In content delivery networks (CDNs), caches are resources that must be allocated. For that purpose, videos’ popularity knowledge helps to make efficient decisions about which videos should be cached. Thus, we must be able to anticipate future needs in terms of requested videos. To do this, we rely on the requests history. This paper focuses on predicting the videos’ popularity: the daily number of...
Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) are faced with an increasing and time varying demand of video contents. Their ability to promptly react to this demand is a success factor. Caching helps, but the question is: which contents to cache? Considering that the most popular contents should be cached, this paper focuses on how to predict the popularity of video contents. With real traces extracted from YouTube,...
Game theory is a powerful tool that has recently been used in networks to improve the end users' quality of experience (e.g. decreased response time, higher delivery rate). In this paper, we propose to use game theory in the context of Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) to organize video contents into clusters having similar request profiles. The popularity of each content in the cluster can be determined...
In Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), knowing the popularity of video content helps the manager to take efficient decisions about which video content should be cached near the end users and also about the duplication degree of each video to satisfy the end user Quality of Experience. This paper focuses on predicting the popularity of video content, in terms of the number of requests. For that purpose,...
Machine learning techniques can be used to improve the quality of experience for the end users of Content Delivery Networks (CDNs). In a CDN, the most popular video contents are cached near the end-users in order to minimize the contents delivery latency. The idea developed hereafter consists in using prediction techniques to evaluate the future popularity of video contents in order to decide which...
Content delivery networks (CDNs) face a large and continuously increasing number of users solicitations for video contents. In this paper, we focus on the prediction of popularity evolution of video contents. Based on the observation of past solicitations of individual video contents, individual future solicitations are predicted. We compare different prediction strategies: SES, DES and Basic. The...
