Distributed Video-on-Demand (DVoD) systems are proposed as a
solution to the limited streaming capacity and null scalability of centralized
systems. In a previous work, we proposed a fully distributed large-scale VoD
architecture, called Double P-Tree, which has shown itself to be a good approach
to the design of flexible and scalable DVoD systems. In this paper, we
present relevant design aspects related to video mapping and traffic balancing in
order to improve Double P-Tree architecture performance. Our simulation results
demonstrate that these techniques yield a more efficient system and considerably
increase its streaming capacity. The results also show the crucial importance
of topology connectivity in improving multicasting performance in
DVoD systems. Finally, a comparison among several DVoD architectures was
performed using simulation, and the results show that the Double P-Tree architecture
incorporating mapping and load balancing policies outperforms similar
DVoD architectures.
