A Cluster-Based Active Router Architecture Supporting Video/Audio Stream Transcoding Service
نویسندگان
چکیده
Active routers allow computation to be performed within the network by processing packets when they pass through the routers. We design and implement a cluster-based active router system that provides multimedia stream transcoding service. The performance of the system is evaluated with three different load balancing schemes. We evaluate the out-of-order phenomenon and analyze the tradeoff between this phenomenon and the processing speed. We present a stream-based round robin algorithm for the transcoding service offered in the router and demonstrate its superiority over the conventional round-robin scheme. The main design criteria are to minimize the total transcoding time and maintain the order of media units for each outgoing stream.

CLARA: A CLuster-based Active Router Architecture
Personalization of web-based content coupled with a proliferation of heterogeneous terminals and devices will dramatically increase the need for computational services. Current trends towards thin clients make it difficult to perform such computation at the terminal end, while service providers frequently out-source computation, especially when operating under varying load. Today, most computat...
متن کاملCost-Efficient and Robust On-Demand Video Stream Transcoding Using Heterogeneous Cloud Services
Video streams, either in the form of Video On-Demand (VOD) or live streaming, usually have to be converted (i.e., transcoded) to match the characteristics of viewers’ devices (e.g., in terms of spatial resolution or supported formats). Transcoding is a computationally expensive and time-consuming operation. Therefore, streaming service providers have to store numerous transcoded versions of a g...

Previously, we described a social media cloud computing service environment (SMCCSE). This SMCCSE supports the development of social networking services (SNSs) that include audio, image, and video formats. A social media cloud computing PaaS platform, a core component in a SMCCSE, processes large amounts of social media in a parallel and distributed manner for supporting a reliable SNS. Here, w...

To deliver streaming video over wireless networks is an important component for most interactive multimedia applications running on personal wireless handset devices. Such personal devices have to be inexpensive, compact, and lightweight. Under certain conditions, the bandwidth of a coded video stream needs to be drastically reduced. We propose an efficient mechanism for improving the quality o...
