Abstract
An operating method of an overlay management server (OMS) is disclosed. The operating method may include performing a registration process along with a network entity, performing a resource reservation process along with the network entity in response to the registration process being performed, receiving a peer list provision request from the network entity in response to the resource reservation process being performed, and transmitting, to the network entity, a peer list including information associated with an overlay resource for the network entity based on a priority level of the network entity in response to the peer list provision request being received.
Claims14
An operating method of an overlay management server (OMS), the operating method comprising:
- requesting a cache server to initiate a virtual peer instance with a priority key used to identify a priority level of the cache server;
- receiving a response message from the cache server in response to a virtual peer of the cache server being created;
- and
- in response to a request for a peer list from the virtual peer, transmitting, to the virtual peer, a peer list including information associated with an overlay resource for the virtual peer based on the priority level, the overlay resource including another virtual peer,
- wherein the virtual peer establishes peer relationship with the another virtual peer with the priority key, and establishes peer relationship with an ordinary peer that does not have priority information without the priority key.
An overlay management server (OMS) comprising:
- a communication interface;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- request, through the communication interface, a cache server to initiate a virtual peer instance with a priority key used to identify a priority level of the cache server;
- receive, through the communication interface, a response message from the cache server in response to a virtual peer of the cache server being created;
- and
- transmit, to the virtual peer through the communication interface, a peer list including information associated with an overlay resource for the virtual peer based on the priority level in response to a request for a peer list from the virtual peer, the overlay resource including another virtual peer,
- wherein the virtual peer establishes peer relationship with the another virtual peer with the priority key, and establishes peer relationship with an ordinary peer that does not have priority information without the priority key.
