Network-Adaptive Cache Management Schemes for Mixed Media

Abstract

For efficently caching mixed-media, this paper discusses several network-adaptive cache management schemes. Considering the characteristics of different types of media, we first proposed a multi-level page-size management scheme. Then, a media-characteristic-weighted replacement policy is presented to improve the hit ratio of mixed media including continuous and noncontinuous media. Lastly, a network-condition- and media-quality-adaptive resource management mechanism is described to dynamically re-allocate cache resource for different types of media according to their request patterns. Simulation results demonstrate effectiveness of our propsoed approaches.
