Method realizing TCP connection reusing in instant communication

Abstract

The invention relates to the computer instant communication technical field and proposes a method which realizes the instant communication TCP connection multiplexing, based on an instant communication system composed of an instant communication sender client, an instant communication receiver client and an instant communication server; the method includes the steps that the instant communication sender client loads a TCP connection pool manager and sends an application connection establishing request to the instant communication receiver client; the application connection includes the application label; the TCP connection corresponding to the application label is acquired from the TCP connection pool managed by the TCP connection pool manager; the data is transmitted to the instant communication receiver client according to the TCP connection corresponding to the application label. The method which realizes the instant communication TCP connection multiplexing not only reduces the extra time and resource consumption of the TCP connection caused by the repeated connection and disconnection, but also further improves the operation experience of the various communication modes of the users, the usability and the user experience of the instant communication software.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of instant messaging, in particular to a method for realizing multiplexing of instant messaging TCP connections. Background technique [0002] In the existing mainstream instant messaging (Instant Messager, IM) software, such as Tencent QQ, MSN, Yahoo Messenger, Taobao Wangwang, etc., all provide rich communication methods such as file transfer, video and voice, and these communication methods include one-to-one One-to-many communication methods and one-to-many communication methods; the one-to-many communication method refers to sending chat messages, transferring files, videos, voices, and various emoticons among group members. [0003] In the one-to-one communication mode, the corresponding point-to-point connection establishment signaling is forwarded between IM servers, and a TCP connection between two IM clients is established after a series of authentication operations. When a certain task is complete...

Problems solved by technology

When tasks with the same attribute or the same application still need to re-establish the TCP connection, resulting in a lot of additional time and memory overhead; and the establishment of a TCP connection not only requires the establishment of a physical connection, but also may require a certain logical authentication process. Thus affecting the performance and speed of instant messaging and other user experience
