In wireless networks, bandwidth is relatively scarce, especially for supporting on-demand media streaming. In wired networks, multicast stream merging is a well-known technique for scalable on-demand streaming. Also, caching proxies are widely used on the Internet to offload servers and reduce network traffic. This paper uses simulation to examine a caching hierarchy for wireless streaming video distribution, in combination with multicast stream merging. The main purpose is to gain insight into the filtering effects caused by caching and merging. Using request frequencies, entropy, and inter-reference times as metrics, we illustrate how merging, caching, and traffic aggregation affect the traffic characteristics at each level. The simulation results provide useful insights into caching performance in a video streaming hierarchy.
