Abstract :

Due to the popularity of both live and interactive streaming contents, video has already occupied the major component in
Internet traffic. Such component is expected to continue to rise due to our appetite for better quality and mobile access of
video applications. Out of all the mechanisms, over-the-top (OTT) delivery emerges as a promising approach to achieve wide
and deep geographical footprints. In order to tame the congestion in the Internet to support large-scale streaming, we have
been conducting research and development of a novel OTT streaming network based on cloud and fog optimization. For live
broadcasting, the major concern is to achieve low source-to-end delay and bandwidth cost. For video-on-demand, the major
concern is where to replicate and access contents to achieve low interactive delay. In this talk, I will first highlight our research
results in cloud and fog streaming. Over the past years, we have been working with industries to deploy the technology to large
scale. I will share our experience in deployment trials and our technology transfer and commercialization activities in this
regard.
