On-Demand Multicast Streaming Using Collaborative Prefix Caching
نویسندگان
چکیده
Increasing mass-market acceptance of on-demand streaming services motivates us to seek new innovations in the way we deliver media content over networks. An architecture is proposed in which edge-resources in a peer-to-peer network assist in the provision of fullyinteractive on-demand streaming services based on multicast. This approach represents a synergy between multicast batching, proxy prefix caching and collaborative caching of media content. The approach differs from other work in its use of long-term caching of content across streaming sessions. The proposed approach has been evaluated using a highly detailed network simulation that models real-world network (IPv6) and streaming (RTSP) protocols and the Pastry overlay network. Results demonstrate that substantial reductions in server bandwidth can be achieved with low client storage and bandwidth overhead.

Proxy Caching for Video on Demand Systems in Multicasting Networks
Streaming high quality videos consumes a significant amount of network resources. Researchers proposed prefix caching schemes to reduce bandwidth usage costs in streaming videos. In this paper, we introduce a wide-scale cost model for proxy caching that takes bandwidth consumption into consideration over an entire network for different multicasting tree topologies. The new cost model quantifies...
متن کاملA Novel Caching Strategy in Video-on-Demand (VoD) Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Networks Based on Complex Network Theory
The popularity of video-on-demand (VoD) streaming has grown dramatically over the World Wide Web. Most users in VoD P2P networks have to wait a long time in order to access their requesting videos. Therefore, reducing waiting time to access videos is the main challenge for VoD P2P networks. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for caching video based on peers' priority and video's popula...

متن کاملChapter 1 PROXY CACHING FOR MEDIA STREAMING OVER THE INTERNET
Streaming media has contributed to a significant amount of today’s Internet traffic. Like conventional web objects (e.g., HTML pages and images), media objects can benefit from proxy caching; yet their unique features such as huge size and high bandwidth demand imply that conventional proxy caching strategies have to be substantially revised. This article discusses the critical issues and chall...
