Caching is one of the applied techniques for enhancing the scalability of streaming system and reducing the workload of server/network. Aiming at the characteristics of broadband network in community, we propose a popularity-based server-proxy caching strategy for streaming medias, and implement the prototype of streaming proxy caching based on this strategy, using RTSP as control protocol and RTP for content transport. This system can play a role in decreasing server load, reducing the traffic from streaming server to proxy, and improving the start-up latency of the client.

It is expected that by 2003 continuous media will account for more than 50% of the data available on origin servers, this will provoke a significant change in Internet workload.

Due to the high bandwidth requirements and the long-lived nature of digital video, streaming server loads and network bandwidths are proven to be major limiting factors. Aiming at the characteristics of broadband network in residential areas, this paper proposes a popularity-based server-proxy caching strategy for streaming media. According to a streaming media popularity on streaming server and proxy, this strategy caches the content of the streaming media partially or completely. The paper also proposes two formulas that calculate the popularity coefficient of a streaming media on server and proxy, and caching replacement policy. As expected, this strategy decreases the server load, reduces the traffic from streaming server to proxy, and improves client start-up latency.展开更多
