Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
A burst of requests may starve the upload capacity of server and degrade the Quality of Service (QoS) when a popular or time-critical content is released in content delivery system. With an enormous volume of popular content available in the network, as well as the growing size of online users, the previous improvement of download protocol is far from enough to handle the flash crowd in large-scale system. In this paper, a novel flash crowd mitigation algorithm called Peer Assisted Pre-allocation (PAPA) is proposed from a new perspective, in which proactive strategies are provided to handle sudden workload of the system. Through numerical simulation and practical experiment in download platform of Tencent, it is proved that benefited from the collaboration of servers and helpers, PAPA is able to save the peak server bandwidth by over 30 % and thus greatly reduce the operating costs of system.
