The large amount of bandwidth and other resources required to deliver streaming media limits the number of concurrent users. The paper proposes a Virtual Active Network (VAN) architecture for streaming media data delivery over wide area networks. In the proposed architecture, cooperating proxies support multiplexing and delivery of live streaming media. The hierarchical delivery structure is dynamically adjusted based on user population distribution, usage patterns, and network conditions. The proposed system architecture provides reliable and high quality live streaming media delivery; lower server resource requirements at the content provider sites; reduced inter-ISP traffic; application level routing for rapid deployment; and cost-effective media data delivery.
