Abstract

The proliferation of multimedia content on the Interent poses challenges 
to existing content delivery networks. While proxy caching can successfully 
deliver traditional text-based static objects, it faces difficulty delivering 
streaming media objects because of the objects' sizes as well as clients' 
rigorous continuous delivery demands. We present two techniques supporting 
segment-based proxy caching of streaming media. We evaluated these techniques 
in simulations and real systems.
