Improving DASH Performance in a Network with Caching

Published: 07 December 2017 Publication History

Abstract

Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) has been widely used in online video streaming nowadays. To reduce network congestion, popular videos are replicated in the intermediate cache nodes. However, with DASH, the intermediate cache node may lead to bitrate oscillations due to the difference in the throughputs from the end user to the cache node and from that to the origin server. In this paper, we develop an adaptation logic for DASH that can reduce bitrate oscillations. Our proposed adaptation logic combines both throughput-based and buffer-based adaptation methods. Extensive simulations show the efficiency of our proposed method.
