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:

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;

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 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:

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.

Referring to fig. 5, a flowchart illustrating steps of an embodiment of a method for video conference call joining according to an embodiment of the present application is shown, where the method is applied to a video network, the video network is communicatively connected to an ethernet network, the video network includes a video network terminal, a video network server and a protocol server, and the ethernet network includes a gatekeeper server and a conference server; the collaboration server is in communication connection with the gatekeeper server and is connected with the conference server, and specifically includes the following steps:

step 501, a video network server sends a conference access request message initiated by a video network terminal to a protocol conversion server;

In the embodiment of the application, the video network server can function as a router and a switch to forward the received video network data. Specifically, the video network server can convert the data based on the internet protocol sent by the video network terminal into the data based on the video network protocol, send the data to the protocol conversion server, and convert the data based on the video network protocol sent by the protocol conversion server into the data based on the internet protocol, and then send the data to the video network terminal.

In the embodiment of the application, the protocol conversion server can communicate with the video networking server through a video networking protocol, and can also communicate with the gatekeeper server and the conference server through an internet protocol.

In a specific implementation, the gatekeeper server is a GK server, which is a gatekeeper server executing an RAS (Registration and Status, call Admission state) protocol in an H323 protocol cluster, and specifically has functions of call control and management, address translation, bandwidth control and management, user authentication, authorization and charging, and collection of charging information. The RAS protocol is a component of h.225.0, and provides functions of determining an endpoint address and status, performing call admission control, and the like for a network management point.

The conference server may be an H323MCU (Multipoint Control Unit), and the MCU may include an MC (Multipoint Controller) and an MP (Multipoint Processor), where the MC processes signaling of multiple points, and the MP is responsible for media processing of Multipoint communication, and a video conference room may be created in a video networking environment through the conference server.

In the embodiment of the application, a video conference room can be created through the H323MCU, then the IP address of the GK server is configured under the same network environment, the protocol server is registered on the GK server by configuring the address translation function of the gatekeeper on the protocol server, so that the GK server can quickly identify the H323 conference call initiated by the video network terminal, and the accuracy of the video network terminal calling and the video conference is ensured.

In a specific implementation, the protocol conversion server may obtain a conference room number of a video conference created by the H323MCU and an IP address of the GK server, and may convert the IP address of the GK server into an e164 number of a corresponding conference room after a GK registration function of the protocol conversion server is turned on. Wherein, the e164 number is the number that the calling user needs to dial for calling the user in the mobile communication network. The format is as follows: CC + NDC + SN, which can also be expressed as: country code + N1N2N3+ H0H1H2H3+ ABCD, wherein CC is country code, china is 86; NDC is the domestic destination code; SN is the subscriber number.

In the embodiment of the application, the video networking terminal can initiate conference entrance request information to the video networking server so as to join the corresponding video conference, and the video networking server can send the conference entrance request information to the coordination server.

In a specific implementation, the protocol conversion server may virtualize a plurality of virtual terminals of the video network, and a user may input a number identifier of the virtual terminal of the video network in a configuration file at a terminal of a Set Top Box (STB), configure numbers that need to join the same conference room together, and configure the same e164 number, thereby generating meeting entry request information, and then send the meeting entry request information to the video network server, and the video network server converts the meeting entry request information based on the internet protocol into meeting entry request information based on the video network protocol, and sends the meeting entry request information to the protocol conversion server. The number identifier may be a five-digit video networking number, such as 10101.

Step 502, when the conference joining request information is the target request information, the cooperation server sends the conference joining request information to the gatekeeper server;

in this embodiment of the application, the collaboration server may detect conference entry request information sent by the video networking server, and send the conference entry request information to the gk server when the conference entry request information is target request information. The target request information is active conference entering request information, and specifically, the GK conference entering information.

In an alternative embodiment of the present application,step 502 may include the following sub-steps:

in the substep S11, the video networking unit adopts the number identification to generate the call information and sends the call information to the conference control unit;

in this embodiment, the collaboration server may include a video networking unit, a conference control unit, an address translation unit, and the like, and the conference joining request information may include a number identifier of a video networking conference.

In a specific implementation, the collaboration server may receive conference entering request information sent by the video networking server through the video networking unit, then parse the conference entering request information to obtain a number identifier corresponding to the conference entering request information, then generate call information by using the number identifier, and send the call information to the conference control unit.

For example, the number of the virtual terminal of the internet of view can be input in the terminal 8168 of the internet of view, a click call can be made, the terminal of the aurora can send the internet of view call protocol command 8e01 to the server of the internet of view, the server of the internet of view can convert the protocol command 8e01 based on the internet protocol into the protocol command 8e02 based on the internet of view protocol, and send the protocol command to the internet of view unit of the protocol conversion server, then the internet of view unit can identify the call mode indexed into the configuration file by the number in the 8e02 command, the internet of view unit can create a message type of call.

In the substep S12, the conference control unit determines whether the call information includes target call content, where the target call content is a content with a preset identifier as a prefix;

substep S13, when the call information includes the target call content, the conference control unit packages the number identification and the call information, generates the registration request information, and sends to the address translation unit;

in a specific implementation, the target call content may be content prefixed with a preset identifier, such as content prefixed with 80. After receiving the call information sent by the video networking unit, the conference control unit may detect the content of the call information, and when the call information includes target call content, may encapsulate the number identifier corresponding to the conference entering request information, the call information, the IP address of the GK server, the e164 number, and the like into registration request information, and send the registration request information to the address translation unit, so that the address translation unit may initiate a registration request to the GK server.

In sub-step S14, the address translation unit sends the registration request message to the gatekeeper server.

In this embodiment, the address translation unit may convert the registration request information based on the internet protocol into the registration request information based on the internet protocol, and send the registration request information to the gatekeeper server, where the internet protocol may be an RAS protocol.

In a specific implementation, after receiving the registration request information, the address translation unit may send the registration request information REQ to the GK server according to the RAS protocol, and request for conference entry registration of the terminal of the internet of view.

Step 503, the gatekeeper server uses the conference joining request information to carry out conference joining registration on the video networking terminal, and sends registration response information aiming at the conference joining request information to the collaboration server, so that the collaboration server sends the conference joining request information to the conference server;

in this embodiment, the collaboration server may further include an internet unit. The gatekeeper server can register the conference of the video networking terminal according to the conference joining request information and send registration response information aiming at the conference joining request information to the collaboration server so that the collaboration server sends the conference joining request information to the conference server, and therefore the call mode that the video networking terminal actively calls and joins in an H323 conference is simplified by configuring a GK address translation function in the collaboration server.

In an alternative embodiment of the present application,step 503 may include the following sub-steps:

substep S21, the gatekeeper server adopts the registration request information to register the conference of the terminal of the video network, and generates the registration response information aiming at the registration request information;
