Abstract
A hot live video determining method is provided. A network device first obtains a plurality of video request messages for a target video; then determines statistical information of the target video based on the plurality of video request messages, where the statistical information includes a quantity of video request messages for the target video that are obtained in specified duration and fragment information of a video fragment requested in each video request message; and finally determines, based on the statistical information, whether the target video is a hot live video. According to the method, the network device can identify the hot live video in the Internet, so the network device can carry the hot live video in a multicast manner, to avoid breakdown that is of a network and a video server and that is caused by transmitting the hot live video in a unicast method.
