Abstract

In video-on-demand systems, users expect to watch a filmright after its selection. Nonetheless, such a short response time isfeasible only if there is available bandwidth. In line with that,several techniques have been proposed to reduce the huge bandwidthdemand on video servers. In this paper, we introduce the Piggybackingpolicy S^2, which adds a second level of optimization to the Snapshot policy. Moreover, we introduce a heuristic to reduce thecomplexity to generate the tree of superimposed video streams.
