Redundancy Mechanisms Applied in Video Streaming Service on Eucalyptus Cloud Computing Infrastructures

Cloud computing is becoming one of the most convenient ways for information services through network accesses. In this paper, we describe the architecture of cloud computing and discuss the issue of in-cast, which may downgrade the transmission performance when the number of simultaneous transmission servers is getting larger. The in-cast transmission may introduce the out of sequence of packet delivery and may reduce the system throughput. This paper constructs the software environment to simulate the performance of video streaming services delivered by the servers in cloud. We first examine the performance of the out of sequence issue of packet transmission when the Hashed Credit Fair (HCF) algorithm was applied and investigate the multicast performance of video streaming service with respect to the numbers of servers. With the increasing of the number of servers, we note that transmission performance is not improved, on the contrary, the system throughput downgrades sharply. We believe the simulation results of this paper will be helpful for the design of cloud video multicast services.

Vod Streaming

For several years cloud computing has been generating considerable debate and interest within IT corporations. Since cloud computing environments provide storage and processing systems that are adaptable, efficient, and straightforward, thereby enabling rapid infrastructure modifications to be made according to constantly varying workloads, organizations of every size and type are migrating to web-based cloud supported solutions. Due to the advantages of the pay-per-use model and scalability factors, current video on demand (VoD) streaming services rely heavily on cloud infrastructures to offer a large variety of multimedia content. Recent well documented failure events in commercial VoD services have demonstrated the fundamental importance of maintaining high availability in cloud computing infrastructures, and hierarchical modeling has proved to be a useful tool for evaluating the availability of complex systems and services. This paper presents an availability model for a video streaming service deployed in a private cloud environment which includes redundancy mechanisms in the infrastructure. Differential sensitivity analysis was applied to identify and rank the critical components of the system with respect to service availability. The results demonstrate that such a modeling strategy combined with differential sensitivity analysis can be an attractive methodology for identifying which components should be supported with redundancy in order to consciously increase system dependability.

High Quality Video

Situation awareness in surveillance systems benefits from high-quality video streaming service. This is even more important considering military systems, in which delays in image transmission may have a significant impact on the decision-making process. However, in order to deliver high-quality video streaming service, the required network infrastructure may be prohibitively complex, or even completely impossible to deploy, if mobile data providers are considered. Moreover, the demand for high network throughput poses extra requirements on the network. Considering this context, this paper addresses the problem of highly mobile networks composed of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as data providers of a military surveillance system. The proposed approach to tackle the problem is based on a Software Defined Networking (SDN) approach aiming at providing the best routes to deliver the data, enhancing the end-user quality of experience. An extensive experimental campaign was performed by means of simulations and the acquired results provide solid evidence of the usefulness of this proposal.
