Abstract:
In order to relieve the experiment environment constraint on Mobile Streaming Media Content Delivery Network research, a MSM-CDN simulator is designed and implemented through extending functionality of the CDNsim to better meet the needs of MSM-CDN.The MSM-CDN simulator introduces the network nodes of portal server, administrator server and wireless client campus, an efficient way of request redirection, and a novel algorithm for processing a request for multiple SMIL files.The experiment results show that the MCM-CDN simulator can be used to effectively simulate request redirection policy, caching policy and caching server configuration.
