  1. An Overlay Multicast Infrastructure for Live/Stored Video Streaming Visual Communication Laboratory Department of Computer Science National Tsing Hua University

  2. Outline • Live video broadcasting • Typical service model • Limitations • Our goals • Overlay multicast infrastructure • Our previous works • Multicast video streaming • Peer-to-peer search & delivery • Scalable video coding

  3. Live Video Broadcasting • Techniques • Live video encoding • Multicast delivery • Commercial products • Windows Media Services (Microsoft) • Real System Server (Real) • QuickTime Streaming Server (Apple)

  4. Service Architecture StreamServer (VOD) Stream Server (Live) Encoder Storage Internet (Live Broadcast) (VOD)

  5. Multicast Routing Tree Client A (10:00) Client B (10:00) Client C (10:00) Client D (10:00)

  6. 5, 6, 7, … 1, 2, 3, 4 Common Solution: Prefix Caching • Permanently cache the front part of the video. • Clients request before (the start time + the length of the prefix) can see the entire video program. Prefix cache 1 2 3 4 C1

  7. 5 min store the first 5 min Client D (10:05) Multicast + Prefix Caching Client A (10:00) Client B (10:00) 5 min Client C (10:00) (10:05) queue the stream (10:10) read data from the buffer

  8. Limitations • Must know the video source in advance. • Need router support. (IP multicast) • Cannot pass through firewall/NAT. • Users arrive after the system startup time cannot view the front part of the video. • Prefix caching is not perfect.

  9. Scenario: Request & Playback • User input • Service mode (live/on-demand) • Video attributes • Peer-to-peer search • Streaming • Overlay multicast • Payment (?) • By service mode (VOD > live) (from server > from p2p) • By video (popular > unpopular) (bit rate) • By search method (advanced > basic)

  10. Request flow distributed query input : service mode query rules init multicast video stream peer 0 EPG peer 1 Search Player peer 4 meta data P2P peer 3 peer 2

  11. Topics in this project • Overlay multicast • Peer-to-peer infrastructure • Performance optimization • Two-mode multicasting • Live broadcasting (real-time) • On-demand streaming (see the entire video)

  12. Advanced Topics (?) • Advanced electronic program guide • Intelligent search • Personal profile • Ambiguous keyword search • Melody / scene search • Distributed / continuous query • Matchmaker (?) • Meta datas • Creation/collection/distribution • Format (?) (object-based?)

  13. Our Previous Works • On-Demand Multicast Streaming Delivery Platform • Technology and Systems • Peer-to-Peer Streaming Video (Directory Search) • Proxy-based Streaming Video • Multicast streaming platform for layered videos

  15. 5 4 3 2 4 3 2 1 C1 C2 10:04 10:00 Interval Caching • Cache a sliding interval of the video. Caching buffer 2, 1 1 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 4, 3, 2, 1 1

  16. Timing Control Mechanism 10:00 10:00 10:03 10:05 2, 1 7 6 5 4 3 To player D, 10:05 4, 3, 2, 1 To player C, 10:03 To player B, 10:00 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

  17. 10:08 10:06 On-Demand Multicast Routing source 10:06 10:03 10:02 10:00 Network • Constructing an on-demand multicast tree • find a routing path • allocate buffers to generate path delay
