Description

一种获取媒体内容的方法、 设备及系统 技术领域
本发明涉及通信领域, 特别涉及一种获取媒体内容的方法、 设备及系统。 背景技术
CDN ( Content Delivery Network, 内容分发网络 )是在现有的 IP ( Internet Protocol, 网际协议)传输网络中增加一层新的网络架构, 在 CDN中能够将网 站提供的媒体内容发布到最接近用户的网络"边缘",用户可以从 CDN中就近获 取所需要的媒体内容。
如图 1所示的 CDN网络架构, CDN包括中心存储月良务器、 边缘服务器、 区 域緩存节点和 CDN路由服务器。其中,业务提供商将媒体内容发布在中心存储 服务器中, CDN中的边缘服务器和区域緩存节点存储中心存储服务器中的媒体 内容, CDN路由服务器存储中心存储服务器和区域緩存节点的地址信息以及 CDN拓朴结构。终端可以向边缘服务器请求媒体内容,如果边缘服务器未緩存 终端请求的媒体内容,则边缘服务器从 CDN路由服务器中获取存储终端请求的 媒体内容的存储服务器的地址信息,存储服务器可以为中心存储服务器或就近 边缘服务器的区域緩存节点,并利用获取媒体内容的方法从获取的地址信息对 应的存储服务器中获取终端请求的媒体内容,然后再将获取的媒体内容返回给 终端。
现有技术提供一种获取媒体内容的方法, 具体为: 边缘服务器通过自身与 存储服务器之间的一条连接,发送媒体内容请求给存储服务器,存储服务器接 收到媒体内容请求后,将该媒体内容请求所请求的媒体内容通过该条连接发送 给边缘服务器, 边缘服务器接收该媒体内容。 其中, 需要说明的是: 每个终端 都可以向边缘服务器请求各自需要的媒体内容,所以边缘服务器可能通过同一 条连接发送多个媒体内容请求给同一个存储服务器,但是存储服务器发送和接 收之间需要严格保序,即存储服务器必须按照接收到媒体内容请求的顺序发送 获取到的媒体内容,如此边缘服务器根据接收到媒体内容的顺序确定相对应的 媒体内容请求, 才能将获取到的媒体内容转发给相应的终端。
在实现本发明的过程中, 发明人发现现有技术至少存在以下问题: 由于存储服务器的发送和接收之间需要严格保序,如果前一个媒体内容请 求的数据没有响应后续请求也不会有响应,而实际应用中存储服务器侧对于每 个媒体内容请求获取到数据的顺序和请求到达的顺序并不完全一致,因此即使 先获取到了数据也必须要等待在它之前请求的数据发送完毕后才能发送。而如 果当前的连接出现拥塞, 在该连接上的所有业务都会受到影响。 发明内容
为了减少 CDN网络中传输数据的时延并保障数据正常发送, 本发明提供 了一种获取媒体内容的方法、 设备及系统。 所述技术方案如下:

图 1是现有技术提供的 CDN网络架构示意图;
图 2是本发明实施例 1提供的一种获取媒体内容的方法流程图; 图 3是本发明实施例 2提供的一种获取媒体内容的方法流程图; 图 4是本发明实施例 3提供的一种获取媒体内容的方法流程图; 图 5是本发明实施例 4提供的一种获取媒体内容的方法流程图; 图 6是本发明实施例 5提供的一种媒体内容请求实体的示意图; 图 7是本发明实施例 6提供的一种存储服务器的示意图;
图 8是本发明实施例 7提供的一种获取媒体内容的系统示意图。 具体实施方式
为使本发明的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚, 下面将结合附图对本发明 实施方式作进一步地详细描述。 本发明实施例边缘服务器向区域緩存节点或者中心存储服务器请求媒体 内容时在请求消息中扩展增加流索引,该流索引用来标识边缘服务器当前发起 的媒体内容请求, 可以包含该媒体内容请求所请求的内容信息、 范围信息等, 取值相同的流索引表示边缘服务器针对同一终端用户同一时刻发起的访问请 求所发起的媒体内容请求。区域緩存节点获取到边缘服务器所请求的媒体内容 数据后,在返回给边缘服务器的响应消息中同样增加流索引指示, 其取值与请 求消息中的一致,边缘服务器根据接收到的响应消息中的流索引关联出相应的 媒体内容请求消息, 从而将媒体内容数据发送到相应的终端。
实施例 1
如图 2所示, 本发明实施例提供了一种获取媒体内容的方法, 包括: 步骤 101: 媒体内容请求实体向中心存储器或者区域緩存节点发送媒体内 容请求, 该媒体内容请求携带内容标识和流索引; 流索引: X-Flow-Index = " X-Flow-Index" ":" 1*DIGIT 含义: 取值相同的流索弓 )表示媒体内容请求实体针对同一终端同一时刻发 出的访问请求所发起的媒体内容请求。 本发明实施例中, 将边缘服务器和区域緩存节点等需要向上层节点请求媒 体内容的网元统称为媒体内容请求实体。 步骤 102: 媒体内容请求实体接收响应消息, 该响应消息携带中心存储服 务器或区域緩存节点所获取到的媒体内容,同时,该响应消息中还携带流索引; 本发明实施例中, 将区域緩存节点和中心存储服务器等可以提供媒体内容 的网元统称为存储服务器,其中区域緩存节点即可以作为存储服务器提供媒体 内容, 当其未緩存相关媒体内容时, 也可以作为媒体内容请求实体。 步骤 103: 根据该响应消息携带的流索引, 确定该响应消息相对应的媒体 内容请求;
步骤 104: 媒体内容请求实体根据确定的媒体内容请求, 将该响应消息携 带的媒体内容发送给对应的终端。
在本发明实施例中, 通过扩展流索引来关联请求消息与响应消息, 如此, 存储服务器不需要在同一个连接上按接收媒体内容请求的顺序发送响应消息, 而是当获取到每个媒体内容请求对应的媒体内容时就可以灵活选择相同或者 不同的连接发送响应消息,从而减少传输数据的时延,且即使某条连接发生拥 塞或故障, 可以选择其他的连接发送响应消息, 提升了每个连接上的复用、 并 发效率, 从而整体上提升数据传输的效率。
实施例 2
本发明实施例提供了一种获取媒体内容的方法。终端向边缘服务器请求媒 体内容时,如果边缘服务器中未緩存终端请求的媒体内容, 则边缘服务器利用 本实施例提供的方法从就近自身的区域緩存节点中获取终端请求的媒体内容。 参见图 3, 该方法包括:
步骤 201: 终端向边缘服务器发起访问请求;
其中,当终端需要请求某个媒体内容时,终端发送访问请求给边缘服务器, 该访问请求携带自身请求的媒体内容的内容 ID; 边缘服务器接收终端发送的 访问请求, 根据访问请求携带的内容 ID, 查找内容 ID与媒体内容的对应关系 中是否存在对应的媒体内容,如果不存在, 则边缘服务器中未緩存终端访问请 求的媒体内容, 执行步骤 202, 如果存在, 则直接返回给终端, 操作结束。
其中, 在边缘服务器中緩存有内容 ID ( IDentity, 标识)与媒体内容的对 应关系。
步骤 202: 边缘月良务器获取就近自身的区域緩存节点的地址信息; 具体地, 边缘服务器发送通知给 CDN路由服务器, CDN路由服务器根据 自身存储的 CDN拓朴结构确定就近边缘月良务器的区域緩存节点, 再将该区域 緩存节点的地址信息发送给边缘服务器,边缘服务器接收该区域緩存节点的地 址信息。 步骤 203: 边缘服务器根据区域緩存节点的地址信息, 选择自身与对应的 区域緩存节点之间的连接,通过选择的连接发送媒体内容请求给对应的区域緩 存节点, 其中, 该媒体内容请求携带业务的标识和流索引;
具体地, 边缘服务器分配流索引,如果边缘服务器与该区域緩存节点之间 存在多条连接, 则边缘服务器选择一条连接,如果边缘服务器与该区域緩存节 点之间存在一条连接, 则边缘服务器直接选择该条连接, 然后利用选择的连接 发送媒体内容请求给该区域緩存节点;如果边缘服务器与该区域緩存节点之间 不存在连接, 则边缘服务器建立连接, 并利用建立的连接发送媒体内容请求给 该区域緩存节点。
进一步地,预先设置边缘服务器与区域緩存节点之间的连接数目为至少两 条, 如果边缘服务器检查到自身与区域緩存节点之间的连接数少于预设数目 条, 则边缘服务器建立新连接,使边缘服务器与区域緩存节点之间的连接数目 达到预设的数目条。 如此, 当边缘服务器选择的连接发生拥塞或故障时, 边缘 服务器可以再选择其他的连接来发送媒体内容请求。 其中, 在本实施例中, 连 接可以为 TCP ( Transmission Control Protocol, 传输控制协议)连接。
其中, 网络中的每个终端都可以向边缘服务器发送访问请求,请求需要获 取的媒体内容, 所以边缘服务器可能将多个媒体内容请求发送给区域緩存节 点, 还可以通过同一个连接将多个媒体内容请求发送给区域緩存节点。
进一步地, 边缘服务器还可以先在媒体内容请求中添加优先级, 然后发送 媒体内容请求给区域緩存节点。
步骤 204: 区域緩存节点接收媒体内容请求, 其中, 该媒体内容请求携带 内容 ID和流索引;
步骤 205: 区域緩存节点根据该内容 ID, 获取对应的媒体内容, 将获取的 媒体内容和媒体内容请求携带的流索引添加在响应消息中;
具体地, 区域緩存节点根据该内容 ID, 查找自身存储的内容 ID与媒体内 容的对应关系,如果查找出对应的媒体内容, 则将查找的媒体内容和该媒体内 容请求携带的流索引添加到响应消息中。
进一步地, 区域緩存节点还可以将获取的媒体内容划分成多个数据块, 以 chunk的方式传输多个数据块, 其中, 多个数据块采用多个响应消息承载, 每 个响应消息都携带媒体内容请求所携带的相同的流索引。
CDN 网络支持直播时移业务, 终端用户在观看直播的过程中暂停或者后 退从而进入时移状态,在时移状态用户可以获得像观看普通的点播业务一样的 业务体验。 为了支持时移业务, 需要上层区域緩存节点或者中心存储服务器对 直播节目的内容进行实时录制,这样边缘服务器从区域緩存节点或者中心存储 服务器请求时移内容时, 区域緩存节点或者中心存储服务器并没有完整的文 件,本发明实施例采用 chunked部分传输的方式传输相关的媒体内容到边缘服 务器服务, 即获取到部分媒体内容数据后就开始传输。如果相应的业务是直播 时移业务, 区域緩存节点采用 chunk的方式传输已获取到的媒体内容,后续获 取到的媒体内容也将采用 chunk的方式传输,并在每一个数据块中都携带媒体 内容请求所携带的相同的流索引。
其中, 区域緩存节点中也可能未緩存该内容 ID对应的媒体内容, 如果区 域緩存节点没有查找到该媒体内容,则区域緩存节点可以将媒体内容请求转发 给就近自身的上层区域緩存节点或存储该媒体内容的中心存储服务器,并从上 层区域緩存节点或中心存储服务器中获取该媒体内容。
步骤 206: 区域緩存节点通过自身与边缘服务器之间的连接, 将上述的响 应消息发送给边缘服务器;
具体地,如果边缘服务器与该区域緩存节点之间存在多条连接, 区域緩存 节点计算自身与边缘服务器之间的每个连接的发送时延,选择发送时延最小的 连接发送响应消息给边缘服务器。
如果采用 chunk的方式传输获取到的媒体内容,可以在多条连接上同时传 递多个数据块的响应消息。其中, 区域緩存节点与边缘服务器之间的每条连接 都有各自的发送队列,每条连接只发送位于自身的发送队列中的数据。如果区 域緩存节点需要在某条连接上发送数据,则需要先将该数据緩存在该连接的发 送队列中, 然后再通过该条连接发送緩存在发送队列中的数据。
所以,区域緩存节点根据每条连接的带宽和每条连接的发送队列中未发送 的数据, 计算每条连接的发送时延, 选择发送时延最小的连接, 通过发送时延 最小的连接将响应消息发送给边缘服务器。
进一步地,如果最小的发送时延大于建立新连接的往返时延, 则区域緩存 节点可以建立新连接;
其中, 建立完新连接后, 新连接的发送时延最小, 其值为零, 相应地, 区 域緩存节点通过建立的新连接发送响应消息给边缘服务器。
进一步地,如果媒体内容请求携带优先级, 区域緩存节点获取到媒体内容 请求对应的媒体内容后,根据优先级选择优先级高的媒体内容请求对应的响应 消息发送。
进一步地,如果区域緩存节点接收到多个媒体内容请求, 当区域緩存节点 获取到每个媒体内容请求对应的响应消息时,可以将每个响应消息通过不同的 连接发送给边缘服务器,而不需要从同一个连接上按接收媒体内容请求的顺序 发送每个媒体内容请求对应的响应消息,如此减少数据传输的时延、提高每条 连接的复用与并发的效率。
步骤 207: 边缘服务器接收响应消息, 根据该响应消息携带的流索引关联 该响应消息对应的媒体内容请求;
具体地, 边缘服务器接收响应消息,将该响应消息携带的流索引分别与緩 存的媒体内容请求携带的流索引进行匹配,确定该响应消息对应的媒体内容请 求。
步骤 208: 边缘服务器根据该响应消息对应的媒体内容请求将该响应消息 携带的媒体内容发送给对应的终端。
进一步地, 边缘服务器还可以实时监测每个连接上的数据流量, 然后根据 每个连接上的数据流量以及连接的数目计算出平均数据流量,将每条连接上的 数据流量与平均数据流量做除法运算得到每条连接的比值,删除比值小于预设 阈值的连接。 其中, 比值小于预设阈值的连接的网络传输状况较差, 删除网络 传输状况较差的连接,可以提高连接的复用与并发的效率以及减少维护连接的 数目。
进一步地,边缘服务器如果监测到自身与区域緩存节点之间的每条连接在 预设的时间内都没有数据流量,则边缘服务器删除自身与该区域緩存节点之间 的所有连接。
进一步地, 边缘服务器还可以从该响应消息中提取携带的媒体内容,从该 媒体内容请求中提取内容 ID ,将该提取的内容 ID与提取的媒体内容緩存在自 身的内容 ID与媒体内容的对应关系中。
其中,如果区域緩存节点中也未緩存终端请求的媒体内容, 则区域緩存节 点将失败码与媒体内容请求携带的流索引添加在响应消息中 ,然后再发送给边 缘服务器; 边缘服务器接收该响应消息后, 根据该响应消息中携带失败码, 获 知从区域緩存节点中没有获取到该媒体内容,此时边缘服务器还可以从存储该 媒体内容的中心存储服务器中获取该媒体内容。
在本发明实施例中,边缘月良务器可以通过将响应消息携带的流索引与媒体 内容请求携带的流索引进行匹配, 获知接收的响应消息对应的媒体内容请求, 如此区域緩存节点从一个连接中接收到媒体内容请求,在返回该媒体内容请求 对应的响应消息时, 可以不需要从该连接返回响应消息, 而是选择发送时延最 小的连接将该响应消息返回给边缘服务器,如此可以减少传输数据的时延; 如 果从一个连接上接收到多个媒体内容请求,区域緩存节点不需要在该连接上按 接收媒体内容请求的顺序发送每个媒体内容请求对应的响应消息,从而进一步 地减少了传输数据的时延。 另外,属于同一个媒体内容请求的多个响应消息的 多个 chunk block可以动态地在不同的 TCP连接上并行传输, 因此可以不受单 条 TCP连接拥塞的影响, 提高每条连接的复用与并发的效率。 而且, 边缘服 务器还实时监测每个连接上的数据流量,删除网络传输状况较差的连接, 或者 删除没有数据流量的连接, 可以减少维护连接的数目。
实施例 3
本发明实施例提供了一种获取媒体内容的方法。边缘服务器接收终端发送 的访问请求, 并查找出自身未緩存该访问请求请求的媒体内容, 边缘服务器利 用实施例 提供的方法从就近自身的区域緩存节点中获取该媒体内容,如果没 有获取到该媒体内容,则边缘服务器利用本实施例提供的方法从存储该媒体内 容的中心存储服务器中获取该媒体内容。 参见图 4, 该方法包括:
步骤 301: 边缘服务器获取存放终端请求的媒体内容的中心存储服务器的 地址信息;
具体地, 边缘服务器根据终端请求的内容 ID, 从 CDN路由服务器存储的 内容 ID与地址信息的对应关系中, 查找出对应的地址信息, 其中, 查找的地 址信息为存储该内容 ID对应的媒体内容的中心存储服务器的地址信息。 其中, 业务提供商事先将每个业务的媒体内容发布在中心存储服务器中, 中心存储服务器将自身上存储的每个内容 ID以及自身的地址信息存储在 CDN 路由服务器的内容 ID与地址信息的对应关系中。
步骤 302: 边缘服务器根据中心存储服务器的地址信息, 获取自身与对应 的中心存储服务器之间的连接,通过获取的连接发送媒体内容请求给对应的中 心存储服务器; 其中, 该媒体内容请求携带内容 ID和流索引;
具体地, 边缘服务器发送媒体内容请求的具体过程与实施例 2的步骤 203 中边缘服务器发送媒体内容请求的过程相同, 在此再赘述。
进一步地,预先设置边缘服务器与中心存储服务器之间的连接数目为至少 两条,如果边缘服务器检查到自身与中心存储服务器之间的连接数少于预设数 目条, 则边缘服务器建立新连接,使边缘服务器与中心存储服务器之间的连接 数目达到预设的数目条。 如此, 当边缘服务器获取的连接发生拥塞或故障时, 边缘服务器可以再获取其他的连接来发送媒体内容请求。
进一步地, 边缘服务器还可以先在媒体内容请求中添加优先级, 然后再发 送媒体内容请求给中心存储服务器。
步骤 303: 中心存储服务器接收媒体内容请求, 其中, 该媒体内容请求携 带内容 ID和流索引;
步骤 304: 中心存储服务器根据该内容 ID, 获取对应的媒体内容, 将获取 的媒体内容和接收的媒体内容请求携带的流索引添加在响应消息中;
具体地, 中心存储服务器根据该内容 ID, 从自身存储的内容 ID与媒体内 容的对应关系中, 查找出对应的媒体内容,将查找的媒体内容和接收的媒体内 容请求携带的流索引添加到响应消息中。
进一步地, 中心存储服务器还可以将获取的媒体内容划分成多个数据块, 以 chunk的方式传输多个数据块, 其中, 多个数据块采用多个响应消息承载, 每个响应消息都携带媒体内容请求所携带的相同的流索引。如果相应的业务是 直播时移业务, 中心存储服务器采用 chunk的方式传输已获取到的媒体内容, 后续获取到的媒体内容也将采用 chunk的方式传输,并在发送的每一个数据块 中都携带媒体内容请求所携带的相同的流索引。
步骤 305: 中心存储服务器通过自身与边缘服务器之间的连接, 将该响应 消息发送给边缘服务器;
具体地,中心存储服务器计算自身与边缘服务器之间的每个连接的发送时 延, 通过发送时延最小的连接发送该响应消息给边缘服务器。 如果采用 chunk 的方式传输获取到的媒体内容,可以在多条连接上同时传递多个数据块的响应 消息。
进一步地,如果最小的发送时延大于建立新连接的往返时延, 则中心存储 服务器可以建立新连接; 并通过建立的新连接发送响应消息给边缘服务器。
进一步地,如果媒体内容请求携带优先级, 中心存储服务器获取到媒体内 容请求对应的媒体内容后,根据优先级选择优先级高的媒体内容请求对应的响 应消息发送。
步骤 306和 307:分别与实施例 2的步骤 207和 208相同,在此不再赞述。 进一步地,边缘服务器还可以实时监测自身与中心存储服务器之间的每个 连接上的数据流量,计算每条连接上的数据流量与平均数据流量的比值,删除 比值小于预设阈值的连接。
进一步地,边缘服务器如果监测到自身与中心存储服务器之间的每条连接 在预设的时间内都没有数据流量,则边缘服务器删除自身与中心存储服务器之 间的所有连接。
在本发明实施例中,边缘月良务器可以通过将响应消息携带的流索引与媒体 内容请求携带的流索引进行匹配, 获知接收的响应消息对应的媒体内容请求, 如此中心存储服务器从一个连接中接收到媒体内容请求,在返回该媒体内容请 求对应的响应消息时, 可以不需要从该连接返回响应消息, 而是选择发送时延 最小的连接将该响应消息返回给边缘服务器, 如此可以减少传输数据的时延; 如果从一个连接上接收到多个媒体内容请求,中心存储服务器不需要在该连接 上按接收媒体内容请求的顺序发送每个媒体内容请求对应的响应消息,从而进 一步地减少了传输数据的时延。 另夕卜,属于同一个媒体内容请求的多个响应消 息的多个 chunk block可以动态地在不同的连接上并行传输, 因此可以不受单 条连接拥塞的影响, 提高每条连接的复用与并发的效率。 而且, 边缘服务器还 实时监测每个连接上的数据流量,删除网络传输状况较差的连接, 或者删除没 有数据流量的连接, 可以减少维护连接的数目。 实施例 4

具体地, 区域緩存节点接收响应消息,将该响应消息携带的流索引分别与 媒体内容请求中携带的流索引进行匹配, 匹配出相同的媒体内容请求, 匹配出 的媒体内容请求为该响应消息对应的媒体内容请求。
步骤 409: 区域緩存节点获取关联的媒体内容请求对应的流索引, 将该响 应消息中的流索引替换为获取的流索引,将该响应消息转发给关联的媒体内容 请求对应的节点。
具体地, 区域緩存节点根据该响应消息对应的媒体内容请求,从流索引与 媒体内容请求的对应关系中查找对应的流索引,将该响应消息携带的流索引替 换为查找的流索引,再根据该响应消息对应的媒体内容请求将该响应消息转发 给对应的节点。
进一步地, 区域緩存节点从该响应消息中提取携带的媒体内容,从匹配出 的媒体内容请求中提取内容 ID,将该提取的内容 ID与提取的媒体内容緩存在 自身的内容 ID与媒体内容的对应关系中。
进一步地,区域緩存节点还可以实时监测自身与中心存储服务器之间的每 个连接上的数据流量,计算每条连接上的数据流量与平均数据流量的比值,删 除比值小于预设阈值的连接。
进一步地,区域緩存节点如果监测到自身与中心存储服务器之间的每条连 接在预设的时间内都没有数据流量,则边缘服务器删除自身与中心存储服务器 之间的所有连接。
其中, 区域緩存节点接收 CDN网络中的节点发送的媒体内容请求, 如果 自身未緩存在该媒体内容请求所请求的媒体内容时,则该区域緩存节点也可以 从就近于自身的上层区域緩存节点中获取该媒体内容请求所请求的媒体内容。 该区域緩存节点从就近于自身的上层区域緩存节点中获取该媒体内容请求所 请求的媒体内容的过程与本实施例提供的该区域緩存节点从中心存储服务器 中获取该媒体内容请求所请求的媒体内容的过程相同, 在此不再详细说明。
在本发明实施例中,区域緩存节点可以通过将响应消息携带的流索引与媒 体内容请求携带的流索引进行匹配, 获知接收的响应消息对应的媒体内容请 求,如此中心存储服务器从一个连接中接收到媒体内容请求,在返回该媒体内 容请求对应的响应消息时, 可以不需要从该连接返回响应消息, 而是选择发送 时延最小的连接将该响应消息返回给区域緩存节点,如此可以减少传输数据的 时延; 如果从一个连接上接收到多个媒体内容请求, 中心存储服务器不需要在 该连接上按接收媒体内容请求的顺序发送每个媒体内容请求对应的响应消息, 从而进一步地减少了传输数据的时延。 另夕卜,属于同一个媒体内容请求的多个 响应消息的多个 chunk block可以动态地在不同的连接上并行传输, 因此可以 不受单条连接拥塞的影响, 提高每条连接的复用与并发的效率。 而且, 区域緩 存节点还实时监测每个连接上的数据流量,删除网络传输状况较差的连接, 或 者删除没有数据流量的连接, 可以减少维护连接的数目。
