Abstract
Embodiments of this application provide a peer-to-peer network scheduling method. The method includes: obtaining a fragment file list, where the fragment file list includes information about a plurality of fragment files, each fragment file includes one or more segments, and each segment corresponds to one segment number; downloading a missing segment in a target fragment file from another client device based on a downloading progress of downloading each segment of the target fragment file by each client device; and when a player requests the target fragment file, stopping downloading the missing segment in the target fragment file from the another client device, and downloading the missing segment in the target fragment file from a CDN server. According to the embodiments of this application, a computation amount and resource consumption of a Tracker server can be reduced, and data transmission efficiency of a P2P network can be improved.
