There are many streaming video protocols, but most are proprietary, and while the client is free, the server is not. The proprietary nature of the protocol also precludes investigation on its congestion control mechanism, which is fundamental for the well being of a best-effort network. In this work we present a client-server streaming video application that bases its transport on MMTP, the Mul...

In this paper, the video streaming is proposed for multiple clients network. The scalable video is delivered from server to multiple clients over different access networks, aimed to reduce the distortion of received videos. The video present in database of server. The video characteristic is captured in this paper. Integer programming is proposed for the deterministic packet scheduling. It is v...

This study focuses on the mobile video delivery from a video server to a multi-homed client with a network of heterogeneous wireless. Joint Source-Channel Coding is effectively used to transmit video over bandwidth-limited, noisy wireless networks. But most existing JSCC methods only consider single path video transmission of the server and the client network. The problem will become more compl...

Video-over-IP applications have recently attracted a large number of users on the Internet. Traditional clientserver based video streaming solutions incur expensive bandwidth provision cost on the server. Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networking is a new paradigm to build distributed network applications. Recently, several P2P streaming systems have been deployed to provide live and on-demand video stream...

A multi-clip query requests multiple video clips. In this paper we address the multi-clip query optimization problem. We propose a new heuristics called Restricted Search Interval that maximizes clip sharing between queries and consequently reduces the workload of the video server. The experimental results show that the suggested heuristics reduces the server workload by about 68.7% in comparis...

Video servers must use large disk arrays to provide the huge amount of storage capacity and bandwidth needed. As the number of disk drives increases, the probability of a video server failure increases too. We propose a redundancy scheme that uses both RAID 5 techniques and mirroring to make a video server tolerant against all single disk failures. Our approach provides a unified framework for ...

Real-time scheduling is important for modern computer systems to support increasingly popular multimedia applications. In this paper, we consider a simple video server that receives the commands from clients and sends the video data without error occurred. In the video server, there is one parent thread for dealing with the arrival video tasks. After receiving a new video task from a client, a ...

Broadcasting protocols reduce the cost of video-ondemand services by distributing more efficiently videos that are likely to be simultaneously watched by several viewers. Unfortunately, they do not allow the customer to pause, move fast forward or backward while watching a video. We present an interactive pagoda broadcasting protocol that provides these functions at a very reasonable cost. Our ...

Recently, a number of researchers have started to investigate new video-on-demand (VoD) architectures using batching, patching and periodic broadcasting. These architectures, compared to traditional unicast VoD systems, are much more scalable and can serve thousands or even millions of clients concurrently. Nevertheless, existing studies are usually focused on architectural issues. The problem ...

—Guarantees of quality-of-service (QoS) in the real-time transmission of stored video on the Internet is a challenging task for the success of many video on demand (VoD) applications. Two QoS classes have been specified by the IETF Integrated Services (intserv) Working Group: Guaranteed Services and Controlled-Load Services. For both of them, it is necessary to provide traffic sources with the ...
