种基于Sever和Proxy流媒体流行性的Caching策略

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 proving to be major limiting factors. Aiming at the characteristic of broadband network in a residential area, we propose a popularitybased on server-proxy caching strategy for streaming media. According to a streaming media popularity on streaming server and proxy, this strategy caches the content of this streaming media partially or completely, and plays an important role in decreasing server load, reducing the traffic from streaming server to proxy, and improving the startup latency of the client.
