Revenue-maximizing server selection and admission control for IPTV content servers using available bandwidth estimates

摘要: We present a server selection and admission control algorithm for IPTV networks that uses available bandwidth estimation to assess on the path from an end-user point of attachment one or more content servers employs revenue maximising decision process prioritizes requests high item types over lower types. The operates by estimating expected request arrival rates different based past and, these estimates decides whether accept new when accepting requests, which use. Results simulation study show succeeds in 1) maintaining acceptable packet delays accepted flows presence fluctuating background traffic network paths 2) is limited prioritizing higher
