Abstract:
A system and method is provided for controlling multimedia data transmission to a communication device via a network. The system comprises a de-muxer configured to obtain a first multimedia data for transmission and a flow controller configured to evaluate an estimated buffer time associated with the communication device. If the estimated buffer time satisfies a first threshold condition, the flow controller updates a current transmitting state to be a pacing state. And if the estimated buffer time satisfies a second threshold condition, the flow controller updates the current transmitting state to be a bursting state. The system also comprises a muxer configured to transmit the first multimedia data at a transmitting rate corresponding to the bursting state or the pacing state.
Abstract:
A cache server includes a memory, and a processor to acquire segments of media data associated with a first request, with the first request being generated by a client device. The segments associated with the first request are stored in the memory. Keys for the segments associated with the first request are generated, with each segment having a respective key associated therewith that is a unique identifier for that segment.
Abstract:
A cache server, a method, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions are disclosed. The apparatus comprises a memory and one or more processors configured to acquire one or more segments of media data associated with a first request, the first request being generated by one or more client devices, store the one or more segments associated with the first request, generate a key for each segment of the one or more segments associated with the first request, and generate a first set entry and a first set key for the one or more segments associated with the first request.
