Dynamic Server Configuration for Multiple Streaming in a Home Network
2014
In home network, to manage network bandwidth usage, one solution is to control the server outgoing traffic with a token bucket policy. Hull-based token bucket parameter setting allows the guarantee of Quality of Service for variable bitrate video streaming. Hull is an abstraction of the bitrate, following the bandwidth requirement evolution dynamically. In the case of multi-streaming, we investigate a shifting technique to reduce the peaks impact. Postponing the streaming starting time of a video helps to decrease the maximum required bandwidth. The technique is then mixed with the hull-based reservation. Simulations show the effectiveness of the combined approaches to optimize bandwidth usage, guaranteeing the best QoS for streaming. Online utilization is also discussed.
