The transfer of prerecorded, compressed video requires multimedia services to support large fluctuations in band width requirements on multiple time scales. Bandwidth smoothing techniques can reduce the burstiness of a variable-bit-rate stream by prefetching data at a series of fixed rates, simplifying the allocation of resources in video servers and the communication network. Given a fixed client-side prefetch buffer, several bandwidth smoothing algorithms have been introduced that are provably optimal under certain constraints. This paper presents a collection of metrics for comparing these smoothing algorithms and evaluating their cost-performance trade-offs. Due to the scarcity of available trace data, we have constructed a video capture testbed and generated a collection of twenty full-length, motion-JPEG encoded video clips. Using these video traces and a range of client buffer sizes, we investi gate the interplay between the performance metrics through simulation experiments. The results highlight the unique strengths and weaknesses of each algorithm.
