Abstract

This paper discusses several practical issues related to the provision of video-on-demand (VOD) services, focusing on retrieval of video data from disk on the server. First, with regard to system design, the pros and cons of cycle-based scheduling algorithms for VOD servers are compared, and an adequate policy according to system configuration is presented. Second, we present a way to tune the cycle-based scheduling algorithm so that it maximizes profit. Third, a method to overcome the cons of cycle-based scheduling algorithms is proposed, and its cost is analyzed.
