Recently, a new server-less architecture is proposed for building low-cost yet scalable video streaming systems. Compare to conventional client-server-based video streaming systems, this server-less architecture does not need any dedicated video server and yet is highly scalable. Video data are distributed among user hosts and these hosts cooperate to stream video data to one another. Thus as n...

Due to the limited storage space in video proxy server, it is often required to replace the old video data which is not serviced for a long time with the newly requested video. This replacement causes the service delay and increase of network traffic. To circumvent this problem, we present a virtual caching technique for an efficient video streaming service in video proxy server. For this purpo...

These Real-time video streaming over networks operates under stringent network resource constraints, with multiple video clients competing for limited network resources. In this paper, we study the problem of bandwidth allocation for video transmission over heterogeneous networks, with multiple video clients connecting to the video server simultaneously and demanding for the video services, and...

Most existing commercial video servers are designed for a single server. Consequently, the capacity of the system in terms of maximum sustainable concurrent sessions is limited by the performance of the video server hardware. This paper proposes and analyzes the performance of a novel parallel video server architecture where video data are striped across an array of autonomous servers. The arch...

In this paper, we consider a distributed video server environment where video movies need not be stored entirely in one server. Blocks of a video movie are allowed to be distributed and replicated over multiple video servers. Customers are served by one video server. This video server, termed originating server, might have to interact with other servers for downloading missing blocks of the req...

In video-on-demand multimedia systems, the data has to be delivered to the consumer at regular intervals to deliver smooth playback of video streams. A video-on-demand server has to schedule the service of individual streams to ensure such a smooth delivery of video data. We will present scheduling solutions for individual components of service in a multiprocessor based video server.

With the growth of bandwidth, video/audio streaming services have become popular, and are considered a future killer application on the Internet. Many researches proposed several possible technologies for streaming services, such as hot-video broadcasting, caching, content delivery network (CDN), and peer-to-peer communications. In the paper, we propose a new streaming architecture combining th...

This paper describes the design and implementation of video conference system over the hybrid type peer-to-peer networks. The proposed video conference system has hybrid type Peer to Peer networks based on a client-server and peer-to-peer, where client-server is used for exchange of account management, client list and status information and peer-to-peer is used for the real time video conferenc...
