Abstract

Advancements in computing and networking have paved a path for the growth of the multimedia industry. Today, multimedia has a number of applications that can significantly attract a wide range of customers towards it. Applications such as digital libraries and Video-on-Demand (VoD) services are becoming more popular in the current era. Thus, online access to multimedia information has become possible and cost efficient. As the number of customers increase, the load on the server(s) also increases and may future lead to degradation of the performance of the system as well as the QoS being offered. This is mainly due to some of the effects of heavy load on the servers. Thus, load balancing is becoming more a trivial issue in the design of VoD systems. This paper focuses on proposing a multithreaded dynamic load balancing strategy for Video-on-Demand (VoD) systems.
