METHOD AND DEVICE FOR HIERARCHICALLY CONTROLLING ACCESSED MULTICAST GROUP

摘要

A method for hierarchically controlling an access multicast group is disclosed, which divides the access authority control hierarchies of the multicast group and configures control rules for each authority control hierarchy. The method includes: performing authority control on an accessing user in a present authority control hierarchy according to the configured control rules, and if the user does not pass the authority control, then rejecting the user accessing the multicast group requested by the user; if the user passes the authority control, then going into the next authority control hierarchy to perform the authority control on the accessing user until accessing all the configured authority control hierarchies. Accordingly, a device for hierarchically controlling an access multicast group is provided, which includes: a division module, a control module, and a triggering module. Thus, the method and the device can hierarchically and flexibly control the on-demand multicast group of a user so as to improve the quality of the multicast group.
