METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING INFORMATION BETWEEN SERVERS IN CONTENTS TRANSMISSION NETWORK SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for transmitting and receiving information between servers in a contents transmission network system and, more particularly, to a method and an apparatus for transmitting and receiving information between a core node and an edge node belonging to a contents transmission network. To accomplish the objective mentioned above, a method for receiving, by a receiving server, information in a contents transmission network according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: receiving first information from a transmission server; determining a transmission unit of the first information on the basis of the received first information; transmitting, to the transmission server, a second information transmission request including information on the determined transmission unit; and receiving, from the transmission server, second information generated on the basis of the information on the transmission unit. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the method and the apparatus for transmitting and receiving information between servers in a contents transmission network system can generate compressed information on the basis of original information sought to be transmitted between servers, whereby it is possible to obtain an effect of improving optimal compression efficiency, transmission efficiency between servers, and performance regarding the delay time between both communication ends.
