Modern Network-Assisted Delivery of Adaptive Video Streaming Services

With the advancement of computer networks and OTT providers, the demand for video streaming services is higher than ever.

• HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS)‐based streaming solutions are a way toward effective video streaming in high quality.

• Individual nodes only observe part of the video streaming system, which results in imperfect adaptations and poor long-tail performance.

• One or multiple in-network components with a broader view of the network can be employed to assist video players in making precise adaptation decisions.
