We think that web caches will soon have to better support multimedia demands. In this paper we present a cache server design for internet video on demand (VoD) systems.Internet VoD today is dominated by systems like the Real G2 System supporting various low bandwidth formats. The length and especially the quality of current video clips are very limited, and not applicable at all for commercial VoD.One of the major limitations is the necessity to stream the video clip directly from a central server to each client individually, because re-distribution is not established yet.Intranet solutions have existed for a while, they use distributed systems but are typically managed from a central site.
