Currently media consumption over fixed/mobile Internet is mostly conducted by adaptive media streaming technology such as DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP), which is an ISO/IEC MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) standard, or some other technologies similar to DASH. All these heavily depend on the HTTP caches that ISPs (Internet Service Providers) are obliged to provide sufficiently to make sure fast enough Web services. As a result, as the number of media streaming users increases, ISPs' burden for HTTP cache has been greatly increased rather than CDN (Content Delivery Network) providers' server burden. Hence ISPs charge traffic cost to CDN providers to compensate for the increased cost of HTTP caches. Recently in order to reduce the traffic cost of CDN providers, P2P (Peer-to-Peer)-assisted DASH system was proposed and a peer selection algorithm that maximally reduces CDN provides' traffic cost was investigated for this system. This algorithm, however, tends to concentrate the burden upon the selected peer. This paper proposes a new peer selection algorithm that distributes the burden among multiple peers while maintaining the proper reduction level of the CDN providers' cost. Through implementation of the new algorithm in a Web-based media streaming system using WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) standard APIs, it demonstrates its effectiveness with experimental results.

인터넷 이용자의 증가와 멀티미디어 등 대용량 콘텐츠에 대한 수요의 증가로 인해 데이터 트래픽은 기하 급수적으로 늘어나는 데 비해 네트웍 성능향상에 대한 투자는 이에 미치지 못함으로서 결과적으로 인터넷은 트래픽의 병목현상, 즉 정체현상이 발생하게 되었으며 점차 그 정도가 심해지고 있다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 제안하는 방안이 바로 전략적 CDN(Content Delivery Network) 이다. 현실적으로, 본 연구는 물리적인 망 증설만으로는 트래픽 체증 문제를 해결하기는 어려우므로 주요 ISP 네트웍에 전략적 캐시서버를 설치하여 CP의 콘텐츠를 각 ISP 네트웍마다 분산하여 저장하고 이용자의 요청 시 이용자의 인터넷 회선이 물려 있는 ISP 네트웍에서 바로 콘텐츠를 전송하여 데이터 손실과 속도 저하 등의 문제를 해결하는 CDN의 구성과 그 효과를 실증적으로 밝혔다.

CDN(Content Delivery Network)은 사용자의 콘텐츠 요청에 대해 캐쉬 서버의 부하를 줄이기 위해 사용자와 가장 인접한 캐쉬 서버를 통하여 사용자에게 보다 빠르게 콘텐츠를 제공 하도록 되어있다. 현재까지의 연구는 대용량 콘텐츠 스트리밍 서비스를 위한 속도적 측면만 고려하고 있으며 콘텐츠를 빠르게 제공하기 위하여 같은 콘텐츠를 여러 캐싱서버로 분산하여 보안성이 충분하지 못한 단점이 있다. 하지만 사용자에게 충분한 보안성을 갖춘 대용량 콘텐츠를 제공하려면 암호화 연산의 증가로 인하여, 속도적 측면이 감소하므로 CDN의 본연의 기능을 잃을 수 있다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 해시기반 스크램블링을 이용한 암호화 기법의 보안의 취약성을 분석하고 이를 극복하기 위해 보안성을 향상시킨 RECOS(Robust Encryption for COntent Secure)기법을 제안한다. 제안 기법은 시뮬레이션에서 기존 기법과 제안 기법의 속도를 비교하였으며, 기존 기법의 취약성 분석을 통하여 제안 기법의 향상된 보안성을 보였다. 결과적으로 기존의 해시기반 암호화 기법과 비교하여 속도에 차이가 거의 없음에도 불구하고 향상된 보안성을 보였다.

The appearance of on-demand business model of multimedia contents is one of the biggest changes in the broadband Internet which aims at the high-speed Internet users. Currently the interest in the webcasting service, a new converged service of the broadcasting and the telecommunications, has been increased. However the quality of service is not guaranteed due to the bottleneck problem in a middle-mile as the fundamental limit of the Internet, and has not been improved greatly due to the small-scaled operators of the webcasting services. This study suggests a new business model of the multi-channel satellite webcasting service based on the satellite multicasting and content delivery network, which guarantees the quality of service and channelizes the contents by the type or by the special purpose.

We propose a seamless IPTV transport technology of mobile device. This technology uses multiple interfaces of wireless communication on mobile device. This proposal for transportation of mobile IPTV contents is more mobile and adaptable than other wireless technologies that are currently being used. Algorithm of proposed technology is as follow. When the signal strength of the connected wireless network interface of mobile device is getting lower than specified level, another wireless network interface is connected to continue downloading the IPTV contents in advance. Another connection is maintained until the signal strength of the first connected interface is stable or the interface is connected to another base station (or AP) that have good signal strength. For more seamless services, we consider classifying the packets of mobile IPTV and using dynamic content quality select techniques. Dynamic content quality selection is based on notifying transfer rate to the content delivery network (CDN) server. The proposed technology is expected to use efficiently with both mobile IPTV and the transportation of mobile P2P/P4P.

In this paper, optimized media data retrieval and transmission based on the Hybrid CDN/P2P architecture and selective storage through user's prediction of requestability enable seamless data transfer to users and reduction of unnecessary traffic. We also propose a new media management method to minimize the possibility of transmission delay and packet loss so that media can be utilized in real time. To this end, we construct each media into logical segments, continuously compute weights for each segment, and determine whether to store segment data based on the calculated weights. We also designate scattered computing nodes on the network as local groups by distance and ensure that storage space is efficiently shared and utilized within those groups. Experiments conducted to verify the efficiency of the proposed technique have shown that the proposed method yields a relatively good performance evaluation compared to the existing methods, which can enable both initial latency reduction and seamless transmission.

Since the number of user-requests increases dramatically on the Internet, the servers and networks can be swamped unexpectedly without any prior notice. Therefore, the end-users are waiting or refused for the responses of the contents from the originating servers. To solve this problem, it has been considered that a distributed web caching system efficiently utilizes structural elements of the network. Because a distributed web caching system uses the caches that are close to end-users on the network, it transmits the contents to users faster than the original network system. This paper proposes a simple client-based distributed web caching system(2HRCS) that client can directly perform object allocation and load balancing without an additional DNS for load balancing in CARP (Cache Array Routing Protocol) and GHS (Global Hosting System) that are the recent distributed web caching system protocol. The proposed system reduces the cost of setup and operation by removing DNS that needs to balance the load in the existing system. The system has clients with consistent hashing method, so it extends its environment to other distributed web caching system that has caches of different capacity. A distributed web caching system is composed and tested to evaluate the performance. As a result, it shows superior performance to consistent hashing system. Because this system can keep performance of the existing system and reduce costs, it has the advantage of constructing medium or small scale CDN (Contents Delivery Network).

For a P2P network, the contents distribution is a very important service because the contents provider is not fixed. And in the P2P media streaming, a request peer replays and saves media data simultaneously, and after streaming it acts as a new source peer providing media files to other peers. Therefore streaming and file saying operations should be simultaneously carried out in order to distribute contents through the P2P network. In this paper, a P2P multi-source media streaming system which can replay the contents data during downloading is proposed and implemented. The system reduces the user response time and the number of simultaneous user increases more than two times. Moreover, transmitting a part of media file makes fast distribution and diffusion of contents possible.

Recently, the importance of IPTV providing multimedia service over IP based networks managed to provide the required level of quality of service and experience, security, interactivity and reliability has been gradually increasing by the commercialization of its service. However, the original purposes of IPTV service - contents are produced and consumed anytime, anywhere, and over any device at the same time - have not been satisfied by service providers because most services offered by service providers depend on closed IPTV platform. In this paper, we propose an open IPTV service platform that an individual or small company can easily produce contents and offer IPTV service independently from the existing closed IPTV platform.. The proposed IPTV platform exploits overlay multicast scheme to offer reasonable service under the environment where network bandwidth and processor resource are limited. It also uses CDN-like scheme to ensure the quality of transmitted contents. The performance evaluation shows that the proposed IPTV platform has the possibility of being an open IPTV platform considering its results such as the quality of transmitted contents, the transmission rate, the channel zapping time, and so on. It also shows that proposed IPTV platform could be applied to real IPTV service with continuous enhancement of its functions and user interfaces.
