Analysis of Server Workload and Client Interactions in a News-on-Demand Streaming System

摘要

This paper investigates several aspects of streaming in News-on-Demand services on the Internet by analyzing log files of a news service from Norway's largest online newspaper. We investigate both short and long term effects of client usage of the service. By comparing our results with earlier work, we found that variations in server load depend strongly on local culture. Furthermore, we found that there are slight variations between client usage of the audio and video material.
