Service Innovation Technology (Service Innovation Technology)

The unified video platform integrates services and transmission, and is not only automatically connected once whether a single user, a private network user or a network aggregate.

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 may be directly connected to the access switch or may be directly connected to 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.

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

Therefore, the whole video network is a network structure with layered centralized control, and the network controlled by the node server and the metropolitan area server can be in various structures such as tree, star and ring.

The access network part can form a unified video platform (the part in the dotted circle), and a plurality of unified video platforms can form a video network; each unified video platform may be interconnected via metropolitan area and wide area video networking.

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 its calculation method follows 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 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 version prompting method for a service platform according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, and is applied to a server, where the server simultaneously accesses a video network and an IP network, the video network has a service platform and a video network terminal, and the IP network has a client, and specifically, the method may include the following steps:

step 501, in the IP network, if the client logs in a user account, a bidirectional communication channel is established with the client.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the server has a first network card of the IP network, and can communicate with the client through the first network card.

Further, the user inputs information such as a user account and a password in the client and sends the information to the server, the server receives the information such as the user account and the password sent by the client through the first network card, and when the information such as the account and the password is verified successfully, the client is confirmed to log in the user account.

At this time, the server may establish a bidirectional communication channel with the client.

The bidirectional communication channel allows the client to actively send information to the server, and also allows the server to actively send information to the client, that is, the server and the client can push information to each other at any time within a given time range.

Taking WebSocket (full duplex communication protocol) as an example of a bidirectional communication channel, when a client (such as Browser) calls a new WebSocket (url) interface, the client starts a process of establishing a handshake connection with a server with an address url:

1. the Browser establishes connection with the server through three handshakes of a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), if the connection establishment fails, the following process will not be executed, and the Browser will receive an error message notification.

2. After TCP connection is successfully established, the Browser/UA transmits a version number supported by the WebSocket, a word version number of a Protocol, an original address, a host address and other fields to the server through an HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol).

3. After the server receives the handshake request sent by the Browser/UA, if the data packet data and the format are correct, the protocol version numbers of the client and the server are matched, and the like, the server receives the handshake connection and gives out corresponding data reply, and the data packet replied in the same way is transmitted by adopting the HTTP protocol.

4. After the Browser receives the data packet replied by the server, if the content and the format of the data packet have no problem, the Browser indicates that the connection is successful, triggers an open message, and can send data to the server through the send interface at the moment. Otherwise, the handshake connection fails, and the Browser receives the onerror message and knows the reason for the connection failure.

In this process, the server is allowed to interpret a part of the request of handshake in the HTTP manner, and then switches to WebSocket.

In the webscolet protocol, data is transmitted in the form of a sequence of frames.

In consideration of data security, a data frame transmitted from a client to a server is subjected to mask processing, and if the server receives the data frame which is not subjected to mask processing, the connection is actively closed.

The data frame transmitted to the client by the server is not subjected to mask processing, and if the client receives the data frame subjected to mask processing, the connection is actively closed.

For the above case, the party that found the error may send a close frame (status code is 1002, indicating a protocol error) to the other party to close the connection.

Step 502, in the video network, detecting the service platform to generate version change information.

In the embodiment of the invention, the server is provided with a second network card of the video network, and the server can communicate with the service platform through the second network card.

Further, after the client logs in, the server may detect, at a preset time interval (e.g., 2 hours), version change information of the service platform through the second network card.

The version change information may be information generated by a system version change.

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

and a substep S11, sending a version query command to the service platform according to the configured downlink communication link for the service platform in the video network.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the server may generate a version query command according to the video networking protocol V2V, and send the version query command to the service platform through the second network card.

In practical applications, the video network is a network with a centralized control function, and includes a master control server and a lower level network device, where the lower level network device includes a terminal, and one of the core concepts of the video network is to configure a table for a downlink communication link of a current service by notifying a switching device by the master control server, and then transmit a data packet based on the configured table.

Namely, the communication method in the video network includes:

and the master control server configures the downlink communication link of the current service.

And transmitting the data packet of the current service sent by the source terminal to a target terminal (such as a service platform) according to the downlink communication link.

In the embodiment of the present invention, configuring the downlink communication link of the current service includes: and informing the switching equipment related to the downlink communication link of the current service to allocate the table.

Further, transmitting according to the downlink communication link includes: the configured table is consulted, and the switching equipment transmits the received data packet through the corresponding port.

In particular implementations, the services include unicast communication services and multicast communication services. Namely, whether multicast communication or unicast communication, the core concept of the table matching-table can be adopted to realize communication in the video network.

As mentioned above, the video network includes an access network portion, in which the master server is a node server and the lower level network devices include an access switch and a terminal.

For the unicast communication service in the access network, the step of configuring the downlink communication link of the current service by the master server may include the following steps:

and a substep S21, the master control server acquires the downlink communication link information of the current service according to the service request protocol packet initiated by the source terminal, wherein the downlink communication link information comprises the information of the master control server participating in the current service and the downlink communication port of the access switch.

In the substep S22, the main control server sets a downlink port to which a packet of the current service is directed in a packet address table inside the main control server according to the downlink communication port information of the control server; and sending a port configuration command to the corresponding access switch according to the downlink communication port information of the access switch.

In sub-step S23, the access switch sets the downlink port to which the packet of the current service is directed in the packet address table therein according to the port configuration command.

For a multicast communication service (e.g., video conference) in the access network, the step of the master server obtaining downlink information of the current service may include the following sub-steps:

in sub-step S31, the main control server obtains a service request protocol packet initiated by the target terminal and applying for the multicast communication service, where the service request protocol packet includes service type information, service content information, and an access network address of the target terminal.

Wherein, the service content information includes a service number.

And a substep S32, the main control server extracts the access network address of the source terminal in a preset content-address mapping table according to the service number.

In the substep of S33, the main control server obtains the multicast address corresponding to the source terminal and distributes the multicast address to the target terminal; and acquiring the communication link information of the current multicast service according to the service type information and the access network addresses of the source terminal and the target terminal.

And a substep S12, when receiving the version inquiry response returned by the service platform, extracting real-time version information from the version inquiry response.

If the service platform receives the version query command, the version information of the current system can be queried to serve as the real-time version information, a version query response is generated according to the video networking protocol V2V, and the version query response is sent to the server.

And the server receives the version inquiry response through the second network card and extracts the real-time version information from the version inquiry response.

And a substep S13 of comparing the real-time version information with preset reference version information to obtain a version comparison result.

By applying the embodiment of the invention, the server can store the version information of the business system inquired in advance in the database as the reference version information.

Comparing the real-time version information with the reference version information, a version comparison result can be obtained.

Generally, the comparison result may be that the real-time version information is higher than the reference version information, that the real-time version information is equal to the reference version information, that the real-time version information is lower than the reference version information, or the like.

And a substep S14, generating version change information of the service platform according to the version comparison result.

If the version comparison result between the real-time version information and the reference version information is determined, version change information of the service platform can be generated.

In one example, version change information for a business platform version upgrade is generated when the real-time version information is higher than the reference version information.

In another example, version change information for a business platform version rollback is generated when the real-time version information is lower than the reference version information.

Of course, the generation manner of the version change information is only an example, and when the embodiment of the present invention is implemented, other generation manners of the version change information may be set according to actual situations, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present invention. In addition, besides the above-mentioned generation method of the version change information, a person skilled in the art may also adopt other generation methods of the version change information according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this.

And a substep S14 of assigning a value of the real-time version information to the reference version information.

For the currently queried real-time version information, the value of the real-time version information can be given to the reference version information to serve as new reference version information for use in the next comparison.

Step 503, in the IP network, the version change information is sent to the client through the bidirectional communication channel, so as to display version prompt information for the video network terminal according to the version change information.

In a specific implementation, the server can actively send the version change information to the client in the bidirectional communication channel through the second network card, and the client displays the version prompt information aiming at the video networking terminal according to the version change information to prompt the user to perform corresponding operation.

In one embodiment of the invention, in the IP network, the version change information is sent to the client through the bidirectional communication channel, so that version prompt information aiming at the video network terminal is generated for the version change information according to the authority of the user account and is displayed.

In the embodiment of the invention, different users (characterized by user accounts) have different permissions, so that the client can generate and display corresponding version prompt information aiming at the different permissions.

In one example, if the version change information is a service platform version upgrade:

and when the authority of the user account is an operation and maintenance user, the version prompt information prompts that the upgraded version is matched with the video network terminal to be checked or downloaded.

When the authority of the user account is a non-operation and maintenance user, the non-operation and maintenance user does not have the authority to operate, and at the moment, the version prompt information is null.

In another example, if the version change information is a service platform version rollback:

and when the authority of the user account is the operation and maintenance user, the version prompt information is used for prompting to check or download the version which is returned by the video network terminal.

And when the authority of the user account is a non-operation and maintenance user, the version prompt information prompts to check the version returned by the video network terminal.

In the embodiment of the invention, in an IP network, if a client logs in a user account, a server and the client establish a bidirectional communication channel, in a video network, the server detects a service platform to generate version change information, in the IP network, the server sends the version change information to the client through the bidirectional communication channel to display version prompt information aiming at a video network terminal according to the version change information, and because the frequency of the user using the client in the IP network is higher, the server can actively push the version change information of the service platform to the client to prompt the user to carry out corresponding operation, synchronous update can be carried out on the video network terminal in time, the service availability is ensured, and the effectiveness and the stability of the service platform are ensured.
