Enabling next generation streaming media networks (keynote session)
Eric A. Brewer · 2000
The proliferation of broadband access, enhancements in production and encoding technologies and increasing consumer demand for rich, high bandwidth content are fueling the need for reliable and cost-effective streaming media delivery networks that ensure a high quality end-user experience. These networks provide a scalable infrastructure for both live and on-demand streaming media. In his keynote, Dr. Brewer will address specific IP infrastructure needs for streaming media delivery; the importance of caching, multicast and bandwidth provisioning; enhancing media delivery with network edge services; and putting it all together to create a high-performance, reliable streaming media delivery network.
