Abstract

We evaluate the performance of transcoding-enabled streaming media caching proxy system (TeC). TeC is designed for efficient delivery of rich media web contents to heterogeneous network environments and client capabilities. Depending on the connection speed and processing capability of an end user, the proxy transcodes the requested (and possibly cached) video into an appropriate format and delivers it to the user. We study the TeC performance by simulation using real traces derived from enterprise media server logs.
