The present invention provides a
data stream transmission method and device, the method comprising: when the video management
server determines that the access device needs to copy the
data stream for the target
client, the access device receives the copied
data stream from the video management
server Redirection policy; if the access device receives a data flow that matches the copy redirection policy, the access device sends the data flow according to the destination address of the data flow, and uses the copy redirection The policy copies the new data flow for the destination
client, and sends the new data flow to the destination
client. Through the technical solution of the present invention, the
working pressure of the streaming
media server can be reduced, the
processing resources of the streaming
media server can be saved, the network bandwidth can be saved, and the duplication and distribution of the data
stream can be completed in time, and the data
stream can be transmitted to the client in real time. Moreover, under the premise of ensuring
network security, the transmission path of the data flow can be made more reasonable and the transmission path can be simplified as much as possible.
