| Abstract | In order to minimize bandwidth requirements and improve on demand streaming media distribution scalability, several distribution protocols based on stream sharing by multiple users have been proposed. Despite the great scalability of these protocols proven for workloads where users access the entire media with no interruptions, several studies show that protocol scalability is severely degraded under interactive scenarios, where users access media segments. These scenarios are commonly observed in real streaming media server workloads. In reply to these results, a number of extensions to the original protocols, optimized for interactive access, have been proposed and evaluated, indicating significant server bandwidth savings even under highly interactive scenarios. However, one of the most promissing class of optimizations may send extra streams through the network during inactive client periods. Therefore, network bandwidth requirements for these optimizations become a critical issue that has not been evaluated yet. This work presents an evaluation of the network bandwidth requirements for the interactive access optimized protocols, considering realistic workloads of different interactivity levels and canonical and real network topologies. Results indicate that the optimizations also lead to a significant reduction in the average network bandwidth requirements (peak of 60%).Visando minimizar os requisitos de banda e aumentar a escalabilidade da distribuição sob demanda de mĩdia contĩnua, v´rios protocolos de distribuição baseados em compartilhamento de fluxos por múltiplos usu´rios foram propostos. Embora esteja comprovada a grande escalabilidade desses protocolos para cargas onde os usu´rios acessam toda a mĩdia sem interrupções, v´rios estudos mostraram que a mesma é severamente degradada em cen´rios interativos, onde os usu´rios acessam segmentos da mĩdia. Cen´rios comumente observados em cargas de acesso a servidores reais de mĩdia contĩnua. Em resposta a esse resultado, v´rias extensões dos protocolos originais, otimizadas para acesso interativo, foram propostas e avaliadas, indicando uma grande economia de banda de servidor mesmo em cen´rios com alta interatividade. Entretanto, uma das classes de otimizações mais promissoras pode enviar fluxos extras pela rede durante perĩodos inativos do cliente. Assim, os requisitos de banda de rede dessas otimizações se torna um ponto crĩtico que ainda não foi avaliado. Este artigo avalia o consumo de banda de rede pelos protocolos otimizados para acessos interativos, considerando cargas de trabalho realistas com diferentes nĩveis de interatividade e topologias de redes canônicas e reais. Os resultados indicam que as otimizações também levam a uma significativa redução no consumo médio de banda de rede (pico de até 60%). |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
