Abstract
With the explosive growth of multimedia streaming service, streaming proxy server is deployed to reduce response time, server load and network traffic. Existing single node proxy server has limitation on delivering many simultaneously streams. To solve this problem, in this paper, we propose a scalable streaming proxy server based on cluster architecture. We conduct some simulation experiments, which exhibit high scalability and high performance with our design.
