As shown in the following table, the data packet of the access network mainly includes the following parts:

DA

SA

Reserved

Payload

CRC

wherein:

the Destination Address (DA) is composed of 8 bytes (byte), the first byte represents the type of the data packet (such as various protocol packets, multicast data packets, unicast data packets, etc.), there are 256 possibilities at most, the second byte to the sixth byte are metropolitan area network addresses, and the seventh byte and the eighth byte are access network addresses;

the Source Address (SA) is also composed of 8 bytes (byte), defined as the same as the Destination Address (DA);

the reserved byte consists of 2 bytes;

the payload part has different lengths according to different types of datagrams, and is 64 bytes if the datagram is various types of protocol packets, and is 32+1024 or 1056 bytes if the datagram is a unicast packet, of course, the length is not limited to the above 2 types;

2.2 metropolitan area network packet definition

The topology of a metropolitan area network is a graph and there may be 2, or even more than 2, connections between two devices, i.e., there may be more than 2 connections between a node switch and a node server, a node switch and a node switch, and a node switch and a node server. However, the metro network address of the metro network device is unique, and in order to accurately describe the connection relationship between the metro network devices, parameters are introduced in the embodiment of the present application: a label to uniquely describe a metropolitan area network device.

In this specification, the definition of the Label is similar to that of the Label of MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switch), and assuming that there are two connections between the device a and the device B, there are 2 labels for the packet from the device a to the device B, and 2 labels for the packet from the device B to the device a. The label is classified into an incoming label and an outgoing label, and assuming that the label (incoming label) of the packet entering the device a is 0x0000, the label (outgoing label) of the packet leaving the device a may become 0x 0001. The network access process of the metro network is a network access process under centralized control, that is, address allocation and label allocation of the metro network are both dominated by the metro server, and the node switch and the node server are both passively executed, which is different from label allocation of MPLS, and label allocation of MPLS is a result of mutual negotiation between the switch and the server.

As shown in the following table, the data packet of the metro network mainly includes the following parts:

DA

SA

Reserved

label (R)

Payload

CRC

Namely Destination Address (DA), Source Address (SA), Reserved byte (Reserved), tag, payload (pdu), CRC. The format of the tag may be defined by reference to the following: the tag is 32 bits with the upper 16 bits reserved and only the lower 16 bits used, and its position is between the reserved bytes and payload of the packet.

Therefore, the user can remotely operate the initiation of the video conference and upload the conference list by one key. The user experience is improved.

In the embodiment of the application, when the chairman terminal uploads the conference list to the conference management platform, the chairman terminal directly uploads the conference list to the conference management platform in a transparent transmission mode without the transfer of a video networking server, wherein the transparent transmission can be understood as a special video networking communication channel between the conference management platform and the chairman terminal; therefore, when the video conference of the video network is initiated, the transfer pressure of the video network server is reduced, and the list uploading is faster.

Step 502, when receiving a first signaling sent by the conference management platform, the chairman terminal generates first information and sends the first information to the remote control terminal.

Wherein the first signaling is generated by the conference management platform upon receiving the first conference list; the remote control terminal is used for displaying the first information.

In practice, when the conference management platform successfully receives the first conference list, the conference management platform may feed back a result of the successful reception to the chairman terminal, specifically, the first signaling is feedback information of the successful reception of the first conference list, and the first signaling may be an encoded signaling or a character string signaling. When receiving the first signaling, the chairman terminal generates first information according to the first signaling, wherein the first information may be text information generated by the chairman terminal or coding information.

In a specific implementation, the displaying of the first information by the remote control terminal may be displaying the first information, for example, the first information may be displayed on a display interface of the remote control terminal, and may be text information of the displayed first information, or may be a picture symbol displaying the first information; therefore, the user can master the dynamics of the uploading of the conference through the display interface. The first information can also be displayed in sound and light display modes such as voice broadcasting, vibration and flickering, and when the sound and light display mode is adopted, the user can acquire the dynamic state uploaded by the conference list by watching or listening when the user does not hold the remote control terminal.

Through the steps, the user can not only control the chairman terminal to upload the conference list through the remote control terminal, but also can remotely know whether the conference list is uploaded successfully, and further can remotely master the uploading dynamics of the conference list.

Step 503, the chairman terminal generates a conference initiating instruction when receiving the second trigger signal sent by the remote control terminal.

And the second trigger signal is generated by the remote control terminal according to the received second operation aiming at the first information.

In a specific implementation, when the remote control terminal displays the first information, the user may determine an operation mode of the second operation according to the display mode of the first information, for example, if the remote control terminal displays the first information by using the display interface, the second operation may be a touch operation performed on the display interface displaying the first information; if the remote control terminal displays the first information in an acousto-optic display mode, the second operation can be a voice input operation or a key-press input operation.

Specifically, the second trigger signal may be a communication signal carrying text instruction information, and the chairman terminal generates a conference initiating instruction when receiving the second trigger signal, where in practice, the conference initiating instruction may include an MAC address of the video networking server and an MAC address of the conference management platform; the MAC address of the video network server can represent that the conference initiating instruction is transferred through the video network server, and the MAC address of the conference management platform can represent that the conference initiating instruction is finally sent to the conference management platform.

Step 504, the chairman terminal sends the conference initiating instruction to the video network server; and the video networking server is used for sending the conference initiating instruction to the conference management platform.

In the specific implementation, the chairman terminal sends a conference initiating instruction to the video networking server according to the video networking protocol, and when the video networking server receives the conference initiating instruction, the video networking server forwards the conference initiating instruction to the conference management platform according to the video networking protocol. Therefore, the video networking server and the conference management platform can carry out subsequent video conference services according to the conference initiating instruction.

Through the step 504 and the step 503, the user can remotely control the conference initiation of the chairman terminal through the remote control terminal, so that the user can remotely initiate the video conference, namely, the problem that the user needs to be fixed at the position of the chairman terminal or the user needs to directly operate the chairman terminal to initiate the video conference in the past is solved, and the user experience is improved.

As an optional example, the video network further comprises a plurality of conference terminals connected to the video network server; the first conference list comprises N terminal numbers, wherein N is a positive integer; after step 504, the following steps are also included:

and 505, the chairman terminal receives a second signaling sent by the video network server.

And the second signaling is generated based on the first conference list when the conference management platform receives the conference initiating instruction and is sent to the video networking server by the conference management platform, the second signaling comprises M first terminal numbers corresponding to the terminal numbers, and M is a positive integer less than or equal to N.

As an optional example, the first terminal number is a terminal number of a conference terminal in an online state in the N terminal numbers. For example, if all conference terminals corresponding to 5 terminal numbers in the first conference list are online, the first terminal number is the 5 terminal numbers; if only the conference terminals corresponding to 4 terminal numbers are online in the 5 terminal numbers in the first conference list, the number of the first terminal is 4, and the terminal numbers corresponding to 4 online conference terminals are respectively provided.

In practice, when receiving the conference initiating command, the conference management platform finds a first conference list in which the chairman terminal wins based on the conference initiating command, and displays the first conference list. The M first terminal numbers correspond to the terminal numbers which are in the online state in the terminal list.

It can be understood that the second signaling may be understood as a video conference start signaling sent by the conference management platform, and when the conference management platform receives the conference initiating instruction, the video conference may be performed according to the conference initiating instruction, that is, the conference management platform pulls the first conference terminals corresponding to the M first terminal numbers into the video conference.

Step 506, the chairman terminal receives the M pieces of first video stream data forwarded by the video network server for the second signaling.

And the first video stream data is generated by a first conference terminal corresponding to the first terminal number and is sent to the video networking server by the first conference terminal.

When the chairman terminal receives the second signaling, the chairman terminal receives the video stream data forwarded by the server according to the first terminal number in the second signaling, and plays each path of video stream data on the chairman terminal, thereby realizing the video conference.

Step 507, the chairman terminal generates second information for the state of receiving the M pieces of first video stream data, and sends the second information to the remote control terminal.

And the remote control terminal is used for displaying the second information.

In practice, the state of receiving the M pieces of first video stream data may be understood as: the network transmission status of each path of the first video stream data in the video network may further be represented by a video traffic value, for example, if the video traffic value of the first video stream data S is 0MB, it indicates that the transmission of the first video stream data is not successful, and if the video traffic value of the first video stream data F is 3MB, it indicates that the first video stream data is being transmitted.

Correspondingly, the second information may be information reflecting the video traffic value of each first video stream data, and when the remote control terminal receives the second information, the second information may be displayed on a display interface for a user to view, or the second information may be broadcasted through information played by voice. Therefore, the user can master the state that the chairman terminal receives the video stream data sent by each conference terminal in the video conference process according to the second information, and can timely inspect the network environment or the fault reason when the video stream data of a certain conference terminal is not received, so that loss is avoided, and the conversation quality of the video conference is ensured.

As an alternative example, the chairman terminal has a chairman terminal number; before step 501, the following steps may also be included:

step 5001, when the chairman terminal receives a third trigger signal sent by the remote control terminal, generating a list request instruction, and sending the list request instruction to the video network server.

The third trigger signal is generated by the remote control terminal according to the received third operation; the list request instruction comprises the chairman terminal number.

In practice, a button or a function interface for list downloading may be preconfigured on the remote control terminal, the third operation may be a button trigger operation for list downloading, or a touch trigger operation for the function interface for list downloading, and the third trigger signal may be a communication signal carrying text instruction information.

Before uploading the conference list, the remote control terminal may remotely control the chairman terminal to download the first conference list in advance, that is, the first conference list may be downloaded by the chairman terminal in advance.

In practice, when a video conference is held for the first time, the chairman terminal can register the terminal number of the chairman terminal and the numbers of other conference terminals for carrying out the video conference in the video networking server, and therefore when a subsequent chairman terminal applies for the video conference again, the conference list can be directly called from the video networking server.

Step 5002, the chairman terminal receives the first conference list sent by the video network server.

And the first conference list is searched out by the video networking server aiming at the list request instruction in a plurality of preset second conference lists based on the chairman terminal number.

In a specific implementation, the conference list in the video network server uses the chairman terminal number as an identifier, that is, the list request instruction includes the chairman terminal number, and the video network server can search the first conference list corresponding to the chairman terminal according to the chairman terminal number in a plurality of preset conference lists.

Through the step 5001 and the step 5002, the user can acquire the first conference list by one key of the remote control terminal, and the chairman terminal can store the first conference list when receiving the first conference list. Therefore, the user only needs to configure the conference list when the video conference is carried out for the first time, and when the video conference is carried out later, the configured conference list is imported from the video networking server, so that the situation that the conference list is configured again by operating the chairman terminal is avoided, the video conference initiating efficiency is improved, and the user experience is improved.

In the embodiment of the application, the chairman terminal receives the remote trigger signaling issued by the remote control terminal, so that the conference list is automatically uploaded to the conference management platform in response to the remote trigger signaling, and a conference initiating instruction is issued to the video network server and the conference management platform.
