摘要
本文讨论了关于在互联网上向大量用户分发流媒体内容的问题。在传统的客户机服务器架构之上,考虑在客户端请求过多时可能出现的服务器过载情况。本文提出的StreamCast系统是一种基于对等网的技术,它能够减轻服务器的负载。本文比较详细的讨论了所提出的解决方案,并且指出了一些有价值的研究问题。
In this paper, we discuss the problem of distributing streaming media content to a large number of hosts in a scalable way. Our work is set in the context of the traditional client - server framework. Specifically, we consider the problem that arises when the server is overwhelmed by the volume of requests from its clients. As a solution, we propose StreamCast, where clients cooperate to distribute content using a peer - to - peer approach, thereby alleviating the load on the server. We discuss the proposed solution in some detail, and point out the interesting research issues that arise.
