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 application: 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.

The monitoring management platform is used for uniformly managing and scheduling a plurality of monitoring terminals accessed to the video network. Images of monitoring pictures collected by each monitoring terminal can be transmitted to other display equipment through the video network and displayed, so that real-time video monitoring of a certain position or a certain area is realized.

The collaboration server is a device access gateway that can centralize resources of multiple other devices, such as camera resources, onto the one server.

An HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) Protocol is designed for a Streaming media transmission interaction Protocol of HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), the HLS Protocol supports automatic code rate adaptation, and a Web server provides near-real-time audio and video streams to a communication terminal in the HLS technology. When a Web browser (client) connects to a server and requests a file, the server will process the request and feed the file back to the browser, with the accompanying information telling the browser how to view the file (i.e., the file type). The server communicates information with the client browser using HTTP (hypertext transfer protocol). Currently, in order to deal with the difference of the network states of the clients in the HLS streaming architecture, the HLS server generates streaming media streams with different broadband requirements, so that the clients can adaptively select the streaming media streams.
