Content Summary | Most research in the area of designing and
implementing continuous media servers, which
support delay-sensitive data like audio and
video, has assumed either clients with very small
memory sizes for buffering and no secondary
storage (thin clients) or a homogeneous client
environment where all clients have exactly the
same performance characteristics. Both
assumptions are radically changing due to the
availability of inexpensive storage, as well as the
great diversity of clients that exist now and will
exist in the future. In this work we look more
closely at the implications that the existence of
clients with diverse performance characteristics
may have in the server design. Our approach is
experimental. We use conventional hardware for
servers and clients and examine bottlenecks and
optimization options systematically, in order to
reduce jitter and increase the maximum number
of clients that the system can support. We show
that the diversity of client performance
characteristics can be taken into account, so that
all clients are well supported for delay-sensitive
retrieval in a heterogeneous environment. We
also show that their characteristics can be
exploited to maximize server throughput under
server memory constrains. | en |
