High latency and loss rates in the Internet make it difficult to stream audio and video without
introducing a large playback delay. To address these problems, we propose a prefix caching …

Variable-bit-rate (VBR) compressed video can exhibit significant multiple-time-scale bit-rate
variability. In this paper we consider the transmission of stored video from a server to a client …

VBR compressed video is known to exhibit significant, multiple-time-scale bit rate variability.
In this paper, we consider the transmission of stored video from a server to a client across a …

The transfer of prerecorded, compressed variable-bit-rate video requires multimedia
services to support large fluctuations in bandwidth requirements on multiple time scales …

Though the integrated services model and resource reservation protocol (RSVP) provide
support for quality of service, in the current Internet only best-effort traffic is widely supported …

Bandwidth smoothing techniques for stored video perform end to end workahead
transmission of frames into the client playback buffer, in advance of their display times. Such …

Proxy caching has been used to speed up Web browsing and reduce networking costs. In
this paper, we study the extension of proxy caching techniques to streaming video …

Technology has spurred the growth of huge image and video libraries, many growing into
the hundreds of terabytes. As a result there is a great demand among organizations for the …

Due to the high bandwidth requirement and rate variability of compressed video, delivering
video across wide area networks (WANs) is a challenging issue. Proxy servers have been …

The burstiness of compressed video complicates the provisioning of network resources for
emerging multimedia services. For stored video applications, the server can smooth the …
