Abstract
The transmission of large capacity and high bit rate for streaming media becomes a challenging study problem for the Web application. The proxy cache for streaming media is an efficient method to solve this problem. In this paper, we proposed the algorithm of dynamic cache-multicast based on partial cache method such as the prefix cache, segmentation-based cache et al. The idea of the algorithm is using a dynamic cache to keep partial media object requested by users in an interval time. The advance is that reference frequency of partial media in interval time is higher than that of full media requested by users. The dynamic cache-multicast algorithm enhances the efficiency of proxy cache for streaming media, mitigates network burden from content server, and saves the traffic resource for network backbone. Event-driven simulations are introduced to evaluate this algorithm is very efficient.
