Abstract

Personal Video Recorders (PVRs) such as TiVo have become very popular in recent years due to their ability to intelligently record TV content and make it accessible in an on-demand fashion to its users. Our research looks at providing a globally accessible storage architecture where all content broadcast over a period of time is available for streaming. Our architecture consists of idle ISP servers, that can be rented and released dynamically as the load requires. In this paper we focus on managing the resources required to provide TV on Demand (TVoD) system, and develop a cost function which examines the resources required to serve a client and identifies the optimal proxy to serve the client.
