Video on demand (VoD) services for a large number of users, in a scalable way, is a
challenging problem. Distributed designs for VoD services are a solution for the high costs …

Abstract Video on Demand (VoD) services are very appealing these days. In this work we
discuss four distinct altematives for the architecture of a VoD semer and compare their …

It has been a challenging issue to provide digital quality multimedia data stream to the
remote user through the distributed system. The main aspects to design the real distributed …

Abstract Distributed Video-on-Demand Servers (DVS) are proposed as a solution to the
limited streaming capacity and null scalability of large-scale centralized systems. Server …

Abstract Planning Video-on-Demand (VoD) services based on the server architecture and
the available equipment is always a challenging task. We created a formal model to support …

Abstract Distributed Video-on-Demand (VoD) systems are expected to be one of the most
important services supported by the next generation of high-speed networks, video servers …

Next Generation Network (NGN) provides multimedia services over broadband based
networks, which supports high definition TV (HDTV), and DVD quality video-on-demand …

As network access costs, especially over the last mile, decrease and broadband access
becomes more available to the home user, the idea of video-on-demand (VoD) as an …

Various architectures have been proposed and implemented to handle the rapid growth in
demand for video delivering technologies. This paper implements and thoroughly examines …

Distributed VOD server is a solution to the problem of the capacity limit posed by single
server system. There needs to be an algorithm for the head-end to use to evaluate the …
