ACM SIGCOMM '24: Proceedings of the ACM SIGCOMM 2024 ConferencePages 613–644https://doi.org/10.1145/3651890.3672260The primary objective of adaptive bitrate (ABR) streaming is to enhance users' quality of experience (QoE) by dynamically adjusting the video bitrate in response to changing network conditions. However, users often find frequent bitrate switching ...

AViC: a cache for adaptive bitrate video
CoNEXT '19: Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Emerging Networking Experiments And TechnologiesPages 305–317https://doi.org/10.1145/3359989.3365423Video dominates Internet traffic today. Users retrieve on-demand video from Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) which cache video chunks at front-ends. In this paper, we describe AViC, a caching algorithm that leverages properties of video delivery, such ...

Computer Networks: The International Journal of Computer and Telecommunications Networking (CNTW), Volume 107, Issue P1Pages 94–103https://doi.org/10.1016/j.comnet.2016.05.020As the volume of content served by content distribution networks (CDNs) grows, these networks evolve to improve performance. Their performance is difficult to characterize because it depends on a number of factors. In this paper, we develop a ...
