Abstract :
We consider a theoretical framework for performing admission control in a video-on-demand (VOD) system. Unlike previous work on the admission control on a VOD system guaranteed quality-of-service (QoS) on the aggregated traffic, our admission control algorithm can guarantee the QoS requirements of individual connections. The QoS requirements we consider are the individual connection´s bandwidth and the individual connection´s packet dropping-rate. These two QoS requirements are specified by users and our admission control algorithm decides whether to admit a new request or not
