Internet Path Selection on Video QoE Analysis and ImprovementsIJTET Journal
Abstract— Systematically study a large number of Internet paths between popular video destinations and clients to create an empirical understanding of the location, existence, and repetition of failures. Finding ways to lower a providers costs for real-time, Internet protocol television services through a Internet protocol television architecture and through intelligent destination-shifting of selected services investigate ways to recover from Quality of Experience degradation. Using Live Television and Video on Demand as examples, we can take advantage of the different deadlines associated with each service to effectively obtain these services. Designing and implementing a prototype packet forwarding module called source initiated frame restoration. We implemented source initiated frame restoration on nodes and compared the performance of source initiated frame restoration to the default Internet routing. We found that source initiated frame restoration outperforms IP path selection by providing higher on-screen perceptual quality. These failures are mapped to the desired video quality in need by reconstructing video clips and by conducting user surveys. We can then examine ways to recover from Quality of Experience degradation by choosing one hop detour paths that preserve application specific policies. Path ranking methodology is used to find the path which contain high quality videos with low cost and occupies very low memory space. By ranking videos according to their quality, size, and cost, the top ranking videos can be retrieved by the client.
Tips for Selecting an Enterprise YouTubeMediaPlatform
Research at medium and large enterprises across all industries has proven that video is a valuable tool for making an organization more social, improving employee engagement and enabling collaboration and knowledge sharing. Unfortunately, tools like YouTube and Vimeo lack the privacy, branding options and security controls required by corporate communications professionals to serve as an organization’s video portal.
Network Cost and Performance Transformation ServicesMartin Geddes
Presentation prepared by Predictable Network Solutions. Overview on their network cost and performance transformations services for communication service providers.
Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.
