uniquely determining one video network terminal participating in the video conference. In addition, the conference information of the video conference may further include at least one of a conference name, a conference location, a conference level, a host, a start time, an end time, the number of conference terminals, and the like, and the content, format, and the like of the conference information of the video conference are not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

Step 502, the video network client determines to obtain the video network node server to which each participant terminal belongs according to the number of each participant terminal and the preset corresponding relationship between the number of each participant terminal and the video network node server.

In the embodiment of the present invention, a data acquisition center or a data acquisition service of a video networking client may be preset with a correspondence between a video networking terminal and a video networking node server, where the correspondence may be a correspondence between a serial number of the video networking terminal and a serial number of the video networking node server, a correspondence between a serial number of the video networking terminal and a network address of the video networking node server, and the like. The video network client can determine the serial number or the network address of the video network node server to which each participant terminal belongs according to the serial number and the corresponding relation of each participant terminal. If the client determines that the serial number of the node server of the video network is obtained, the network address of the node server of the video network needs to be further determined. In practical application, the network address of the node server of the video network can be determined by the client of the video network according to the corresponding relation between the serial number of the node server of the video network and the network address.

For example, the video networking client K obtains the number 001 of the participant terminal a and the number 002 of the participant terminal B, the participant terminal a is the video networking terminal a, the participant terminal B is the video networking terminal B, the video networking node server F1 to which the participant terminal a belongs, the video networking node server F2 to which the participant terminal B belongs, and the video networking client K may establish network connection with the video networking node servers F1 and F2 according to a video networking protocol.

Step 503, the video network client side obtains the relevant information of each participating terminal in real time from the determined video network node server, and sends the relevant information to the internet client side.

In the embodiment of the present invention, after determining the node servers of the video networking to which the participating terminals belong, the video networking client may obtain the relevant information of each participating terminal in real time from each node server of the video networking according to a video networking protocol, where the relevant information may be real-time information of the participating terminals, or information of the participating terminals at a certain time interval as a time period.

In the embodiment of the invention, the node servers of the video network can communicate with the video network terminals managed by the node servers of the video network. When the video networking terminal participates in a video conference and serves as a participant terminal, the video networking node server can acquire the relevant information of the participant terminal. In practical application, the video network client can transmit the relevant information of each participant terminal to a webpage service application program according to a transmission control protocol, and the webpage service application program returns the received relevant information to the internet client according to a hypertext transmission protocol.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when the web service application transmits the relevant information to the internet client, the received relevant information may be integrated and converted into a form of a character string, and the character string is transmitted to the internet client, where the character string may be JSON (JSON Object Notation), which is a lightweight data exchange format. The embodiment of the invention does not specifically limit the transmission format and the like adopted when the web service application program transmits the relevant information of each participating terminal.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the related information of each participant terminal may include a role of the participant terminal, a name of the participant terminal, a location of the participant terminal, states of the node server of the video network and the participant terminal to which the participant terminal belongs, and the like, where the state of the participant terminal at least includes one of the following: the online state of the participant terminal, the data packet transmission state of the participant terminal, and the version state of the participant terminal, and the embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit the content of the relevant information of the participant terminal.

In the embodiment of the invention, after receiving the relevant information of each participant terminal, the internet client can display the relevant information of each participant terminal, for example, the internet client can display each participant terminal according to the online state of the participant terminal, namely, the participant terminal in the online state is marked by one color, and the participant terminal in the offline state is marked by another color; the internet client can also display each participant terminal according to the position of the participant terminal, and display the participant terminals located in the same area or the same range by the same symbol.

In the embodiment of the invention, after the internet client receives the relevant information of each participant terminal, whether each participant terminal meets the preset participant condition can be judged according to the relevant information, and specifically, whether each participant terminal meets the preset participant condition can be judged according to the state of the participant terminal. The preset joining condition may be whether the joining terminal is online, whether audio and video data transmitted by the joining terminal is lost, whether the version number of the joining terminal is consistent with the version number in the node server of the video network to which the joining terminal belongs, and the like.
