A Survey of Proxy Caching Mechanisms for Multimedia Data Streams
نویسنده
چکیده
Although many web caching techniques have been developed to improve Web performance, existing proxy caching schemes do not support the multimedia data stream well. In this paper, we briefly describe the basic characteristics of steaming media caching and traditional web caching and discuss their dissimilarities. Then, we survey the proxy caching mechanisms for multimedia data streams, and finally outline potential research topics.

Proxy Caching for Quality Adaptive Multimedia Streams in the Internet: A Performance Perspective
Multimedia proxy caching (MCaching) presents a cost-effective solution to support large scale access to high quality multimedia streams over the Internet. However, introducing the notion of “quality” of cached streams adds a new dimension to the evaluation space and complicates the problem. This paper proposes a comprehensive framework for the evaluation of multimedia proxy caching mechanisms. ...
متن کاملProtocol Considerations for a Pre x-Caching Proxy for Multimedia Streams
The increasing popularity of multimedia streaming applications introduces new challenges in content distribution. Web-initiated multimedia streams typically experience high start-up delay, due to large protocol overheads and the poor delay, throughput, and loss properties of the Internet. Internet service providers can improve performance by caching the initial segment (the preex) of popular st...
متن کاملProxy Caching Mechanism for Multimedia Playback Streams in the Internet
Despite the success of proxy caching in the Web, proxy servers have not been used effectively for caching of Internet multimedia streams such as audio and video. Explosive growth in demand for web-based streaming applications justifies the need for caching popular streams at a proxy server close to the interested clients. Because of the need for congestion control in the Internet, multimedia st...
متن کاملCaching Techniques for Streaming Multimedia over the Internet
Existing solutions for streaming multimedia in the Internet do not scale in terms of object size and number of supported streams. Using separate unicast streams, for example, will overload both network and servers. While caching is the standard technique for improving scalability, existing caching schemes do not support streaming media well. In this paper, we propose a complete solution for cac...
متن کاملDesign Considerations for an RTSP - Based Pre x - Caching Proxy for Multimedia Streams
Multimedia streaming applications typically experience high start-up delay, due to large protocol overheads and the poor delay, throughput, and loss properties of the Internet. Internet service providers can improve performance by caching the initial segment (the preex) of popular streams at proxies near the requesting clients. This paper analyzes the protocol and architectural challenges of re...
