Preferred embodiment of the present disclosure

Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the following description, specific details such as specific configurations and components may be provided to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure. In addition, descriptions of well-known functions and constructions are omitted for clarity and conciseness.

It is to be understood that the phrase "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" or "an" or "an" Thus, "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" or "an embodiment" does not necessarily mean the same embodiment. In addition, these particular features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 1, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a software downloading method, which is applied to a base station, and the method may include:

Step 101: Obtain a target software identification identifier corresponding to the target software that needs to be downloaded;

The following is explained by way of example. For example, when the base station is upgraded, the A base station is configured with a single board, and the B base station is configured with a b board. At this time, when the C base station newly configures a board or the C base station configuration, the board software is damaged and needs to be re-downloaded, C The base station may first obtain the identification identifier of the target software corresponding to the board.

The identification identifier of the target software may be pre-stored or configured in the base station. Continue to explain with the above examples. For example, if the software of the a-board and the b-board is stored in the A-base station and the B-base station, the identification identifier corresponding to the a-board software and the b-board software can be configured in a distributed hash table (DHT, Distributed Hash Table). In every base station in the network. The manner of configuration may be that the identification identifier is configured in the upgraded base station when the base station is upgraded.

The identification identifier of the target software may also be obtained by requesting from the network management server to obtain the identification identifier of the target software. As another implementation manner, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the identification identifier of the target software may not be acquired and a magnetic link may be generated according to the identification identifier, but the base station requests the network management server for the magnetic link of the target software.

Step 102: Generate a magnetic link for downloading the target software according to the target software identification identifier.

Step 103: Send a download request to other base stations in the distributed hash table DHT network where the base station is located according to the magnetic link, and download the target software.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a magnetic link for downloading the target software is generated by acquiring a target software identification identifier pre-stored in the base station, and the target software is downloaded to other base stations in the distributed hash table DHT network according to the magnetic link, so that the download is performed. The speed is greatly improved, saving server resources and network bandwidth, and reducing the time for base station service interruption.

Continuing with the above example, the C base station can search for files from all base stations in the DHT network according to the magnetic link, and search according to the DHT algorithm when searching for a certain base station. If there is no routing table in the current base station, the DHT algorithm can be used according to the DHT algorithm. Continue looking for the next routing table.

Referring to FIG. 2, in the foregoing step 101, the acquiring the target software identification identifier corresponding to the target software that needs to be downloaded may include:

Step 201: Obtain a target hardware identifier of target hardware in the base station.

The software management module in the base station may be used to detect whether the hardware lacks corresponding software. When a certain hardware is found to lack corresponding software, the target hardware identifier of the target hardware may be provided. For example, when the software of the a board is missing, the hardware identifier of the board corresponding to the a board is obtained.

Step 202: Obtain a target software identification identifier corresponding to the target hardware identifier according to the correspondence between the hardware identifier and the software identification identifier obtained in advance.

The software identification identifier corresponding to the target hardware identifier may be obtained according to the target hardware identifier obtained in the foregoing. For example, an index table is pre-stored in the base station, and the a-board software identification identifier corresponding to the hardware identifier of the board is stored in the index table. When the hardware identifier of the board is obtained, the corresponding board software can be obtained according to the index table. Identify the logo.

Referring to FIG. 3, in the foregoing step 102, the generating, according to the target software identification identifier, generating a magnetic link for downloading the target software may include:

Step 301: Generate a magnetic link for downloading the target software according to the target software identification identifier and a preset algorithm.

The magnetic link may be a file identification identifier and some other identifiers. The more effective information may be the identification identifier of the file, and the corresponding magnetic link may be generated according to the identification identifier of the file and the preset algorithm. The preset algorithm may be set according to actual conditions, and may be generated by the corresponding client in the actual generated magnetic link.

The target software identification identifier may be a hash (HASH) value or a message digest algorithm (MD5) value of the target software. It can be understood that the HASH value and the MD5 value can only be an optional embodiment provided by the disclosure, and other identifiers that can be used as the unique identification identifier (digital fingerprint) can also be used as the identification identifier of the target software.

Referring to FIG. 4, the above method may further include:

Step 401: After the base station downloads the first software corresponding to the first hardware from the network management server, generates a first software identification identifier that uniquely identifies the first software, and generates a file index record according to the first software identification identifier. And storing the file index record in a distributed hash table DHT network dynamic routing table to which the base station belongs.

After the base station downloads the software to the network management server, the base station can add the identification identifier of the corresponding software to the file index record, so that other base stations can download the software. The base station can also add the identification identifier of the software downloaded by the other base station to the file index record, so that when a certain base station downloads the software, the base station can download to the multiple base stations, and after the base station stops working, the identification identifier cannot be downloaded. Software within a base station. That is, after the current base station downloads the first software corresponding to the first hardware from the network management server or from another base station, generates a first software identification identifier that uniquely identifies the first software, and generates a first software identification identifier according to the first software identification identifier. The file index records and stores the file index record in a distributed hash table DHT network dynamic routing table to which the base station belongs. Wherein, when the new base station needs to join the DHT network, an IP (Internet Protocol) address interconnected by the network of the target base station may be added to the file index record, where the target base station is connected to the distributed hash table DHT network. in.

When the network management server receives the download request of the same software sent by multiple base stations within a preset time period, the network management server may respond only to the base station that first sends the download request, or may only respond to the preset number of base stations that send the download request; Therefore, the other base stations can download the software, so that after the base station downloads the software in the DHT network, the other base stations can download the corresponding software from the base station that has downloaded the software, and do not need to repeatedly download to the network management server. For example, when the A base station, the B base station, and the C base station are all installed with a board, the A base station can download the software of the board to the network management server, and the B base station and the C base station can download the software of the board to the A base station. Wherein, when the network management server receives the download request of the same software sent by multiple base stations within a preset time period, it only responds to the base station that first sends the download request; thereby, the A base station, the B base station, and the C base station are prevented from being The download request is sent to the network management server in a short period of time. For example, the network management server receives the download request of the a board software sent by the A base station, the B base station, and the C base station in sequence within 30 minutes, and the network management server does not respond to the A board software sent by the B base station and the C base station after responding to the A base station. The download request, the B base station and the C base station may perform the above method after the A base station download is completed to download a board software to the A base station.

Referring to FIG. 5, the foregoing method may further include:

Step 501: Acquire a resource utilization rate of the base station.

Step 502: When the resource utilization is greater than a preset threshold, the magnetic chain of the base station is closed.

Each base station can determine whether its own resources are sufficient according to its own situation. If the current resource utilization rate is too high, for example, the resource utilization is greater than 80%, the opened magnetic chain or the client that manages the magnetic chain may not be turned on or off; If the resource utilization is lower than this value, the magnetic chain or client can be opened to provide download services to other base stations.

When the C base station downloads a board software to the A base station, the A base station can close the magnetic chain of the current base station because the resource utilization exceeds the preset threshold, and the C base station cannot continue to download the single board software by the A base station. At this time, the C base station can re-execute the step of transmitting the download request to the other base stations in the distributed hash table DHT network where the base station is located according to the magnetic link, and downloading the target software.

Referring to FIG. 6, after the foregoing step 103, the method may further include:

Step 601: When the target software is not downloaded in the preset time period, send the download request of the target software to the network management server, and receive the target software sent by the network management server according to the download request.

When the target software is not downloaded within the preset time period, the timeout processing may be performed. To ensure the normal operation of the base station, the software may be downloaded to the network management server.

Referring to FIG. 7, an embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a software downloading apparatus, which may include:

The first obtaining module 701 is configured to: acquire a target software identification identifier corresponding to the target software that needs to be downloaded;

The generating module 702 is configured to: generate a magnetic link for downloading the target software according to the target software identification identifier;
