Abstract :
Most existing distribution protocols for video-on-demand are tailored for a specific range of request arrival rates and do not perform well beyond that range. We present a universal distribution protocol based on L. Juhn and L. Tseng´s (1998) fast broadcasting protocol. Our protocol performs as well as the best reactive protocol at low-to-moderate request arrival rates and reverts to the fast broadcasting protocol at high arrival rates
