The inherent instability and unreliability of peer-to-peer networks introduce several fundamental engineering challenges to multimedia streaming over peer-to-peer networks. First,...
This paper investigates randomization and replication as strategies to achieve reliable performance in disk arrays targeted for video-on-demand (VoD) workloads. A disk array can p...
This paper addresses the problem of fault resilience of overlay-based live media streaming from two aspects: (1) how to construct a stable multicast tree that minimizes the negati...
A novel solution to the reliable multicast problem is the “digital fountain” approach, in which data is encoded with an erasure protection code before transmission, and receiv...
We have architected and evaluated a new kind of data resource, one that is composed of a logical collection of ephemeral data streams that could be viewed as a collection of publi...
