Analysis of educational media server workloads

This paper presents an extensive analysis of the client workloads for educational media servers at two major U.S. universities. The goals of the analysis include providing data for generating synthetic workloads, gaining insight into the design of streaming content distribution networks, and quantifying how much server bandwidth can be saved in interactive educational environments by using recently developed multicast streaming methods for stored content.
