We put emphasis on the piece selection module of server-side, and in this part we cite the RF-IPS algorithm proposed in the past. In the piece selection module, we also proposed a weighting function except the RF-IPS algorithm. Using this function we will find the best server peers effectively and quickly, it will enhance the performance of this system. We carry on experiments on RF-IPS algorithm, and the results show this algorithm is efficient. Overall, we believe that the RF-IPS algorithm is feasible to further improve system performance and provide a cost-effective P2P VOD service with acceptable user experience.展开更多

However, the daily hits （namely popularity） of different segments of a video is highly diverse, which means that taking the whole video as the basic storage unit may lead to redundancy of unpopular segment replicas and scarcity of popular segment replicas in the P2P storage network. To address this issue, we propose a video slicing mechanism （VSM） in which the whole video is sliced into small blocks （20 MB, for instance）. Under VSM, peers can moderately remove unpopular blocks from and accordingly add popular ones into their contributed hard disk storage, which increases the usage of peers＇ contributed resource （storage and bandwidth）. To reasonably assign bandwidth among peers with different download capacity, we propose a moderate prefetching strategy （MPS） based on VSM. Under MPS, when the amount of prefetched content reaches the predefined threshold, peers immediately stop prefetching video content and then release occupied bandwidth for others. A stochastic model is established to analyze the performance of the MPS and it is found that perfect playback continuity can be got under MPS. Then the MPS is applied to PPLive VoD system （one of the largest P2P VoD systems in China） and measurement results demonstrate that low server load and perfect user satisfaction can be achieved. Also, the server bandwidth contribution of PPLive VoD system under MPS （namely 5%） is much lower than that of UUSee VoD system （namely 30%）.展开更多

Thus the switch of downloading from other peers （P2P） and server （HTTP） exists. This paper uses the proportion of P2P downloading amount （PPDA） during the video watching process to measure server load. This article is interested in finding a better strategy or switch rule between P2P and HTTP downloading for saving server bandwidth. The authors suggest and model a kind of switch rule based on local buffer amount, using mathematical theory of Brownian motion. It can effectively alleviate the impact of P2P rate fluctuation, reduce the switch times and improve the PPDA by at least 3%-5% on the basis of the former switch rule, which means substantial cost can be saved. Particularly the PPDA is related with the ratio of playback bit rate to the HTTP downloading rate which means the PPDA can be restricted by controlling the ratio in the real-world system. Though the result comes from constant bit rate （CBR） video supposition, it provides perspective and method for variable bit rate （VBR） application, and valuable insights for the future development of P2P VoD system.展开更多
