Abstract:
Due to the recent popularization of IP
multicasts, the continuous broadcasting of audio or video
media data is attracting great attention. Although servers
can concurrently deliver data to many clients, they have
to wait until their data are broadcast. In division-based
broadcasting, many researches have proposed scheduling
methods to reduce waiting time. A division-based
broadcasting system has also been proposed to evaluate
these schemes. However, this system does not consider
several problems that are assumed in actual networks.
In this paper, we implement a division-based broadcasting
system for webcasts. In our proposed system, we evaluate
the effectiveness of reducing both the waiting and
interruption times using conventional methods.
