Session Migration - Based Scheduling Method and Server

A session migration-based scheduling method, comprising:

• receiving, by a second media server, a service request from a first media server, wherein the service request is to obtain target content required by a terminal, wherein the service request comprises a destination address, wherein the destination address comprises a destination Internet Protocol (IP) address and a destination medium access control (MAC) address, and wherein the destination address is an address of the second media server;
• querying, by the second media server, a target IP address in a database based on the service request, wherein the target IP address is of a server in which the target content is located;
• determining, by the second media server, the target IP address based on a candidate IP address from the database;
• determining, by the second media server, that the second media server contains the target content when the target IP address is the same as an IP address of the second media server;
• and
• sending the target content to the terminal.

A first media server comprising:

• a memory configured to store an instruction;
• a receiver coupled to the memory and configured to receive a data access request;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and the receiver, the instruction causing the at least one processor to:
• receive a service request from a terminal, wherein the service request is used to obtain target content required by the terminal, wherein the service request comprises a destination address, wherein the destination address comprises a destination Internet Protocol (IP) address and a destination medium access control (MAC) address, and wherein the destination address is of the first media server;
• query a target IP address in a database based on the service request, wherein the target IP address is of a server in which the target content is located;
• determine the target IP address based on a candidate IP address from the database;
• determine that the first media server is missing the target content when the target IP address is different from an IP address of the first media server;
• and
• send the service request to a second media server, wherein an IP address of the second media server is the target IP address.
