The switch in video delivery from traditional medium to Over-The-Top (OTT) based services has been a game changer for stakeholders of the media delivery ecosystem. It has changed the value chain enabling Content Delivery Networks and Content Providers to take the lion's share at the expense of Internet/Network Service Providers. Even if establishing collaboration between them naturally appears as...
Content Aware Networks define architectures capable of providing network, server context and user context-awareness to the selection of the appropriate content server, from which the Multimedia stream will be transmitted. The number and nature of the parameters involved in content server selection require enhanced multi-criteria decision algorithms in order to effectively use the whole information...
Creation and efficient distribution of new rich media services is foreseen to play a key role in the Future Internet. Emerging FI architectures should be able to fully support and facilitate all kinds of current and future media-oriented applications. The architecture illustrated in this paper facilitates the deployment of an integrated Media Ecosystem, where all users can efficiently not only have...
On-demand video delivery with a content delivery network (CDN) solely based on set-top-boxes has been introduced. In previous works, videos are separated into pieces and randomly stored in boxes, requests from clients being redirected to the nearest boxes. However, random strategy may lead to some costly and inefficient allocation. For example, a video part could be placed much further than other...
On-demand video delivery with a content delivery network (CDN) solely based on set-top-boxes (STB) has been introduced recently. This architecture combines the load balancing and fault tolerating features of peer-to-peer systems with stableness of a server based CDN, by storing contents in STBs. Since STBs usually have much longer online time than traditional PC based peers, they are ideal for on-demand...
