includes three core functions: content delivery network (CDN), transparent internet caching (TIC), and service and performance enhancers (S&PEs). These functions enable fixed and mobile operators to: create new revenue streams via wholesale content distribution and delivery; differentiate through S&PE; and reduce operational costs and capital expenditure. Handling the massive amount of OTT or u...

In content services where people purchase and download large-volume contents, minimizing network traffic is crucial for the service provider and the network operator since they want to lower the cost charged for bandwidth and the cost for network infrastructure, respectively. Traffic localization is an effective way of reducing network traffic. Network traffic is localized when a client can obt...

Today’s Internet is prominently used for content distribution. Various platforms such as content delivery networks (CDNs) have become an integral part of the digital content ecosystem. Most recently, the information-centric networking (ICN) paradigm proposes the adoption of native content naming for secure and efficient content delivery. This further enhances the flexibility of content access w...

Many ‘Cloud Storage’ providers have launched in the last two years, providing internet accessible data storage and delivery in several continents that is backed by rigourous Service Level Agreements (SLAs), guaranteeing specific performance and uptime targets. The facilities offered by these providers is leveraged by developers via provider-specific Web Service APIs. For content creators, these...

Many SMEs and non-profit organizations suffer when their Web servers become unavailable due to flash crowd effects when their web site becomes popular. One of the solutions to the flash-crowd problem is to place the web site on a scalable CDN (Content Delivery Network) that replicates the content and distributes the load in order to improve its response time. In this paper, we present our appro...

A mobile streaming media content delivery network (MSM-CDN) overlay system provides a scalable method for delivering media streams to a large number of clients. With the availability of such a streaming infrastucture, it becomes possible to implement enhanced media services. For example, the wide range and variability of network conditions, as well as processing and display capabilities of thes...

This technology boosts the distribution of ...

Content availability has become increasingly important for the Internet delivery chain. In order to enhance availability, content distribution network (CDN) providers have invested in hybrid designs that combines resources from datacenter and edge networks. Although, to deliver videos with an outstanding availability and meet the increasing user expectations, hybrid CDNs must enforce strict QoS...

With the growth of the Internet over the last decade, a key challenge for Internet infrastructure has been delivering increasingly large-scale content to a growing user population. CDN and P2P are two dominant technologies to improve distribution effectiveness. CDN may reduce the user-perceived latency, but it has shortage of expensive deployment. P2P can decrease the deployment cost, while it ...

One strategy for alleviating excess latency (delay) in the Internet is the caching of web content at multiple locations. This reduces the number of hops necessary to reach the desired content. This strategy is used for web content such as html pages, images, streaming video, and Internet radio. The network of servers which store this content, and the collections of objects stored on each server...
