Currently, a method for P2P cache acceleration that is transparent to the users is to integrate the transparent proxy module and the P2P cache acceleration module into one service program to be deployed at the same device. Such deployment manner causes the device to process a great variety of tasks and have a rather high load. Under the condition of high load, the data packets may be delayed and lost, which eventually affects the user's internet surfing experience.

Embodiment 1

According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a method embodiment of a P2P data acceleration method is provided. It should be noted that, steps illustrated in the flow chart of the accompanying drawings may be executed at a computer system having a series of computer-executable commands. Further, though logic sequence is illustrated in the flow chart, under certain situations, steps different from the order disclosed or described herein may be applied.



FIG. 1 illustrates a flow chart of a P2P data acceleration method according to embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes following steps.


At Step S102, receiving an authorization information packet sent by a client, and acquiring a file identifier of the authorization information packet, where the file identifier corresponds to a file requested for downloading by the client.


Specifically, the aforementioned authorization information packet may be a handshake packet. The handshake packet is different from the authorization information packet used during the three-way handshake of the TCP protocol, but is an authorization information packet used in an authorization approach self-defined by the P2P at the application layer. The aforementioned file identifier is configured to characterize the file requested for downloading by different clients. For example, the file identifier may be the hash value calculated based on the file requested for downloading by the client.


In an optional embodiment, a data ingress device (e.g., proxy device) acquires a service data packet sent by a client to a destination server and analyzes content of the service data packet based on characteristics of the handshake packet, thereby obtaining a P2P handshake packet.


At Step S104, based on the file identifier, obtaining identification information of a target cache acceleration device corresponding to the file identifier through a preset algorithm.


Specifically, the identification information of the target cache acceleration device is configured to characterize the target cache acceleration device, and the proxy device may, based on the identification information of the cache acceleration device, send the data packet to the cache acceleration device corresponding to the identification information.


In an optional embodiment, to satisfy the load balancing requirements of the cache acceleration device, the same file-downloading demands may be assigned to the same target cache acceleration device. For example, when the same file IDs are acquired, the identification information packets that include the same file ID are assigned to the same cache acceleration device through the preset algorithm.


At Step S106, replacing original destination identification information of the authorization information packet with identification information of the target cache acceleration device.


Specifically, the original destination end of the authorization information packet may be a peer, and the original destination identification information of the aforementioned authorization information packet is the identification information of the peer.


In one optional embodiment, the identification information of the target cache acceleration device is obtained through the preset algorithm, where the identification information includes IP address and port number. The IP address and the port number of the peer included in the authorization information packet are replaced with the IP address and the port number of the target cache acceleration device.


At Step S108, sending the authorization information packet to the target cache acceleration device based on the replaced identification information of the authorization information packet.


In an optional embodiment, after replacing the original destination identification information with the identification information of the target cache acceleration device, the proxy device sends the authorization information packet to the target cache acceleration device based on the identification information of the target cache acceleration device.


Further, the original source identification information of the service data packet may be replaced with the identification information of the proxy device, where the identification information of the proxy device includes IP address and port number of the proxy device. Thus, when the service data packet is sent to the cache acceleration device, the cache acceleration device may send a response packet to the proxy device, thus allowing the proxy device to perform effective management and control over the data interaction.


In embodiments of the present disclosure, the authorization information packet sent by the client is received, and the file identifier of the authorization information packet is acquired. The identification information of the target cache acceleration device corresponding to the file identifier is obtained based on the file identifier through a preset algorithm, and the original destination identification information of the identification information packet is replaced with the identification information of the target cache acceleration device. The authorization information packet is sent to the target cache acceleration device based on the replaced identification information of the authorization information packet. In the aforementioned solution, a file ID may be matched with a corresponding target cache acceleration device based on the file ID included in the authorization information packet through a preset algorithm, and identification information of the matched target cache acceleration device may be acquired. Accordingly, the proxy device may send the authorization information packet to the target cache acceleration device based on the identification information of the target cache acceleration device. Thus, the technical issue in existing P2P cache acceleration techniques that load balancing can hardly be performed on various caching devices when the proxy device and the cache acceleration device are separately deployed may be solved. Thus, the technical effects of performing load balancing on the cache acceleration devices are realized, and the user's internet surfing experience is improved.


Optionally, based on the aforementioned embodiments, obtaining the file identifier of the authorization information packet includes:


Step S1021, searching for a byte at a preset location of the authorization information packet.


Step S1023, using the byte at the preset location as a starting point to acquire a preset number of bytes consecutively, thereby obtaining the file identifier.


In an optional embodiment, using the file identifier being a file ID as an example, for the disclosed P2P protocol—BitTorrent (bt), the file ID may be formed by 20 consecutive bytes starting from the 49th byte of the authorization information packet. That is, the 49th byte is searched for in the authorization information packet, and the 49th byte is used as the starting byte to acquire 20 bytes consecutively, thereby obtaining the file ID.


As such, the disclosed step may search for the byte at the preset location of the authorization information packet, and use the byte at the preset location as the starting point to acquire a preset number of bytes consecutively, thereby obtaining the file identifier. The above-described solution realizes the technical effects of acquiring the file identifier from the authorization information packet.


Optionally, based on the aforementioned embodiments, obtaining the identification information of the target cache acceleration device corresponding to the file identifier based on the file identifier through the preset algorithm may include:


Step S1025, searching for the identification information of the target cache acceleration device corresponding to the file identifier from a preset mapping relationship between file identifiers and cache acceleration devices through the consistent hashing algorithm. The identification information of the target cache acceleration device includes: IP address and port number of the target cache acceleration device.


In the aforementioned steps, the consistent hashing algorithm is configured to assign the same cache acceleration device to the authorization information packets having the same file identifier. In an optional embodiment, the five authorization information packets A1, B2, C3, D4, and E5 may respectively request the identification information of the target cache acceleration device from the proxy device, and the files requested for downloading by the five authorization information packets may be file A, file B, file A, file C, and file B, respectively. Correspondingly, there are three cache acceleration devices a, b, and c respectively storing the file A, the file B, and file C. The consistent hashing algorithm may be applied for calculation, and the identification information of the cache acceleration device a may be assigned to the authorization information packets A1 and C3, the identification information of the cache acceleration device b may be assigned to the authorization information packets B2 and E5, and the identification information of the cache acceleration device c may be assigned to the authorization information packet D4. After the IP address and the port number of the target cache acceleration device is obtained based on the file identifier through the consistent hashing algorithm, the proxy device may send the authorization information packet to the target cache acceleration device based on the IP address and port number of the target cache acceleration device.


As such, the identification information of the target cache acceleration device corresponding to the file identifier may be searched for from the preset mapping relationship between the file identifiers and the cache acceleration devices through the consistent hashing algorithm. The aforementioned solution implements the technical effects of performing load balancing on the cache acceleration devices through the consistent hashing algorithm.


Optionally, based on the disclosed embodiments, after receiving the authorization information packet sent by the client, the aforementioned method may further include:


Step S1010, storing quintuple information of the authorization information packet, where the quintuple information includes IP address and port number of the client.


Specifically, in the aforementioned step, the quintuple information may include: source IP address, source port, destination IP address, destination port, and transmission layer protocol.


In an optional embodiment, using the example in which the client transmits the authorization information packet to the proxy device, the quintuple information of the aforementioned authorization information packet may include: client IP address, client port, peer IP address, peer port, and transmission layer protocol.


Optionally, based on the aforementioned embodiments, when the proxy device receives the response information returned by the target cache acceleration device, the identification information of the target cache acceleration device may be hided, and the steps of hiding the identification information of the target cache acceleration device includes followings.


Step S1012, replacing, by the proxy device, source address and port number of the response information with IP address and port number of a peer included in the quintuple information, where the source address and the port number of the response information are IP address and port number of the target cache acceleration device.


In the aforementioned steps, the identification information of the target cache acceleration device is hided to prevent the client from attacking the cache acceleration device after knowing the identification information of the cache acceleration device. Accordingly, the technical effects of ensuring the device safety of the back-end P2P cache acceleration device are ensured.


In an optional embodiment, after the proxy device receives the response information returned by the target cache acceleration device, because the response information is the file returned by the target cache acceleration device, the source identification information (including IP address and port number) of the response information is the identification information of the target cache acceleration device. To hide the identification information of the target cache acceleration device, i.e., to prevent the client from acquiring the identification information of the target cache acceleration device, the source identification information of the response information is replaced with the identification information (including IP address and port number) of the peer.


As such, in the aforementioned steps of the present disclosure, when the proxy device receives the response information returned by the target cache acceleration device, the source address and the port number of the response information are replaced with the IP address and the port number of the client included in the quintuple information to hide the identification information of the target cache acceleration device. The aforementioned solutions prevent the client from attacking the cache acceleration device after knowing the identification information of the cache acceleration device, thereby achieving the technical effects of device safety of the back-end P2P cache acceleration device.


Optionally, based on the aforementioned embodiments, if within a preset period of time, quintuple information the same as the stored quintuple information is detected, the authorization information packet corresponding to the quintuple information that is the same as the stored quintuple information may perform data interaction based on a path of the authorization information packet corresponding to the stored quintuple information.


In an optional embodiment, an example in which the client sends an authorization information packet that includes quintuple information F to the proxy device is provided, and the proxy device is assumed to send the authorization information packet that includes the quintuple information F to a corresponding target cache acceleration device and to feedback the response information returned by the target cache acceleration device to the client. Within the preset period of time, when the proxy device once again receives an authorization information packet including the quintuple information F, the IP address of the target cache acceleration device to which the authorization information packet that includes the quintuple information F corresponds no longer needs to be calculated through an algorithm. Further, the authorization information packet may be sent based on the first-time-calculated IP address of the target cache acceleration device to which the authorization information packet F that includes the quintuple information F corresponds.


As such, the aforementioned steps of the present disclosure process the authorization data packets that include the same quintuple information using the same data interaction path. No repeated calculation is needed, and the path does not need to be changed. Accordingly, the number of tasks of the proxy device is decreased, and the technical effects of improving the task-processing efficiency is achieved.


Optionally, based on the aforementioned embodiments, before sending the authorization information packet to the target cache acceleration device based on the replaced identification information of the authorization information packet, the method further includes followings.


At Step S1014, adding identification information of a peer of the authorization information packet to head and/or tail of the authorization information packet with replaced identification information based on a preset protocol format, where the identification information of the peer is original destination identification information.


Specifically, in the aforementioned steps, the aforementioned peer is the destination end requested by the authorization information packet when requesting to download a file without the cache acceleration device. Usually, when the cache acceleration device does not hit the file requested for downloading in the authorization information packet, the cache acceleration device needs to forward the authorization information packet to the peer.


In an optional embodiment, the identification information of the peer may be replaced with the identification information of the target cache acceleration device, and the identification information of the peer may be added to the head and/or tail of the authorization information packet based on the preset protocol. The above-described encapsulated authorization information packet may be sent to the target cache acceleration device. Further, the identification information of the peer includes the IP and port number of the peer. In the aforementioned embodiments, the preset protocol may add the IP of the peer to the head of the authorization information packet, and add the port number of the peer to the tail of the authorization information packet. For example, four bytes may be added to the head of the authorization information packet, and two bytes may be added to the tail of the authorization information packet. Further, the IP of the peer may be stored in the four bytes of the head of the authorization information packet, and the port number of the peer may be stored in the two bytes of the tail of the authorization information packet, thereby realizing the objective of adding the identification information of the peer to the head and/or tail of the authorization information packet.


It should be noted that, the protocol used to add the IP and the port number of the peer to the authorization information packet may be a protocol described above, but is not limited to the protocols applied in the aforementioned embodiments. For example, the approach of first connecting the IP and port number of the peer and then adding the IP and port number of the peer to the head and/or tail of the authorization information packet may be also applied.


Optionally, based on the aforementioned embodiments, when the target cache acceleration device does not hit the file corresponding to the file identifier, the target cache acceleration device may send the authorization information packet to the peer of the client. The steps of sending the authorization information packet to the peer of the client includes followings.


Step S1016, acquiring the identification information of the peer that is added to the head and/or tail of the authorization information packet, where the identification information of the peer includes: IP address and port number of the peer.


Step S1018, sending the authorization information packet to the peer based on the IP address and the port number of the peer.


In an optional embodiment, in the situation where the target cache acceleration device does not hit the file requested by the client for downloading, the file needs to be requested for downloading from the source peer, and the target cache acceleration device acquires the identification information of the peer from the head and/or tail of the encapsulated authorization information packet. Further, based on the identification information of the peer, the authorization information packet is sent to request the file for downloading that is requested by the client.


It should be noted that, in the aforementioned embodiments, under situations where the proxy is needed for sending data back to source when the target cache acceleration device does not hit the file requested by the client for downloading, because the proxy device stores the identification information of the source peer, the target cache acceleration device may send data back to source using the proxy through the identification information of the stored source peer. However, the aforementioned implementation solutions are not limited to the situations where a proxy is needed to send data back to source due to the fact that the target cache acceleration device does not hit the file requested by the client for downloading, and any scenario that needs the proxy to send data back to source could apply the aforementioned method embodiments.


As such, before sending the authorization information packet to the target cache acceleration device based on the replaced identification information of the authorization information packet, the aforementioned steps of the present disclosure add the identification information of the peer of the authorization information packet to the head and/or tail of the authorization information packet with replaced identification information. When the target cache acceleration device does not hit the file corresponding to the file identifier, the identification information of the peer added to the head and/or tail of the authorization information packet is acquired, and the authorization information packet is sent to the peer based on the IP address and port number of the peer. The aforementioned solution solves the issue that the proxy cannot send data back to source due to the loss of the source data (e.g., identification information of a peer) during the P2P acceleration process.



FIG. 2 illustrates a schematic view of an optional P2P data acceleration method according to embodiments of the present disclosure. With reference to the example shown in FIG. 2, an optional embodiment of the aforementioned P2P data acceleration method is described hereinafter.


The client requests to acquire a peer IP list from a P2P application server through the Internet, and the P2P application server sends the peer IP list to the client. The client searches for a destination peer that needs to download a file from the peer IP list, uses the identification information of the destination peer as the destination identification information of the authorization information packet, and sends the authorization information packet to a proxy device.


After acquiring the authorization information packet whose destination identification information is the identification information of the peer, the proxy device stores the identification information of the peer, and acquires the file identifier of the file requested for downloading in the authorization information packet. The proxy device further obtains the identification information of target cache acceleration devices (including the cache acceleration device 1 and the cache acceleration device 2 shown in FIG. 2) that correspond to the file requested for downloading by the client based on the file identifier through the consistent hashing algorithm. The identification information of the peer is replaced with the identification information of the target cache acceleration device. The replaced authorization information packet is packed, and after the head and/or tail of the packed authorization information packet is added with the stored identification information of the peer based on the preset protocol, the authorization information packet is sent to the target cache acceleration device.


After the target cache acceleration device does not hit the downloading request of the client, the target cache acceleration device may, based on the identification information of the peer at the head and/or tail of the authorization information packet, send the authorization information packet to the peer, thereby acquiring the file requested by the client for downloading.

In the aforementioned solution, through a preset algorithm, a file ID may be matched with a corresponding target cache acceleration device based on the file ID included in the authorization information packet, and identification information of the matched target cache acceleration device may be acquired. Accordingly, the proxy device may send the authorization information packet to the target cache acceleration device based on the identification information of the target cache acceleration device. Thus, the technical issue in existing P2P cache acceleration techniques that load balancing can hardly be performed on various caching devices when the proxy device and the cache acceleration device are separately deployed may be solved.

As such, before sending the authorization information packet to the target cache acceleration device based on the replaced identification information of the authorization information packet, the disclosed system may add the identification information of the peer of the authorization information packet to the head and/or tail of the authorization information packet with replaced identification information. When the target cache acceleration device does not hit the file corresponding to the file identifier, the identification information of the peer added to the head and/or tail of the authorization information packet is acquired, and authorization information packet is sent to the peer based on the IP address and port number of the peer. The aforementioned solution solves the issues that the proxy cannot send data back to source due to the loss of the source data (e.g., identification information of the peer) during the P2P acceleration process.
