Because multimedia communication technologies such as at present widely-used VoIP and soft switch all are based on the IP network realization, and IP network itself adopts not connection-oriented working method, the IP bag of bearing multimedia information is easy to cause multimedia communication not smooth because factors such as link failure go out active.In order to address this problem, the present invention has introduced connection-oriented working method in IP-based multimedia communication, logical medium passage that employing is set up on application layer, connection-oriented is responsible for the transmission multimedia messages specially as the designated lane of the IP bag of bearing multimedia information.And, the situation of above-mentioned logical medium channel transfer multimedia messages is monitored, in case there is link to break down, then adjust the route setting of IP bag immediately, avoid the above-mentioned link that breaks down, guarantee the unimpeded of multimedia communication.
Logical medium passage recited above is not the media channel on the physical significance.It is actually a plurality of connections of setting up in the application layer of IP network, and these connection are mapped to respectively on the particular path of IP layer, thus make each logical medium passage all with the IP layer on particular path form one to one and concern.Transmit in the path that multimedia messages transmits in fact just on the IP layer that is shone upon by this logical medium passage by the logical medium passage.Because above-mentioned mapping relations are in logic, so the process of its foundation and cancellation is easy to realize.
The method of utilizing the logical medium passage to improve the multimedia communication reliability of the present invention realizes by following concrete steps:
1. the IP that determines bearing multimedia information wraps the network path that may pass through.
The network path here can be found by static state appointment or automatic network topology, thus the possible path between definite each media gateway and the bandwidth of every paths.For example among Fig. 1 through the network path of router one, router two and router four with through the network path of router three, router five.Above-mentioned static state is specified or is determined that by the automatic network topology technological means of network path is prior art fully, and for example employed ip route order is exactly to be used for specifying static routing specially in Internet, does not just describe in detail at this.
2. parameters such as network path that may pass through according to multimedia IP bag and corresponding bandwidth are set up the logical medium passage.
The front is mentioned, and the logical medium passage is that a logic of setting up in application layer connects, set up on the process nature of logical medium passage be exactly set up that application layer connects and above-mentioned network path between the process of mapping relations.In setting up the process of mapping relations, consider the influence of network path that IP bag may pass through and the relevant network bandwidth, guarantee that multimedia messages has enough network bandwidths as support when transmitting.
The logical medium passage of setting up comprises following descriptor:
Information source IP address;
Purpose IP address;
Logical medium passage 1{ available bandwidth; Average retardation; IP path description };
…
Logical medium passage n{ available bandwidth; Average retardation; IP path description };
3. be multimedia communication assignment logic media channel, and transmitting multimedia information.
If need to carry out media session between two media gateway, promptly need to transmit multimedia messages, this demand can successively be reflected to the application layer of network, at first the query logic media channel is for information about for application layer, and working load shares technology, selects logical medium channel allocation wherein to give this media session.Application layer passes to the IP layer with the IP path description (being mapping relations) of the logical medium passage of distribution, guarantees that by the IP layer media information in this media session process transmits according to predefined path.
Load balancing above-mentioned is a technological means commonly used in the existing network, has not just explained in detail at this.
It is to be noted, not all media session data is all walked same logical medium passage, working load of the present invention is shared the purpose of technology and with regard to being media session data is reasonably distributed according to the situation of logical medium path, guarantee that each IP bag all is assigned to separately and determine in many logical medium passages to distribute in that passage of oneself, transmit unblockedly.In addition, not exclusively fixing different with the transmission path of IP bag in the existing not connection-oriented IP network, when enforcement is of the present invention, also to use the source routing function that ICP/IP protocol is supported.Use this function, can guarantee that all IP bags of distributing to a certain logical medium passage use identical transmission path to transmit in IP network.This has just embodied the characteristics of introducing connection-oriented communication mode in not connection-oriented IP network of the present invention.
4. the logical medium passage is monitored, and dynamically the logical medium passage is adjusted according to the Network Transmission situation.
As previously mentioned, the main difference of the present invention and prior art is embodied in introduces connection-oriented logical medium passage in not connection-oriented IP network, be responsible for the transmission multimedia messages specially.Because the logical medium passage is connection-oriented, in media information, system can the transmission situation of real time monitoring media information in the logical medium passage, comprises the variation of average retardation and available bandwidth.When network breaks down or during the low layer link change, mean that the pairing logical medium passage of this link can not be used again, at this moment, this logical medium passage can be left out by system in the load balancing process, and promptly session data is no longer distributed to the pairing network path of this logical medium passage; Perhaps, utilize idle network path to regenerate a new logical medium passage again, give this new logical medium passage the session data allocations; Perhaps, redefine the mapping relations of the network path and the logical medium passage of IP layer, promptly regenerate new logical medium channel layout, the session data are distributed according to new logical medium channel layout.No matter take above-mentioned that a kind of measure, can guarantee that link failure can not cause influence of overall importance to whole network service.In addition, above-mentioned modification to the logical medium passage only need get final product in the mapping relations in application-level modifications logical medium Management Of Resources, Accesses ﹠ Network path.This point is very easy to realization, but also can be finished automatically by computer, does not need manual intervention fully.
Fig. 3 has provided a specific embodiment of the present invention, in order to the concrete application of explanation the inventive method.As shown in Figure 3.Set up 3 logical medium passages between media gateway 1 and the media gateway 2:
Logical medium passage 1 is through router one, router two and router four;
