Abstract
In this paper we analytically derive the sojourn time of a user accessing an online IPTV recording service. Basically, the system consists of a server (or server farm) and the bandwidth at which a user can download recorded files depends on the number of other concurrently downloading users. In particular, we consider both cases, one in which the user’s download speed is limited by his own access bandwidth, whereas in the other case the server is the bottleneck and all downloading users share the server’s upload capacity. Our model includes user impatience which depends on the actual download speed. A user may abort his download attempt if a threshold duration is exceeded. The file size distribution is obtained by measurements of offered files at an existing server.
