In this paper we present a novel network-conscious approach to the problem of end-to-end
video delivery over wide-area networks using proxy servers situated between local-area …

Real-time distribution of stored video over wide-area networks (WANs) is a crucial
component of many emerging distributed multimedia applications. The heterogeneity in 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 …

We focus on the problem of enabling video-on-demand services on the Internet. We propose
a cost-effective solution called caching agent, an overlay architecture consisting of caching …

In this paper, we address the problem of efficiently streaming a set of heterogeneous videos
from a remote server through a proxy to multiple asynchronous clients so that they can …

In this paper, we address the problem of efficiently streaming a set of heterogeneous videos
from a remote server through a proxy to multiple asynchronous clients so that they can …

We present a proxy-assisted video delivery architecture that can simultaneously reduce the
resources requirements at the central server and the service latency experienced by clients …

With the deployment of multimedia service proxies at different locations in the networks, it is
possible to create an application-level media service proxy network. Multimedia sources and …

The bandwidth-intensive and long-lived nature of high quality digital video makes it a
challenging problem to transmit such video over the Internet. In this paper, we propose a …

Video distribution over the Internet poses many challenges. Due to the best-effort nature of
today's public data networks, end system applications cannot rely on either bandwidth or …
