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.
Based on the above-mentioned characteristics of the video network, one of the core concepts of the embodiments of the present invention is presented. With reference to fig. 5 and fig. 8, a video transcoding device scheduling method provided by a first embodiment of the present invention is a method for scheduling a video transcoding device in a video network, where the method is applied in the video network, and includes the following steps:

And scheduling the video transcoding equipment with the lowest current resource occupancy rate to process the video transcoding request every time, so that the resource occupancy rates of the video transcoding equipment 2 can be balanced, the resource occupancy rates of the video transcoding equipment 2 with higher resource occupancy rates can be reduced, the resource occupancy rates of the video transcoding equipment 2 with lower resource occupancy rates can be increased, the resource occupancy rates of the video transcoding equipment 2 can be balanced, the video transcoding equipment 2 can work in the optimal load state, and the video stream transcoding efficiency can be improved.
As shown in fig. 6, in this embodiment, the video transcoding request has a corresponding priority, and the step of scheduling the video transcoding device 2 with the lowest resource occupancy to process the video transcoding request includes:
step D1: receiving a video stream transcoding request with the highest current priority;
step D2: and scheduling the video transcoding device 2 with the lowest current resource occupancy rate to process the video stream transcoding request with the highest current priority.
Thus, while resource occupation of each video transcoding device 2 is balanced to the maximum, priority processing of a video stream transcoding request with a higher priority processing level is also considered.
As shown in fig. 7, in this embodiment, the step of obtaining the video transcoding device information list includes:
step A1: receiving registration requests containing respective identification information sent by each video transcoding device 2;
step A2: and storing the identification information in the registration request into the video transcoding equipment information list.
The registration request may include other information of the video transcoding apparatus 2, such as a hardware version, a software version, and the like, in addition to the identification information of the video transcoding apparatus 2.
