Method of managing multi-stream sessions between a terminal and a server

摘要

A method and apparatus are provided for managing sessions during which a terminal and a server exchange information blocks organized as a plurality of streams. The method includes storing in a data structure first data determined on the basis of an information block dedicated to signaling and coming from the terminal, the first data identifying the stream that transports the information block, the stream belonging to a session. The method further includes storing second data linked to the first data, the second data being determined on the basis of at least one other information block dedicated to signaling and transported by the same stream, the second data identifying the other stream or streams of the session.

1. A multi-stream transmission method comprising:
managing sessions during which a terminal and a server exchange information blocks organized as a plurality of different streams based on different types of information to which different ones of the information blocks are dedicated, wherein sessions already set up are favored over sessions being set up in an event of overloading of the server, the different types of information comprising:
signaling information organized into signaling information blocks used to set up the sessions and to close the sessions; andpayload information organized into payload data information blocks that are part of one or more a data files linked to one or more services provided by the server; and storing in a data structure:
first data determined on the basis of an information block dedicated to signaling and coming from the terminal, said first data identifying a stream that transports said information block based on said information block being dedicated to signaling, said stream belonging to a session; andsecond data linked to said first data, said second data being determined on the basis of at least one other information block dedicated to signaling and coming from the server, said second data being transported by the same stream as said first data, said second data identifying another stream or streams of the session, wherein the other stream or streams transport information blocks other than information blocks dedicated to signaling, wherein the same stream that transports the information blocks dedicated to signaling and the other stream or streams that transport the information blocks other than the information blocks dedicated to signaling are linked together in the same session by the first data and the second data stored in the data structure, wherein the different streams are differentiated in the data structure by different data communication port identifiers.
