Video-on-Demand applications and their corresponding issueshave been a long-term research topic. The commercialdeployment and exploitation of these scenarios in PAEANs(Public Authorized Enterprize Access Networks) like in e.g.hotels, schools or airport lounges, however, is still in its earlystages. The reason for that are the high associated costs,the huge amount of bandwidth requirements for high-qualityvideo combinedwith the lowpenetration of broadband accessand the leaking Quality of Service (QoS) support. We proposedPeer-to-Peer technology that overcomes these drawbacks.Our approach allows each peer in the network to act asa restricted video-server that o.ers a low number of selectedvideos to other peers. This decentralized approach overcomesthe traditional drawbacks of client-server based solutions.Crucial to the success of this approach, however, is an intelligentcontent replication strategy that ensures that highly frequentedcontent is replicated across the network. This allowsfor innovative workload scaling to avoid local bottlenecks.Furthermore, our architecture allows to transmit this contentin quasi real-time. Hence, we present a new QoS-oriented architecturethat works in concert with the above mentionedconcepts. It uses true point-to-point communication in orderto preserve the on-Demand character of the applications.
