In the existing CDN technology, a CDN cache server is deployed in a higher network level, and a CDN load balancing system may allocate an optimal CDN cache server to a terminal by using location information of the terminal that is implicit in a terminal IP address.
With the proliferation of mobile data traffic and the increasing requirements of mobile users on service experience, the carrying capacity of the traditional mobile operator network suffers from impact. In a Mobile communication network, the location where the CDN cache server is deployed may be sunk to the Edge of the Mobile network through a Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) technology, so as to reduce the load of the transmission network, shorten the service latency, and improve the user experience.
However, in the mobile network, a network Protocol (IP) address of the UE is allocated by the core network, and the IP address does not include location information of the UE, so that according to the prior art, the CDN load balancing system cannot know a specific location of the UE in the mobile communication network, and further cannot select an optimal CDN cache server for the UE, so that the UE cannot obtain the required content in time. Meanwhile, when the UE moves in the mobile communication network, the IP address of the UE is not changed in consideration of service continuity, and therefore, according to the prior art, the IP address of the CDN cache server obtained according to the IP address is not changed, that is, the CDN cache server providing the content for the UE is not changed, which results in that an optimal CDN cache server cannot be selected for the UE according to the movement of the UE.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
In the embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 1, in a 4G or 5G mobile communication Network System, an MEC Server and a CDN cache Server are deployed at the edge of a mobile communication Network, and the MEC Server is connected to an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) or a 5G Core (5G Core, 5GC) through a Transport Network, for example, when the Transport Network is a Packet Transport Network (PTN), the MEC Server is connected to the EPC or 5GC through the PTN, where the EPC includes a Mobility Management Entity (MME) and a System Architecture Evolution gateway (System Architecture Evolution-gateway, GW), the 5GC includes an Access and Mobility Management Function Entity (Access and Mobility Management Function, AMF) and a User Port Function Entity (User Port, UPF), and a Function Server (home website resolution, DNS), CDN DNS, CDN global load balancing device, and regional load balancing device are deployed in a higher network level, for example, the web site DNS, the CDN global load balancing device, and the regional load balancing device may be deployed in a core computer room. A Network capability Exposure Function (NEF) is a device for opening a mobile Network capability based on a telecommunication Network and facing a partner service platform, and can provide base station identification information of a base station to which a UE belongs to for a CDN global load balancing device.
In the embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 2, after the UE accesses the mobile communication network, a detailed flow of the CDN global load balancing device selecting a CDN cache server for the UE is as follows:
step 200: the UE sends a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) access request to the website DNS.
Step 201: and the website DNS sends the URL access request to the CDN DNS, and the CDN DNS is triggered to analyze the URL access request.
Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, after receiving a URL access request sent by a website DNS, a website DNS forwards the URL access request to a CDN DNS to which an alias record (CNAME) points, and triggers the CDN DNS to resolve the URL access request, so that the CDN DNS resolves the CDN global load balancing device IP address according to the URL access request.
For example, after receiving a URL access request sent by a website DNS, a CDN DNS analyzes the domain name http:// www.xxxx.com according to URL content information carried in the URL access request, and further obtains the IP address of the CDN global load balancing equipment of 192.168. xx.xx.
Step 202: and the UE receives the IP address of the CDN global load balancing equipment sent by the CDN DNS and sends a URL access request to the CDN global load balancing equipment.
Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, after the CDN DNS resolves the CDN global load balancing device IP address according to the URL access request, the CDN global load balancing device IP address may be sent to the UE, and then the UE may send the URL access request to the CDN global load balancing device according to the CDN global load balancing device IP address.
Step 203: and the CDN global load balancing equipment sends an identification acquisition request to the NEF according to the IP address of the UE.
Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, after the UE sends the URL access request to the CDN global load balancing device, the interaction flow between the CDN global load balancing device and the NEF of the mobile network may be triggered, that is, the CDN global load balancing device may send an identifier obtaining request to the NEF according to the IP address of the UE, and request the NEF to send the base station identifier information of the base station to which the UE belongs.
Step 204: and the CDN global load balancing equipment receives the base station identification information of the base station to which the UE belongs, which is returned by the NEF.
Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, after receiving the identifier acquisition request sent by the CDN global load balancing device, the NEF may return the base station identifier information of the base station to which the UE belongs to the CDN global load balancing device.
Step 205: and the CDN global load balancing equipment selects regional load balancing equipment according to the base station identification information and a pre-stored first configuration relation, wherein the first configuration relation represents a preset corresponding relation between the base station identification information and the regional load balancing equipment.
Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, since the CDN global load balancing device prestores the preset corresponding relationship between the base station identifier information and the regional load balancing device, that is, the prestored first configuration relationship, after obtaining the base station identifier information returned by the NEF, the CDN global load balancing device may match the base station identifier information with the prestored first configuration relationship, and select the regional load balancing device of the region to which the UE belongs.
For example, referring to table 1, a CDN global load balancing device manages a regional load balancing device 1, a regional load balancing device 2, and a regional load balancing device 3, each regional load balancing device is configured with a plurality of evolved Node bs (eNB)/Next Generation base stations (Next Generation Node B, gNB) identification information (Identity, ID) (hereinafter, referred to as ID), and the first configuration relationship is: ID1, ID2, ID3, ID4, ID5, ID6, and ID7 correspond to zone load balancing apparatus 1, ID8, ID9, ID10, ID11, and ID12 correspond to zone load balancing apparatus 2, and ID13, ID14, ID15, ID16, ID17, ID18, ID19, and ID20 correspond to zone load balancing apparatus 3. When the CDN global load balancing device obtains the ID10 returned by the NEF, after matching the ID10 with the pre-stored first configuration relationship, the corresponding regional load balancing device may be selected, that is, the ID10 corresponds to the regional load balancing device 2, so that the CDN global load balancing device selects the regional load balancing device 2 for the UE.
TABLE 1
Step 206: and the CDN global load balancing equipment sends the base station identification information to the regional load balancing equipment, and triggers the regional load balancing equipment to select a CDN cache server according to the base station identification information and a pre-stored second configuration relation, wherein the second configuration relation represents a preset corresponding relation between the base station identification information and the CDN cache server.
Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, after selecting the regional load balancing device of the region to which the UE belongs, the CDN global load balancing device may send the base station identifier information sent by the NEF to the regional load balancing device, and since the regional load balancing device prestores the correspondence preset between the base station identifier information and the CDN cache server, that is, the second pre-stored configuration relationship, after obtaining the base station identifier information sent by the CDN global load balancing device, the regional load balancing device may match the base station identifier information with the second pre-stored configuration relationship, and select the appropriate CDN cache server for the UE.
For example, referring to table 2, the regional load balancing device 2 manages a CDN cache server 4 and a CDN cache server 5, each CDN cache server is configured with a plurality of IDs, and the second configuration relationship is: ID8, ID9 correspond to CDN cache server 4, and ID10, ID11, and ID12 correspond to CDN cache server 5. When the regional load balancing device 2 obtains the ID10 sent by the CDN global load balancing device, after matching the ID10 with the pre-stored second configuration relationship, the corresponding CDN cache server may be selected, that is, the ID10 corresponds to the CDN cache server 5, and therefore, the regional load balancing device 2 selects the CDN cache server 5 for the UE.
TABLE 2
Step 207: and the CDN global load balancing equipment receives the IP address of the CDN cache server sent by the regional load balancing equipment.
Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, after selecting an appropriate CDN cache server for the UE, the regional load balancing device sends the IP address of the selected CDN cache server to the CDN global load balancing device.
Step 208: and the CDN global load balancing equipment sends the IP address of the CDN cache server to the UE, and triggers the UE to initiate a content request to the CDN cache server according to the IP address of the CDN cache server.
Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, after receiving the IP address of the CDN cache server sent by the regional load balancing device, the CDN global load balancing device may send the IP address of the CDN cache server to the UE, and then the UE may send a content request to the CDN cache server based on the IP address of the CDN cache server to request to obtain the required content.
Step 209: and the CDN cache server receives the content request sent by the UE and returns the required content to the UE.
Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, after receiving a content request sent by the UE, the CDN cache server performs a corresponding response action, and sends the required content to the UE.
Further, when the location of the UE in the mobile communication network changes, the base station identification information of the base station to which the UE belongs changes, and the CDN global load balancing device selects an appropriate CDN cache server for the UE according to the new base station identification information. Referring to fig. 3, when the location of the UE in the mobile communication network changes, a detailed process of selecting a CDN cache server for the UE by the CDN global load balancing device is as follows:
step 300: the NEF acquires new base station identification information of the UE from the MME or the AMF, and sends the new base station identification information to CDN global load balancing equipment.
Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, after the location of the UE in the mobile communication network changes, the base station identification information of the base station to which the UE belongs also changes, the MME or the AMF obtains new base station identification information where the UE is located, and actively sends the new base station identification information to the NEF, and further, the NEF receives the new base station identification information and actively sends the new base station identification information to the CDN global load balancing device. The location information of the UE is managed by the MME in the 4G mobile communication network system, that is, the MME tracks the network of the UE in real time and records the latest location information of the UE, and the location information of the UE is managed by the AMF in the 5G mobile communication network system.
Step 301: and the CDN global load balancing equipment selects regional load balancing equipment according to the new base station identification information and a pre-stored first configuration relation, wherein the first configuration relation represents a preset corresponding relation between the new base station identification information and the regional load balancing equipment.
Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, since the CDN global load balancing device prestores the first configuration relationship, after obtaining the new base station identification information sent by the NEF, the CDN global load balancing device may match the new base station identification information with the prestored first configuration relationship, and select the regional load balancing device of the region to which the UE belongs.
For example, referring to table 1, when the CDN global load balancing device obtains new base station identification information sent by the NEF as ID13, after matching ID13 with the pre-stored first configuration relationship, the corresponding regional load balancing device may be selected, that is, ID13 corresponds to the regional load balancing device 3, and therefore, the CDN global load balancing device selects the regional load balancing device 3 for the UE.
Step 302: and the CDN global load balancing equipment sends the new base station identification information to the regional load balancing equipment, and triggers the regional load balancing equipment to select a new CDN cache server according to the new base station identification information and a pre-stored second configuration relation, wherein the second configuration relation represents a preset corresponding relation between the new base station identification information and the CDN cache server.
Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, after selecting the regional load balancing device of the region to which the UE belongs, the CDN global load balancing device may send new base station identification information sent by the NEF to the regional load balancing device, and since the regional load balancing device prestores the second configuration relationship, after obtaining the new base station identification information sent by the CDN global load balancing device, the regional load balancing device may match the new base station identification information with the prestored second configuration relationship, and select an appropriate CDN cache server for the UE.
For example, referring to table 3, the regional load balancing device 3 manages a CDN cache server 6 and a CDN cache server 7, each CDN cache server is configured with a plurality of IDs, and the second configuration relationship is: ID13, ID14 correspond to CDN cache server 6, and ID15, ID16, and ID17 correspond to CDN cache server 7. When the regional load balancing device 3 obtains the ID13 sent by the CDN global load balancing device, after matching the ID13 with the pre-stored second configuration relationship, the corresponding CDN cache server may be selected, that is, the ID13 corresponds to the CDN cache server 6, and therefore, the regional load balancing device 3 selects the CDN cache server 6 for the UE.
TABLE 3
Step 303: and the CDN global load balancing equipment receives the IP address of the CDN cache server sent by the regional load balancing equipment.
Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, after a suitable CDN cache server is reselected for the UE, the regional load balancing device sends the IP address of the reselected CDN cache server to the CDN global load balancing device.
Step 304: and the CDN global load balancing equipment sends the IP address of the CDN cache server to the UE, and triggers the UE to initiate a content request to the CDN cache server according to the IP address of the CDN cache server.
Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, after receiving the IP address of the CDN cache server reselected by the regional load balancing device, the CDN global load balancing device may send the IP address of the CDN cache server to the UE, and the UE may send a content request to the CDN cache server based on the IP address of the CDN cache server to request to obtain the required content.
Step 305: and the CDN cache server receives the content request sent by the UE and returns the required content to the UE.
