Parallel video distribution architectures for LiveStreaming multimedia systems

With the introduction of parallel video distribution architecture, the problem of server capacity in a high-demand/high data volume transfer environment is solved with an approach of distributed signal processing and rendering thus reducing the overall load on a single machine (server) and improving the overall solution performance. This paper reviews three parallel video distribution approaches (Proxy-At-Server, Independent Proxy and Proxy-At-Client) that have been presented as cost-effective implementations which can guarantee QoS/QoE in the overall implementation.
