Abstract
The next generation of distributed digital Video-onDemand (VoD) systems will use admission control tests to ensure that users receive predictable and guaranteed service. If the system cannot support a new request then that request blocks. This paper presents an analytical model to evaluate unified admission control strategies for distributed VoD systems with multiple video classes. We prove that there exists a computationally efficient technique to determine blocking probabilities for newly arriving requests. Through numerical analysis we show the effect of different admission control policies on overall system blocking rates. Keywords: Distributed Multimedia, Video-on-Demand Systems, Threshold-based Analysis, Admission Control, Blocking Probability. 1 INTRODUCTION Distributed Video-on-Demand systems are expected to be one of the most important services supported by the next generation of high-speed networks, video servers, and distributed multimedia systems. Upon request, VoD systems...
