Mechanisms for content delivery over IP Networks
Description
The course studies several content distribution mechanisms used over IP networks: multicast, caching, CDN and P2P. All systems can be used independently or combined. They are used for the distribution of different services: web or streaming video, IPTV distribution and even massive online games. We also study and analyze the implementation of content distribution over the Future Internet.
The course complements the service design capacities and improvement of the performance of networks. The different content distribution mechanisms are studied from several points of view like descriptive and algorithmic. Different use cases are presented, studied and compared. The study will focus on the IPTV systems of content mass distribution.
