چکیده
Multicast delivery can improve the scalability of Video-On-Demand (VOD) systems by allowing multiple customers to share one set of video server and network resources. In such a system, providing customer interactivity can be diicult. In this paper we overview our work which addresses how interactivity may be accomplished in a multicast delivery environment and analyzes the performance of such systems.

The Use of Multicast Delivery to Provide a Scalable and Interactive Video-on-Demand Service
In typical proposals for Video-On-Demand (VOD) systems, customers are serviced individually by allocating and dedicating a transmission channel and a set of server resources to each customer. This approach leads to an expensive-to-operate, non-scalable system. We consider a VOD system that uses multicast delivery to service multiple customers with a single set of resources. The use of multicast...

In recent years a new type of wireless networks named wireless mesh networks has drawn the attention of researchers. In order to increase the capacity of mesh network, nodes are equipped with multiple radios tuned on multiple channels emerging multi radio multi channel wireless mesh networks. Therefore, the main challenge of these networks is how to properly assign the channels to the radios. O...
متن کاملAn Alternative Paradigm for Scalable On-Demand Applications: Evaluating and Deploying the Interactive Multimedia Jukebox
ÐStraightforward, one-way delivery of audio/video through television sets has existed for many decades. In the 1980s, new services like pay-per-view and video-on-demand were touted as the akiller applicationso for interactive TV. However, the hype quickly died away, leaving only hard technical problems and costly systems. As an alternative, we propose a new jukebox paradigm offering flexibility...
متن کاملProviding scalable on-demand interactive video service by means of multicasting and client buffering
True-VOD provides interactive on-demand (i.e., virtually zero start-up delay) video service by allocating each user a dedicated stream. Such streaming technique, however, cannot scale up to accommodate a large number of users. A more scalable solution is to use multicasting and client buffering. In this paper, we propose a client-initiated (client-pull) on-demand scheme in which short unicast s...
