Detailed Description

In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in further detail below.

The following introduces to the video network from the network architecture, video networking equipment and communication protocols:

1. network architecture

The video network is formed by connecting various video devices according to a specific rule.

As shown in fig. 1, the overall network structure of the video network is formed by interconnecting a plurality of autonomous clouds. Autonomous clouds exhibit a distinct hierarchy when interconnected. Starting from the uppermost autonomous cloud, each autonomous cloud may be interconnected with a plurality of next-level autonomous clouds, and the next-level autonomous clouds may be further interconnected with the next-level autonomous clouds. All the autonomous clouds are connected layer by layer in this way to form a complete video network. Obviously, this hierarchy is a standard tree structure. Each autonomous cloud is a node in the tree, and the whole video network is a tree formed by the nodes of the autonomous clouds.

1.1, autonomous cloud

The autonomous cloud is a basic substructure in the network structure of the video network and is also a minimum structural unit for enabling the video network to normally operate. That is, one autonomous cloud can independently realize all functions of the video network in the autonomous cloud under the condition of correct configuration. Therefore, when the autonomous cloud cannot be connected with the upper and lower autonomous clouds due to communication faults, the video networking service can still be realized in the autonomous cloud. This is also the origin of the autonomous cloud name (autonomous operation). When the autonomous clouds can normally communicate with the autonomous clouds on the upper and lower layers, the autonomous clouds form a larger-range video network, and the video network service crossing the autonomous clouds can be realized.

Fig. 2 shows an internal network structure of an autonomous cloud and a network structure when connecting with upper and lower autonomous clouds.

As shown in fig. 2, the autonomous cloud mainly includes an autonomous server, a micro cloud server, a master micro cloud, a slave micro cloud, a set-top box, a streaming media gateway, a storage gateway, and a media synthesizer.

The autonomous server is the management core of the autonomous cloud. The realized functions mainly comprise the management of equipment in the autonomous cloud, the realization of video networking service logic inside the autonomous cloud and among the autonomous clouds, the communication with a management network of the video networking so as to realize higher-level management and the like.

The micro cloud server is the switching core of the autonomous cloud. In most cases, communication data sent out by devices in the video network need to be forwarded through the micro cloud server to reach the final destination.

The master and slave cloudlets are collectively referred to as a cloudlet. They are not devices, but rather are network structures formed by interconnecting devices. There is a close relationship between the micro cloud and the micro cloud server. The specific information is described later.

The set-top box, the streaming media gateway, the storage gateway and the media synthesizer are devices which realize various specific functions in the video network. They are the actual participants or servers of various video networking services.

1.2, cloudiness

The micro-cloud is formed by connecting the view-connected devices, and is a smaller network structure than the autonomous cloud. The micro-clouds include two types, a master micro-cloud and a slave micro-cloud.

1.2.1, carrying Ethernet

The current networking communication architecture is built on top of ethernet, i.e. all networking devices need to access an ethernet via an ethernet interface to communicate with each other. A complete cloudlet should logically include an ethernet carrying the actual network communications in addition to the devices. The main micro cloud and the slave micro cloud in the schematic diagram of the internal network structure of the autonomous cloud represent Ethernet corresponding to the micro cloud.

According to the actual situation of the carrier ethernet, after the device is connected to the clout, various topological structures can be formed, such as a full connection shape, a star shape, a tree shape, and the like. The topology may affect the communication process between the devices.

1.2.2 device Access

The all-in-one equipment except the micro cloud server can only be accessed into one micro cloud no matter the all-in-one equipment has several Ethernet interfaces. That is, when a device has multiple ethernet interfaces, the interfaces will access the same clouding at the same time.

For the micro cloud server, since it has two ethernet interfaces, it can access two micro clouds simultaneously, and the two micro clouds must be different micro clouds. These two interfaces, one is called the downstream interface or local interface (port 0) and one is called the upstream interface or cascade interface (port 1).

1.2.3, micro-cloud interconnection

Because the micro cloud server can be simultaneously accessed into two different micro clouds, the micro clouds can be connected with each other through the micro cloud server. The following rules need to be met during connection:

1. the slave micro-clouds in the autonomous cloud cannot be connected with each other;

2. when a master micro cloud and a slave micro cloud in the autonomous cloud are connected, an uplink interface of a micro cloud server is accessed into the master micro cloud, and a downlink interface is accessed into the slave micro cloud;

3. the main micro cloud can be connected with the slave micro cloud in the upper autonomous cloud, an uplink interface of the micro cloud server is connected with the slave micro cloud, and a downlink interface of the micro cloud server is connected with the main micro cloud;

4. the master micro cloud can be connected with the slave micro cloud in the upper autonomous cloud only;

5. the slave micro cloud can be connected with the master micro cloud in the lower autonomous cloud, an uplink interface of the micro cloud server is connected with the slave micro cloud, and a downlink interface of the micro cloud server is connected with the master micro cloud;

6. the slave micro-cloud can be connected with the master micro-cloud in the lower-layer autonomous clouds;

it is readily seen that the micro-clouds when connected according to this rule also present a distinct hierarchical structure. Starting from the master cloudlet of the topmost autonomous cloud, each cloudlet can be connected with a plurality of cloudlets of the next layer, and the cloudlets of the next layer are connected with the cloudlets of the next layer until the slave cloudlet of the bottommost autonomous cloud. I.e. these micro clouds also form a standard tree structure.

At present, the hierarchical structure of the autonomous cloud has at most 4 layers, and the micro cloud level in each autonomous cloud is 2 layers, so that the hierarchical structure of the micro cloud in the whole video network has at most 8 layers.

1.2.4, Main cloudiness

Only one main micro cloud exists in the autonomous cloud, and the autonomous server necessarily belongs to the main micro cloud. The main micro cloud generally does not include common devices such as a set top box and the like except for the autonomous server and the micro cloud server. The main purpose of the main clouding is to exchange data.

1.2.5 from cloudiness

There may be a plurality of slave cloudlets in the autonomous cloud. When the main purpose of the slave cloudlet is to allow a user to access and use a service of the video network, the slave cloudlet usually only includes a common device such as a set-top box except a cloudlet server accessed by a downlink interface. When the main purpose of the slave clouding is to make the lower layer autonomous cloud access to the higher layer autonomous cloud, the slave clouding usually only includes the micro cloud servers accessed by the uplink interface (they also belong to the master clouding of the lower layer autonomous cloud) in addition to the micro cloud servers accessed by the downlink interface.

1.3 managing networks

The management network is independent of all autonomous clouds. The method can establish connection with the autonomous servers in each autonomous cloud, and the whole video network is indirectly managed through the autonomous servers.

2. Video connection equipment

Various devices accessing the video network are referred to as video devices for short. As mentioned above, the current internet of view mainly includes an autonomous server, a micro cloud server, a set top box, a streaming media gateway, a storage gateway, a media synthesizer, and other devices of the internet of view.

2.1 autonomous Server

The autonomous server is the management core of the autonomous cloud. It has two interfaces, one is visual interface and the other is management interface.

The autonomous server communicates with the video connection equipment through the video connection interface, manages the equipment in the autonomous cloud and realizes the business logic of the video network.

The autonomous server communicates with the management network through the management interface, receives and executes commands from the management network, and achieves higher-level management.

2.2 micro cloud Server

The micro cloud server is the switching core of the autonomous cloud. The method can not only realize the forwarding of data in the same micro cloud, but also realize the forwarding of data among different micro clouds, and can also realize the forwarding of data among autonomous clouds.

Since all the clouds form a standard tree structure, theoretically, any two devices in the video network can communicate with each other. Data can be sequentially forwarded among the micro clouds through the micro cloud server, and finally the destination is reached.

2.3 set-top box

A set-top box is an access device. The video network system can realize a human-computer interaction interface of the video network, and realize various video network services by carrying out operations such as acquisition, encoding, decoding, playback and the like on video and audio media data.

2.4 streaming media gateway

The stream media gateway is a kind of access device. It can communicate with a variety of external devices such as cell phones, tablets, desktops, notebooks, webcams, etc. By implementing functions such as management, control, protocol conversion, data conversion, resource allocation, and the like, various external devices can be seamlessly accessed into the video network. The streaming media gateway supports a plurality of external devices to access the video network simultaneously.

2.5 storage gateway

A storage gateway is a storage device. It may establish contact with storage devices external to the video network, such as NAS, SAN, etc. Through the storage gateway, the video network equipment can directly carry out read-write operation on the external equipment, and storage and extraction of various information are realized. In particular, for media data, the storage gateway may implement recording and playback functions for media files. The storage gateway supports simultaneous processing of multiple virtual channels.

2.6 media compositor

A media compositor is a data processing device. It is responsible for implementing various processing related to video and audio media files or media streams. Such as multiplexing and demultiplexing of media streams (TSMUX, TSDEMUX), secondary codec addition and synthesis of video and audio (AMUX, VMUX), etc. The media compositor supports multiple virtual channels to process simultaneously.

3. Communication protocol

Video networking is a completely new network that is different from the internet. Besides a unique network structure, the system also defines a set of communication protocol system different from an IP protocol family, which is called as an internet of view protocol. The set of protocol architecture emulates the management of a telecommunications network in three planes: control plane, data plane, and management plane. With this flat partitioning, the video network becomes a manageable network system.

The protocol architecture of the video networking is as follows:

protocols involved in the three major planes include Ethernet MAC layer protocols, TCP/UDP/IP protocols, video networking switching protocols, connection protocols, control protocols, data protocols, and the like. The Ethernet MAC layer protocol and the TCP/UDP/IP protocol are standard protocols, and the video network exchange protocol, the connection protocol, the control protocol and the data protocol are proprietary protocols of the video network.

The primary purpose of the connection protocol, control protocol, and data protocol is to encapsulate various types of protocol payload to facilitate subsequent forwarding and processing.

The main purpose of the video network exchange protocol, TCP/UDP/IP protocol is to realize the transmission and forwarding of the protocol load through the address information in the protocol.

Since the communication architecture of the current networking is built on top of ethernet, the three major planes all use the ethernet MAC layer protocol as the lowest layer in the protocol stack. The MAC layer protocol itself can only implement communication in a local area network, and communication in the entire network can be implemented only by combining with the upper layer protocol.

3.1 control plane

The control plane is a point-to-point communication between the devices that are viewing the same. The transmitted signals are mainly the signaling between the devices of the video stream, such as device management signaling, configuration management signaling, service control signaling, etc.

The control plane uses the video networking exchange protocol to realize the forwarding of the signaling above the MAC layer, and uses the connection protocol and the control protocol to package the signaling.

3.2, data plane

The data plane is the point-to-multipoint communication between the devices that are in view. The data transmitted mainly is data between the video devices, such as real-time video and audio data, file transmission data, program uploading and downloading data, and the like.

The data plane uses the video network exchange protocol to realize the data forwarding above the MAC layer, and uses the data protocol to package the data.

3.3 management of noodles

The management plane is a point-to-point communication between the management network and the devices (autonomic servers) that are connected in the view. The transmitted signals are mainly the signals for managing and controlling the devices and services in the video network by the management network, such as system management signals, device management signals, configuration management commands, service management control signals, device status monitoring signals, and the like.

Since the management nodes in the management network are typically in an IP network, communication with the autonomous servers is also accomplished using IP protocols. I.e. the management plane uses the TCP/UDP/IP protocol above the MAC layer to enable the forwarding of the signalling.

Since signaling is transmitted in the management plane and the control plane, and functions of some signaling implemented in the two planes are also consistent, the management plane also uses a control protocol for encapsulating the signaling.

3.4 video networking exchange protocol

An internet of view switching protocol is used in the communication of the control plane and the data plane for forwarding signaling and data between the internet of view devices.

There are 3 different address types defined in the video networking switching protocol: a connection address, a unicast address, and a multicast address. Different address types determine the forwarding logic of the signaling or data. The micro cloud server can realize correct forwarding according to the address information and the address information in the Ethernet MAC layer.

3.4.1 connection Address

The connection address is a special address, and is generally only used in the process of accessing the video networking by the video networking equipment.

3.4.2, unicast Address

The unicast address corresponds to an interface of the connected device. After the video networking equipment accesses the video networking, each interface can obtain a unicast address which is unique in the whole network range. And the micro cloud server may forward any unicast addresses in turn to the correct destination. Any two interfaces can theoretically communicate with each other.

3.4.3 multicast Address

The multicast addresses are used for distinguishing user data among devices, and one multicast address corresponds to one data stream. Since the data plane of the video network supports point-to-multipoint communication, one data stream can only come from the same data sender, but can be sent to a plurality of data receivers simultaneously. In connection with the network structure of the video network, it can be found that the propagation path of such a single data stream may form a tree. A multicast address actually corresponds to a tree-like data propagation path, which we call a multicast link.

Due to the fact that the network structure hierarchy of the video networking is large, when the actual network scale is large, the total number of the existing multicast links at the same time may be very large, and therefore the addressing space of the micro cloud server is too large to achieve. So in practice multicast links are not uniquely located using a network-wide unique multicast address, but using a multicast address that is unique within an autonomous cloud. That is, when a multicast link crosses multiple autonomous clouds, a unique multicast address in one autonomous cloud needs to be used to locate the link in each passing autonomous cloud. When the micro cloud server forwards the data across the autonomous clouds, the original multicast address is replaced by the multicast address in the next autonomous cloud.

3.5 connection protocol

The connection protocol is used to encapsulate connection signaling and can only be used in the control plane.

The connection protocol is forwarded through the video networking exchange protocol, and the connection addresses are used for positioning the two communication parties during forwarding.

Connection signaling is a special type of signaling. The devices typically communicate using connection signaling only during the course of accessing the video network.

3.6 control protocol

The control protocol is used to encapsulate control signaling and may be used in the control plane and the management plane.

When the control protocol is used in the control plane, the control protocol is forwarded through the video networking exchange protocol, and when the control protocol is forwarded, the unicast address is used for positioning two communication parties.

When the control protocol is used in the management plane, the control protocol is forwarded through a TCP/UDP/IP protocol, and when the control protocol is forwarded, an IP address and a TCP/UDP port are used for positioning two communication parties.

The signaling other than the connection signaling is control signaling. In the control plane, the eye-connected devices can communicate using control signaling only after accessing the eye-connected network.

3.7 data protocol

The data protocol is used to encapsulate user data and can only be used in the control plane.

The data protocol is forwarded through the video networking exchange protocol, and a multicast address is used for positioning a multicast path during forwarding.

The video networking device can only transmit user data after accessing the video networking.

Based on the characteristics of the video network, one of the core concepts of the embodiment of the invention is provided, the upgrade package of the terminal is uploaded to the storage gateway platform, the network management platform generates upgrade configuration information after acquiring upgrade version information from the storage gateway platform and sends the upgrade configuration information to the terminal, the terminal inquires a live broadcast channel number of the upgrade package from the storage gateway platform and sends a live broadcast request to the autonomous server according to the live broadcast channel number, and the autonomous server controls the storage gateway platform to carry out live broadcast according to the live broadcast request and sends the upgrade package to the terminal.
