Paolo Medagliani, Stefano Paris, J\'er\'emie Leguay, Lorenzo Maggi,, Xue Chuangsong, Haojun Zhou

TL;DR
This paper presents an efficient overlay routing algorithm for CDNs that optimizes video transfer paths to improve QoE by minimizing delay under multiple network constraints, using SDN-based overlay networks.
Contribution
It introduces a near-optimal, fast algorithm for computing overlay paths that satisfy QoS constraints, enhancing video transfer speed in CDNs.
Findings
Maximizes the number of fast video transfers in real CDN traces.
Reduces path computation time significantly.
Ensures QoS constraints like delay, jitter, and packet loss are met.
Abstract
Content Delivery Networks (CDN) are witnessing the outburst of video streaming (e.g., personal live streaming or Video-on-Demand) where the video content, produced or accessed by mobile phones, must be quickly transferred from a point to another of the network. Whenever a user requests a video not directly available at the edge server, the CDN network must 1) identify the best location in the network where the content is stored, 2) set up a connection and 3) deliver the video as quickly as possible. For this reason, existing CDNs are adopting an overlay structure to reduce latency, leveraging the flexibility introduced by the Software Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm. In order to guarantee a satisfactory Quality of Experience (QoE) to users, the connection must respect several Quality of Service (QoS) constraints. In this paper, we focus on the sub-problem 2), by presenting an approach…
