Experiences with evaluating system QoS and channel performance on media-on-demand systems

This paper presents the design and implementation of a continuous media file system, which has been implemented in the context of a distributed multimedia application development environment that has been prototyped. To make a performance analysis of file systems and distributed object services for continuous media provisioning, we validate the performance analysis of the file system on media-on-demand (MOD) systems against that of a conventional file system through an experimental evaluation.
