With the development of communication technology, 5G (5th Generation mobile networks, fifth generation mobile communication technology) network has gradually become the mainstream technology of communication.

In order to adapt to the development of 5G technology, the target operator may deploy the operator network 302 shown in FIG. 3 in different provinces, cities and other regions respectively. For example, the target operator may deploy an operator network in province A, and may also deploy an operator network in city B, which is not limited in this disclosure. It can be understood that all communication devices located in province A (or city B) using the target operator can communicate through the operator network of the target operator in province A (or city B).

In some embodiments, the operator network 302 of the target operator in the target area may include an access network, a bearer network, a core network, etc. composed of various base stations, and the core network may transmit information to an external network through an exit node of the target network . In a 5G network, the target network exit node of the operator's network core network may be a UPF (User Plane Function, user plane function) node.

The user plane function UPF can implement the network address translation function, that is, it can convert the internal website address of the operator's network into a public network address.

Generally speaking, operator networks set up by different operators in different regions are closed and not open to the outside world, and network elements in the operator network are usually not known to the outside world.

Referring to FIG. 3, in order to determine the network quality of the terminal device when running the target service, the related art usually uses the target server 304 processing the target service as the speed measurement point, and the terminal 301 directly sends the target server 304 via the operator network 302 and the backbone network 303 to the target server 304. Initiate speed measurement, and evaluate network quality by observing the round-trip time of service packets or speed measurement packets as the network delay.

However, using the background target server 304 as the target speed measurement point may easily cause the following problems:

1. A large number of terminals sending speed measurement requests to the target server 304 at the same time will easily cause load pressure on the target server 304 and affect the operation of the background business process.

2. The load of the target server 304 affects the processing time of the speed measurement packet, which may cause distortion of the speed measurement data.

3. The speed measurement initiated by a large number of terminals on the background server 304 will occupy the server bandwidth and affect the actual business.

4. The speed measurement granularity is low, only the end-to-end (terminal to target server) network status changes can be sensed, and the network bottleneck cannot be further located.

The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for determining network quality, which completes the speed measurement of the terminal device for the target service without affecting the actual service processing speed of the target server 304 .

For example, the method can be executed by the server or the target device in the above-mentioned embodiment of FIG. 1, or can be executed jointly by the server and the target device, This disclosure does not limit this.

In some embodiments, the following network quality determination method may be performed by a speed measurement controller, where the test controller may be a server deployed in the cloud through cloud technology, and may communicate with each speed measurement node, target terminal, target Servers, etc. perform signaling interaction, and process the information transmitted by the target speed measuring node, target terminal, target server, etc. through cloud computing.

Generally speaking, before implementing the technical solution provided in this embodiment, speed measuring nodes (including a first speed measuring node and a second speed measuring node) need to be arranged in advance, wherein the first speed measuring node may be arranged at the network exit node of the operator network in each area (e.g. UPF in 5G networks). For example, the first speed measuring node may be arranged in the computer room where the network exit node is located, or the first speed measuring node may be arranged in the city where the network exit node is located.

Generally speaking, each operator will arrange its own network exit nodes in various provincial capitals and key cities that need to sink (such as a municipality directly under the central government, an economic development area, etc.). If the specific locations of the network exit nodes of each operator are not known in advance, multiple first speed measuring nodes can be randomly arranged in each provincial capital and key city.

In some embodiments, if the computer room where the target server processing the target service is located is known, the second speed measuring node may be arranged in the computer room where each target server is located. For example, the second speed measuring node may be arranged in the computer room where the target server is located, or the second speed measuring node may be arranged in the city where the target server is located, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, if the specific location of the target server is unknown, multiple second speed measuring nodes may be randomly arranged in each provincial capital and each major city, so that the second speed measuring nodes are as close to the location of the target server as possible.

In some embodiments, the first speed measuring node and the second speed measuring node may be the same or different, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

Wherein, the communication between the first area and the second area through the backbone network may refer to the communication between the target server and the target network exit node through the backbone network.

In some embodiments, the target device may refer to any device that needs to perform network speed measurement, such as a mobile phone, a computer, a smart speaker, a smart watch, etc., which is not limited in the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, the target service may refer to any service in the target device that requires network speed measurement, such as target game service, target audio service, target video service, target social service, etc., which is not limited in the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, network signals in the first area (such as network signals of target network exit nodes in the first area) may pass through the target network exit nodes to the backbone network, and then communicate with the second area (such as the second area) via the backbone network target server in the region) for network communication.

The target network exit node may be, for example, a network exit node of a 5G network (such as a UPF node) or a network exit node of a 4G network; it may be a network exit node of a mobile network or a fixed network network. The exit node may also be a network exit node of other networks, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, taking the speed measurement node obtained by the speed measurement controller as an example, before the target device measures the speed of the target service, a speed measurement request can be sent to the speed measurement controller, and the speed measurement request can be passed through the target network exit of the operator network where the target device is located. Reach the backbone network (the target network exit will allocate a public network address for the speed measurement request, and the public network address carries the geographic location information of the target network exit), and then reach the speed measurement controller via the backbone network; the speed measurement controller can be based on the speed measurement request. The network address determines the geographical location of the target network exit node; the speed measurement controller selects a first speed measurement node that is geographically close to the target network exit node (3021 shown in Figure 5) and has less load according to the geographical location of the target network exit As the first target speed measurement node of the target device (3022 shown in Figure 5); the speed measurement controller can also determine the geographical location of the target server according to the address of the target server corresponding to the target service in the speed measurement request, and the speed measurement controller The geographic location selection selects a second speed measuring node that is closer to the target server (3011 shown in FIG. 5 ) and has less load as the second target speed measuring node of the target device (3012 shown in FIG. 5 ).

It can be understood that, the closer the first target speed measuring node is to the target network exit node, the more accurate the network quality measured by the first target speed measuring node. Similarly, the closer the second target speed measuring node is to the target server, the more accurate the network quality measured by the second target speed measuring node.

In step S2, the operator network delay from the target device to the target network exit node is determined according to the first speed measurement signal sent by the target device to the first target speed measurement node.

In some embodiments, after the speed measurement controller determines the first target speed measurement node and the second target speed measurement node for the target device, it will send the address of the first target speed measurement node and the address of the second target speed measurement node to the target device.

As shown in FIG. 5 , when the target device (ie, the terminal 301 in FIG. 5 ) receives the address of the first target speed measurement node, it will send the first speed measurement signal to the first target speed measurement node 3022 according to the address of the first target speed measurement node, The network delay T1 from the target device to the first target speed measurement node can be determined according to the round-trip time of the first speed measurement signal.

Among them, the first speed measurement signal may be the speed measurement signal in the ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol, Internet Control Message Protocol) service, or may be TCPing (a network status detection command), UDPing (a network communication problem detection signal) ) or a speed measurement signal in a broadband speed measurement service, which is not limited in this disclosure.

It can be understood that since the distance between the first target speed measuring node 3022 and the target network exit node 3021 is relatively close, the network delay T1 between the target device and the first target speed measuring node can be used as the target device and the target network exit node. carrier network latency.

In step S3, the end-to-end network delay from the target device to the target server is determined according to the second speed measurement signal sent by the target device to the second target speed measurement node.

Referring to FIG. 5 , when the target device (ie, the terminal 301 in FIG. 5 ) receives the address of the second target speed measuring node, it will send a second speed measuring signal to the second target speed measuring node 3012 according to the address of the second target speed measuring node, and according to the address of the second target speed measuring node The round-trip time of the second speed measurement signal determines the network delay from the target device to the second target speed measurement node 3012 .

The second speed measurement signal may be the speed measurement signal in the ICMP service, or may be the speed measurement information in the TCPing, UDPing, or broadband speed measurement service, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

It can be understood that since the distance between the second target speed measuring node 3012 and the target server 3011 is relatively close, the network delay T2 between the target device and the second target speed measuring node 3012 can be regarded as the end of the target device and the target server 3011. End-to-end network delay.

Wherein, the above-mentioned step S2 and step S3 can be performed synchronously; or, the above-mentioned step S2 and step S3 can also be performed successively, for example, the above-mentioned step S2 can be performed before step S3, or, the above-mentioned step S2 can also be performed after step S3. This embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the execution order of step S2 and step S3.

In step S4, the network quality when the target device performs the target service is determined according to the operator network delay and the end-to-end network delay.

In some embodiments, after the carrier network delay T1 from the target device to the target network exit node 3021 and the end-to-end network delay T2 from the target device to the target server 3011 are known, the target network exit can be determined through T2-T1 The network delay of the backbone network from the node 3021 to the target server 3011.

In some embodiments, the operator network delay can be monitored in real time. If it is found that the operator network delay fluctuates (for example, the operator network delay suddenly increases or exceeds a first threshold), it can be considered that the target device is located in the operator network. Network quality is poor. When the network quality of the operator's network where the target device is located deteriorates, on the one hand, the target device can prompt the target object that the current network is poor so that the target object can take countermeasures (such as replacing the network), and on the other hand, proactive measures can be taken to the target object. The network quality of the operator's network is optimized (for example, network protocol optimization, information distribution, etc.).

In some embodiments, the end-to-end network delay from the target device to the target server can be monitored in real time. If it is found that the end-to-end network delay fluctuates (for example, the end-to-end network delay suddenly increases or exceeds a second threshold), the It can be considered that the network quality from the target device to the network where the target server is located becomes poor. When the network quality between the target device and the network where the target server is located deteriorates, on the one hand, the target device can prompt the target object that the current network is poor so that the target object can take countermeasures (such as replacing the network), and on the other hand, it can take active measures to End-to-end network quality is optimized.

In some embodiments, the network delay of the backbone network from the export of the target network to the target server can be monitored in real time. If it is found that the network delay of the backbone network fluctuates (for example, the network delay of the backbone network suddenly increases or exceeds a third threshold), it can be considered that The network quality of the backbone network from the exit node of the target network to the target server deteriorates. When the network quality of the backbone network from the exit node of the target network to the target server deteriorates, on the one hand, the target device can prompt the target object that the current network is poor so that the target object can take countermeasures (such as replacing the network); Measures to optimize the network quality of the backbone network.

Wherein, the above steps S1 to S4 may all be performed by the speed measurement controller, or may be entirely performed by the target device, or may be separately performed by the speed measurement controller and the target device.

In the technical solution provided by this embodiment, the network quality when the target device performs the target service is determined according to the operator network delay and the end-to-end network delay, wherein the operator network delay and the end-to-end network delay are determined according to the first A target speed measurement node and a second target speed measurement node are respectively determined; since the network quality is determined by the operator network delay and the end-to-end network delay, the network quality can include the network from the target device to the target network exit node. The quality of the network can also include the network quality from the target device to the target server; at the same time, the above-mentioned end-to-end network delay is set by the corresponding target network exit node and target server, and the target device does not need to send a test signal directly to the target server; therefore, The solutions provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can not only realize the determination of the network quality when the target device performs the target service without occupying the bandwidth of the target server and increase the server load; but also can measure the network quality from multiple dimensions (for example, , which can measure the network quality of the carrier network where the target device is located, the end-to-end network quality from the target device to the target server, and the network quality of the backbone network that the target device and the target server pass through, etc.) , and perform multi-dimensional measurement on the network quality when the target device executes the target service.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart of step S1 in FIG. 4 in an exemplary embodiment. Referring to FIG. 6 , the above-mentioned step S1 may include the following steps.

In step S11, in response to the speed measurement request sent by the target device for the target service, the speed measurement request includes the target public network address of the target network exit node and the target server address of the target server.

In some embodiments, before the target device performs speed measurement for the target service, a speed measurement request may be sent to the speed measurement controller, and the speed measurement request may reach the backbone network through the target network exit of the operator network where the target device is located, and arrive at the speed measurement through the backbone network. controller.

It can be understood that the speed measurement request may include the address of the target server that processes the target service. In addition, when the speed measurement request enters the backbone network through the target network exit node, the target network exit node will allocate a public IP address with regional characteristics (which may be called the target public network address) for the speed measurement request.

In step S12, a first target speed measuring node corresponding to the target network exit is determined according to the target public network address.

In some embodiments, the speed measurement controller may determine the first geographical location of the target network exit node according to the target public network address in the speed measurement request, and then determine the first target speed measurement node according to the first geographical location. For example, if there is a first speed measurement node in the first geographical location, the speed measurement controller can use the first speed measurement node closest to the target network exit as the first target speed measurement node of the target device; if the first speed measurement node does not exist in the first geographical location node, the speed measurement controller selects a first speed measurement node that is relatively close to the exit node of the target network as the first target speed measurement node of the target device. For another example, the speed measurement controller may also select a first speed measurement node whose distance from the target network exit is within the first target range and has less load as the first target speed measurement node of the target device.

In step S13, a second target speed measuring node corresponding to the target server is determined according to the address of the target server.

In some embodiments, the speed measurement controller may determine the first geographic location of the target server according to the address of the target server in the speed measurement request, and then determine the second target speed measurement node according to the second geographic location. For example, if there is a second speed measuring node in the second geographic location, the speed measuring controller can use the second speed measuring node closest to the target server as the second target speed measuring node of the target device; if there is no second speed measuring node in the second geographic location , the speed measurement controller selects a second speed measurement node that is relatively close to the target server as the second target speed measurement node of the target device. For another example, the speed measurement controller may also select a second speed measurement node with a distance from the target network exit within the second target range and with less load as the second target speed measurement node of the target device.

The technical solution provided by this embodiment can determine the first geographic location of the target network exit through the target public network address in the speed measurement request sent by the target device, and then determine the first target speed measurement node that is closer to the target network exit and has less load ; The second geographic location of the target server can also be determined through the address of the target server in the speed measurement request, and then the second target speed measurement node that is relatively close to the target server and has less load can be determined. Through the first target speed measurement node and the second target speed measurement node, the network quality can be determined without occupying the bandwidth of the target server and without increasing the load, and because the first target speed measurement node and the second target speed measurement node are far away from the target The distance between the network exit and the target server is relatively close, so that the network quality determined according to the first target speed measuring node and the second target speed measuring node can well reflect the network quality of the target device performing the target service.

The above-mentioned step S1 can also be performed by the target device itself. At this time, the target device may not send the above-mentioned speed measurement request (that is, the above-mentioned S11 is an optional step), but the target device can perform its own according to the target public network address and target. The server address is used to determine the first target speed measurement node and the second target speed measurement node. For example, the target device can store the correspondence between each network exit node and the target speed measurement node, and store the correspondence between each target server and the target speed measurement node. and the address of the target server, and query the above corresponding relationship locally to determine the first target speed measuring node and the second target speed measuring node. The above corresponding relationship may be updated by the target device from the server periodically.

In step S42, the operator network quality from the target device to the target network exit is determined according to the operator network delay, so as to optimize the operator network according to the operator network quality.

In some embodiments, the operator network delay can be monitored in real time. If it is found that the operator network delay fluctuates (for example, the operator network delay suddenly increases or exceeds a first threshold), it can be considered that the target device is located in the operator network. Network quality is poor. When the network quality of the operator's network where the target device is located deteriorates, on the one hand, the target device can prompt the target object that the current network is poor so that the target object can take countermeasures (such as replacing the network), and on the other hand, it can take proactive measures for the operation The network quality of the commercial network is optimized (for example, network protocol optimization, information distribution, etc.).

In step S43, the end-to-end network quality from the target device to the target server is determined according to the end-to-end network delay, so as to optimize the end-to-end network according to the end-to-end network quality.

In step S44, the network quality of the backbone network exported from the target network to the target server is determined according to the network delay of the backbone network, so as to optimize the backbone network according to the network quality of the backbone network.

In the technical solution provided in this embodiment, the operator network quality, end-to-end network quality, and backbone network quality are determined according to the operator network delay, end-to-end network delay, and backbone network delay, and are determined from multiple dimensions. The network quality from the target device to the target server can be improved, the network bottleneck can be better located, and the measurement of the network quality when the target device executes the target service can be completed in a fine-grained manner.

Referring to FIG. 8 , the above-mentioned step S4 may include the following steps.

In step S45, if the fluctuation of the operator's network delay at the current moment compared with the average delay of the operator's network is greater than the target threshold, it is determined that the network from the target device to the target network exit at the current moment is abnormal.

In some embodiments, the average network delay of the operator may refer to the average network delay from the target device to the egress of the target network in the past period of time, or it may refer to the elimination of abnormal values (for example, greater than the target network delay threshold) After the average network delay, the present disclosure does not limit this.

In some embodiments, if the difference between the operator's network delay at the current moment and the average delay of the operator's network is greater than the target threshold, it may be considered that the network from the target device to the target network exit at the current moment is abnormal.

In step S46, network abnormality reminder information is generated.

In some embodiments, when an abnormality occurs in the network from the target device to the target network exit, network abnormality reminder information may be generated according to the network abnormality. The speed of the network is too slow, please buffer for a while before watching!" and other network abnormality reminders, this disclosure does not limit this.
