Hierarchical system configuration method and integrated scheduling method to provide multimedia streaming service on two-level double cluster system

Abstract

A hierarchical system configuration method and an integrated scheduling method for offering a multimedia streaming service on a two-level double cluster system are provided. The hierarchical system configuration method includes the steps of: determining whether one server node exists; if one server node exists, determining whether one virtual server node/specific network storing and merging block exists; and if one virtual server node/specific network storing and merging block exists, setting a system configuration mode for configuring a single virtual server node based multimedia streaming server system and determining a representative network address of a current system, wherein depending on a scale and a characteristic of the multimedia streaming service, a hierarchical multimedia streaming server system is configured into a single virtual server node based system, which is a minimum-scale, a mono-level single virtual cluster based system, which is a medium-scale, and a two-level double cluster based system, which is a maximum-scale.
