Multimedia Proxy Caching for Video Streaming Applications

This paper deals with the use of proxy servers to cache streaming video objects. In this paper, we describe a streaming architecture for layered video objects that uses the concept of layered caching. A new replacement policy is proposed, which is based on the playout time of a video object at the client. We define a new quality metric that takes the number of layers as well as the importance o...

Stochastic Model Based Proxy Servers Architecture for VoD to Achieve Reduced Client Waiting Time

In a video on demand system, the main video repository may be far away from the user and generally has limited streaming capacities. Since a high quality video’s size is huge, it requires high bandwidth for streaming over the internet. In order to achieve a higher video hit ratio, reduced client waiting time, distributed server’s architecture can be used, in which multiple local servers are pla...

Quality-Aware Cooperative Proxy Caching for Video Streaming Services

By applying a proxy mechanism widely used in WWW systems to video streaming systems, low-delay and high-quality video distribution can be accomplished without imposing extra load on the system. The video streaming system proposed in this paper consists of a video server and multiple proxy servers. In our mechanism, proxies communicate with each other and retrieve missing video data from an appr...
