Bandwidth allocation method, device, equipment and storage medium

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of terminal technologies, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, a device, and a storage medium for bandwidth allocation.

Background

With the rapid development of internet technology, more and more applications are developed, and various network access activities such as network video, network shopping, network game, etc. can be performed by installing the applications in the terminal device. The network access activities performed by the application programs occupy network bandwidth resources, and the network bandwidth resources are limited, so that the network bandwidth resources are required to be allocated, i.e. the network rate of running the application programs is controlled, in order to ensure the smoothness of the network access activities performed by the application programs. Therefore, how to control the network rate of running an application is a technical problem worthy of research.

Disclosure of Invention

In a first aspect, the present application provides a bandwidth allocation method, the method comprising: acquiring network flow information of each application program in M application programs running currently; m is an integer greater than or equal to 1; analyzing the network flow information of each application program, and determining N Internet Protocol (IP) addresses corresponding to M application programs; one application of the M applications corresponds to one or more IP addresses; n is an integer greater than or equal to M; responding to the network rate of the target IP address being greater than the target speed limit threshold, carrying out network speed limit processing on the application program corresponding to the target IP address, wherein N IP addresses comprise the target IP address; the target speed limit threshold is the speed limit threshold of the service to which the target IP address belongs; or the target speed limit threshold is the speed limit threshold of the application program corresponding to the target IP address.

Fig. 2 depicts, from a hardware level, an electronic device for use in an embodiment of the present application, and for ease of understanding of the embodiment of the present application, a software structure of the electronic device is described below.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic software structure of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the application.

The software system of the electronic device 100 may employ a layered architecture, an event driven architecture, a microkernel architecture, a microservice architecture, or a cloud architecture. In the embodiment of the application, taking an Android system with a layered architecture as an example, a software structure of the electronic device 100 is illustrated.

As shown in fig. 3, the Android system can be divided into four layers, from top to bottom, an application layer, an application framework layer (framework), a local (native) layer, and a kernel (kernel) layer.

The application layer may include various applications, among others. Such as instant messaging applications, video applications, gaming applications, music applications, and the like.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic flow chart of a bandwidth allocation method according to an embodiment of the present application. The method may be performed by an electronic device, as shown in fig. 4, and may include, but is not limited to, the steps of:

s401, acquiring network flow information of each application program in M application programs running currently.

Wherein the currently running application may be an application, the network traffic information of an application may comprise network traffic information generated by a plurality of services, e.g. the short video application may comprise network traffic information generated by a plurality of different video streams. The currently running application may also be a plurality of applications, for example, the plurality of applications may include a short video application, an instant messaging application, a smart phone application, and the like.

In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may acquire network traffic information of each of M applications currently running, where M may be an integer greater than or equal to 1. The network traffic information is acquired by collecting network traffic generated by application program operation, and is information which is required to be generated when network data transmission is executed. Network traffic information may include, but is not limited to, internet protocol addresses (Internet Protocol Address, IP), local area network addresses (Media Access Control Address, MAC), network protocols, destination ports, real-time traffic, rates, identification information, and the like.

In some embodiments, the electronic device may collect network traffic information for each of the M applications currently running by deploying a network traffic tool. The network flow tool can realize real-time monitoring and analysis of system network flow. Optionally, the network traffic tool may insert a program in the kernel layer to collect network traffic information at the kernel layer, and report the collection result to the user space, so that the overhead of frequent switching between the user space and the kernel space can be avoided, and further, the efficiency of obtaining network traffic information is improved.

For example, referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a process of acquiring network traffic information through a network traffic tool according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 5, the application framework layer may request the network traffic tool 500 to obtain traffic information of an application through a generic NDK (Native Development Kit, local development kit) Application Programming Interface (API); the network flow tool 500 can monitor all processes in the system by loading the target program in the kernel layer, so as to obtain the network flow information of the application program; the network flow tool can also maintain a target program and a mapping file, wherein the mapping file can comprise a mapping relation between the identification information of the application program and the network flow information of the application program; after the network flow tool obtains the network flow information of the application program, the network flow information obtained by statistics can be provided for the application program through the universal NDK api.

In some embodiments, the electronic device may obtain the original network traffic information of each of the M applications currently running, or may obtain the network traffic information after filtering the original network traffic information. Because the network traffic information generated by the running application programs of the electronic device has huge data volume and possibly repeated information, after the original network traffic information of each application program is obtained, the original network traffic information of each application program can be screened, namely, the network traffic information meeting the requirements is screened from the original network traffic information. The method for screening the original network traffic information specifically includes the steps of defining target characteristics meeting requirements in advance; then, carrying out feature recognition on the original network traffic information to obtain a feature recognition result of the original network traffic information; and determining the network flow information meeting the target characteristics from the original network flow information based on the target characteristics and the characteristic identification result. By the method, the overlarge data volume of the network flow information can be avoided, and system resources are saved.

S402, analyzing the network flow information of each application program, and determining N Internet Protocol (IP) addresses corresponding to the M application programs.

In the embodiment of the application, after the electronic device obtains the network flow information of each application program in the M currently running application programs, the electronic device may analyze the network flow information of each application program, so as to determine N IP addresses corresponding to the M application programs, where N may be an integer greater than or equal to M. Wherein one application of the M applications may correspond to one or more IP addresses. That is, the correspondence between the application and the IP address is established in the unit of application, and one application may be run to generate one or more IP addresses.

In some embodiments, the network traffic information of an application program may include a network domain name generated by running the application program, and the IP address corresponding to the application program may be obtained by performing domain name resolution processing on the network domain name corresponding to the application program. The domain name resolution processing may be performed on a network domain name by sending a domain name query request to a domain name system (Domain Name System, DNS) server, where after receiving the query request, the DNS server may query the network domain name according to the network domain name to obtain an IP address corresponding to the network domain name, and then return a query result to the electronic device.

In some embodiments, the network traffic information of each application is parsed to obtain an identification of each application, and the identification of each application may be, for example, a user identifier (User Identification, UID) of the application. The UID of an application may also be referred to as an application identifier or application identification, which is an identification assigned to the application by the system during its installation, and may be used to identify the identity of the application in order to distinguish between different applications. For example, in the Android system, the UID of the third party application may be allocated from 10000 to 19999, whereas the UID of the system application is typically less than 10000. Further, according to the identifier of each application program, the IP address corresponding to each application program can be obtained from the mapping file, and the mapping file can store the correspondence between the identifier of the application program and the IP address. For example, referring to table 1, table 1 shows a storage form of a mapping file.

TABLE 1

As shown in table 1, according to the identifier UID1 of the application program, the IP address corresponding to UID1 may be obtained by querying from the mapping file, where the IP address includes IP1, IP2, and IP3; according to the identification UID2 of the application program, the IP address corresponding to the UID2 can be inquired from the mapping file, wherein the IP address comprises IP4 and IP5.

In some embodiments, the electronic device may obtain, in response to a start instruction of an application m (any application installed by the electronic device), an identifier of the application m and an IP address corresponding to the application m, and store the identifier of the application m and the IP address corresponding to the application m in the mapping file. That is, when the electronic device detects the running instruction for the application program m, the electronic device can start to collect the IP address generated by running the application program m, and store the collected IP address related to the application program m in the mapping file, so that the subsequent IP address can be quickly obtained through inquiry.

S403, responding to the network rate of the target IP address being greater than the target speed limit threshold, and carrying out network speed limit processing on the application program corresponding to the target IP address.

In the embodiment of the application, after the electronic device acquires the N IP addresses corresponding to the M application programs, the network rate of the N IP addresses can be monitored, and the network rate of each IP address is controlled to be within the speed limit threshold corresponding to each IP address. And responding to the network rate of the target IP address in the N IP addresses being greater than the target speed limit threshold, and performing network speed limit processing on the application program corresponding to the target IP address. The network rate of the target IP address is larger than the target speed limit threshold, namely the target IP address occupies bandwidth resources of other IP addresses in the N IP addresses, and normal operation of other application programs can be prevented from being influenced by carrying out network speed limit processing on the application programs corresponding to the target IP address. The target speed limit threshold may be a speed limit threshold of a service to which the target IP address belongs, or may be a speed limit threshold of an application program corresponding to the target IP address. That is, the application may provide a plurality of different services, may have different network speed limit thresholds (i.e., target speed limit thresholds) for different services, or may have different network speed limit thresholds for different applications.

In some embodiments, the electronic device may detect the current network bandwidth and determine the bandwidth requirements of the N IP addresses, and after determining the current network bandwidth and the bandwidth requirements of the N IP addresses, may determine the speed limit threshold of the N IP addresses according to the priority of the N IP addresses if the current network bandwidth is greater than or equal to the bandwidth requirements of the N IP addresses. The priority of the N IP addresses may be determined according to the priority of the application program corresponding to the N IP addresses, or may be determined according to the priority of the service to which the N IP addresses belong. Alternatively, the priority of the application may be related to the display range of the application. For example, full screen displayed applications may be prioritized over small window displayed applications. By way of example, assuming that the currently running applications include an instant messaging application and a short video application, the instant messaging application is displayed full screen and the short video application is displayed in a small window, the instant messaging application is prioritized over the short video application. It will be appreciated that for IP addresses with a high priority, a higher speed limit threshold may be determined, i.e. more bandwidth resources are allocated.

Optionally, for short video application, in the scenario of sliding switching short videos, the priority of the IP address corresponding to each short video may be determined according to the loading sequence of each short video, where the priority of the short video with the front loading sequence is higher than the priority of the short video with the rear loading sequence; in a scenario where a plurality of short video portals are displayed, it may be determined that the priority of the IP address corresponding to the short video of the displayed portal is higher than the priority of the IP address corresponding to the short video of the non-displayed portal. Optionally, for the video call service, it may be determined that the IP address corresponding to the video call service has a higher priority than the IP addresses corresponding to other services, so as to ensure that sufficient bandwidth resources support smooth operation of the video call service.

In some embodiments, in a case where the current network bandwidth is smaller than the bandwidth requirement of the N IP addresses, it may be determined that the speed limit threshold of the last K (K is a positive integer smaller than N) IP addresses with priorities arranged in the order from high to low in the N IP addresses is zero according to the current network bandwidth. For example, assuming that the current network bandwidth is smaller than the bandwidth requirement of 3 IP addresses (IP address 1, IP address 2, and IP address 3), the 3 IP addresses are arranged in order of priority from high to low as IP address 3, IP address 1, IP address 2, the speed limit threshold of IP address 2 may be determined to be zero, or the speed limit thresholds of IP address 1 and IP address 2 may be determined to be zero, specifically, may be determined according to the requirement. By the method, limited bandwidth resources can be flexibly allocated to the IP addresses with high priority, and normal operation of important application programs is ensured.

In some embodiments, the protocol type of the IP address may be different for IP addresses performing different services. For example, for IP addresses executing game services, the protocol type may include hypertext transfer protocol (Hypertext Transfer Protocol, HTTP), transmission control protocol (TCP, transmission Control Protocol), or user datagram protocol (UDP, user Datagram Protocol); for IP addresses performing live video services, the protocol type may include HTTP; the protocol type may include TCP or UDP for the IP address where the download service is performed. Therefore, the service to which the IP address belongs can be judged according to the protocol type of the IP address.

In some embodiments, the electronic device may obtain a service profile, where the service profile may include speed limit thresholds for different service configurations, and the speed limit threshold for the service to which the target IP address belongs may be obtained from the service profile. For example, a first speed limit threshold may be configured for a game service in a service profile; a second speed limiting threshold can be configured for video live services; a third speed limit threshold may be configured for the download traffic. Alternatively, the service profile may also include speed limit thresholds configured for different service scenarios, where a service scenario may be composed of multiple services, and where multiple services may be provided by different applications. For example, a first traffic scenario may consist of traffic 1 and traffic 2, where a fourth speed limit threshold may be configured for traffic 1 and a fifth speed limit threshold may be configured for traffic 2; the second traffic scenario may consist of traffic 2 and traffic 3, in which a sixth speed limit threshold may be configured for traffic 2 and a seventh speed limit threshold may be configured for traffic 3. The fifth speed limit threshold of the service 2 in the first service scenario and the sixth speed limit threshold of the service 2 in the second service scenario may be the same or different, and may be specifically configured according to actual requirements.

For example, assume that a speed limit threshold 1 for voice traffic and a speed limit threshold 2 for game traffic are configured in a traffic profile. If the currently running instant messaging application includes a voice service and a game service, the game service may be, for example, running in a small program mode, where the service to which the IP address 1 corresponding to the instant messaging application belongs is a voice service, and the service to which the IP address 2 corresponding to the instant messaging application belongs is a game service, then if the network rate of the IP address 1 is greater than the speed limit threshold 1, network speed limit processing may be performed on the instant messaging application. Correspondingly, under the condition that the network rate of the IP address 2 is greater than the speed limit threshold 2, the network speed limit processing can be performed on the instant messaging application.

As another example, assume that a speed limit threshold 3 for video call traffic and a speed limit threshold 4 for download traffic are configured in a traffic profile. If the currently running instant messaging application is executing the video call service and the background is executing the downloading service aiming at the shopping application, the speed of the IP address for executing the downloading service can be controlled not to exceed the speed limit threshold of the downloading service, and the downloading speed aiming at the shopping application can be controlled not to exceed the speed limit threshold 4. By the method, the downloading service can be prevented from occupying the bandwidth of the video call service, more bandwidth is reserved for the video call service, and further user experience is improved.

In some embodiments, the electronic device may also obtain speed limit thresholds configured for different applications. For example, speed limit threshold 1 may be configured for application a and speed limit threshold 2 may be configured for application B. In this case, if the network rate of the IP address 1 corresponding to the application program a is greater than the speed limit threshold 1, the network speed limit processing may be performed on the application program a; similarly, if the network rate of the IP address 2 corresponding to the application B is greater than the speed limit threshold 2, the network speed limit processing may be performed on the application B.

In some embodiments, when the network rate of the target IP address is greater than the target speed limit threshold, the electronic device may perform network speed limit processing on the application program corresponding to the target IP address by controlling, according to the network bandwidth required by the application program corresponding to the target IP address, the network rate of the target IP address to be less than or equal to the target speed limit threshold. Specifically, the electronic device may detect the current network bandwidth and obtain the network bandwidth required by the application program corresponding to the target IP address. Under the condition that the current network bandwidth can meet the network bandwidth required by the application program corresponding to the target IP address, the network rate of the target IP address can be controlled to be smaller than or equal to the target speed limit threshold value, so that the bandwidth resource can be released, and other application programs on the electronic equipment can be guaranteed to run normally or smoothly. In this way, the network rate of the application can be carefully controlled by limiting the network rate of individual IP addresses, facilitating more accurate network speed limiting of the application.

In some embodiments, the electronic device may further perform network speed limit processing on an application program corresponding to the target IP address by controlling a network speed of the application program corresponding to the target IP address to be less than or equal to the target speed limit threshold. The network rate of the control application program is less than or equal to the target speed limit threshold, which can be understood as that the network rate of all the IP addresses corresponding to the control application program is less than or equal to the target speed limit threshold. In this way, the network speed limit can be performed on the application program more conveniently.

In summary, step S403 may include the following four embodiments:

in the first mode, the network rate of the target IP address is greater than the speed limit threshold of the service to which the target IP address belongs, and the network rate of the target IP address is controlled to be less than or equal to the speed limit threshold of the service to which the target IP address belongs. For example, assuming that the service to which the IP address 1 of the instant messaging application a belongs is a video call service, if the network rate (e.g. 500 Kb/s) of the IP address 1 is greater than the speed limit threshold (e.g. 400 Kb/s) of the video call service, the network rate of the IP address 1 may be controlled to be less than or equal to the speed limit threshold (400 Kb/s) of the video call service, e.g. controlled to be 350Kb/s of the network rate of the IP address 1.

And in the second mode, the network rate of the target IP address is greater than the speed limit threshold of the service to which the target IP address belongs, and the network rate of the application program corresponding to the target IP address is controlled to be smaller than or equal to the speed limit threshold of the service to which the target IP address belongs. For example, assuming that the IP address corresponding to the music application program B includes an IP address 2 and an IP address 3, where the service to which the IP address 2 belongs is a music playing service, and the service to which the IP address 3 belongs is a music downloading service, if the network rate (e.g. 210 Kb/s) of the IP address 2 is greater than the speed limit threshold (e.g. 200 Kb/s) of the music playing service, both the network rate of the IP address 2 and the network rate of the IP address 3 may be controlled to be less than or equal to the speed limit threshold (200 Kb/s) of the music playing service. The network rate of the IP address 2 and the network rate of the IP address 3 may be different, for example, the network rate of the IP address 2 may be controlled to be 180Kb/s, and the network rate of the IP address 3 may be controlled to be 200Kb/s.

In the third mode, the network rate of the target IP address is greater than the speed limit threshold of the application program corresponding to the target IP address, and the network rate of the target IP address is controlled to be less than or equal to the speed limit threshold of the application program corresponding to the target IP address. Illustratively, assuming that the network rate (e.g., 310 Kb/s) of IP address 4 of shopping application C is greater than the speed limit threshold (e.g., 270 Kb/s) of shopping application C, then the network rate of IP address 4 of shopping application C may be controlled to be less than or equal to the speed limit threshold 270Kb/s of shopping application C, such as to be controlled to the network rate of 270Kb/s of IP address 4.

In the fourth mode, the network rate of the target IP address is greater than the speed limit threshold of the application program corresponding to the target IP address, and the network rate of the application program corresponding to the target IP address is controlled to be less than or equal to the speed limit threshold of the application program corresponding to the target IP address. For example, assume that the IP address corresponding to the map application program D includes an IP address 5 and an IP address 6, the service to which the IP address 5 belongs is a navigation service, and the service to which the IP address 6 belongs is a taxi taking service. If the network rate of IP address 5 (e.g., 170 Kb/s) is greater than the speed limit threshold of map application D (e.g., 150 Kb/s), then both the network rate of IP address 5 and the network rate of IP address 6 may be controlled to be less than or equal to the speed limit threshold of map application D (150 Kb/s). The network rate of the IP address 5 and the network rate of the IP address 6 may be different, for example, the network rate of the IP address 5 may be controlled to 140Kb/s, and the network rate of the IP address 6 may be controlled to 100Kb/s.

In some embodiments, the electronic device may receive a speed limit release instruction, and in response to receiving the speed limit release instruction, may stop performing network speed limit processing on the application corresponding to the target IP address. Optionally, the speed limit release command may be triggered in real time or may be triggered in a timed manner. For example, the speed limit release time may be set, and the speed limit release command may be triggered at the time when the speed limit release time arrives. Alternatively, the speed limit release instruction may be generated by the electronic device according to the current network bandwidth. Under the condition that the electronic equipment detects that the current network bandwidth can meet the network bandwidth requirements of M application programs running currently, a speed limit release instruction can be generated, and the network speed limit processing of the application programs corresponding to the target IP addresses is stopped in response to the generated speed limit release instruction.

By implementing the embodiment of the application, the network rate of the running application program can be controlled more precisely from the angle of the IP address according to the network rate of the IP address generated in the process of running the application program, thereby being beneficial to improving the accuracy of bandwidth allocation.

The implementation flow of the embodiment of the application is described below by taking the implementation of the bandwidth allocation method provided by the embodiment of the application based on an Android system as an example. Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic flow chart of an implementation of a bandwidth allocation method based on an Android system according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 6, processes in the Android system can be classified into three types: application (app) processes, native (native) processes, and kernel (kernel) processes. Wherein an application process may refer to a process created by an application. Native processes may refer to processes created in the Native layer of the Android system of the electronic device, and are used to provide local services or functions of a system library. The kernel-mode created process may be referred to as a kernel process, such as a kernel-driven process.

When an application of an application layer of the electronic device is started, a corresponding application process can be created. With one or more of these processes engaged, corresponding functionality may be implemented. Wherein the application layer service may be started by a bind (bind) service and the application layer service may be closed by an unbind (unbind) service. For an application of the application layer, the electronic device may set its properties, which may be understood as the configuration of the function. By configuring different parameters, the opening and closing of functions can be controlled. For example, in the present application, setting parameter "1" for the network speed limit function may indicate that the network speed limit function is turned on, and setting parameter "0" may indicate that the network speed limit function is turned off. Under the condition that a network speed limiting function is opened, the Android system can load an analysis configuration (rc) file when being started, start a network speed limiting program, and start a network flow statistics program of a kernel layer through an attach method.

The network flow statistics program is called to obtain the network flow information of each application program in the M application programs currently operated by the electronic equipment. By analyzing the network traffic information of each application program, the correspondence between each application program and the IP address generated by running each application program can be counted. The correspondence between each application and the IP address generated by running each application may then be saved in a map file.

Further, the network speed limiting program is called to execute the network speed limiting strategy set by the application layer, N IP addresses corresponding to the M currently running application programs can be obtained by reading the mapping file, network rates of the N IP addresses are further obtained, and the network rates of the N IP addresses are reported. Based on the network rates for the N IP addresses, it may be determined whether an access network speed limit policy is required. And under the condition that the network rate of the target IP address in the N IP addresses is greater than the target speed limit threshold, determining an access network speed limit strategy, namely carrying out network speed limit processing on the application program corresponding to the target IP address.

In addition, the Android system is also provided with an external aidl (Android interface definition language) interface, and network speed limit thresholds of all IP addresses can be configured in real time through the aidl interface, so that network speed limit can be flexibly carried out according to actual requirements. The speed limit release instruction can also be issued through the aidl interface, and the application layer can remove the network speed limit policy in response to the speed limit release instruction. Accordingly, the network speed limit program may cease to execute the network speed limit policy. By the method of deltach, the network speed limiting function, the network speed limiting program and the network traffic counting program can be closed.

By way of example, assuming that the applications currently running on the electronic device include a short video application and a game application, the network speed limit threshold for the short video application configured through the aidl interface is 200Kb/s, the network speed limit threshold for the game application is 150Kb/s, if the network speed of IP address 1 of the game application is greater than 150Kb/s, then a network speed limit policy may be executed to control the network speed of IP address 1 of the game application so as to be able to leave sufficient network bandwidth to support smooth running of the short video application.

In this way, the network speed limit of the IP level can be realized, that is, under the condition of limited network bandwidth, the application can carry out network speed limit processing on the application program according to the network speed of the IP address generated by running the application program, and more bandwidth resources are released. Therefore, the method can realize the fine processing of bandwidth allocation, ensure the smooth operation of the application program, avoid unnecessary bandwidth control and improve the accuracy of bandwidth allocation.
