HTTP 기반의 CDN이 성공적으로 사용자들에게 서비스를 제공하지만, 대용량 콘텐츠 전송하기에는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 클라이언트나 서버의 수정 없이 기존의 HTTP CDN을 효율적인 제어를 통해 대용량 콘텐츠를 전송하는 방법에 대해 논의한다. 제안된 방법은 전송을 위해 필요한 자원의 소모를 줄이고, 기존 CDN의 신뢰성을 향상시킨다.

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.

Recently the huge demand for Internet media streaming has dramatically increased the cost of the CDN (Content Delivery Network) and the need for a means to reduce it is increasing day by day. In this situation, a P2P-assisted DASH technology has recently emerged, which uses P2P (Peer-to-Peer) communications based on WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) standards to reduce the CDN cost. This paper proposes an algorithm that can significantly improve CDN cost savings in this technology by selecting peers based on the transport history. Also we implemented this algorithm in an experimental system and, after setting experimental conditions that emulate the actual mobile network environment, we measured the performance of the experimental system. As a result, we demonstrated that the proposed algorithm can achieve higher CDN cost savings compared to the conventional algorithm where peers are selected at random.

최근 인터넷 미디어 스트리밍 수요의 증가로 인해 CDN(Content Delivery Network) 서버 비용이 크게 증가하였으며 이를 절감하기 위한 방안의 필요성이 날로 증가하고 있다. 이러한 상황에 맞춰 최근 CDN 서버 비용을 절감할 수 있는 WebRTC(Web Real-Time Communication) 표준 기반의 P2P(Peer-to-Peer) 통신을 병용하는 DASH(Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) 기술이 등장하였다. 본 논문에서는 이 기술의 CDN 서버 부하 절감 효과를 크게 개선할 수 있는 알고리듬을 제안한다. 또한 실제 모바일 네트워크 환경과 유사하게 실험 조건을 설정한 후, 이 알고리듬을 구현하여 그 성능을 측정한 결과, 기존과 비교하여 더 높은 절감 효과를 달성할 수 있음을 실험실 내 실험을 통해 보인다.

As a single video server exposes its limitation in scalability, capability, fault-tolerance, and cost-efficiency, solutions of this limitation emerge. However, these solutions have their own problems that will be discussed in this paper. To solve these problems and exploit various video silvers, we designed a parallel multimedia system architecture that supported a content-aware routing to heterogeneous personal computer (PC), operating system (OS), video servers through a HTTP-level redirection. We also developed a prototype, added different video servers into the prototype, and measured its overheads.

Netflix, Amazon Prime, and YouTube are the most popular and fastest-growing streaming services globally. It is a matter of great interest for the streaming service providers to preview their service infrastructure and streaming strategy in order to provide new streaming services. Hence, the first part of the paper presents a detailed survey of the Content Distribution Network (CDN) and cloud infrastructure of these service providers. To understand the streaming strategy of these service providers, the second part of the paper deduces a common quality-of-service (QoS) model based on rebuffering time, bitrate, progressive download ratio, and standard deviation of the On-Off cycle. This model is then used to analyze and compare the streaming behaviors of these services. This study concluded that the streaming behaviors of all these services are similar as they all use Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) on top of TCP. However, the amount of data that they download in the buffering state and steady-state vary, resulting in different progressive download ratios, rebuffering levels, and bitrates. The characteristics of their On-Off cycle are also different resulting in different QoS. Hence a thorough adaptive bit rate (ABR) analysis is presented in this paper. The streaming behaviors of these services are tested on different access network bandwidths, ranging from 75 kbps to 30 Mbps. The survey results indicate that Netflix QoS and streaming behavior are significantly consistent followed by Amazon Prime and YouTube. Our approach can be used to compare and contrast the streaming services' strategies and finetune their ABR and flow control mechanisms.
