Abstract
Realcourse is a video stream service supported by a collection of physical servers distributed all over China. This article provides a comprehensive description on the model, architecture, and operation mechanism behind realcourse. In particular, the highly-availability feature and dynamic re-configurability is emphasized.
This work is supported by ChinaGrid project and 973 grant (G1999032706).
