Improving Scalability of VoD Systems by Optimal Exploitation of Storage and Multicast

Today, video-on-demand (VoD) systems are challenged by a growing number of users, growing sizes of libraries, and increasing video streaming rates. Therefore, scalability and the bandwidth efficiency of VoD systems have become important considerations. In this paper, we propose a scalable and bandwidth efficient delivery scheme for VoD systems, which optimally exploits the storage and multicast capabilities to reduce the consumption of server...
