2. Video networking packet definition

2.1 Access network packet definition

The data packet of the access network mainly comprises the following parts: destination Address (DA), Source Address (SA), reserved bytes, payload (pdu), CRC.

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 data packets, and is 64 bytes if the data packet is a variety of protocol packets, and is 32+1024 or 1056 bytes if the data packet is a unicast data packet, of course, the length is not limited to the above 2 types;

The CRC consists of 4 bytes and is calculated in accordance with the standard ethernet CRC algorithm.

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 invention: 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.

Based on the characteristics of the video network, the terminal state alarm scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention follows the protocol of the video network, the video network server actively reports the abnormal information of the video network terminal with abnormal state to the network management server, and then the network management server pushes the alarm information of the video network terminal with abnormal state to the network management client for display.

Example one

The video network at least comprises a plurality of video network terminals, a video network server, a network management server and a network management client. Referring to fig. 5, a schematic diagram of device interaction in a video network according to a first embodiment of the present invention is shown. As can be seen from fig. 5, one video network server may manage a plurality of video network terminals, two-way interaction may be implemented between the video network server and the video network terminals based on a video network protocol, two-way interaction may be implemented between the video network server and a network management server based on the video network protocol, and two-way interaction may be implemented between the network management server and a network management client based on the video network protocol (for example, a TCP (Transmission control protocol) suitable for video network, the TCP protocol being a proprietary protocol developed for video network). It should be noted that a plurality of video network servers may be included in the video network, and each video network server may manage a plurality of video network terminals, and although only one video network server is shown in fig. 5, it is not meant to be limited to including only one video network server.

Generally, the set-top box may be connected to a camera and a microphone for collecting multimedia data such as video data and audio data, and may also be connected to a television for playing multimedia data such as video data and audio data.

The video network server can obtain the operation state of each video network terminal belonging to the video network server (namely, each video network terminal managed by the video network server). For example, the video networking server may actively query the video networking terminal for relevant information based on a video networking protocol to obtain an operating state of the video networking terminal; for another example, the video networking terminal may actively send related information to the video networking server based on the video networking protocol, so that the video networking server obtains the operating state of the video networking terminal.

Step 602, the video network server generates the abnormal information corresponding to the video network terminal with abnormal state.

after the video network terminal with the abnormal state is determined, the video network server generates corresponding abnormal information aiming at the video network terminal with the abnormal state. The abnormal information may include the user number and the operation state of the abnormal state video network terminal. For example, the video network server may obtain the information of the user number, the operation state, and the like of the video network terminal in the abnormal state, and generate the abnormal information carrying the information of the user number, the operation state, and the like.

Step 603, the video networking server sends the abnormal information to the network management server based on the video networking protocol.

For example, a communication link from the video network server to the network management server may be configured, and the video network server may send the exception information to the network management server according to the communication link.

Step 604, the network management server generates the alarm information corresponding to the abnormal state video network terminal according to the abnormal information, and pushes the alarm information to the network management client.

And after receiving the abnormal information corresponding to the abnormal state video network terminal, the network management server generates the alarm information corresponding to the abnormal state video network terminal according to the abnormal information. The warning information may include the user number of the abnormal state video network terminal, the name of the abnormal state video network terminal, the identifier of the video network server to which the abnormal state video network terminal belongs, the warning type, the reporting time, and the like.

The network management server pushes the alarm information to the network management client, and the network management client can display the alarm information to prompt a user (such as operation and maintenance personnel) that the current state of the video network terminal is abnormal.

In the embodiment of the invention, the video network server can actively report the abnormal information of the video network terminal with the abnormal state to the network management server, and then the network management server pushes the alarm information of the video network terminal with the abnormal state to the network management client, so that a user can check the alarm information of the video network terminal on the network management client without manually refreshing the alarm information by operation and maintenance personnel, the process is simple and convenient, the efficiency is high, the operation and maintenance personnel can know the abnormality of the video network terminal more timely, the abnormality is processed timely, and the stable operation of the video network is ensured.

each video network terminal can send a heartbeat data packet to the video network server to which the video network terminal belongs based on the video network protocol according to a first preset time interval, and the heartbeat data packet can include information such as a user number of the video network terminal.

For example, a communication link from the video network terminal to the video network server to which the video network terminal belongs may be configured, and the video network terminal may transmit the heartbeat packet to the video network server to which the video network terminal belongs according to the communication link. In specific implementation, first path information may be added to the heartbeat data packet, where the first path information may include a source address and a destination address, the source address is an internet-of-view address allocated to the internet-of-view terminal in the internet-of-view, the destination address is an internet-of-view address allocated to the internet-of-view server in the internet-of-view, and the internet-of-view terminal sends the heartbeat data packet to the internet-of-view server to which the heartbeat data packet belongs according to the first path information.

For the specific value of the first preset time interval, a person skilled in the art may set any suitable value according to practical experience, for example, the time interval may be set to be 1s, 2s, 5s, and the like, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

In sub-step a2, if the video network server determines that the heartbeat data packet sent by the current video network terminal has not been received for the first preset number of times, it determines that the current video network terminal is a video network terminal with abnormal state.

If the video network server does not receive the heartbeat data packet sent by a certain video network terminal for the first preset number of times, the video network server may consider that the video network terminal is currently abnormal, for example, the video network terminal may be considered to be offline, and in this case, the video network server may determine that the video network terminal is a video network terminal with an abnormal state.
