Video on Demand: Is It Feasible?
نویسنده
چکیده
This short paper examines the technological feasibility of a "video on demand service that is provided from a centralized location over a digital network. The video on demand service is considered to be a service similar to the currently popular videotape rental services. The problem is divided into two parts: communications and database access. It is argued that the incremental communications cost is small, as long as one assumes that there is already a network with sufficient bandwidth to the customer. A solution to the database access problem is presented which could be implemented with technology available in no more than 10 years.

A 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...
