Collaborative Media Streaming Services based on Content Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Content networks (CNs) are being introduced to extend content distribution networks (CDNs) with content creation, modification, management, and placement mechanisms to support value-added services and modern applications. This paper presents a CN-based architecture supporting collaborative media streaming services which allow a synchronous group of users to select, watch and control a multimedia session. In particular a hierarchical control protocol for cooperative media streaming control is defined and analyzed through simulation.

A hierarchical control protocol for group-oriented playbacks supported by content distribution networks
Content distribution networks have recently been introduced as a more efficient alternative to centralized servers for the delivery of static content as well as media streaming services ranging from TV broadcasts to video on-demand. Content Distribution Networks can also efficiently provide collaborative playback service, which allows a synchronous group of users to select, simultaneously watch...
متن کاملOn-Demand Multicast Streaming Using Collaborative Prefix Caching
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 pre...
متن کاملAn architecture for componentized, network-based media services
We present MSA (Media Services Architecture), a flexible, general architecture for requesting, configuring, and running services that operate on streaming audio and video as it flows through the network. MSA decomposes requested media services into modular processing components that may be distributed to servers throughout the network and which intercommunicate via standard streaming protocols....
متن کاملModeling and generating realistic streaming media server workloads
Currently, Internet hosting centers and content distribution networks leverage statistical multiplexing to meet the performance requirements of a number of competing hosted network services. Developing efficient resource allocation mechanisms for such services requires an understanding of both the short-term and long-term behavior of client access patterns to these competing services. At the sa...
متن کاملEnhanced Streaming Services in a Content Distribution Network
W ith the emergence of broadband access networks and powerful personal computer systems, the demand for network-delivered full-motion streaming video is growing. While the traditional Web service model can be applied to IP-based streaming content, the user experience of quality does not compare favorably with cable, satellite, or broadcast television. On the other hand, current television broad...
