Research of the Streaming Media System Architecture Based on Net-RAID

In the typical streaming media system, the streaming media server is system bottleneck with the expansion of Internet subscribers. This paper proposes an innovational high performance streaming media system architecture (HPSMS) based on the logical separation of streaming media transport protocol. The system avoids expensive store-and-forward data copies between streaming media server and storage devices, improves the system performance greatly. The system bandwidth continuously increases with the expansion of storage system capacity is the highlight. The performance of the proposed HPSMS is evaluated through a practical prototype implementation.
