实施例四:
本发明实施例是对实施例一所述的融合设备、 实施例二所述的融合系 统以及实施例三所述的融合方法实现 IPTV业务承载的集中阐述, 具体涉及 如下内容:
如图 4所示, 为本发明实施例中融合设备的系统组网图。 从系统上看融 合设备可分布式部署, 但需要有一个中心管理系统实施统一的管理和调度, 实施统一的内容管理、 业务监控、 网络管理、 DNS的解析以及资源的调度 和负载均衡等。
融合设备, 融合了 CDN功能和网络功能, 采用 CDN部件为作为内容分 发节点, 为用户提供内容分发服务; 采用网络部件为用户提供网络接入和 承载服务。 其中, CDN部件和 CDN中心管理系统建立管理通道和业务通道, 采用管理通道实现网络的日常维护管理, 设备的监控等; 采用业务通道实 现内容的下发, 业务信息的交互等。
从部署上看, CDN部件可以和网络上的核心路由器, 业务路由器 (BRAS/SR), 交换机等设备进行融合。 由于 BRAS/SR是 IPTV用户的业务控 制点, 拥有用户的网络状态信息, 所以本发明中优选地将 CDN设备和 BRAS/SR设备融合, 从而实现 CDN用户状态和网络用户状态的协同, 通过 用户状态的协同可以实现用户的应用内容和网络质量的双重保障, 从而提 高用户体验。
从组网上看,融合设备的 CDN部件可等同 CDN节点看待,可与外置 CDN 设备联合组网,可在同层次进行联动,形成集群; 也可组成多级架构的 CDN 网络, 满足不同场景的部署和业务需求。
CDN中心管理系统采用集中部署的方式, 与 DNS服务器, 资源调度和 负载均衡系统(GSLB )统一部署, 实现对本区域 CDN和网络融合设备中的 CDN部件以及外置 CDN节点的管理和维护, 业务适配, 资源的调度等; 可 以作为独立的系统部署, 也可以和融合设备的网管系统进行融合, 作为网 管系统的组成部分, 与网管系统统一部署。
如图 5所示, 为融合设备的大体内部结构图。 在本发明实施例中, 融合 设备融合了 CDN的内容分发节点和网络设备,采用松耦合的方式进行融合, CDN部件采用独立的 CDN业务处理板型态, 网络部件也采用独立的网络业 务处理板型态; 从而大大降低融合的复杂度, 同时也提高了系统的扩展性 和灵活度。 可根据具体的业务需要扩充网络部件或 CDN部件。
融合设备的 CDN部件为用户提供应用内容分发服务, 在提供服务的同 时为用户维持有相应的内容状态机, 记录用户内容服务的状态, 便于实现 基于用户的精细化运营。 CDN部件可针对用户实施内容加速和保障策略。
融合设备的网络部件为用户提供网络接入和承载服务, 在提供服务的 同时为用户维持有相应的网络状态机, 记录用户的网络服务状态, 便于实 现基于用户的精细化运营。 网络部件可针对用户实施网络加速和保障策略。 本发明实施例中, 为实现 CDN部件和网络部件的协同, 增加 CDN部件 和网络部件之间的内部信令交互接口; 交互的信息包括: 网络部件向 CDN 部件上报用户地址池, CDN部件向网络部件申请用户网络加速及接收执行 反馈信息, 用户的状态查询及反馈等; 状态信息的协同和服务策略的调整 等, 能更好地保障用户体验。
如图 6所示, 为本发明实施例中 IPTV用户的调度和定位策略的部署流 程。 由于在本发明实施例中, 将 IPTV用户的网络层连接和应用层链接均定 位在同一台融合设备上, 由融合设备的网络部件为用户提供网络服务, 由 融合设备的 CDN部件为用户提供内容分发服务, 从而可以通过内部接口实 现 CDN部件和网络部件的联动, 更好保障 IPTV用户的业务体验, 更灵活地 进行调整。 因而需要一定的策略对用户进行调度和定位。 本发明实施例中, 实现对 IPTV业务系统实现对融合设备的调度和定位方式具体包括:
步骤 101、 由融合设备的网络部件维护本设备下的 IPTV用户的地址池; 网络部件通过与 CDN部件的内部接口, 通告 IPTV用户地址池信息;
步骤 102、 CDN部件成功接收到 IPTV用户地址池信息, 向网络部件发送 接收成功消息; 如 CDN部件接收失败, 则向网络部件发送接收失败消息, 网络部件将重新发送; CDN部件成功接收到本设备的 IPTV用户地址池信息 后, 结合自身对外提供服务的 CDN节点的对外服务地址信息, 生成本融合 设备 IPTV用户地址池与 CDN服务节点的对应关系记录;
步骤 103、 CDN部件向 CDN中心管理系统上报本融合设备的 IPTV用户 地址池和 CDN服务节点的对应关系记录信息;
步骤 104、 CDN中心管理系统成功接收后, 向融合设备的 CDN部件发送 接收成功消息; 如接收失败则发送接收失败消息, 融合设备的 CDN部件将 重新发送; 步骤 105、 C DN中心管理系统统一管理和维护本网络中各融合设备的 IPTV用户地址池和 CDN服务节点的对应关系数据库; 并与 IPTV业务系统进 行同步;
步骤 106、信息同步成功, IPTV业务系统向 CDN中心管理系统发送同步 成功消息; 如同步失败, 则需进行重新同步;
CDN中心管理系统和 IPTV业务系统之间的信息同步, 可以分批量同步 和实时同步; 批量同步一般是系统初启, 系统切换等情况下, 统一进行同 步; 实时同步一般是在某台融合设备的 IPTV用户地址池变更, CDN服务节 点变更情况下的实时更新同步部分记录信息。
在 IPTV系统完成信息同步后, 就具备了根据 IPTV用户的地址对用户进 行调度和定位的能力, 可以在 IPTV用户的业务鉴权时, 根据用户的 IP地址, 对用户进行调度和定位, 将用户定位到与其网络连接同在一台融合设备上 的 CDN月良务节点 (即 CDN部件);
如图 7所示, 为本发明实施例中, IPTV用户业务策略和网络策略的预设 的处理流程。 由于在本系统中, 可为用户提供不同的业务, 比如: 超高清, 高清, 标清; 不同的业务对内容分发和网络的带宽、 质量都有不同的要求; 因而需要有不同的业务策略和网络策略进行保障, 需要部署相应的业务策 略和网络策略; 而本系统采用 CDN部件对用户的业务访问进行判断, 应用 对应的策略的方式, 因而需要预部署相应的业务策略和网络策略;
IPTV业务系统根据自身提供的业务种类, 业务类型, 制定相应的业务 策略模板, 在此, 假设有三种业务策略模板, 分别为: 超高清, 高清, 标 清, 则有:
步骤 201, IPTV业务系统制定了相应的业务策略模板后, 向 CDN中心管 理系统通告业务策略模板信息;
步骤 202, CDN中心管理系统成功接收到业务策略模板信息后, 向 IPTV 业务系统发送成功接收消息; 并根据所收到的业务策略模板信息, 结合自 身 CDN服务和实施部署的要求, 生成 CDN系统自己的对应超高清, 高清, 标清的业务策略模板; 也就是说, CDN中心管理系统接收到 IPTV业务系统 定制的业务策略模板后, 会根据业务策略需求, 生成自身可运行的业务策 略模板, 即, 根据 IPTV业务系统定制的业务策略模板, 进行本地参数设置、 以及设置实现各业务策略的方法等。 当然, 这种转换属于本领域技术人员 所孰知的技术, 所以在此不做赘述。
步骤 203, CDN中心管理系统向网络设备管理系统发送消息, 请求网络 设备管理系统针对所述业务策略模板生成对应的网络策略模板;
步骤 204, 网络设备管理系统根据请求, 生成相应的网络策略模板,如: 超高清, 保证带宽 20M; 高清, 保证带宽 8M; 标清, 保证带宽 2M; 生成相 应的网络策略模板后, 向各融合设备的网络部件进行下发;
步骤 205、 融合设备的网络部件成功接收网络策略模板后, 向网络设备 管理系统发送成功接收消息;
步骤 206, 网络设备管理系统成功向各融合设备下发网络策略模板后, 向 CDN中心管理系统发送完成消息;
步骤 207, CDN中心管理系统收到网络策略模板下发完成消息后, 向各 融合设备的 CDN部件下发业务策略模板;
步骤 208, 各融合设备的 CDN部件成功接收业务策略模板后, 向 CDN中 心管理系统发送成功接收消息;
至此, 在融合设备的网络部件上部署了相应的网络策略模板, 在 CDN 部件上部署了相应的业务策略模板。
基于上述的 IPTV用户的调度和定位策略的部署、 以及 IPTV用户业务策 略和网络策略的预设, 下面详细说明融合设备的 IPTV业务实现处理流程, 如图 8所示, 该处理流程中, 涉及的系统主要包括: STB, EPG, IPTV业务 系统, 融合设备, 上级 /中心 CDN节点, 具体业务实现步骤如下:
步骤 301, 用户需要点播 IPTV业务, STB向 EPG系统发送用户的点播节 目请求;
步骤 302, EPG向 IPTV业务系统发送用户的点播请求;
步骤 303, IPTV业务系统对用户进行业务鉴权, 查询用户是否订购了该 业务,是否有权限观看该节目,若有权观看,则利用 IPTV用户地址池和 CDN 服务节点的对应关系记录信息,获取为 STB服务的融合设备, 并将该融合设 备信息通过鉴权成功响应消息或者单独的消息发送至 EPG; 若无权观看,反 馈鉴权失败响应消息;
步骤 304, EPG系统收到 IPTV业务系统发来的用户鉴权反馈信息, 如用 户鉴权失败, 则转向业务订购流程; 如果用户鉴权成功, 则基于 IPTV业务 系统发送的可服务的融合设备信息, 向 STB反馈业务服务节点信息和 URL 信息, 此处服务节点为融合设备;
步骤 305, STB根据获得的服务节点信息和 URL信息, 向融合设备发送 媒体服务请求;
步骤 306, 融合设备的 CDN部件接收到用户的访问请求, 根据自身的判 断, 判断是否有足够的 CDN能力为用户提供内容分发服务; 如果判断结果 为是, 则接纳用户请求; 如果判断结果为否, 则进行出错处理; 在出错时 记录相应的信息, 如: CDN资源不足, 用户访问的应用类型等; 进行相应 的统计, 汇总, 便于为后续的扩容提供依据; 如果接纳用户, 则根据用户 访问的应用类型, 如: 超高清视频, 高清视频, 标清视频等, 判断对应到 相应的业务策略模板; 并根据对应到的业务策略模板通过内部接口向网络 部件请求和业务策略模板对应的网络策略, 请求网络保障;
步骤 307, 网络部件收到用户的网络保障策略请求, 根据其中的业务策 略模板信息, 对应到相应的网络策略模板; 应用相应的网络策略模板; 并 向 CDN部件反馈执行结果消息; 如网络策略执行成功, 则说明网络资可保 障用户的业务, 继续本流程; 如网络策略执行不成功, 则进行出错处理; 出错的原因可能是网络资源不足, 此时 , 可做相应的记录, 统计处理等, 为后续的扩容提供依据;
步骤 308, 至此, 进行业务策略的部署和网络策略的部署, 已可对用户 的 IPTV业务进行保障, 也可以开始服务; 融合设备的 CDN部件向 IPTV业务 系统发送服务开始请求; IPTV业务系统接收到请求消息, 记录服务开始; 开始向用户服务;
步骤 309, CDN系统部件开始向用户提供媒体分发服务, CDN部件检查 本地緩存是否有用户所请求的媒体内容, 如果有, 则直接向用户分发; 如 果没有, 则需向上级 /中心 CDN节点请求并获取, 然后再向用户分发;
在此过程中, 融合设备的 CDN部件与外部 CDN节点实现了协同, 组成 了多级 CDN的结构; 融合设备向上的内容获取, 取决于 CDN的依赖关系和 组网结构。 上级 /中心 CDN节点根据融合设备的内容请求, 返回相应的媒体 内容。
步骤 410, 在此过程中, 用户得到持续的媒体内容服务, 直至服务提供 完成, 或用户切换节目, 则 STB关闭该媒体服务链接; 关闭链接的消息会触 发融合设备 CDN部件中维护的用户内容状态机的关闭要求, 在状态机关闭 前, 需要撤销本次服务的相应策略; 在 CDN部件内部, 撤销本次服务的业 务策略模板, 释放相关资源;
步骤 411, CDN部件通过内部接口向网络部件请求撤销本次 IPTV业务服 务的网络策略, 恢复该用户原来的网络策略;
步骤 412, 网络部件收到 CDN部件的策略撤销请求后, 撤销本次 IPTV 业务的网络策略, 恢复用户的网络策略, 并将执行结果向 CDN部件反馈; 步骤 413, CDN部件 4敦销了网络部件本次 IPTV业务的网络策略后, 向 IPTV业务系统发送服务结束请求, 关闭用户状态机; IPTV业务系统收到服 务结束请求后, 记录服务结束;
关于计费方面, 可根据具体实施的要求在 IPTV业务系统计费, 可在融 合设备的网络部件计费, 可在融合设备的 CDN部件计费, 或相互结合进行 计费; IPTV业务系统记录着用户使用的内容, 次数, 时长等信息; 融合设 备的网络部件, 记录着具体的网络使用, 带宽使用, 网络策略, 网络时长, 流量等信息; 融合设备的 CDN部件, 记录着具体的内容使用, 内容策略, 内容流量等信息。
由上述 IPTV业务的具体实现过程, 可知本发明实施例所述融合设备、 融合系统和融合方法具有如下特点:
( 1 )网络系统和 CDN系统作为该系统设备的部件存在, 是一种松耦合 的架构, 实现了设备层面的融合;
( 2 )网络部件和 CDN部件都有自己的用户状态机, 两者的状态机相互 独立;
( 3 ) 网络部件和 CDN部件分别维护有用户的网络状态机和内容状态 机, 便于实现基于用户的精细化运营和服务保障;
( 4 ) 网络部件和 CDN部件之间通过内部系统接口和消息接口进行交 互; 使得网络能力和 CDN内容服务能力具备了协同的能力;
( 5 ) CDN部件由统一的 CDN中心管理系统进行管理,该 CDN中心管理 系统可独立设置, 也可纳入本文所述的融合设备的网管系统, 作为网管系 统的一个组成部分;
