A multi-server design for a distributed MPEG video system with streaming support and QoS control

In this paper, we propose a new transmission scheme suitable for a multi-server video system. The proposed transmission scheme is priority-driven and assigns priorities to the video data according to the urgency and the nature of the MPEG video. With the software feedback mechanism, and according to the feedback, the system changes the feeding pattern or skips some unrecognizable frames in order to maintain the committed QoS.
