Active and passive replication are powerful techniques to improve the quality of multimedia streaming. Most systems follow either the active or the passive approach. A well known example for active replication are Content Distribution Networks [8] that replicate data to predefined static locations. In contrast to that, P2P file sharing networks [2, 1] use passive replication where identical content is usually provided by different peers. We suggest a system that combines both techniques using Proxy Affinity, Request Affinity and Replication Affinity considering user preferences, user behaviour, hardware resources and networks capabilities.
