Abstract :
In this paper, we study distributed home theatre, a video service which allows distributed users to debate a film. We investigate the interplay between bandwidth reduction and program replication techniques. We evaluate the impact of user distribution, network topology and number of users per session on this interplay. Moreover, we state a bandwidth minimization principle which can be used in admission control policies
