Abstract

See full text

An integrated scheduling approach that provides VCR control functions to clients without always requiring a separate video stream for all clients. When a client invokes a resume, following a pause, the system uses a hierarchy of methods to handle the request. If an ongoing video stream is available such that the point at which the client is paused will be reached by that stream within a tolerable delay, the client is assigned to the ongoing stream. If no such stream is available, and the client request can not be served from a buffer, the system assigns the client to a reserve stream taken from a pool of reserved server capacity. If no reserved server capacity is available, the client is given priority for assignment to the next stream to become available.
