A file server for continuous media must provide resource guarantees and only admit requests that do not violate the resource availability. This paper addresses the admission performance of a server that explicitly considers the variable bit rate nature of the continuous media streams. A prototype version of the server has been implemented and evaluated in several heterogeneous environments. The two system resources for which admission control is evaluated are the disk bandwidth and the network bandwidth. Performance results from both measurement and simulation are shown with respect to different admission methods and varying scenarios of stream delivery patterns. We show that the vbrSim algorithm developed specifically for the server outperforms the other options for disk admission especially with request patterns that have staggered arrivals, while the network admission control algorithm is able to utilize a large percentage of the network bandwidth available. We also show the interactions between the limits of these two resources and how a system can be configured without wasted capacity on either one of the resources.
