Abstract
Within the Future Media Internet, residential gateways, involving overlay network creation, are foreseen to become an efficient alternative solution for content distribution. This poster proposes a new residential gateway middleware approach, called the Home-Box (HB), exploiting an innovative popularity-based and collaborative caching strategy, able to achieve scalable and cost-effective Video-on-Demand (VoD) services. The middleware offers to Content Providers an efficient way to get media content closer to End-Users. Besides, the caching mechanism is coupled with context-aware features in order to select the best serving HBs, leveraging the HB middleware overlay with an overall load-balancing system. The solution has been implemented and deployed in a large scale test bed; results outlines the Home-Box, in collaboration with its neighbors, as a suitable and rightful asset alternative and/or complementarity to existing VoD service infrastructures such as Content Delivery Networks.
