Multimedia Service using Equi-loaded Distributed web-cache in Wire/Wireless LAN

This paper proposes multimedia service system using equi-loaded distributed web-caching mechanism in the wire/wireless network environment. This proposed multimedia service system is composed of integrated switching agent (ISA), several proxies and access points(APs) with buffer in wire/wireless LAN. The ISA is the core of this system and performs switching the streams transmitted from server to proxies. The proxies stores the streams serviced to the users and the loads of them are evenly distributed by the ISA. The APs with buffer take charge of connection to the proxies and the multimedia server on Internet, and reduce service delay for mobile devices. We confirm that this system provides equi-loaded proxies, and reduces the amount of use of network resources and the load of multimedia server in wire and wireless network by the aid of ISA.
